Welcome to Michael Johnson Photography. Growing up I was always amazed by great story tellers.Just by the way they told the story, they could make you feel as if you were right there in the story.So it came as no suprise to me that my photography style is that of a story teller. I do this by capturing those special and stolen moments and nuances in and around your wedding day. Because you've spent a lot of time on every detail of your wedding,I believe those details are an intricate part of the story that is "YOUR WEDDING DAY".Your story is told in pictures through a Photojounalist style of photography. I tell your story in its entirety including getting dressed, ceremony, portraits,and reception. There are some formal pictures, but mostly we photograph in an informal and unobtrusive way. Thereby capturing those precious, natural ,candid, and spontaneous moments of both you, your family and your guests. We are careful to "keep the camera rolling" so we don't miss that "once in a lifetime shot". In an average 8 hour wedding package we would take 600-1200 photographs We serve the entire Capital District and Hudson Valley Region. We also service Connecticut and Massachusetts. Because of our ideal location, as well as serving the Capitil District ,we also serve Pougkeepsie, Kingston, Middletown, Newburgh , Rhinebeck, The Catskills, Woodstock, New Paltz, Brewster and Westchester. Coming from a fine arts photography background, it is that mindset that each finished photograph should be "museum quality". Because this day is so special, there tends to be the complete range of emotional moments. We endeavor to capture them in a photojournalistic manor which gives a true and moving account of this special day. We are highly energetic and we love people,a quality I have found is a must when participating in such a special event as your wedding day. We are committed to a level of excellence that is second to none. Your investment in quality photography is truly "the gift that keeps on giving" both now and in the future.In addition to Weddings we shoot: Advertising, Senior Portraits, Commercial, Assignment, and Events .
