Recently Michael unexpectedly found himself with the request of capturing an engagement happening right in front of him. The groom, in from out of town, unsure of his plans until minutes before he asked the big question, had not planned photography. As their only friend present, I was overjoyed with gratitude when I approached Michael for his help. Camera in hand, having just completed a session with another delightful couple, agreed to take five minutes to capture the scene for our friends. His immediate response was the true testament of his passion to capture the emotion of a moment. Knowing this, I can assure you this quality is of highest importance when choosing a wedding and event photographer. Michael is an absolute delight!

Mike and his assistant, Liz, were amazing to work with! We found Mike through our venue's recommendations and are so happy he was on the list.

We figured we would use someone who has shot at our venue and in the area before. Originally, we were just hiring him for our wedding; however, about two months before, we decided to do an engagement shoot with him so we could meet him in person and see how we all worked together. It was a great fit! My fiancé and I were able to work out some of the awkward feelings before the big day as Mike made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

Fast forward to our wedding, mid-November in Portsmouth, NH. He got us our preview photos in less than 48 hours and there were hundreds of photos to look it. The rest of our photos took about 7 weeks, and I cannot stop looking at them and love reliving the day.

Mike is professional and fun to work with. He really knows how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He captured some amazing shots of not just us, but our families, wedding party, and so much more! I would recommend Mike and his team over and over again!

Working with Mike was a joy! He was professional, fun and knew his stuff. He made my husband and I feel completely at ease on our wedding day - it made pictures more fun and the time flew by! His assistant, Liz, was also great! They are a great choice when considering a wedding photographer!

Where do I even start - from the first minute we spoke to Michael on the phone we knew he would be the one to help us capture all of our special memories on our big day. He did that and more, he helped talk us through wedding details, what to expect and what to prepare for.

Michael came down to Boston to do an amazing and jaw dropping engagement photoshoot, then jump forward to the preparation - Michael spent the time to chat with us and make us feel more than comfortable during such a stressful time.

Day of, now that's where we saw the best of Michael (And his assistant!). They took command of the groups, making sure everyone was everywhere they needed to be (our groups were a little scatterbrained). Michael was so professional and got all of our photos done BEFORE THE CEREMONY. Which means we got to enjoy a photo-less reception and actually be at our cocktail hour.

Michael Cirelli is the best photographer in the NH area, we recommend him to anyone who is looking to have A+ level service and photos at their wedding.

Thank you,

Mike is a truly amazing photographer! 2020 has been such a challenging year, but he made our wedding day a dream come true! We had so much from from the engagement session all the way through the wedding reception working with him. Not only is he incredibly organized and talented, but we could tell how important it was for him to get to know us as a couple to capture our day! My husband and I highly value a sense of humor and having fun, and he was right there with us! I can’t say enough great things about Mike, and we definitely think that choosing him as a photographer was one the best decisions we made! 📸 👰‍♀️ 🤵‍♂️

Mike is incredible - he did our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and August 2020 wedding. To say we love him and his work would be an understatement. Mike went above and beyond on our engagement shoot - he hiked Mt. Major with all his gear and took the most stunning pictures at the summit. While wedding planning amidst the pandemic Mike was compassionate, upbeat, responsive, and easy to work with.

Our family and friends also fell in love with him and his assistant Lizzy. They made our wedding day so easy. They are true professionals and clearly love what they do. The pictures are AMAZING and there are so many beautiful shots. Within 3 days of our wedding he had 50 photos to us as a sneak peak! I cannot recommend Mike enough!

Choosing Michael Cirelli Photography for our wedding photos was the BEST decision we made. Mike and his assistant were friendly, easy to work with and best of all - the photos are spectacular!! I cannot say enough amazing things! Thank you for capturing our special day!

Mike and his assistant were so perfect to work with on our wedding day. We got compliments from the venue and other vendors about how professional and fun their services were. The pictures have all come out amazing so far, and we are so happy with the services provided. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Michael and Zack were awesome! They got all the shots we wanted and plus some. We had a first look at our house with all our animals and then went to the ceremony site. Michael and Zack were more than happy to shoot at both locations. All of the photos were beautiful!!! I ended up getting over 1,000 photos back and they were all fantastic. Michael and Zack were both friendly and personable. They made my husband and I feel comfortable being the center of attention, which neither of us like. Highly recommended, 5+ stars!

We hired Michael for our engagement photos as well as our wedding. Every photo was amazing and we have lots! Michael was awesome to have as a photographer, he and his assistant were professional and creative.
