So grateful I hired Marcia and team!

I hired Marcia and her team to take pictures of our beach wedding. They were very professional and did such an amazing job of capturing our special day! They were personable and interacted well with the guests, everyone had a great time. She was available with whatever questions I had and had such great suggestions. You can tell she is a professional and loves what she does. I am so grateful that I hired her and would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting amazing pictures of their special day!

Excellence, Warmth, Flexibility, and Stunning Photos!

Marcia is the perfect photographer for your wedding! My husband and I were so happy we chose her and Michael to capture our special day. Marcia is very easy to work with, and has a warm energy that makes you feel at ease during the planning phase and during photoshoots. We wanted a lot of pictures with our guests, and she took the lead in getting everyone in formation and adjusting everyone's postures quickly to produce the best photos in the least amount of time. Her pictures are absolutely stunning, and she is very talented at utilizing natural light and selecting the best spots and backgrounds to bring out your natural beauty and the beauty of your surroundings. She is also flexible and meets with you multiple times to make sure everything runs smoothly on your big day and that you get all the shots and poses you're looking for. Marcia has a quick turnaround, so you'll also receive your pictures in no time after your wedding. I would highly recommend Marcia (and Michael) as your wedding photographer!

Book them now! Seriously, Marcia is the sweetest and so helpful. Very detail oriented. She's not just an amazing photographer. She made my timeline, referred me to other vendors. We met several times and she took our engagement photos too, as practice. Michael and my husband for along great too. Non invasive at the wedding also, if that's what you want. Efficient. Gorgeous sunset photos

Marcia & Michael are amazing! I highly recommend them! They are truly wonderful people and even better photographers. Marcia helped me with so much more than just taking photos for our engagement and our fabulous wedding day, which was a huge project in itself. From making sure the schedule was made for the big day to accommodating us with our large wedding party of 27 (including myself and my husband) Marcia did whatever she could to make it all happen! Plus, we got all of our pictures after the wedding within about a month! Thank you for our gorgeous wedding pictures, its the best gift to have these to look back on forever!

If you're searching for a photographer, no need to search any further. You will not be disappointed with Marcia and her husband. She is so easy to work with and fun. She goes out of her way to relieve stress off your shoulders for your perfect day and the results at the end are a lot of wonderful pictures between the two of them. :) By the way, our daughter's wedding was at the Madonna Inn, which is a beautiful venue.

I would highly recommend Marcia & Michael for your wedding photographers. They were the photographers for my daughters wedding. They did an outstanding job! After all the time you spend planning your wedding day, when it's all over.. The only thing you have left are your wedding pictures. You want someone who will easily work with you, listen to your ideas, blend in to your wedding day and capture all the wonderful moments! Marcia not only takes the typical pictures you would expect, but also gets many candid pictures of the bride & groom, family and friends that help recreate your day through the pictures, that you can look back on. She also discusses ahead of time, cost and what to expect, so there are no surprises. It's difficult finding and picking all your vendors. I wouldn't look any further than Marcia & Michael for your photography needs, you will be so glad you did!,

Marcia is absolutely wonderful! We met several times before the big day to go over the timeline and a list of the shots we wanted. The day of, her and Michael showed up on schedule and took charge right away. I loved the way they were on top of everything and took amazing photos throughout the entire day. We have every family member and friend that attended our wedding. I honestly cannot imagine having anyone else take our wedding photos. They came out better than I ever thought possible. If you need true professionals that take amazing photos that will blow you away, then Marcia and Michael are your people.

I'm sooo happy we chose Marcia & Michael. They were great! My husband is in the military so our schedule wasn't always 100% but Marcia worked around it. She's great. She makes you feel super comfortable during the shoots! She's very organized and keeps you on time! Our photos are amazing. If we ever need another photo shoot I would definitely pick them again! She was very flexible with the package I wanted and she made sure to get every shot I wanted. They were amazing! You can't go wrong with them :)

Marcia and Michael are wonderful! They did a fabulous job of photographing our wedding day - Marcia spent the early part of the day with me and my bridesmaids while Michael photographed my husband, the groomsmen, and his family before the ceremony. Once the ceremony started, they were both there working incredibly hard to get all the perfect shots of our ceremony, our families, and our reception. Marcia made sure that the planning process was smooth and stress free, and met with me and my mom several times over the months leading up to the wedding to make sure that the wedding day schedule was perfect. She is so sweet, funny, and genuinely caring. We got to know her well and had a blast with her every time. We will absolutely be hiring Marcia and Michael to photograph other big events in our lives.

Marcia and Michael are terrific to work with and true professionals. From the beautiful engagement photos to the extraordinary work they did on our daughter Gillian's wedding day, they exceeded all of our expectations. Marcia's attention to detail and help planning the timeline for that day were invaluable! We can't wait to see all of the lovely photos we know they have for us!

We searched extensively for a photographer to handle our small wedding in Paso Robles. Most were priced for large all day events and many of them claimed ownership of the photos and charged separately for providing access to them after the wedding (essentially forcing you to pay twice). Marcia provided the smaller package that we needed and gave us full ownership of all photos. She also went the extra mile of meeting us at the wedding site in advance of the big day to confirm the desired photo portfolio and itinerary. In spite of the harsh midsummer lighting, she managed to capture some really nice shots throughout the ceremony. She was patient, but very disciplined about marshalling the guests through the desired group photo layouts so that we had enough time left for our romantic shots in the vineyard after the ceremony. We’re very happy with the process and results and highly recommend her.

Marcia and Michael were amazing! They were easy going, yet very professional. We live in Fresno, CA and had to meet a few times in Pismo. Marcia took time out of her busy schedule and worked around our crazy schedules to meet with us. We highly reccommend Marcia and Michael! Great people, fun memories and AMAZING pictures! We absolutely adored them!

Marcia and Michael were wonderful. They always returned phone calls or emails promptly. Marcia went out of her way to meet several times with me to discuss wedding day details and create our albums together. She really wants you to be happy with their work and prices. She worked with our budget and what we wanted in a wedding package. Having two photographers and her assistant, that we weren't expecting, made our day extra special.We have so many great pictures it has been a challenge creating our wedding album.

Marcia and Michael were both incredible. They worked to get us exactly what we wanted, we had several sit down meetings before the event to discuss our needs and schedules. Before the wedding day we knew exactly what was going to be happening.

They do a wonderful thing where Marcia goes with the bride, and Michael with the groom during all of the wedding preparations. There were wonderful pictures of both of us getting ready with our families and bridesmaids/groomsmen.

At the wedding itself the formal pictures were beautiful, and even got done fairly quickly. They were very professional and full of great ideas, poses and knew exactly what we were looking for. During the reception we ended up with excellent candid shots of everything, beautiful pictures of the dinner as well as all the dancing and guests.

I would highly recommend Marcia and Michael for any event! They know exactly what they are doing and made some excellent memories of our wedding for us.

Marcia and Michael were fantastic! They worked with us through the entire process, providing us with so much insight and captured our daughter's special day from the engagement through the wedding. We love looking through all the wedding pictures, captured from two photographers (rather than just one) and loved seeing so many memories that could have been missed. Their perspectives are unique, and provide a picture with "flair". They also made all members of the family comfortable - we highly recommend their services, and would definitely have them as our first choice!

We got married!!! And we could not have done it without Marcia & Michael. Planning a wedding is such an exciting, stressful & emotional experience and my husband and I were so grateful to have chosen such wonderful photographers to help guide us through the process and capture our most important day. We wanted everything to go off without a hitch and that meant carefully choreographing the entire day -from getting ready in the morning to the last dance. Marcia was instrumental in helping us create a timeline. She made sure we had a good flow and enough time in-between events to never feel rushed. I think I would have lost my mind if it wasn't for their organization! I grew up on the Central Coast but got married up North and we were thrilled to learn that they would travel to shoot our wedding. The day was such a whirlwind and it put me at ease knowing I had the two of them facilitating our wishes. One of the reasons we chose Marcia and Michael was the awesome bonus of having two photographers. Marcia spent the morning with me while I got ready while Michael shot the guys getting ready. It was perfect! Throughout the day, they both shot from different angles giving us countless images to choose from. They captured every special moment from dawn to nightfall and were so incredibly fast putting all of the images online for us and our families to see. We had so much fun going through each photo remembering the sweet & funny moments that we will forever cherish. Because it was such an emotional & exciting experience we have become very close with them and consider them dear friends. I love working with people that love what they do and it is clear that for both of them, photography is a joy and passion. Ultimately, our experience with them was warm, professional & incredibly valuable. We will use Marcia and Michael for all our photography needs as our family grows and recommend them with the highest regard.

Marcia and Michael are two of the most wonderful people we have have met on the central coast.

Marcia and Michael are, in my oppinion the greatest wedding photographers in the county. They include the engagement photo session and her pre-wedding appointments to gather all the information so the wedding day goes smooth is exceptional. She keeps the the events of the day flowing as you have layed out and capture all the special shots that you have asked them for and more. And one of the most important thing is they are very timely in getting the photos to you, knowing you are anxiously waiting! My daughter that just got married changed her wedding date to be able to have them as her photographers! I just can't say enough about them!

They way past our expectations!!!!

I was an out of town bride, trying desperately to find vendors in the area of our wedding. I talked with a few photographers, but once I talked to Marcia over the phone, I just got a feeling that she was the one!! I got off the phone feeling like I had known her forever!!! We met in November for our engagement shoot and we had so much fun!! Marcia is a hoot and made us feel very comfortable while taking our pictures. All of our pictures came out so natural and they were amazing!!! Our family and friends were in awe of all of our engagement photos. We met with Marcia again in the spring to discuss the wedding schedule and pics and then she was there with me during my entire wedding day. Marcia was not only my photographer that day, but my go to gal!! She got me champagne, water, and snacks!! She calmed my nerves as the moment got closer and made the day so much easier. She seemed just as excited about the day as we were. I just saw the proofs from the day and the pictures are absolutely amazing. Marcia and Michael captured all of the little details and all of the big ones too. Each picture is super natural and they captured all of the magical moments that filled our magical day!!! Marcia and Michael do amazing work and are very easy to work with. They were part of the family by the end of the night!! I can't thank them enough! Although, we are not locals, I will make the 4 hour drive to use them again and again for all of my special occasions!!!

Marcia and Michael photographed my engagement and wedding and I couldn't be happier with their service. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, and now, three years after our wedding, I am still just as pleased with them as I was right after our wedding. The quality of the pictures and the artistic vision of Marcia and Michael is superb. They were also very open and responsive to my vision and style and incorporated that into their pictures. Along with their outstanding performance, I was also just as pleased with their professionalism. They were very well organized and Marcia went beyond my expectations to provide support to me among all of the chaos of the wedding day. It was obvious they were well seasoned in their profession and exceptional with their service. It was very important to me to have beautiful photos to capture our wedding day because after it is all over, the photos are what will last and Marcia and Michael did not disappoint.

We were so very pleased with the photography services of Marcia & Michael! They were amazing in their attention to detail, their friendliness and creativity. They felt like part of the family! We loved having them with us to capture our wedding ceremony and dinner. The experience from beginning to end was always positive, and they did everything they said they would do. They were able to provide us with a package that was very suitable for our unique needs, and we felt it was worth every penny and more! The real proof came after the wedding when we were able to see the quality of the photography and we are overwhelmed with the outcome! I can't imagine having anyone else photograph a special event. They are truly exceptional!!

My daughter used Marcia and Michael for their wedding photos. They were amazing!!! Not only do we have stunning photos, but Marcia and Michael did an extra photo shoot for them since it rained on their wedding day and options for photos after the ceremony were limited. They were a joy to work with, made us all feel at ease and were able to adapt when it started to rain.

I couldn't be happier with the job they did on our wedding day, & Trash the dress & engagment pictures !! Not only were they professional they were fun and made us feel soo comfortable! Picking a photographer was one of the number one things on my list! Pictures are very important to me since they last a lifetime. & Right as I met Marcia she had me sold in 2 seconds! The work that they do and the poses are just amazing! & There open to all your ideas! Marcia actually loved when we were coming up with are own! When you meet them you feel like you known them forever they are soo friendly and fun! On the day of the wedding Marcia had my back! I was soo stressed and she calmed me down and anything I needed she was there to help with! That was an extra bonus!! :) I will def come back when my husband & I want more pictures or family pictures whatever has to do with photography I will be back to them for sure!! Words can't even express how happy we are with are pictures!! Thank you soo much Marcia & Michael!

love,
The Sutherlands!* Derrick & Amanda :)

These two get a gold star all the way! I am not surprised by there high ratings. They were professional, flexible with dates (especially since I was coming in from out of town) and a great price for the suburb quailty of work. My husband hates taking pictures and yet they even made him feel comfortable! I would recommend them to anyone.
I also want to add that the album they made us was truly amazing. Its been two years since our wedding and I finally narrowed the 1200 pictures to my favorite 100. I told Marcia just to run with it since I knew I would love it. Our album just came in the mail last week and I was in tears looking through it with my husband. It is perfect!
I also loved working with Marcia, not only is her photography great but she is a caring and fun going person. When I would be all stressed out she would come in with a calm demenour, and when I would feel kinda down she had this upbeat, crazy personality that reminded me how special and amazing this event was.
I can say with no reservation that there is not one thing I would change about her or her work. Which is why I gave her 5 stars, and why I had to come on here and give her a great review, she truly deserves it!

There is so much I could say about Marcia and Michael but words won't even do justice to how happy we were with them as our photographers and with the photo's that we have to remember forever. They are dedicated to every aspect of your wedding day, not just to the photo's and Marcia will make sure that things run smoothly. The most important thing for us was that we had beautiful photo's to always look back on, and we were blown away with the images that Marcia and Michael captured. The joy, emotion, and fun that we had on that day is forever captured in the pictures we have to go back and look at. To cap off an amazing wedding weekend we ended with Trash the Dress pictures, nothing is more enjoyable that taking Marcia and Michael to a secluded beach and taking beautiful pictures to have forever. Their prices are extremely reasonable and being able to have a disc of all our wedding day images in invaluable. Marcia and Michael are seriously amazing people and professionals and they went above and beyond what we expected in every way! I would recommend Marcia and Michael to anyone I knew.

I was refered to Michael and Marcia by a longtime friend, who said "no matter who we met with we HAD to meet with them because we would love them and their work"....and we did! We hired them for our Wedding and engagement photos and using them was the best decision we made for our wedding! Our photos were amazing, and tons to choose from including every shot we had asked for and more.They didnt miss a thing! They were so fun to work with, as well as profesional, hard working and caring. They really made the day special for me. They also designed my album which is breathtaking. Anywho who uses them will be beyond lucky! Thank you Michael and Marcia, you're the best!!!!!

Although it's been a few years since my wedding I still recommend Marcia and Michael to everyone I know when they are planning a wedding! My photos captured the day perfectly and Marcia and Michael were a blast to work with! My cousin is getting married this weekend and having her photography done by Marcia and Michael and I can't wait to see them again.

They were very thorough in advance of my wedding to make sure they knew what specific photos I wanted. In terms of candids, they captured many things I didn't even know took place until I got my photos back! It was great having two professionals there to beautifully capture everything that took place.

Marcia and Michael did such an amazing job with our wedding. They really captivated the events that we wanted. There was not a dull moment and i really loved how they work with you and help you along the way to make sure everything is the way you want it and the books they design are absolutely to die for. They do wonderfull work and are true artists. Wish i could get married again and have them take more pictures. Thanks so much for everything Marcia and Michael.

Marcia and Michael were so great! From the time that I was shopping around for a photographer, to the time we received our wedding album, I was so pleased. We have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful our photos and album turned out. The day of our wedding they were so attentive to everyone. We have a very large family and I was worried how they would keep everything on schedule, but Marcia and Michael did it very well. They kept everyone on task without being bossy or overbearing. This is not an easy feet with my family!! For our wedding album, I gave total autonomy to Marcia to create something beautiful because I have such a busy schedule and she delivered! Our album is so classy! They were worth every penny to have such wonderful memories. I will be going back to them for business in the future. You won't meet more down to earth and genuine people. Thanks again Marcia and Michael for creating such great memories with us. We will never forget you and will continue to give you our business.

It was such a joyous experience working with Marcia and Michael. They were so organized and on top of things that it made my day worry free. My Husband and I live two hours away from where we got married and Marcia took that into consideration when planning meetings and our engagement session. They were so professional, and it helped out tremendously that they knew the other vendors we hired for the wedding. While taking the pictures, they were very polite and always complimenting how great and beautiful everyone looked. Marcia even bustled my dress for me :) I can honestly saw that the money was well spent. The photos turned out amazing and our wedding album was here in two days.....We were so pleased with the whole experience. Our family and friends thought very highly of them as well and all said what a beautiful and excellent job they did. I was very thankful we got to share our wedding day with Marcia and Michael.

Marcia and Michael are a joy to work with. Not only do they dedicate themselves to making your wedding the most beautiful and memorable day of your life, but despite how busy they can be, they make you feel that you are their only client and priority. Also they do not judge based upon the size of your wedding. Unlike many photographers we interviewed, Marcia and Michael treated us as if we were the most important people and really sold themselves to us.

They are very personable, friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at ease. They can make even the most difficult person smile for their camera.

When viewing the pictures, it is amazing how many details are captured. Many subtleties are revealed that you would not notice otherwise.

What else can we say but that we have no regrets hiring Marcia and Michael as our photographers. We would recommend them to anyone who want to capture each moment of their day and cherish it for the rest of their lives.

Marcia and Michael are absolutely the BEST photographers we know!!! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, and they took the most amazing photos of our special day. It was a fun, and festive day for us, but as many brides know, things can get stessful. Marcia and Michael, made us and our guests feel comfortable. They are not "in your face" photographers...they capture the special moments of your wedding day through picture perfect photos. Having two photographers really makes a big difference also. Michael is great at the candid shots, and Marcia has an amazing talent in taking traditional photos. Since our wedding, almost 2 years ago, Marcia and Michael have become our close personal friends. They truely are great people, and GREAT photographers. They now also take our family pictures too. No matter what the occasion, Michael and Marcia are the right photographers for the job.

What a find! I was recommended these photographers by the hotel where I had booked my reception and as most brides the photography was one of the most important choices and was going to be very careful on my choice. From our first meeting I felt totally at ease and was so taken at both the friendliness and professional way that Marcia and michael conducted business. There was no pushiness and they listened to me and did not at any point try and tell me what I had to do. They listened to my requests and guided me through what they offered. They showed me the past work that they did and gave me some great ideas that I could never have thought of. We had a few more meeting and they took me round the venue and down to the beach where we would have our photos taken which made me feel that was a huge weight of my shoulders when it came to things not to worry about for our big day.

Marcia came to the rehearsal which was a great help and again guided us through what we would be doing.

The Big day ! I am from Britain and got the devastating news that my Mother would not be there due to a sudden illness and I was all over the place when Marcia arrived and she totally calmed me down, we managed to speak to my mother on the phone and Marcia even spoke to her and assured her everything was okay. With Marcias upbeat personality the day began and she took photos of me getting ready and Michael took my husband and guests to get photographed. They were by our side for the whole day and orgainized everone perfectly, we did not have a thing to worry about, and their ideas were both different and amazing. After the wedding I had to fly back to Britain to be with my mother and Marcia and Michael came up trumps again, they rushed the beautiful photographs on to discs and even met me at the airport in SLO to make sure that I had the photos to show my mum. I got back home and went straight to mum who was in the hospital and we looked at the photos together over and over again!

My mother passed away a couple of weeks later but I hold deep in my heart the extra effort made by Marcia and Michael to make sure my mother saw the photographs.

I cannot recommend them highly enough, the professionalism and compassion of Marcia and Michael is beyond anything and the quality of photographs is just amazing and there is not any of the photographs that do not make us smile and remember our wedding day with pride.

Thank you Marcia and Michael
you are both amazing.

Our photos came out so beautiful. We were very pleased as well as our family. We had engagement photos done as well which also came out wonderful. She has so much energy and fun personality, she made it great and not stressful. Even the dreaded family photos were fun. I am so glad I booked them way in advance! Our photos on the CD"s came out really fancy covers etc. Fast turn around when ordering the prints. She has an eye for great shots. Responded to phone calls and emails promptly. WE LOVE YOU MARCIA!!!! I didn't get to spend much time with Michael as he did my husband and best man shots but those came out great as well.

Marcia and Michael were amazing the day of my wedding-- so much more than just photographers. Michael took the groomsmen photos and Marcia took the bridesmaid photos simultaneously so that we could save time. Marcia was always helping me with my dress, carrying my sunglasses, keeping us on schedule, and making sure every detail was perfect. I think Marcia did more for me than the wedding coordinator that our venue provided! They had written down the names of my relatives so they would say, "Grandpa Troy, come right over here and hold Colleen's hand." They were a hit with everyone and the pictures were wonderful! They gave us 2 high resolution DVDs that my mom bogarted for months to show all her friends. I could not have asked for anything more-- they exceeded all my expectations and my mom was raving about how professional and warm they were. Marcia and Michael are a perfect team and I highly recommend them!

These photographers were amazing, and their photos are phenomenal. I am not one to take photos, but they made taking photos fun and easy. They have such high standards for their quality of work ,and it really shows when you get your photos. I really like how they are a team and one photographer takes still photos and the other one takes candid photos. It made our wedding pictures have a "real" feeling to them. I would definitely recommend them to someone looking to have beautiful pictures for their wedding!!!!

Marcia and Michael were so wonderful to work with. Starting with the engagement pictures on the beach to our last dance Marcia and Michael clearly captured our happiness and commitment to each other. Being an older bride and second time around we both wanted professsional photographers who would capture the moment with candids of friends and of course the fun of the reception not just the bride and groom!! We had an awesome live band and the pictures told it all! Marcia was so easy to work with and we won't hesitate to call them again for future family events! You won't have any regrets with hiring Marcia and Michael for one of the most special days of your lifetime...

Marcia and Michael have awesome attitudes that automatically make you feel comfortable. My fiance and I are a shy couple and were super tense when first meeting Marcia for our engagement and she made us feel so comfortable that the pictures turned out more than amazing. Besides their fun personalities, they have the #1 best package price I have seen on the Central Coast. I shopped around for awhile and their package was the best deal for my money. Marcia and Michael are flexible and creative, and they are always open for any of your photo ideas. Their pictures are sharp and clear, showing every detail which we also loved.

We used Marcia and Michael for our wedding and were so pleased! They were an extremely fun team to work with and added to the fun of our big day.
Their level of professionalism and organization was top notch, and was combined with enthusiasm and genuine interest in the people and happenings in front of the lens. They meticulously mapped out and memorized our entire family tree (over breakfast- their treat!) before the wedding so that everything was fluid and nothing we wanted was left out. They even contributed some great ideas to the overall planning of our event.
It was plain to see that they enjoy what they do. Choosing Marcia and Michael was a great decision, not only did they document our memories beautifully, they really enhanced the whole experience of the day.

Amazing job with the photography. I hardly remember them being there for the entire ceremony and reception. They took 1100 photo during the ceremony and reception. Try narrowing that down to 60-75 for the wedding album they created. They did an Engagement shoot at the location we chose. Their pricing was right in the middle of everybody. They also give you full resolution photos on a cd (or 2 in our case) at no extra charge. Very important if you want to print some of your own later. We felt comfortable with them immediately upon meeting them. Couldnt have asked for any better.

Marcia and Michael took our engagement and wedding photos this year. They are incredibly personable and really to get to know you and what you want so they can be sure to take the photos you are looking for. They had such great ideas, in addition to being very receptive to ours, and because of that we have beautiful photos that will last us a lifetime. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else looking for more than just a photographer!
