About

I'm Michael, a New England photographer and the owner of Michael Paul Weddings based on Cape Cod in Brewster, Massachusetts. Out here on the cape, we pride ourselves on capturing priceless moments in a way that transports clients back to that special day of celebration. When everything is said and done—the cake frozen, the dress preserved, and the luggage put away—the one thing you can expect from us is simply beautiful pictures.

Services Offered

I am a documentary-style photographer, capturing images in a photojournalistic aesthetic. While I'm very good at photographing a wedding solo, I can also work with a second photographer, where we can be at two places at once. We at Michael Paul Weddings are happy to cover your entire celebration, including during the getting-ready process or cocktail hour. With a second photographer, we can get different perspectives on “once in a lifetime” moments, from walking down the aisle to your first dance. Some of my other services include:

  • Traveling for out-of-state weddings
  • Engagement and portrait photo sessions
  • Keepsake albums and prints

So happy with our choice

Mike was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely professional and made me and my husband feel comfortable and have fun in front of the camera. His communication was extraordinary and his responses were prompt. It helped elevate a lot of the stress that comes with choosing wedding vendors. He got all the shots that I wanted plus some amazing ones I never would have thought of. The fact that he has the experience helped create beautiful shots that helped capture our wedding day. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We are so happy with our decision to hire Mike and he will definitely be the one I turn to for any other milestone that I want to capture beautifully in time. I can't recommend him enough!

We found Michael Paul through an online ad and we are very happy we did. Michael was incredibly helpful from the moment we met. He and his wife came up with a great idea for our engagement photos and we spent an awesome day in NYC taking a ton of awesome pictures. I am not usually on the receiving side of a camera lens and Michael was very adept at helping me be at ease in front of the lens. The pictures came out so good I am almost sorry I am asked him not to display them in his online portfolio because I am shy. We had a blast and we got hundreds of great photos. I was thrilled with all of Michael's help at our wedding and we were amazed that he managed cover the whole reception with ease. We got all the pictures we wanted right after the ceremony and we even had time to spend at the cocktail hour. I got tons of compliments from our guests about Michael (even our priest commented on his professionalism and respect in the church). For group shots Michael openly offered to take pics with the guests' cameras too so everyone could be in the shots. Michael has a lot of reasonable packages to chose from, and the prices are a lot less than other photographers who also give you digital copies of all the photos taken. The best part is our digital copies do not have a watermark and we have the right to print out photos to our hearts content. Also if we want professional quality prints Michael has that option available too. The wait for the photos might be longer than some photographers who let you see proofs right away, but the wait is worth it because after 4-6 weeks you get the final product in hand instead of being teased with thumbnails and waiting forever for the final prints. I have recommended Michael to a few Brides-to-be already. Michael and Linda put a lot of attention into the little details that helped make our wedding day a success.

An EASY 5 stars all around! Michael (with Linda's assistance) did a fantastic job at our wedding. We haven't seen the photos from the wedding yet (other than a couple on the camera LCD), but we also did an engagement shoot, which I also highly recommend. It was more fun that I thought it would be and the pictures came out great. Michael is very low key and relaxed but knows how to take the best shots. He charges a little more than some of the other photographers we looked at but we were not really satisfied with the samples we saw from the other photographers (less than ideal framing, no "life" or depth to the photos, excessively shiny faces etc). Not the case with Michael.

If you want to have great photos you can count on, Michael is your guy.

When my then fiancé now wife told me what she wanted to spend on a photographer I almost dropped my beer! I couldn't understand what could make somebody want to spend that much money, (keep in mind I am cheap, whatever digital camera someone might have would have been fine) so she showed me their web site and read me some of their reviews, I was impressed but definitely still skeptical so I agreed to go meet with them. They agreed to meet us close to where we were living in central mass about an hour drive from them. Upon meeting Michael and Linda I realized why they had received such great reviews. They showed me their work and ran through the entire process for me, from what all of the option were to how things were going to work, including the engagement photos. They even agreed to go up to Maine in December to shoot our engagement photos in Kennebunkport! After that weekend I knew we had received a fantastic deal not to mention great new friends! The engagement photos were fantastic and they were fantastic throughout the entire process, keeping in touch and checking in to see if there was anything we needed! Leading up to and on the wedding day they managed to exceed everything they had already done! I would not just recommend them to everybody I would say it should be required!

If your looking for the best photographer your going to want to choose Michael Paul Photo. He is wonderful to work with and makes those of us not photogenic look like models. His pictures are truly one of a kind and breath taking. Michael took my engagement photos and will be taking my wedding photos May 2013. I highly recommend Michael Paul Photo if you want to have beautiful memories that last.

Michael is amazing! We did an engagement session with him up at mount washington so we got to know him a bit before the wedding. The pictures came out great!
We have only seen the "sneak peek" of our wedding photos from 7/21....but they are incredible! He was a pleasure to work with and everyone commented on how unobtrusive he was during the wedding.
We would absolutely recommend him!

When I think about wedding photography, I can't help but think about Michael Paul....his work speaks for itself. Michael is professsional, artistic, caring and all about giving the bride memories that will last a lifetime. In thinking that a wedding is only 1 day and will never be repeated, I am so thankful that Michael was there to capture our day. I am forever grateful. Thanks Michael!!!

When I meet with a couple one of the first things that I ask is, "who's your photographer?" ...and in my mind I'm praying that it's Michael from Michael Paul Photo, because I know that the photographs will be amazingly perfect with every detail and moment from that one day documented just as it should be. Then to top it off, the way that Michael and his wife, Linda make it a point to get to know their couples, so when it comes to the "Big Day"...your new best friends are right there with you, capturing every beautiful moment. Luckily for me, the florist, I also have a best friend photographer named Michael to share your day with me. In my opinion, cameras were made...just for Michael.

He has a knack for catching the perfect shots, and he's really easy to work with.
