Wonderful!
When we started out looking for a wedding photographer, we knew we wanted someone who shared our passion for the arts and showed good fundamentals. We wanted someone who was both technical and creative. And we needed someone to handle our lively bunch! Michael checked all of these boxes! He was laid back, kind, and courteous. He helped us make a plan for photography and was very professional in his communication and responsiveness. He rolled with the punches when we got behind schedule and gracefully adjusted his timeline. Michael did a fantastic job capturing photos of so many of our wedding guests. We also really appreciate that Michael shoots primarily on film, which gives the photos a soft, rich quality. He perfectly captured the beauty and joy of our wedding day. We are very pleased with the result and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Michael!

Calm and professional wedding photographer
It felt like my husband and I scoured through so many wedding photographers with the same poses, same images, same type of couples until we found Michael. Once we found him, we recognized that we had found an artist and wanted him to be there on our big day. He is extremely personable, kind, and knowledgeable. He was able to capture the moments that we never wanted to forget and made both of us feel very at ease the entire time we worked together. He took the time to meet with us twice before the wedding day to go over what we were hoping to have captured. He communicated openly and was very quick to respond to email and text. The images he took of us are unique and beautiful. We loved that he shot everything on film; it gave the images more depth and tells the story of our day. We can not recommend Michael Schaffer highly enough. If you are looking for a calm, wonderful, and professional photographer, he is the one!

We hired Mike as our wedding photographer for next year. To get a feel for his style, we also hired him for an engagement session. After the session, we can't wait to work with him again on our wedding day! He was courteous, professional, engaged, responsive, and everything you could want in a photographer. Above all else, his pictures turned out great!

We highly recommend Mike, and should we need a photographer for future events, he will be the first person we call.
