Connor and I are so happy we chose Mike - he was professional, funny, reasonable and really put us at ease on our wedding day, despite how chaotic it was. We are very pleased with how our pictures turned out and would absolutely recommend him for anyone looking for a photographer capable of capturing the real emotions of the event. He did a stellar job - we'll definitely be having him do pictures for us again in the future! Props to him, he is also one of the few photographers who really knows how to do a real black and white photo!
