About

With over 10 years experience my primary goal is to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed while I quietly capture the most enchanting moments of your special occasion. One of the reasons you hire a professional photographer is to insure the very best moments are not only captured, but archived, processed, edited, enhanced, and distributed with great care and attention to every detail.

For each hour of on location capture my price includes all editing, sizing and processing and as a bonus I will include “light touch” airbrushing on some of the very best photos. For each hour of on site capture all editing can take up to 3 or more hours which is already built into the price. My prices start as low as $210.00 for the first hour and then drop down in lower price increments thereafter. Please contact me for a price list whether for a special event, party, wedding or reception. Also please ask about my very popular 1 hour “on strip photo-limo tour” to include a beautiful stretch limo, chauffer, photographer, and all image editing starting at only $285.00. An absolutely stellar deal!

A little more about me:

I was born and raised in Southern California and come from a very creative family. My father was a singer-composer who also worked in the marketing department at Capitol Records. My mother worked as a photographer and a wedding coordinator and to this day still books weddings in Las Vegas. I first started working with print photography way back in high school and truly miss the days of placing that photo paper in print solution and watching the images come alive!! Later I worked in Hollywood as a studio drummer for various record companies such as Warner Bros., MCA, CBS and others. Soon thereafter, once again, I became fascinated with taking still photos to include head shots, modeling and glamour images, portraits, landscapes, architecture design and buildings, wedding and reception capture, low and natural light settings, street action shots, and stock commercial photography. While signed to Warner Bros. as an artist I also helped create and design album covers working side by side with some of the very best graphic artists in the business. The 21st century has brought enhancement software such as Photoshop and Corel to the table along with an amazing selection of professional grade EOS digital cameras I get to utilize. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

We hired Mike to do our after party wedding photography so he could take pictures of us and the wedding guests around the Vegas strip and Old Vegas Mike knew perfect scenic spots to get pictures. We had a blast with him on our party bus. Very responsive and fun photographer!

Mike was great to work with!!! He always returned phone calls very promptly, he was very professional, and easy to work with. We did a strip photo tour after my Las Vegas wedding in March. I received my pictures very quickly (about a week), they all looked fantastic, and we're very easy to download. I absolutely recommend Mike!!!!

Mike was Awesome!! He made our wedding experience fun and easy going, he captured pictures of us all around our hotel and down by the strip! We had so many laughs and we enjoyed every minute of it. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to photography for whatever occasion. He had great ideas for where to take pictures and was open to all of our suggestions as well, very flexible with time and he also sent us some thumbnails of the pictures he did the next day. Thank you Mike for a memorable time!

Mike is a professional photographer that listens to what you want and can also provide guidance when needed. He captured all the special moments that we wanted and showed us some we didn't know had happened. He helped make our wedding very special.

Mike was a pleasure to work with. He provided an excellent and affordable service, which he adapted to suit our needs. When we initially contacted Mike, he provided us with various options and advice which helped us to create our perfect Vegas wedding! On the day he was very professional and easy to work with, meeting all of our needs. His photographs are wonderful and of a high standard. We are glad we chose Mike to capture our special day, and would recommend him to any/everyone.

Mike was absolutely awesome. We did a 2.5 hour limo photo tour on the Las Vegas strip after our wedding. Mike took us to numerous spots to take photos and capture our Vegas Wedding in style. We made at least 8 to 10 stops during the 2.5 hours. The quality of the photos are unbelievable -- I can't say that there was one bad photo taken. If you are planning a Vegas wedding or special occasion, I would highly recommend contacting Mike Graves to schedule a limo photo tour.

We felt like movie stars walking around in Las Vegas in our wedding attire, but Mike Graves made us look like movie stars. Our photos are simply stunning! He arranged a limo and took us around to some great spots for family wedding photos. He was very clever in getting in some difficult areas quickly and easily, very much appreciated. It was an amazing experience to see Las Vegas and he captured these special moments with my family. He was so attentive from start to finish and extremely personable. He was great fun to spend an evening with, sharing his “Las Vegas”. We are so pleased with our photos and our memories. We highly recommend Mike to capture a truly Las Vegas experience!

What can I say, I booked Mike Graves nearly a year in advance due to the wedding being on NYE in Las Vegas, one of the most popular dates to be married and boy I'm glad I did.

I honestly believe that I had the Best Wedding photographer in Vegas, from the initial booking right through the photography and receiving the pictures Mike has shown so much professionalism and is so courteous and approachable he puts you at ease and makes you feel like you've known him for years.

I am in the UK and thought it would be an absolute nightmare trying to arrange photographs and Mike made it so easy, he is very easy to get on with and Listens to what you want, not assumes which is great meaning you get exactly what you want he is also very creative in his work, his photographs are out of this world and he makes it look so easy, he knows how to use a camera and brings out the best in you! Would I recommend Mike Graves Photography? Yes I most defiantly would (I'm very fussy and not one picture of the 88 he took of us can I fault everyone is perfect, That takes some beating!) If you are looking at photographers at the moment STOP you just found him, you wont regret it!
