Perfection

I would give Michael 10 stars if possible! He is an incredible photographer, able to capture the story and essence of the most beautiful day of my life. His photographs are unique and he has a great eye for fun shots, especially in new locations. I was blown away by my wedding photos and also the arrangement of my wedding album. Michael's photos made me look/feel like the princess I always wanted to be on my wedding day. Thank you, Michael! Austin is lucky to have you.

Michael was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our engagement photos to our wedding day he was a true professional. His photos captured every moment of our special day. His eye and design aesthetic is nothing but perfect. We thank him for his beautiful work.

Out of all the choices we made for our wedding, choosing Michael Charles as our photographer was, by far, the best choice we made!

Michael took time with us before we booked him to get to know us as a couple and to understand our vision and expectations of our big day. He was then so easily available and flexible during the planning process and I felt 100% confident in him every step of the way (which is invaluable as a bride when you are planning your wedding)!

On our big day, Michael arrived and fit in seamlessly with our timeline and with the members of our family and bridal party. He was with us every step of the day, but not in an obtrusive way. His demeanor was professional, yet personable, as it truly seemed like he was happy to be a part of our day.

When working on our album, Michael spent a good amount of time with us to include us in the creative process. He was accommodating and flexible and truly created an album that perfectly captures how special and memorable our day was.

I cannot express how happy we were in Michael Charles and we highly recommend him!!

Michael not only has a great eye for photography, and capturing some truly original, spontaneous shots, but he's a general all around nice guy as well. I've seen photographers barking orders at the bridal party, setting up posed shot after posed shot. Michael captures everyone having fun at the wedding without intruding on any of the guests.
