Engagement Photoshoot

Mike is INCREDIBLE! From the moment we spoke to Mike we knew we were going to pick him to do our wedding. My fiancé and I have only done our engagement shoot with him so far and loved every moment of it. We both don’t always feel comfortable in front of a camera but Mike definitely knew what to say and show us what to do. He made us feel very comfortable and the pictures are came out really natural. He also gave us great suggestions on where to take our pictures. We can’t wait for our wedding!

WOW, Just Wow

All I can say is wow! And so will all your friends and family when they see your photos. Mike is so talented and creative. Not to mention he is super fun to work with. He will make everyone feel comfortable and look natural. He is also extremely reliable and will make sure to catch every detail. He got to our venue super early on our wedding day and was offering to help while also reassuring me that we have plenty of time. Mike rocks!

Amazing wedding photographer!

I don't even know where to begin to explain how amazing Mike is. The first and most important part of working with him is that from the beginning, Mike makes you feel like you are one of his friends you've known forever- which makes the whole process of taking photos so much more fun and easy!

As far as our big day, most of the time we didn't even notice he was there! And when we did, he was having a good time himself and making us feel like our wedding was the best one he had ever been to (I'm sure he had been to better even though ours was pretty great ;)).

Our photos turned out perfectly! Between him and his second shooter Ruben, who was also awesome, they got all the angles and every possible shot I could have thought of! I was really impressed by all the great candids they got too.

If you are looking for a photographer who will be fun to work with and give you breathtaking pictures at the end, look no further than Mike! He is definitely the best in Orange County, that's for sure!

Incredible photographer

Honestly, Mike is the BEST! He was very punctual with all email communication and easy to talk to on the phone. He made my husband & I feel very comfortable posing for wedding photos and captured beautiful candid shots. He went above and beyond to make sure he photographed every moment of our special day. Mike is a true professional with an easy-going personality, he is passionate about his work and an EXPERT photographer. He sent "sneak peeks" the day after our wedding and the entire photo gallery was sent soon after. We are so happy to have chosen Mike and hope to work with him again in the future!

I wish I could give Mike more stars! He was amazing, all of my guests told me how much they loved our photographer! Mike went above and beyond all of my expectations; he came in the party bus with us so he could get some fun shots, he had soo many great ideas for photos and helped make the day run smoothly. His assistant Ruben was also great to work with. Both guys were really professional and I can't wait to use Mike for more events!

Amazing, fabulous, wonderful, awesome.... Nothing but positive things to say about Mike. Have only received the wedding "teasers" (they were beautiful to say the least), but having Mike around all day was like having your best friend by your side. He has a wonderful sense of humor, loves what he does, and so many of our guests commented on his positive attitude and how he just blended in with all of us on such a special day. He made our day!

There are not enough words to describe how absolutely amazing Mike is! My husband and I are very awkward people when it comes to getting our picture taken and let me tell you Mike made us feel so comfortable and it was so much fun! I couldn't believe how amazing our engagement photos turned out. It made it that more exciting during the wedding knowing our photos were going to turn out perfect (which the did). Mike was referred to us by a friend and we were so lucky! You can not go wrong with having Mike as your photographer! His work is phenomenal!

Mike is amazing!!! He just photographed my best friends wedding and things couldn’t have gone more perfect. Mike took the time to listen to what the brides vision was. He also effortlessly lifted the brides spirits when she was feeling overwhelmed about 30 minutes before we began the ceremony. He made her laugh and smile- he just has a great presence! I was also very impressed because he took the time to make sure our poses made sense. I’ve been in OTHER bridal parties before where the photographer just says “go stand over there and link arms and smile”. Not with mike- he thought through everything and made sure that the poses looked flawless. He has a natural ability to make the people he’s photographing feel comfortable- the entire bridal party had the best time and we would 10000% recommend! MIKE- Thank you for making my best friends wedding day so special!!!

I am obsessed with Mike! He is so talented. He took so many gorgeous pictures during our engagement shoot, its hard to decide which ones I love best. He recently shot our wedding and the sneak peaks he sent me for that day are amazing! He is very professional, arrives on time (even early), and I felt he went above and beyond for us. He is also very comfortable, I felt like I was working with an old friend that I have known for years. He has worked with at least 5 couples I know and they are all extremely happy with their photo's. You will have these pictures for a lifetime. He is worth it! My husband wants to add that he impressed him (that's hard to do) and very professional. Just a good dude!

We had the most awesome experience working with Mike - seriously our favorite vendor for our wedding! We had a dream of taking our engagement photos at Joshua Tree and although it was an all day engagement journey, Mike supported our dream and took the most amazing photos even though it was his first time at the site. He has a talent and eye for creative shots and we felt so comfortable with him during our engagement shots, we knew he would be dependable on our wedding day. He came prepared, and endured 114 degree weather for our wedding, all outdoors! He continued to smile and was mindful of the sweat we had to wipe off before our photo sessions. We even had a family emergency right before the ceremony, and he gave me the best advice during that time when I sought his counsel. Either move on with the ceremony to make the lighting before it went down, or stall the ceremony to take care of the emergency. He picked the latter one and the photos turned out perfect even though it was darker than planned. Hes awesome and I have recommended him to many of our friends! WE LOVE YOU MIKE!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
