Wedding photography

Michael was unfortunately not available on my wedding day but he was very professional and sent me to his colleague, Jenna and her assistant McCall! They were wonderful, professional and truly made us feel amazing. Loved every moment and already got a sneak peek of the photos in a matter of 5 days. Absolutely love every photo and loved working with Jenna!

Michael is AWESOME! His photos are insanely gorgeous and absolutely timeless. Stephanie was the 2nd photographer on our wedding day and she did a fantastic job as well. He and his staff are SO helpful and a pleasure to work with. Michael's amazing, fun personality puts everyone at ease and 100% translates in his photos. Without a doubt, my husband and I made the best decision picking Michael and I recommend that anyone looking for perfect wedding photos pick Michael!

Michael was willing to work with us even when we had to move the wedding from Santa Monica to New York! He was easy to work with despite the distance. The pictures he took in the church were exceptional. Everyone was happy with the way thr pcitures came out. He was a lot of fun to work with which is important as the wedding day can become extremely hectic.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
