About

Im Mike, I photograph weddings and colorful people in Memphis and around the Mid-South. Our approach to your wedding day is to sit back and let your story unfold all on its own, while we capture moments like a fly on the wall. We also take some time with the bride and groom to create amazing images where we mix in some directing while still allowing real emotion. We want to provide a unique experience from the first time we meet until well after your wedding day. We want you to look at us more like a friend shooting your wedding than just a hired vendor, which will allow you to have fun and feel relaxed with us having our cameras out. There are parts of the wedding day where we will be right by your side calming your nerves or just having a laugh, and other times where you won’t even know we are there capturing moments from the shadows. When the day is over and you feel like it went by in the blink of an eye, we will be giving you a wedding gallery that will blow your mind where you will be able to re-live every moment all over again. We love what we do and we are forever grateful to all of our couples for allowing us to tell their stories and be a part of their days!

Mike was amazing! After meeting with him one time, we knew we found our photographer! He was extremely professional and we absolutely love our wedding photos. Also, he is great with kids! Our niece (one year old) was not having a good day and he was able to make her laugh during all of our pictures!

AMAZINGGGGGGG! This photograph is the BEST of the BEST. I will never use another photographer after working with Mike. He is so personable and makes you comfortable! He works with you and truly has a gift at capturing the best of you. I HIGHLY recommend him! My engagement, bridal, and wedding pictures turned out better than I could have dreamed of!

Everything about Michael was FANTASTIC!!! I was referred to him by a mutual friend and compared to others I had met with he was just so laid back and made me feel at ease. He made our Engagement session so much fun and casual. He was super flexible and is willing to work with you on anything. No idea is every to crazy for him, he LOVES different and unique. We did ours at our High School where we met and it was so much fun. He made me feel as if I was his only client and was always quick with his responses and willing to meet me anywhere. On my wedding day, he was not only my photographer, but felt like another friend there. He made sure I was relaxed and enjoying the day as much as possible. He even made me a drink to calm the nerves a little. I'm glad I went with someone who I got along with and was so laid back, but also very professional at the same. He was the boss for me and kept my bridal party in line so we could get the photos done easily and quickly. Thank you Michael!!!!!! You are the best and you will be our family photographer as well :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Michael is absolutely amazing! I contacted quite a few different photographers in the area and he was the most professional and responsive photographer to respond. He worked with me even though I had some weird dates and requests, not to mention a very large and bossy family (hahaha sorry again Michael). He captured our personalities in every single picture and I can't even begin to explain the emotions I felt when I looking through them all after the were quickly delivered to us. Words can't express how awesome it was to work with him!

My husaband and I met mike almost a year ago. He did our engagement photos and then our wedding photos. We had only 5 months to plan our wedding so we were not the easiest couple to deal with! He constantly was checking on us, offering us his help, and sending us encouragement along the way! We have a huge family and he accommodated for all of our crazy photo demands and he laughed along with us. He was super quick to deliver amazing photos after the engagement and wedding! We thoroughly enjoyed having mike capture our journey and most importantly he was a fun guest and friend to have beside us as well! We will 100% use mike again in our future. He truly is passionate about what he does and has a heart for capturing perfect moments for others.

We used Mike to photograph our wedding. The pictures came out gorgeous! He was very professional throughout our entire day, ensuring he captured shots that were important to us. He spent time prior to our wedding getting to know what we liked; our preferences and style. He also suggested some poses and photos I had not thought of and I am glad we let him be creative, some of my favorite photos are ones I had not thought of that Mike suggested. During the wedding, he was everywhere, capturing each sweet moment. He did not miss anything! We always get so many compliments on our wedding pictures. We are so pleased with how they turned out and the work Mike did to capture our special day. Would recommend to anyone who is getting married and in need of a photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
