About

The Experience

In shooting weddings, we look to capture each couple as they truly are. We laugh, we cry, and become part of your day. We understand the modern couple's needs and cater to that from day one, minute one.

From start to finish, we capture the exact moments that tell the story of your special day. I do not classify myself as Traditional or Photojournalist. I shoot what is right for that moment and what is right for a particular bride or groom. We look to capture it in a way that describes both the bride and the groom's personalities and the love you share with each other.

Wedding and portrait photography have not only given me a creative outlet but also an emotional one. I absolutely love every minute of the wedding day. Being around a group of people enjoying one of the most important days in their lives is truly priceless. I build friendships and bonds with every couple that allows us to become part of their day. We become not just a vendor taking pictures, but a friend who wants to capture every emotion from getting ready through the last dance. We are not just documenting the day, but truly capturing all the love, feelings, emotions, and memories.

Our value is also in how absolutely easy we will make the process of capturing your day. You will never feel overwhelmed with the process of taking pictures. Much of our energy is focused on keeping it fun, laughing, no stress, keeping things moving and getting you back to your family and friends as soon as possible.

I will be with you from getting ready through the last dance. No time limits on any packages!

So happy with our pictures and experience!

Best Photographer!

Mike was so personable and accommodating. His packages are great and reasonably priced. He is very good with time management in regards to getting all the family and bridal party photos within a timely manner so you can enjoy your cocktail hour. I love his motto of not having a time limit. He was there from beginning to end and took the absolute best pictures. My guests that have attended other weddings said they had never seen a photographer be so involved and take so many pictures. He even stood on a stool to take the best picture of the group! He really goes above and beyond. I also got my pictures quicker than I had thought which was awesome. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone that is planning a wedding!

Above and Beyond

One of my wedding guests said “wow you’re photographer goes above and beyond” and I completely agree. Michael and his second photographer Ryan captured every detail of our wedding. Michael made us feel comfortable, and confident while taking pictures and we were truly blown away with the high quality beautiful shots he took. It was extremely difficult for my husband and I to pick a favorite because we have so many incredible posed and candid photos. Thank you Michael for giving us photos we will cherish our whole life.

Incredible

Michael was an absolute dream to work with. He took the most incredible photos of us and was so fun to work with. He made our engagement and wedding day shoots feel natural. He kept us on schedule the day of and caught all of the little details. He was flexible and so incredibly easy to work with. His energy kept things moving and light. Mike will go above and beyond. We will absolutely be using him for future shoots.

Mike is awesome!!

We hired Mike for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the decision. It rained on our wedding day and he (& Ryan) constantly hustled to make sure they got the shot. I couldn't be more grateful to them on our wedding day. Not only that, but we got amazing photos on a day when it rained!! Mike and Ryan were fun and we felt like they were part of the wedding. If you're looking for an amazing photographer that will go above and beyond, Mike is your guy!

Mike is great!

Mike is so easy to get along with and makes what can be an awkward photoshoot for some fun. He keeps things light and makes you laugh. We used him for our engagement photos and our wedding. Two of our friends hired him for their weddings based on our recommendation. I do a lot of research before taking the plunge on something (especially when you’re spending a pretty penny) and Mike provided the best bang for our buck! He provides great quality pictures and doesn’t limit the amount you get. He’ll go out of his way to get you a good picture. I loved that he had an assistant photographer to capture the guys getting ready while Mike was with me. He was there from the moment we arrived at the venue until we closed out the night. We’ve kept in touch in the 4 years since our wedding, I totally recommend him!

Amazing experience and stunning photos!

When it came time to choose a wedding photographer, we absolutely had to have Michael Conway! He was the photographer at my sister's wedding, and his professional demeanor, humor, and the incredible photos of her day made it an easy choice when it came time for my own wedding. Michael was wonderful to work with from the beginning - he was a great communicator, and asked all the right questions that helped us shape the timeline and flow of our day. He helped us choose a great location for our engagement photos, and went above and beyond to give us a great experience during that shoot, so we had no doubts that he would deliver when the big day arrived! And he certainly did - it turned out to be the hottest day of the year in mid-July, and Michael handled the heat like a champ! Instead of complaining, his good humor helped ease our stress about the weather, and I have great memories of us laughing through the entire shoot. He was also able to accommodate all of our photo requests - we both have big families! Not to mention that the photos were absolutely breathtaking. Choosing a photographer is definitely a crucial part of planning a wedding, and I would absolutely recommend Michael without hesitation!

Could Not More Highly Recommend!

To start things off, I would recommend Michael 10 out of 10 times to anyone, for any type of event. Even my now mother-in-law raved about how impressed she was with Mike and she is tough.

We approached Mike in unique circumstances that lead us to having to plan our wedding in rather quicker than usual (three months). Mike didn't bat an eye and was game for the challenge. Through the planning process Mike was terrific. Communication was great and he was always patient with our many questions. Day of Mike was extremely well organized, coordinated with our venue and worked hard to make sure we didn't miss more of our day than we needed to. Mike was thoughtful in his work and captured all the key photographs we had ask be taken. Mike even helped provide us with some much needed structure during the getting ready time, making sure we didn't fall too far behind schedule.

As for the photos, they look absolutely stunning. Our wedding took place during autumn in the Catskills and Mike did an excellent job capturing all the natural beauty. If you are looking to book a photographer for your big day, look no further than Michael Conway!

Amazing to work with!!

Mike was referred to us by numerous couples we knew in the area and now we without a doubt are referring him to everyone we know!! He is very professional, yet so easy and fun to work with. He is not afraid to take charge of a big bridal party to ensure the bride and groom get the photos they want, which was super important to us! He made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and during our entire wedding day. Mike was able to capture every moment of our day perfectly! We are highly impressed when we received all of our edited pictures less than a month after our wedding! We will recommend Mike over and over again to anyone! He is amazing!!
