Michael was absolutely wonderful. He was quick to respond to all my questions & worked with us to make our day special to look back on through his photos. He was very meticulous and made sure the lighting was perfect for all the photos he took, both on film and digital. He had our photos returned to us quickly and MY GOD they are beautiful beyond what I envisioned they would be. My Facebook notifications keep blowing up & everyone loves them. We really appreciated how Michael asked us what we wanted, gave us a timeline and his professional opinions and ultimately gave us the best gallery to keep forever. HIGHLY recommend Michael for your photography needs!!!

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.

Working with Michael is an absolute delight! He is professional, kind, and incredibly talented. Neither of us are “naturals” in front of the camera, but that didn’t matter during our photoshoot with Michael because he made us feel so comfortable. He has remarkable vision regarding scenery, poses, lighting, etc. We couldn’t be happier with both the experience and the end product! We’ll treasure these stunning photos forever. Thank you, Michael! Look forward to working with you again in the future.
