Best part of the wedding

Mike is AMAZING. Not only is he an amazing photographer but he is an amazing person. From day one he helped my husband and I with ideas for engagement photo and wedding photos. He got us in contact with vendors if we needed them. He was so laid back and helpful and really took the stress off us on the wedding day. Everyone loved him at the reception and our photos turned out amazing. He also got our engagement and wedding photos back to us so fast. Also we meet with us after the wedding to help us design our album and to help us order print. My husband and I will always hire Mike todo our photos from here on out.

Beyond what we could have ever imagined!

We couldn’t have been happier than what mike provided for us! We kept changing our ideas for engagement photos as we had a long engagement. We emailed and set up a date and time that worked for all of us. He was very flexible with working with us and having it go from engagement to including my son in on the pictures. Then came the wedding day. I had no idea what kind of pictures I wanted but mike was there to help with ideas and came out early to take pictures of the guys and the women before the wedding. During the ceremony I didn’t even notice he was there and got the pictures he did! Then during the reception he was able to take pictures of all the decorations, which I never thought of, as well as some of the guest and plenty of pictures of us and our family. He even double checked before taking off that we were satisfied with everything and asked if we had any other pictures that we wanted him to take. We are truly happy that we chose mike to work with! Our pictures turned out AMAZING!! Thank you mike so much for making our special day so amazing and making sure we had amazing pictures to look at to remember everything about our day!

I would definitely recommend Forward Exposure. We own a wedding venue and they were here to photograph a wedding. Very professional and very easy to work with. Our venue is new so not only did they do a great job photographing the wedding they also took some beautiful photos of our venue and shared them with us. Wonderful people to work with! 5* for sure.
