Quality Work for Sandhu Engagement

We booked Michael last minute for the weekend after Thanksgiving and he was so responsive and accommodating! Our gallery came out perfectly. We loved and cherished each and every photo we received and had many family and friends praise them. We are completely obsessed with how our engagement photos turned out and we also received them in a timely manner. Michael is wonderful and professional! If you are looking for quality work, you’ve found your photographer. Thanks to Michael we cannot stop looking at our gallery! :)

The best photographer

We worked with Michael for our engagement photos. He did an amazing job telling our love story through his lens. He made us feel very comfortable in his presence. He had great eyes for details and also took into account our needs. We were very grateful for his professionalism, his craft, and who he is as a person. Would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer to tell your stories.

Best decision we made!!

Hiring Michael was the hands-down best decision we made for our wedding. Our photos are beyond anything we could have ever imagined - they are compositionally beautiful, stylistically editorial, natural, and emotive. Michael and his team were somehow able to shoot the most romantic portraits of me and my husband, while also capturing the fun, upbeat vibe of our reception. He can truly do it all. We feel so lucky that the memories from our day were captured by someone as talented of an artist as Michael.


We were initially drawn to Michael's style, the warm and editorial look of his real film photography being a rarity in today's digital world. After an initial consultation call in which he sought to truly understand our story and relationship, he accommodated our request to travel to Baltimore for our engagement shoot during the height of the Fall 2021 wedding season. When we were running a bit late to our engagement shoot, Michael began to shoot our venue and scoped out good spots for portraits. Despite his packed schedule, he worked with us throughout the months leading up to our wedding to determine a perfect timeline that would capture all the moments we hoped for. On the day of our wedding, he showed up with his team purposefully early just to be able to shoot our details and flat lays without feeling rushed. Throughout the day Michael was a true professional - he brought an incredibly calm presence to the process and was efficient in making sure we got all of our requested portraits and family portraits, despite having to travel to different venues to do so. He knew exactly how to pose us to make our photos look natural while keeping us comfortable. Though he had never shot at our wedding venue before, he immediately identified the most beautiful backdrops. Michael also was extremely respectful of our religious traditions and did an exceptional job capturing them throughout our day. Throughout the entirety of our wedding, he was present but exceptionally non-intrusive, staying until the very end of our reception. This and more is what led him to take the most stunning photos of our wedding from start to finish. We know we're biased, but we truly think they are the most beautiful wedding photos we've ever seen. We couldn't be happier.


Michael had an extremely difficult year in 2022, which he was always communicative about. Well in advance of our wedding day, he was upfront about the fact that his previous business partner would be unable to attend our wedding and made all the arrangements for an alternate second shooter so we had no worries going into the day of our wedding. Following the wedding he kept in close contact with us, sending us previews, and letting us know when we could expect our photos. Life happens, and we appreciated the candor with which Michael approached this difficult time for him. None of this had any influence on his ability to beautifully capture our day, and if anything led us to appreciate him and how hard he works even more than before.

We'd recommend Michael to anyone a million times over! Thank you for everything ❤️

Michael & Carina really know their craft. It shows in their professionalism and in their photos. They are low key and won't be right in everyone's face during your wedding. They are a true team, and are great to work as well.
