About

Everything I do, I believe in challenging the status quo. I believe in seeing and thinking about the world around us differently. The way I challenge the status quo is by making my images elegant, edgy, and custom tailored to capture each person's unique style. I do all of this, through my long time passion of photography.

When it comes to my clients, I like to push the boundaries and limits which take the images from being "what everyone else has" to something that's a truly unique work of art which you would be proud to display in your home. It's not about simply pressing a button to capture a photo. It's about taking 'your moment' in time and capturing it as a unique and artistic memory for generation after generation.

In the years of study and practice that I have devoted to this passion, I have found my motivation and excitement to revolve around wedding and portrait photography. I'm a photographer and an artist and its nothing short of a privilege and an honor to create photographic memories for you. My clients are treated no differently than I would treat my friends; it's both an honor and a privilege to capture the true essence of one of the most important days in your life.

Michael is the BEST! He took the time to meet with us both over the phone and in person to discuss his style, packages and engagement shoot ideas. We then had an awesome engagement session with some really creative and artistic shots. He even won an award for best wedding photo with one of our pictures. We were totally amazed at how they turned out. Then on the wedding day we had a huge wedding party and a tight schedule and he was able to coral everyone, get all of the shots we needed, come up with some spur of the moment artistic shots, capture the hillarious moments as well as the tender ones and maintain calm throughout it all. He has the best temperment for a photographer - laid back, but professional, funny and courteous. I can't say enough great things about him and all of the photos I've seen from his other weddings are amazing as wel. He just does a great job of capturing the personalities of the couples he photographs.

We had to change our engagement shoot date several times and Mike was very good about accommodating our schedule shifts since my now husband has to often travel for work last minute. Our final images were wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
