Mike and Danielle were responsive and really put our desires first, always asking if there were certain shots we wanted. Photos from the engagement shoot and the wedding/reception came out amazing. They were able to capture every moment possible.

Mike captured our wedding perfectly! We couldn’t be more pleased with his work and absolutely love the video/highlight reel he created! Mike was very accommodating to our needs, responded in a timely manner, and was patient with us throughout the process! We definitely would recommend him and will use him in the future when needed!

Mike and Danielle were AMAZING to work with! The pictures were beautiful and they were open to everything we wanted. They took their expertise and took my daughters wedding photos above and beyond anything we could've expected. When my next daughter gets married we will not look for anyone other than them to do the photos! 5 STARS all the way!!

These are the best people to work with.
Not only were they friendly and flexible, they were like family by the end of the night.
Mike and Danielle are the photographers you want to capture your special day.
They are more than willing to meet any request you may have.
My day was perfect because of them.

Wedding planning is very overwhelming and we were in way over our heads. Fortunately, our DJ referred us to 'A Photo Reflection'. Mike talked us through what he and his team could offer within hours of our first contact. We booked them for wedding day only (no separate sessions). Once the contract was signed, I worked with the primary photographer, Steve. He was very professional and has clearly had a lot of experience photographing weddings. We really enjoyed Steve's sense of humor and he definitely helped us make the right decisions along the way. He maximized the limited time we had. Even before we got our pictures back, we received many compliments from friends and family about our photographers (not something I expected them to comment on).

So our wedding day was great! We went on our honeymoon and shortly after we got back, Mike sent us a link to the online gallery. The photos were everything we could have hoped for. They were just as good as the samples - nah, better than the ones - he shared with us months ago. Rather than go on at length about the very positive experience we have had with Mike and his team, I'll just say that we were thoroughly impressed and will be happy to recommend them to anyone who asks. Given the opportunity, we would choose them again in a heartbeat.

Mike and Danielle were extremely professional in every way but felt like part of the family. They captured my daughters big day without feeling intrusive or pushy yet were there for every moment we wanted captured. All this would have been worth any price but they remained very affordable. The video of the day was beyond anything I could have imagined. Thank you so much!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
