About

I am a professional wedding photographer based in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina where I have lived now for the past twelve years. Wedding couples have valued the professionalism, experience, easy-going manner, work ethic, and creativity I bring to their weddings. I have photographed hundreds of weddings at such local venues as the historic Biltmore Estate, The Cliffs Communities, Grove Park Inn, and Homewood, to name a few. Asheville is a wonderful wedding destination and I feel so fortunate to call this home. I'll be happy to point you in the direction of some of its best wedding vendors and venues! But I have also been hired to travel and photograph weddings in such varied locations as New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, the Outer Banks of North Carolina and throughout the Southeast. It is awesome being a destination photographer living in a destination wedding city like Asheville…it’s the best of both worlds! And I'd love to photograph your wedding wherever that may be.

Please visit my website to see more samples of my work and my blog to see what is new at Michael Oppenheim Photography. I would welcome an opportunity to set up a consultation to learn more about your wedding and collaborate on designing a wedding package that provides the perfect blend of professional photos, albums and other media that will cherished by you and your families for years to come. Depending on the size and scope of your wedding weekend I can also provide additional associate photographers to help document your special day. No wedding is too big or too small!

I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers!

Michael

Wonderful photographer

Michael was fantastic at our wedding! He’s very easygoing, patient, and accommodating. We loved working with him. I was worried about only having one photographer for our wedding, but Michael was everywhere! He really did not miss a moment from our night. The pictures were fantastic and he really managed to capture the emotion, excitement and happiness we all were feeling that day. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer.

We loved Michael! He worked so hard through out the wedding I am not sure he sat down for a minute. All of my guests commented what a great photographer he was and how hard he was working. He was so unobtrusive when shooting us getting ready that we hardly new he was there yet the candid shots he got were amazing. The photos he took of the children at the wedding were precious. Normally my husband and I have a hard time finding pictures of the two of us together that we like and Michael gave us plenty. I would highly recommend him for as any event photographer.

Michael created the most amazing photos to remember our wedding! We love love love the pictures. He & the staff were really fun and laid back to work with - which helped us relax and enjoy the day instead of being worried over shoots, schedules, etc. We also had some assistants taking photos - their shots were fantastic as well. Michael was very flexible on the package that we wanted, adding products and shoots that we liked over others. Overall, incredible photography! Would recommend for anyone!

Michael was the photographer for my wedding in September, 2006. He was so fantastic to work with . . . professional, flexible, supportive, fun, and creative. The quality of his work was exceptional - and the cost was unmatched. We couldn't have found another photographyy with Michael's unique skill set, personality, and caliber for a lower price. If you're looking for a photographer, look no further. You just found him!
