Michael and his team were some of the most special people to be a part of our wedding day!!! When selecting our vendors my husband and I were well aware that we’d be spending the majority of our day with our team & for that reason we were VERY selective. Upon first meeting with Michael there was no hesitation. He is creative, authentic, personable and yes, he’ll get your husband who hates being In front of the camera to smile, laugh & capture the emotional moments too. He did our engagement photos before the big day too and they were just as breathtaking as our wedding day photos! We cannot begin to describe the level of professionalism and quality work he brings. Our family and friends couldn’t stop complimenting him and his work during the wedding day and a few short weeks later when the album was delivered.

Michael, more than a review this is a thank you from the bottom of my heart. Being that Gregory and I weren't used to attention or being in front of a camera, we were hesitant when it came the photography part of the wedding. Even so much so that I may or may not have tried to avoid doing an engagement shoot altogether. I was overruled on that decision and THANK GOODNESS. We ended up having so much fun with you and when Gregory and I returned to our cars, we were both in agreement that you were actually the best.
Through our meetings and my indecision about anything and everything, you were available to answer all my phone calls/texts/emails/social media DMs. If you had a fax number and pager number, I'm sure I would have found a way to speak to you there too. When we had our zoom meetings, I loved that sometimes your kids could be heard laughing in the background as you chuckled and apologized. I truly loved and respected that you're a family man who is passionate about both family and photography.
The day of our wedding came and it felt like I was greeting a friend, a guest of our big day but your leather camera body holster said you meant business. You pulled us away at exactly the right times to get the golden hour shots and cake cutting. Our wedding guests raved about you and they all said it looked like you were having as much fun as they/we were having, maybe even busted a move or two?!
I didn't realize it when we booked you, but the photographer dictates the schedule and flow of the day to optimize picture taking opportunities and if you weren't as open with communication and organized as you were, I could see an already crazy and hectic day turn stressful very quickly. You let your second shooter give suggestions on photo ops and you were humble and open to see it through and as a result of your collaboration, you guys got some really special and unique shots and I am forever grateful.
The previews you posted on IG captured (the very next day!!) what a beautiful night it was. Thank you again for being a friend through the whole process and giving us an experience of a lifetime. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
This was a very long review and if you have read down this far, I could not recommend Mike more. If you're trying to choose a photographer, choose Mike. It's a no brainer!!

Mike is the best! He did our engagement shoot and wedding. Amazing quality images, delivered so fast to us! He had great communication throughout the process and kept us so calm throughout the day of the wedding. Everything was on a schedule and did not have to worry about a thing. He is very sweet and will keep you at ease through the chaos. Highly recommend!

I was a little nervous ahead of taking pictures because I thought it would feel super awkward. Not with Michael, he takes the awkwardness right away and makes it fun and feel natural. He did our engagement shoot and wedding pictures and they came out absolutely gorgeous. We’ll be hiring him again when it comes time to take some family photos

Working with Mike was a great experience. He did the engagement photos which made what to expect for the wedding photos that much easier! I never thought I was photogenic until we shot with Mike! He is kind, patient, funny, professional, and organized. Communicating with Mike was so easy and he knows how to works with large groups and animals! (Our dogs were in our wedding). We would totally work with Mike again. He takes great candid photos too! Thank you Mike for the amazing picture I get to put up in my home, share, and help remember our special day forever.

Michael was fantastic from the time we first crossed paths. We had an initial call with him to “interview” him when trying to choose a photographer. 2 minutes into the call we both had a great feeling. Shortly after we hung up, we looked at each other and agreed Michael was the right choice. From there, expectations were exceeded. Our engagement shoot was great, with Michael making us feel comfortable doing something that neither of us were that comfortable doing. Michael’s demeanor, methods of getting the right poses/shots, responsiveness, and quick/smooth delivery of the finished product can’t go unmentioned. Throughout the day of our wedding, Michael continued to impress us with his timeliness, organization, and continued pursuit of the best shots possible. He did a great job of directing us and our wedding parties. He also did a great job of structuring the schedule for the day and making sure it all went as planned; as well as ensuring that we got all of the pictures we wanted with the people we wanted, and then some! We cannot recommend Michael enough, you will NOT be disappointed.

Mike was our wedding photographer and easily one of the nicest people to work with on our wedding day, even when I was a complete Bridezilla at times! He is so talented and we will treasure these photos forever! From the very start, Mike was super timely and personable. He sent us a lovely welcome package with personalized coffee mugs and our favorite coffee! I could tell right away that he really cares about the couples he works with and during our first call he took the time to get to know our story and all the special details to focus on for our wedding. We had over 400 guests at our wedding and had an absurd amount of family members and very large bridal party; they were very difficult to gather on the wedding day and Mike and his team worked extra hard to make sure we got all the photos we wanted. Also, as an overwhelmed bride I completely slipped on sending Mike a final photo list beforehand and he still was able to get us all our photos on the day! We ran way over time on the wedding day and Mike still stayed until the very end and was an absolute delight to work with. On top of everything, he also sent us at least 20-30 edited photos the very next day, shared numerous highlights on his instagram, and also sent us our full edited album way earlier than expected! Book Mike for your next event or photo needs and you will not be disappointed! Easily one of the best decisions I made for my wedding!

Michael was amazing to work with from the get go. He was communicative and had a calm disposition that calmed our nerves - be it during the engagement photos and being uncomfortable in front of the camera or on our wedding day when we were pumped full of adrenaline. We got literally every photo we asked for and more, and they were beautifully captured and edited, and delivered so quickly. I recommend Michael to everyone and will certainly book him for future professional photography needs.

We can’t say enough things about Michael. From the engagement shoot, to preparations before the big day, his companionship on the day of, and OF COURSE our beautiful photos. Not only is he talented and gave us memories for a lifetime, but he’s just a really great guy! Can’t wait to shoot with him again.

My wife and I hired Michael to shoot our wedding and it was the best decision we made! Our package included a free engagement shoot, which we loved so that we could meet with him prior to our wedding day. He provided all of our engagement pictures within 2 days, provided a preview wedding album within 2 days, and we got our whole wedding album back within 1 month. His work is spectacular and the photos were more than I could have ever imagined. He helped make the photo aspect of our wedding go smoothly the entire day/night and we are so grateful. I highly recommend Michael Louis Media!!
