Mike Buscher Photography

Mike was able to capture some amazing photos for us and we are thrilled we worked with him! His way of capturing such special moments is truly an art! My family kept saying, “when was this photo taken” or “I didn’t even know he was taking photos”, he truly knows how to be incognito and capture amazing photos! We highly recommend using Mike for whatever event you have planned. He was super easy to work with, a great communicator and was able to take some amazing photos of our special day. We are forever grateful for him!

Our wedding photos turned out great! Mike was a pleasure to work with and very professional. Highly recommend!!

Mike Buscher is an amazing photographer. My husband and I got to meet him for the first time at our engagement photo session. Mike was so easy to talk to and we had a lot of fun! He is very personable and we loved how our engagement photos turned out! Then getting ready for our wedding day, Mike communicated well and I trusted that everything would be perfect day of. Mike was calm cool and collected the whole time. He took amazing photos and had a good eye for the right locations to take pictures! I kept getting nervous about timing and he would talk to me and ease my worries. He also made sure my husband did not see me in my dress before the wedding! We did not want to do a first look and he helped walk in front of me to make sure my husband didn't accidently see me in my dress through some windows! All the pictures were gorgeous and Mike was very easy and fun to work with! We 100% recommend his service!

Mike was amazing to work with from our very first phone call to the day of. He was attentive, listed to our requests and what we were hoping to get from our day(s). Our first visit for our engagement shoot, Mike helped break the ice and make the session enjoyable and laughable. We even went out for drinks afterwards to continue to get to know each other!
On the big day Mike went out of his way to make sure certain photos and memories we wanted were captured. He was always present, but at the same time seemed to not be there. Throughout the night Mike and his assistant continued to check in with us to make sure we were doing well. He even snuck us off for an impromptu moon light photo shoot!
I cannot speak higher of a photographer than I can for Mike and his team!

Mike Buscher is an excellent wedding photographer that you most definitely should consider hiring for your wedding! We are so pleased with how our pictures turned out, and the process of working with Mike was wonderful.

Mike stuck out to us as a potential photographer not just for his gorgeous photos, but also from his thoughtful biography explaining his photojournalistic style. We didn’t want our wedding day to be all about getting our pictures taken constantly in nonstop photo shoots (though I’m sure Mike could accommodate that!); we wanted the focus to be mostly on catching the details and experience of the day so we could always look back and remember every little moment. Mike did an amazing job: he made sure all the shots we asked for on our list were taken quickly and efficiently (and he gave clear directions and was always super kind), and he made sure we had time to enjoy the night and spend time with our guests as he and his assistant photographer snapped away and captured so many great moments. He got the pictures back to us in less than a week, and they were all beautifully edited and caught so many perfect moments to show off who we and our guests are, our silly quirks and all.

On top of doing great photography work, Mike was all around just a great person to work with. He video chatted me, my husband, and my family as we were vendor shopping, and he was so personable, knowledgeable, and informative then and before the wedding as we discussed our wishes. When our videography company went bankrupt less than two weeks before the wedding, I asked Mike for help, and he responded immediately even though it was late: he checked with his videographer and colleagues, and when none were available he provided me a list of well-known and reputable videography companies he could vouch for, and we ended up hiring one that did a fantastic job. So Mike was lowkey the MVP of our wedding!

Long story short: Mike is a fantastic pick as your wedding videographer, especially if you want someone personable who will ensure your big day is captured genuinely and beautifully. I would strongly recommend his services!

Mike is an incredible photographer, and we couldn’t have been happier to have him be the one to take care of our wedding. He has a friendly, easygoing demeanor that makes it easy for folks who are camera shy to loosen up and relax, while at the same time taking incredible formals and candids. Mike and his team shot the entire wedding process, from preparation, first looks, portraits, the ceremony, reception, and dance for us… nearly 1000 professionally edited photos by the end. He captured shots that we’re still in awe of. One of the biggest pieces of advice we received from family and friends prior to getting married was “Hire a great photographer; you only get one shot at this.” We’re incredibly lucky to have had Mike recommended to us, and will be thankful to him every time we look at the photos. One of our wedding party summed it up the best when he saw a shot of himself on the dance floor: “Hot damn! Your photographer deserves a bonus.”

My husband and I hired Mike as our photographer for our March 2022 wedding. From start to finish, we loved working with him! Mike is friendly, responsive, easy to work with, professional, and very talented. He made sure to stay in contact in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and was key in developing our timeline and shot list, adhering to our requests at every point. We especially appreciated him working with our huge families to capture indoor portraits following the ceremony and persevering through strong wind, rain, and snow to capture the moments we wanted as well as lots of candids. He worked well with our other vendors!

We decided to work with Mike after seeing his work online. We made a GREAT decision. He’s responsive, an awesome listener, kind, professional and a strong coach in his guidance. Our photos are stunning!! I get compliments on them everywhere I go. Thank you @Mike for creating memories with us we’ll cherish for a lifetime! ♥️

Mike takes amazing candid pictures that captured the best moments of my wedding perfectly. He is creative and super easy to work with. Highly recommend!

We chose Mike Buscher to capture the special moments on our wedding day and he didn't disappoint. Mike has a great eye and finds unique spots that create a beautiful backdrop for your pictures. He is professional, responsive and strikes the right balance between the more formal posed pictures and the candid shots that truly capture the spirit of the day. Thank you Mike for the beautiful memories!

Mike is an incredible photographer and we couldn’t be happier that he was the one capturing all of our special moments. He operated in “stealth” mode throughout the day, ensuring that he was never creating any distraction from the memory-making in progress. It was such a happy surprise to be packing for our honeymoon and receive the email that our photos were ready that same weekend! We had so much fun viewing them together and then later with our families. Mike captured all the emotion of the day beautifully and we could not be more grateful that we have these photos to remember one of the most special times of our life. We would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Mike!

Mike was incredible to work with. We had the opportunity to work with him for our engagement pictures and wedding photographs. He is easygoing and extremely talented. Mike made us comfortable and our pictures are all the much better for it. Our wedding pictures were edited and sent to us within 1 week of our wedding!!! Our engagement pictures were equally fast. I am so thrilled with how all of the pictures came out. I cannot say enough positive things about Mike, and his team. He is a must book.

Mike was amazing. He was laid back and really made us feel comfortable. His pictures were great and he had a very quick turn around for getting them back to us.

I'm so happy that Mike was our photographer and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone! He was very responsive in emails/text from the beginning till the end and the ONLY photographer that would talk to me on the phone when first acquiring. His personality and his enthusiasm for photography lead me to choose him as the perfect photographer for my days. Mike had been very flexible with our decisions changing from a wedding to an elopement/adventure in Alaska. Mike was very opened about the idea that we even brought Mike out to photograph our Alaska elopement/adventure. Mike had so many great ideas that we even hiked to the top of the mountain for the most beautiful and unforgettable photos and the GLACIERS! We even ended up still having our covid-wedding/celebration that Mike photographed as well back home in MD. Photos did not take a long time to get back. I still cannot get over how all the photos turn out!

Using Mike Buscher Photography was hands down the best decision I feel we could have made for our wedding day. Mike and his team are very professional and respectful in every aspect. They have a very transparent, honest, trustworthy business, they dress very clean for more formal events, and they are extremely punctual with great attention to detail. I got married in a local church that had cross shaped windows on the door, and Mike, with his artistic eye, during the rehearsal, envisioned taking a photo through those windows of my soon-to-be husband and I up on the platform saying our vows, and the next day during our ceremony he took the most incredible photo we have ever seen (photo attached to this review, of course)! My husband and I had our wedding on March 14, 2020, and we received ALL our photos back on March 24, 2020. We received a few photos before the entire gallery was available, which was very exciting; the turnaround time was exceptionally quick for the quality and quantity, whereas I've seen other couples wait months up to a year for subpar photos. We received 734 photos in total (that's with two photographers), and it was hard to pick any to leave out of our wedding album when we were having one made, I can only imagine Mike was even more selective when choosing which ones to share with us - the number was probably originally in the thousands! Communicating with Mike and his team was a very easy, straightforward process. Before the wedding he had us provide him with things that were important for us to be in the pictures, even attaching a few photos in a Word document, and were very pleased with the results. I was surprised after our wedding to find out so many other brides and grooms had such negative experiences with their wedding photographers over things such as pictures turning out blurry, missing photo opportunities with their family they had completely forgotten about due to all the craziness that surrounds the wedding day, to things like having to pay more money on top of the photographer fee simply to own rights to their own photos or having watermarks! With Mike Buscher Photography, you can rest at ease knowing you won't have any of those problems. All of those 734 photos we received were very crisp; he suggested ahead of time several popular wedding poses with family members and those in the wedding party so we wouldn't regret it later; he prints out the complete agreed upon list and checks them off throughout the day to ensure you get all those photos (even the ones you would never think you would forget about but you do!), and he gives you full rights to YOUR wedding photos, without any watermarks or anything to take away from the beautiful, priceless moments. Originally we were only going to pay for Mike to be the photographer, but ultimately decided to add one more photographer from his team because there were some photos I wanted from the bridal party getting ready and some I wanted exclusively from the groom getting ready. In the end, I couldn't be happier about this decision. Two wedding photographers allow you to get both angles, the bride and the groom's view, while you are saying your vows without the photographer having to run back and forth. It allows the photographer more time to focus on the quality and lighting, and more photos to look back on in awe of the day that slipped away in the blink of an eye, especially at the reception when there's so much to see (my husband and I were looking back LAUGHING at some of the things our friends and family did which we would have never known otherwise, and that they probably wouldn't have remembered)! Mike works extremely well with his team and remained focused the entire night. At the reception they were always accessible for photo ops that presented themselves as spur of the moment opportunities. I know I have written a lot so far, but if you get nothing else from the review I hope you get this: If you want wedding photos you will cherish for more than a lifetime, photos you can hand down to your children and their grandchildren, that have exceptional quality, breathtaking poses, and fond memories, go with Mike Buscher Photography. There was nothing we could have changed nor nothing more we could have asked for. It was stress-free, worry free, and magnificent. Even after getting married I find myself following him on social media sites like Facebook and Instagram to see all the beautiful moments he continues to capture. For those who are still planning their wedding and have a higher budget to work with, check out his photo shoot of the wedding a couple had in Alaska with Alaska Helicopter Tours, they're magical and are so beautiful you will get goosebumps! :)
