Personable professional playful photographer

Michael is very personable, professional and our favorite vendor from our wedding!!! From the start, he was genuinely interested in knowing and telling our story and celebrating that story. He helped our day flow smoothly, helped us set realistic photography goals, and took leadership direction to get the portraits we wanted while also being playful. Michael gently reminded me to smile when I was too stressed and nervous, and with just one sentence in an elevator ride, normalized the chaos of the day, which changed my welling stress tears to laughs. He was a photographer and therapist! He was very accommodating when we didn’t need an engagement photo session and came to photograph our rehearsal and dinner instead. Michael was also very culturally aware when we needed him to photograph the private Chinese Tea Ceremony prior to our garden ceremony with our full guest list. If there’s any room for change, I would have just communicated more of our choreographed first dance with him ahead of time so he could anticipate when to capture difficult action shots. We would hire him again for future events and highly recommend him to friends and family!!

Words can’t describe

Where to even begin! Working with Michael was hands down one of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding! The moment we started wedding planning, I knew Michael was who I wanted to capture our special day. I had seen his work at a friends wedding and instantly fell in love with his artistic, creative and heartfelt images that he captured. From the start, he was super responsive, kind and BEYOND helpful with everything! He made sure to constantly tell us that our wedding day was to be about us and he was there to help in any way, from capturing those special moments, to dress fluffing, to family wrangler, he did it all and with a smile on his face! The images he captured had us feeling like we were back to our special day and reliving it all over and over and over again! Hands down the best decision we made for our special day!

Highly recommend

Michael's professionalism and eye for detail made him such a pleasure to work with! He was kind and flexible, and valued our request for different photos. We enjoyed working with him from beginning to the end of our wedding experience

The Best!!!

I can not say enough about Michael!
He is the nicest, most caring and compassionate person EVER.
From your very first phone call until your last. We booked Michael for our wedding and I could not wait to use him. Unfortunately, we had some family issues we had to change things last minute. I was sad about it, but I was so thankful I had the chance to cross paths with him. Who knows maybe I'll throw on that gown again and get some pictures done :)

Absolutely one of the best experiences

Michael highly impressed my husband and I the entire way through the process. From our very first meeting with him his professionalism and skill made us feel completely at ease. He and his team made posing feel so natural and easy and our photos definitely reflect that! All of our photos came out so much better than we could have ever dreamed of! I would (and have already) highly recommend Michael to anyone getting married!

Couldn't be happier!

My husband and I decided to get married in a short two weeks leaving not much time to square away details. Michael has worked with my sister-in-law in the past and he was the first and only suggestion she gave us regarding a photographer. Not only did he change plans to help us out, he made it painless and was so nice and easy to work with. We didn't really know what we wanted, it was such a whirlwind that pictures were a second thought. After seeing the final product, I couldn't be more happy with choosing Michael. It's something you don't think about until you actually have the documentation of such a special day, and he gave that to us. I could not recommend Michael more. So professional, easy to work with, affordable, and gave us exactly what we didn't know we wanted. 5 stars!

Great experience!

Michael was excellent on the day of the wedding! He was incredibly professional and was able to communicate clear ideas on the day of that made pictures a breeze and made them look beautiful! I was nervous for pictures because I am naturally a shy person (as is my hubby!) and we were both comfortable and he captured the moments beautifully. Even my brother in law who is a wedding professional himself was incredibly impressed and said he has never seen such a good photographer! Would recommend him to my best friend!

Michael Davis Photography is amazing!

Michael was a pleasure to work with and captured our wedding day beautifully! He gave us helpful hints to make our photos turn out as well as possible and was very flexible when we had to move our ceremony inside.

Michael Davis was the photographer on-site for an annual corporate event at our venue. He was timely in his arrival and extremely gracious to be at the venue that afternoon. He photographed more than 140 guests in a totally unobtrusive way throughout the event and had the personal insight to know the right angles, positions and lighting to get an extremely diverse selection of photos. He consulted with me a couple tmes during the event to make sure all of our photographic needs were being met and to make sure we had not forgotten anything before he completed his work. There were several other vendors on-site that afternoon. They all spoke highly of Michael privately and interacted with him enthusiastically throughout the event. I would not heistate to recommend him to others or to request his services again. Weddings, corporate events, celebrations...we host all of those things and more, and he would be an outstanding professional for any and all.

Professional, creative, and not afraid to do whatever it takes to capture the perfect shot. He was a dependable vendor, and as a wedding planner, to me, this is very important. Looking forward to working with him again.
