Fun and down to earth!

We loved working with them! They were fun, real, and flexible with all of the photos my family requested throughout the evening while still capturing some special candids as well!

Wonderful wedding photographers!!

Michael and Toni were fantastic to work with! Our pictures were fabulous! They were all the things you'd hope for – organized, professional, on time, great at getting the perfect shot – and are also wonderful human beings. They went out of their way to get us beautiful photos of our wedding. The have great packages to choose from, but were also so flexible in customizing things to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. I can't recommend them enough.

We ordered the 8 hour package, and we revived two photographers hustling all day. We were even able to trade in our engagement session for an additional hour. Highly recommended if you are looking for seasoned professionals with multiple types of cameras, years of experience at a cost that doesn't break the bank.

They are really great to work with, and hassle free. The pictures we got are great, they had extra time to take more pictures than the schedule, and they actually end up working extra time than what is on the contract. I would recommend to new couples.

We had an awesome time with Michael and Wendi during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day! They we very open to hearing what kinds of photo ideas we had and worked to make sure we got in all the shots on our "must have" list. Our March wedding day proved to be a very brisk day, but Michael and Wendi managed to coax us outside three separate times to make use of the beautiful natural light and scenery surrounding our venue. Had a photographer friend attending the wedding say she was impressed by how long they stayed to catch shots of the reception. Toni was also a pleasure to work with; planning our photo lists, handling all of our emails/questions and providing ideas and suggestions for our photo shoots. We greatly enjoyed working with all of them and will highly recommend Kay Michael Photography to other couples!

I would highly recommend Kay Michael Photo. I was married this past June, and they were responsive to our needs, and very professional throughout the process. The photos we received are wonderful, and their work is so good that we also used Kay Michael for my string quartet! Overall, the experience was great and so easy on our end. The only difficulty is selecting the photos we want printed because there are so many!
