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!

Hiring Michael Chadwick was the best decision we made for our wedding day. We were married on December 29th 2016 in Avalon, NJ at the United Methodist Church. Our reception was held at The Reeds in Stone Harbor. Throughout the day, Michael was phenomenal and captured every detail perfectly with his beautiful pictures. He photographed many special moments without anyone realizing he was there. In addition to being highly skilled, Michael was the epitome of professionalism. His calm demeanor, easy going personality and humor made everyone feel comfortable and at ease throughout the day; especially with the younger members of our wedding party. Our guests loved him as well! It was also reassuring to know that he knew and had worked with our other vendors prior. Communicating with Michael was very easy throughout the entire wedding process; his website is well organized and user friendly. Michael was very responsive with answering all our questions and provided us with our photos shortly after the wedding. He is an all-around great guy, and it was obvious that he strived to make our day as meaningful to us as possible. Without a doubt, we highly recommend him. We look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks again Michael for the Talisker!

My husband and I both really love photography and are especially sentimental, so when it came to our wedding, finding the right photographer was a top priority. We wanted to find a person with the right combination of skill and personality to make our guests (and us) feel comfortable, allowing for tangible memories of that perfect day.
Well, we were thanking him before we even got the pictures. He was with our party from early in the morning well into the evening, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was attentive to every detail, and yet had an easy-going and relaxed approach that had our guests immediately asking us to see our pictures. We received our pictures promptly and Michael was always accessible and eager to help.
Michael went above and beyond in making our wedding an unbelievable and beautiful experience. As I was getting ready in the morning, happily anxious for the days events to unfold, I noticed my dress wasn’t as snug as it needed to be. Before I knew it, Michael had ran to CVS and purchased white close-pins. This illustrates how Michael works; he is the perfect blend of being a part of the wedding yet still able to take a step back to capture every detail.
We could go on and on about how wonderful Michael was to work with, his helpfulness throughout the entire process and the quality of the pictures we received. Michael was genuinely a rockstar and we would STRONGLY recommend him to everyone.
Thanks again Michael!
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!
