About

Introduction

Michael J Costa Photography is a professional wedding buisness based in Los Osos, California. My passion for photography has led me to travel around the world in search of creating dynamic images. I have combined my skills and passion to enter a fascinating career in the wedding industry. I have worked with various wedding couples and venues throughout the state of California, including the Yosemite National Park and now the Central Coast. Working in the buisness, I have been fortunate to have worked with wedding couples from all walks of life and needs. I pride myself in being timely and efficient, while at the same time creating memories that truly respresent the personality of the couples who hire me.

Experience

With over 10 years of experience working as a wedding photogrpaher, I have the ablility to capture and document your wedding day, in a unique that will give you years of visual enjoyment. My attention to detail and proficiency in capturing all the details that represent the couple wedding day.

My background consists of a Bachelor of a fine arts from the Academy of Art University. My interest has always been in the fine art, photojournalism and documentary side of the photogrpahy, which makes me a natural and ideal candidate when searching for a wedding photographer. I have traveled throughout the world creating amazing portraits and landscape, which has helped to train my eye to become even stronger and better photographer. Both my education and traveling have benefited my buisness and I translate all that experience into the images I create.

Engagement Photos

My fiancé and I had a fabulous experience with Michael J Costa photography. I connected with Michael through a recommendation from the Airbnb hostess in Oakhurst, CA where my “soon-to-be” fiancé and I were staying while we visited Yosemite National Park. Michael was extremely easy to work with, helped me coordinate the perfect time, place, and day for the BIG proposal. That may not seem all that difficult but considering we had never been to the area and were traveling from Minnesota it was extremely helpful! Not only was Michael flexible on day and time, he even drove into the park and hiked into the designated place in Yosemite before sunrise and prior to my fiancé and I arriving so that he could take some great candid shots. He was so friendly and made communication very easy via e-mail and text. The photos he took were extraordinary and captured our love with great shots. He sent a USB and provided us with edited photos that were perfect! If you are looking for a kind, respectable, and very talented photographer, Michael is definitely your guy!

With all of Sequoia National Parks natural beauty it has to offer, finding the right photographer/videographer can be daunting. We at Wuksachi Lodge in Sequoia National Park loved seeing Michael in action. He was able to effortlessly catch the magic of the moment, while keeping the natural feeling the happy couple wanted. I highly recommend Michael J Costa and look forward to working with him again!
