About

I care about you and I want your wedding to be amazing.

Your Day is Your Day

Every wedding is unique and I want your photos to be one-of-a-kind.

We’ll talk through the timeline, locations, and what special moments you’re most looking forward to. I’ll even bring a list of your VIPs so we don’t miss anyone.

Our #1 priority is to tell your story. All of the emotion-filled moments, how spectacular you look in that gown, your family and friends, the details you spent hours on. You won’t have to worry about a thing when we’re there.

I love thinking that future generations are going to be talking on and on about how rad grandma & grandpa’s wedding photos are ;)

Feel Good, Look Good

Weddings are full of emotion! We want to capture the personality and feeling of your day. Pictures that make you smile, make you laugh, make you wonder, and make you feel all tingly inside—those are the pictures you want to keep. The ones you will cherish forever.

I’m going to make sure you look great and will give direction when you need it (like if you’re doing some weird arm thing) but a lot of it is walking, talking, irting, etc. Just being yourself! I even know the angles and tips to have you look amazing.

FUN

I honestly love my job.
I love people, I love marriage, I love making incredible photos.

Being able to document someone’s wedding is a privilege and an honor.

We take the job seriously, but also have an absolute blast doing it.

So excited to work with you!

The BEST Pittsburgh Photographer

Michael is the absolute BEST! We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have Michael capture our big day. From engagement photos a few months prior, he immediately made us feel comfortable and was so fun to be around! Fast forward to our wedding day and it was more perfect than we could have imagined. Michael worked seamlessly with our venue and wedding planner to ensure we stayed on schedule and still somehow captured every single second of the day. Michael and his second shooter Jake were a blast to hang out with and our bridal party immediately felt at ease with them. They were so helpful in gathering us and giving tips for poses to ensure everyone looked their best! Multiple times throughout the day a funny or special moment would be happening and I would turn to see Michael and/or Jake already capturing it. Their creativity and passion for shooting the most stunning and authentic photos from the day was beyond our wildest dreams. And the photos are UNREAL! We haven’t stopped scrolling through them and every time we catch something new and special. When we learned it was light up night and there would be fireworks, Michael and Jake didn’t hesitate to stay a little longer to shoot some rooftop pics and that will always be one of our favorite memories of the night! These photos will surely be hung throughout our home and cherished for a lifetime. We will forever be grateful for Michael and the gift of his photos to relive our day for years to come!

Preserves Moments!

If I could give Michael and his second shooter, John, more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat. From the moment they arrived, they made us feel completely comfortable and confident, not just in ourselves, but in their ability to capture the essence of our day.

I was nervous about the timeline and making sure we’d get every shot I had dreamed of. Michael checked in throughout the day and reassured me we were right on schedule. And he was right—he captured everything with such calm, grace, and precision.

Michael didn’t just take photos; he preserved moments. He made us feel calm, beautiful, and fully present. I would recommend him a million times over. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s both a true artist and a calming presence on a big day, Michael is the one.

Absolutely amazing!

I cannot recommend Michael Will enough! If I could give more stars, I would. He did both our engagement and wedding pictures. From the minute I sent an inquiry, Michael responded immediately, by personally calling us! With warm, fun and calm demeanor made us know instantly we found our photographer. He is an incredible and talented photographer, and also makes the day fun and calming for me, my husband, our bridal party, family and guests. On top of that, he is an amazing person and very professional. He worked with our other vendors in a professional and kind manner (and also gave us stellar recommendations!). His responsiveness and timeliness of getting pictures back to us and answering any questions, was phenomenal. Our pictures perfectly captured every moment, and continue to make us relive the day over and over. These pictures will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend Michael and his team enough. Our guests are still talking about how amazing he was. Don’t look any further, book Michael immediately! You will not regret it!!

1000% Worth It!

Working with Michael and his team from before the wedding to the album making process was smooth, easy, and so much fun. He is incredibly professional, puts you at ease ahead of time/day of, and was even loved by all the guests. The quality and amount of photos we got was exceptional! Every moment was captured beautifully. We are also so happy we did our albums with them because the process is so efficient and exactly what we want. Well worth the money spent!

The Best Choice of our Wedding Day

My husband and I cannot stop raving about how happy we are that we chose Michael as our photographer for our wedding day. Michael was so easy to work with and we had such a great time with him both at our engagement session and on our wedding day. My husband hates having his picture taken but he keeps saying how comfortable Michael made him and easy it was for the photoshoots. Michael was the utmost professional and has a keen awareness of his clients and what they want for their photos even if the couple doesn't realize what they want. His photos perfectly fit the vibe of our wedding and I couldn't be happier with him as our wedding photographer.

Photos and Personality - a perfect choice for our wedding!

MichaelWill Photographers was nothing short of professional, creative, organized, and fun! Michael was our only consideration for a photographer after sending out inquiries to multiple photographers because he CALLED us. His response to our online inquiry was speedy and we connected quickly - he understood our vision and wishes but immediately started collaborating with his own creative ideas. He made us confident in our decision and did not disappoint! After our pre-wedding planning meeting so much of my anxiety about many aspects of our wedding were gone because Michael had led us through a thoughtful, organized timeline that left me feeling completely calm. This was definitely not his first rodeo!
Michael, and his second photographer Jacob, were fantastic from the first minute they arrived! They were seamlessly able to insert themselves into every situation, being smooth and inconspicuous yet always in the right spot to catch spontaneous photo ops. They captured amazing memories with such care and enthusiasm - we couldn't have made a better choice!
Michael, your passion for your craft is infectious, and your consideration and thoughtfulness for everyone and each unique photo op made it so fun to work with you! (Oh, and you're kind of funny, too!) Thank you for being a part of our perfect day!

+11/10 Would Recommend!

+11/10 would recommend! Michael is equal parts talented, professional, and fun! His clear gift at capturing timeless moments and memories is what drew us to him, but his personality is what sealed the deal for my husband and I! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, keep in mind that you’ll be with them almost all day, so you want to make sure the two of you jive well together, and Mike was honestly so easy to get along with. He made us smile and laugh through our entire engagement session and wedding day… and it showed in our photos! We’ve received so many compliments from family and friends on how genuinely happy we look in Michael’s images. Very prompt at replying to emails and quick turn around time with photographs and products after our sessions. We’re so happy we had you for our big day, Mike! Thank you again!

The best!

After our venue, Michael Will was the first vendor we booked. My husband and I both agree that photos are the best way to relive the best day of your life. And aside from the important marriage, the only thing you have after that day is done. Because of this we wanted to make sure we found the best photographer that jived with us. Boy did he deliver!

We set up a meeting with Michael Will after seeing his work at a vendor fair at our venue, his was the only work that we actually liked at the fair. Then after talking to him and meeting him it was immediately evident we had to book him. He is the coolest, most down to earth guy who also happens to take breathtaking photos!

We lucked out and he was super familiar with our venue, Succop Nature Park. Not only had he shot many other weddings there, but he got married there also! His enthusiasm for the venue, particularly photography at this venue was awesome!

Before the wedding he helped me set up a photography timeline that helped us plan out the rest of the day effortlessly. He also went over everything he would do and capture as well as asked what we wanted. And when I say he is up for anything, he is up for ANYTHING. My husband and I love the idea of capturing the moment much more than posed photos and Michael Will got TONS of these moments without being intrusive. He also made everyone, and I mean even those stubborn “I hate getting my picture taken” people feel 100% comfortable.

Also did I mention he’s funny? We had A BLAST working with him and his partner. We also loved how he helped us create some memories that we otherwise wouldn’t. He did some sunset photos and this allowed us 15 minutes to ourselves to really spend time together, soak it in, and observe our wedding. He captured us playing frisbee with my brother, he captured us eating s’mores with my best friend, and the endless AWESOME dance floor photos.

But my favorite of all is obviously the photos of my husband and I. They glow with our happiness from the best day of our life, the silliness we share, and our love for each other. I’ve already started trying to find another reason to book Michael Will, he can attest to this ha! You will not regret booking him, I promise!

Well Worth!!

Michael Will is well worth everything! If there is one thing I will say when it comes to your vendors of what is a priority it should be your photographer because your pictures are the one thing that you are going to have after the wedding and remember. I will tell you Michael Will Photography is well worth everything, he has a vision for photographs and he makes you have FUN during your time with him on the day and makes you feel so relaxed! My husband and I kept joking with one another of who would get Michael and my husband kept saying he wanted him as he got ready! You will not regret your choice, we just got our previews of some of our wedding photos from our day and they are absolutely breathtaking! We cannot wait for the rest of them and we know they are going to be amazing!

Michael is an awesome photographer, his pictures are evidence of that! But after working with him, it's also easy to see that he is professional, but easy-going. A trait combination that puts the bride & groom at ease, which in turn, makes for some great pics! I've only met Michael a handful of times, but I can tell you that he is an all around 'good guy' Combine that with awesome photography and you've got a winner.
