If you want to look like a million bucks in your wedding pictures, look no further. Book with Michael!

Michael and Nancy were our dream photographers! They captured our happiest day- July 16, 2021- and they left nothing else to be desired! We had such a great time getting to know them throughout the day. We felt like they were a part of our wedding and actually enjoyed the day as much as we did! We became such good friends in one day and BAM, the day is over and we found ourselves missing them!! They were funny yet extremely professional and talented! Michael let me have all the shots I have ever wanted. Yet, in all of the shots, he made sure no one's face was blocked, no eyes blinked, no weird formation of the bridal party, etc. We had an odd number of bridesmaids vs. groomsmen and you won't be able to tell that immediately from our wedding pictures! He was that good!
Michael has an extremely quick turn around.... which I know may scare potential brides because maybe he didn't spend as much time editing as others, etc. Fear not! They are all beautifully edited. Two days after the wedding, we got sneak peeks of about 20 pictures. And 3 weeks after the weeding, the entire album! You will find yourself appreciating the speediness of the photo turnaround time. Trust me! There's nothing like reliving the biggest day of your life as soon as possible!!!!
Our package came with a personalized wedding album with 80 pictures of Michael's choice. We enjoyed this album very much because it is like a gift from Michael and it gives you a perspective of what Michael enjoyed the most about your wedding! And we can definitely tell that he appreciated and enjoyed our silliness and spontaneity very much! hahaha...

When I first started planning our wedding, i asked our wedding coordinator at the time: "If it were your wedding, who would you pick as the photographer?" and without hesitation, she said "Michael Gallitelli." My advice to you is the same: Go with Michael! Thank me later!

Working with Michael and his assistant Nancy was THE best decision we made for our wedding day. Every time one of my other vendors asked who my photographer was, the response was always the same, "great choice" and boy were they all right. Michael has an incredible eye and I found myself in awe watching his creative mind work to get us the best wedding day photos. Michael listened to my favorite shot ideas in our pre-wedding meetings and remembered to make sure we got the shots I wanted, not just the shots he thought were necessary. That's important, having a photographer that listens and understands your vision, not just their own. Not only were Michael and Nancy a calming presence at my wedding, but they were also a TON of fun while being professional. Some of my favorite memories of our wedding day are those spent having our photos taken with them. The final edited pictures that I have seen from Michael are absolutely breathtaking. Stunning to be exact and each one encompasses the feeling we had at the exact very moment the photo was taken. I don't write reviews unless I truly mean them and believe in the vendor I am reviewing, but trust me when I say Michael is THE guy you want to capture your wedding. Plus, you'd make a lifelong friend in the process.

Michael is the B-E-S-T!!! As most of you know, it is extremely important that the photographer you choose for your wedding/engagement photos is someone who makes you feel comfortable. My husband is on the shy side so finding a photographer he liked was a must! From the minute my husband and I met with Michael we knew we had to have him. His personality and his humor fit us perfectly! He is organized, professional and he knows how to capture the most amazing moments. Our engagement shoot was a blast, him and his assistant Nancy (who I absolutely loved) made us feel like we had known them for years, which allowed us to be ourselves and made our photos more natural. I thought to myself, how will he possibly be able to top these photos? My husband and I got married at The Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown on 10/6/17. Michael and Nancy arrived early to get familiar with the grounds and began shooting a full day of photos, which included us getting ready, the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and a full night of dancing! We recently received our photos from Michael and they are better than we ever could have imagined. We loved every single one of them! If you are looking for a great photographer, we highly recommend Michael and his assistant Nancy!!!!!!!

One of the best photographers around! Hands down my go to person for anything needing a professional photographer. He has an eye for capturing the small moments and making them big. Well worth the price. He is also up to date on the latest trends and technology to create memories that will last a lifetime. He will tailor your package to how you want it. Can't say enough about Michael.

After an exhaustive search for a photographer, which included contacting nine photographers and meeting with two, we knew from our first meeting that Michael is exactly who we wanted to capture our wedding. He is listed as a preferred vendor at every major venue in the Capital Region and if you look carefully, his work is displayed in the promotional materials for every venue, as well. He’s the perfect combination of easygoing, organized, and professional. He put us at ease throughout the day while keeping us on schedule and bringing out the best of us and our wedding party. I do not think of myself as photogenic and was worried about someone taking photos of me all day long, but Michael proved to be a true pro and we are absolutely thrilled with everything he captured. Not only that, but our families and our guests truly enjoyed Michael and Nancy and my father-in-law is already planning to hire him for the next family wedding.

Michael Gallitelli did a great job capturing all our most important moments on our wedding day. He helped organize the timeline for the day and made sure the many locations I wanted to have our pictures taken were all fit into the plan. Nancy who helped Michael on the actual wedding day was a pleasure to work with as well. I can't wait to see the entire album after seeing a sneak preview of a couple pictures the very next day. Thank you so much Michael!

Michael and his assistant, Nancy were with us the entire day of our wedding, and their services were the absolute best investment we could have made in our wedding. Our photos are professional, crisp, plentiful and most importantly- really captured the emotions and fun of the wedding day. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Choosing a photographer for your wedding can be a stressful task; this is someone who needs to capture the emotion of what may be the best day of your life. You need to be comfortable with this person, be able to laugh or cry in front of them, and most importantly be able to act natural in front of them. Choosing Michael Gallitelli was the best decision we could have made for our special day.
From the first phone conversation we had with him, we knew his personality and composure would be perfect for us. His light attitude, great sense of humor, and ability to capture shots without being pushy made our engagement shoot and wedding day a breeze. We didn’t want to have a photographer that would be forcing shots or interrupting the sequence of the night. Both Michael and his assistant Nancy made our shoots fun and visually stunning. The results were beautiful, creative, and couldn’t have asked for more.
It’s not every day; you can sit-back after your wedding day has come and gone, and think how much you want to have a photo session with your future children with the photographer who shot your wedding. That’s how much of an impression he will make on you and any event he shoots. Thank You Michael, Nancy, and MetroLandPhoto! –Chris and Corinne

Michael and his assistant Nancy were phenominal!!! Michael has a great sense of humor which helped keep us at ease on our wedding day! He was able to capture such raw emotion in our photos. Our wedding photos are absolutely unreal!!! And we got them in about two weeks which is a huge plus!!!! He gives you the rights to your pictures, which is also amazing. He was soooo wonderful to work with!! He really made my husband and I look great in the pictures, we'd recommend him to anyone!

Michael Gallitelli was absolutely the best photographer my husband and I could have asked for on our wedding day! He is professional, experienced, extremely talented at what he does, and has an incredible eye for creativity. On top of all that he has a great personality, a fun sense of humor, lots of patience, and the ability to keep everyone relaxed! For our engagement shoot, my fiancé and I were both a little uneasy at first but by the end of the session we were worry free and felt if as we had known Michael all our lives. Our wedding day was no different! Michael and his assistant Nancy were absolutely fabulous from the time they arrived at the hotel until the end of the reception. They showed up on time, kept things moving along at a perfect pace all while not ever making us ever feel rushed, imparted humor when needed to keep everyone happy and light-hearted, and captured all of the shots we wanted, from each of us getting ready on our wedding day, to our first touch, the beautiful ceremony at the Central Park Rose Garden, and the reception at Mallozzi’s. Michael was never overbearing, especially not at the reception, but was there at just the right times to capture special moments. All of our family and friends loved him as well – they said he was fun and easy to work with and made them all feel comfortable! Michael knew exactly what he was doing and we never had to worry about a thing. He placed us in so many creative and romantic poses, and made sure that if there were any poses or shots we wanted that those were captured as well. He also had pictures of our wedding posted on Facebook within 24 hours, and we received all our photos (over 2500!) less than two weeks after the wedding!! You can tell that Michael truly has a passion for what he does! We have received so many complements on our photos, and we could not be more happier with how everything turned out! My husband and I would strongly recommend Michael Gallitelli and we can’t thank him enough!!!!
