What primary photographic style do you identify with?
My husband and I first met Mike at a local brewery in Paso Robles in 2019 when we were still dating. As we got to know Mike on a personal level we knew we wanted him to capture our wedding even though we weren’t engaged yet.
When we did get engaged Mike was the first vendor we hired for our destination wedding in Oahu.
Mike traveled to Oahu a few days before our wedding and checked out our venue.
He is super easy to work with, gets group and family shots done in a timely manner plus he makes lots of dad jokes.
We are so happy with our wedding pictures

Absolutely Incredible!
Finding the perfect wedding photographer was high on our priority list, since these photos were going to highlight and capture the most wonderful day of our lives! We chose Michael Stephens Photography, and we were blown away! He is such a joy to be around and work with. At times, I forgot we were even being photographed and he captured so many incredible candid moments. I could not have asked for a better experience and he took so many beautiful photos!

Michael is the absolute best!
Don't bother searching any further, truly.
We hired Michael for our wedding in May 2023. He came highly recommended by two other friends who hired him for their weddings, and it's easy to see why. Not only are his photos amazing, but on the big day, he was more than a photographer - he was a guide that helped us from one step to the next in the busy schedule. His presence is warm and positive, which really put us at ease. He is a pro with group portraits and we were able to knock them out super fast and get back to enjoying the festivities. We are so thrilled with the results and will treasure the photos and memories for years to come. Thank you, Michael!
It was such a pleasure working with Michael Stephens! He was super chill and easy to work with, not to mention...a lot of fun. A great addition to our vendor team!
