About

If you desire an experienced, professional photographer to not only tell your story in beautiful images, but who will help you navigate the planning and execution of your wedding day celebration, I would love to meet with you. I love wedding days and sharing them with my couples, almost as much as I love hearing that I have helped to make their wedding day be as fun and stress-free as possible.

When you choose to trust me with your wedding photographs, you don't just get a photographer. You get more than a decade of experience as a "Wedding Swiss Army Knife" that can help your day go smoothly in a variety of ways. I've fully planned weddings, I've officiated weddings (still do!), and I take care of my couples and their guests. And, I even offer something most other photographers can't: a flattering, bird's eye view from my 6'7" tall vantage point!

Please take a moment to read some of my reviews, and see how much I love helping my couples have a great time on their wedding day. My timeless storytelling visual style isn't stuck in any passing fad. It will not "date" your wedding in any specific time period, and will ensure that your wedding day photographs will be enjoyed for many, many years to come!

You should absolutely choose Chadwick Weddings!

Chadwick was an amazing Officiant. He was professional, kind, and reduced my stress on my big day. Unfortunately, he was my only vendor that I did not have an issue with. I have not a single criticism or complaint about him. When he arrived he came to find me to confirm he details before the ceremony, the only vendor to do so. He read my ceremony script the exact way I wrote it. My ceremony could not have gone better. I cannot thank Michael enough for the amazing job he did. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to get married. Truly a top tier officiant that clearly loves what he does.

Amazing! Super guy!

He was amazing! And incredibly nice, helpful. Answered any and all questions. He went above and beyond and if I ever get married again, he's officiating! lol. He's just one of those people that exudes kindness and he made me feel super important on my special day! Thank you!

Perfect Officiant - Highly Recommend!

Michael was the perfect officiant for our wedding ceremony! He made this entire process so smooth and easy for us, even from our first phone call months prior to the big day. Michael is incredibly kind and supportive, but what we loved most was his ability to share wedding knowledge and expertise with us as we navigated this journey. From start to finish, Michael answered all of our questions and made sure understood our vision. The ceremony was absolutely perfect, and exactly what we wanted. We attribute all of that to Michael! Our family and friends loved meeting Michael, and it was a genuine pleasure to have him at our wedding!

Michael made our ceremony so special!!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael Chadwick officiate our wedding, and we could not have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Michael was warm, professional, and incredibly friendly. He took the time to get to know us, made us feel comfortable, and truly personalized the ceremony in a way that felt authentic and meaningful.

On our big day, Michael delivered the ceremony beautifully—his words were heartfelt, genuine, and perfectly balanced between warmth and professionalism. Many of our guests commented afterward on how touching and well-done the ceremony was, which is a true reflection of his talent and care.

Michael has such a calming and kind presence, and he made what could have been a stressful moment feel effortless and full of joy. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our special day and would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant who is not only professional and reliable but also truly compassionate and personable.

Thank you, Michael, for helping make our wedding day so memorable!

Beyond grateful

Throughout life, we experience several life-changing events, but once you find your person, your wedding day is quite possibly one of the most memorable and important ones. Even if the celebration is small and intimate, we still try our best to make it as perfect as it can be and, in my opinion, the person you choose to officiate that marriage is, by far, one of the most essential details.

I got married to my best friend just a few days ago, and I am leaving this review because I am beyond grateful to have had the chance to meet Michael and have him officiate our ceremony. My husband and I aren't the most typical; we are both nerds, both introverts, and both neurodivergent. We aimed for our wedding to represent us in every possible way, and to be totally honest, before we met Michael, we struggled to find an officiant who understood us and gave us the feeling we were in good hands. Michael not only took the time to get to know us as individuals and as a couple, but he also went above and beyond to tailor his speech to perfection. He found the exact words to make us feel seen, amused, understood, and absolutely happy. He even researched the videogame I met my husband in and used a few of the beautiful phrases our favorite characters say.

As if that weren’t impressive enough, he was the very first person to arrive at the ceremony, looking sharp in his suit, ready for anything that came our way. Did you forget a ring box? No worries, he had one. Would your makeup get ruined with all the tears? Fear not. He had Q-tips and tissues in every pocket. For those who get the reference, his suit was like Mary Poppins bag. He also made sure we were calm, relaxed, and happy before stepping outside the bridal room and helped us with all introductions and announcements. Throughout the entire event, and even before that, communication was smooth, prompt, and transparent. I could keep going about how impressed and grateful we are to have hired him, but I believe this review says we absolutely recommend him clearly enough.

The best wedding story ever told!

Michael, you are wonderful! We enjoyed every bit of our wedding day and a lot of that had to do with having you as our photographer. Arriving early to multiple locations the day of…the relief I felt when I saw you pull up I knew we were going to have a fantastic day. You are incredibly organized, thoughtful, calm and fun!! When our hand fasting cord got left behind, you went running mid ceremony to find it even tho you didn’t have to..only taking maybe 2 min to find it amongst all the craziness of wedding decor, boxes, bridesmaids bags and who only knows what else!!…then running it out to our outdoor ceremony (those longs legs help!) I believe you knew where more things were than any of us did the day of!! My husband, so grateful for your humor and professionalism was beyond thankful when you would fix his boutonnière and in the moment tell him things to help keep everything going smoothly…like not to hug people wearing makeup the way he was bc he’s so tall too, that they were smearing all over his suit but you pulled out a shout wipe, cleaned him up and kept it moving. Communication from our first phone call all the way through after the wedding was impeccable. We had a blast doing all of our photos, you keep it light and fun so everyone can relax and you can get the shots we wanted, to have our wedding day story told so beautifully. Really we couldn’t be happier and more amazed by you! Thank you for so much and for helping to give us a FANTASTIC day. Would love to work with you again, even hang out with you as friends, you felt like family 💙

An absolute joy!

Michael Chadwick was the perfect choice as the officiant for our Harry Potter-themed ceremony. We wanted the ceremony to be short yet elegant, with a few Harry Potter quotes, and Michael delivered. He provided a mock-up of the ceremony that included our vows (which we didn’t write ourselves) and even added some jokes to keep things light. Michael was a joy to interact with, both for us and our family and guests. He also guided us through the process of filing the marriage license. We would 100% recommend him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Having a great photographer for your big day is one of the most important things you need! We can't say enough about Michael and his team. They were polite, and super accommodating, especially given the circumstances we sometimes have to adjust to in the wedding world. You could really tell that he cared about the couple and the kind of photos they wanted. Easy to work with, gorgeous photos and just an all around pleasure to work with!
