About

Someday my daughter will get married...

I wrote that introduction sentence back when my daughter was three years old. She's much older now and I still have time before that day ever arrives! But she's always in the back of my mind when I'm taking pictures of a father-daughter dance and I can't help but imagine the day I get to celebrate her own wedding. Those moments are so amazing, and not just a father-daughter dance, but the mother-son, the first look, the wedding party photos, the first kiss and friends going crazy on the dance floor.

I've photographed over 200 weddings now and it's such a joy to be there for people on one of the biggest and most important days of their lives.

Would love to hear from you about your own event and how I could help capture it for you!

Amazing work

Mike's work is incredible. Had a friend who was a part of a wedding he photographed and she just loved his work! Would certainly recommend this amazing photographer to any future brides.

Look No Further, You've Found Your Photographer!

Mike is an amazing photographer and SUCH a fun person to work with. I got the chance to work with Mike at a wedding this past weekend. Even just a sneak peek of the images on his camera screen made my jaw drop! The way he is able to capture light and movement is astounding (But not surprising considering he photographs lightning! Yes - he's a storm chaser!!) If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding day, you've found him! Book Mike!!

Stunning Photography!

Loved working with Mike and Courtney at a recent wedding. They both were extremely kind and so very talented! I viewed some of the unedited photos Mike had taken during the ceremony that quite literally gave me goosebumps! Such amazing work!

Absolutely Amazing!

My now-wife and I could not be more pleased with our experience with Mike. From the moment we first connected, to our engagement shoot, to our pivot to an elopement in Sedona, Mike was communicative, flexible, creative, and an all around joy. And the final product is AMAZING. 

Mike is really the best photographer we could have ever asked for. He made us feel relaxed and loose in front of the camera, and it really shows in the photos. 100% recommend to everyone!!

Greatest of ALL time!

I just got married last month, and I can not sing Mike's praises any louder!! He was absolutely amazing! He caught every single, minute detail of our special day and turned them into such precious moments on film that I will cherish forever! And SUPER bonus, he is a storm chaser as well!! We had a gorgeous sunset and cloud formation right after our ceremony and there are just no words for the pictures he captured of us! PURE ART! I don't think I will have anymore wall space for all the pictures I want printed! Not only is he talented, but he is an absolute joy to work with! His wife was there to help as well and was equally as lovely! It was so fun working with them all day! Don't waste anymore time looking for a photographer, this guy is THE REAL DEAL! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Speechless

Ugh, we were so happy that we hired Mike to photograph our wedding. The best decision that we could've made to really document our wedding. We contacted 6-7 photographers and we liked Mike's portfolio but we loved how he was the easiest person to talk to and feel comfortable with in 60 minutes.

We ended up booking him two years in advance and had our engagement pictures done a year and a half before our wedding. This was our first time working with Mike and it was such a great experience. We met him up in Sedona and we took our time going up to Merry-go-Round Rock. The pictures looked absolutely epic and it was just a fun time being out there with Mike.

For our wedding, Mike came with a second shooter (Aaron) and they were both with us for 9 hours for getting ready, ceremony, portraits, and the reception. It was great having two shooters as we got ready in separate locations so each of us had a photographer with us. Also, in our photos we had a lot candid reaction pictures as we had two different perspectives from having two shooters. Both Mike and Aaron were great to work with and they stayed unobtrusive during our Church wedding. Mike was also great in posing us for our portraits and showing us a great tunnel spot to take some dramatic pictures with our wedding party.

Our wedding was perfect and we can't thank Mike enough for helping us create and remember some of our best memories.

The absolute best!

This review is long overdue, but I couldn't more highly recommend Mike Olbinski for wedding photography. My husband and I are based in the Bay Area and weren't as familiar with the Scottsdale market, but we are so pleased our wedding planners pointed us in Mike's direction. We had unexpected, HEAVY rain on our wedding day that ended just before our ceremony, but Mike was still able to absolutely nail our pictures and take advantage of incredible lighting. We could not be happier with the final product. To top it off, Mike's just a lovely person - Mike and his team are so pleasant, and certainly a crew I'd want around on any special day. Thank you so much, Mike!
