Amazing Wedding Photographer!!
My husband, Matt, and I are so thankful to Mike for perfectly capturing our wedding day! We are so appreciative that we have the most beautiful photos to treasure forever now that our big day has passed. We sincerely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
We first met Mike when he photographed our best friends’ wedding during the summer of 2018. We loved his positive work ethic that day, and were so impressed with their photos once we saw them! When we got engaged just a couple of months later we knew we wanted to hire Mike as our wedding photographer and thankfully he had that one date in September still available! From the start of our wedding planning process Mike was incredibly kind, communicative, flexible, easy-going, and seemed so excited to work with us, which really made us feel so comfortable. Our engagement session with Mike was so fun and easy! He was very helpful in suggesting some dates and times, as well as locations, and we were able to choose a location that was really meaningful to us. The photos he took that day were absolutely beautiful and he got them back to us in just a couple of weeks, which was amazing!
Prior to our wedding, we had numerous check ins with Mike to ensure we were all on the same page; we always felt like he was really listening to us and genuinely wanted to get a good sense of our ideas. The day of our wedding, Mike arrived early to our venue and checked right in with us about his plan. He has a very relaxed presence which made for a really fun ‘photo shoot’ throughout the day! He came prepared with our list of photo asks, along with some ideas of his own, based on what we had discussed during prior conversations. Throughout the whole day, Mike was all over capturing amazing nature photos, candids of our guests, photos of our venue details, and of course photos of us and our families and friends. Something noticed by both ourselves and our guests is that he was all over the place throughout our wedding and reception trying to capture as many moments and details as possible during the time he was with us that day; however, he was not in any way distracting or intrusive – this can’t be easy, but Mike does it very well! The day after our wedding, Mike sent our ‘sneak peek’ with a few photos (less than 24 hours after our wedding!) and they were absolutely beautiful! We were SO excited to get a sense of what he captured and were so excited to see the rest. He sent us our completed photo gallery within 3 weeks of our wedding, which seems to be almost unheard of in the wedding photography world. Mike truly understands the importance of getting photos edited and back to folks ASAP which was so nice from our perspective!
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our most important day. We are so pleased with Mike and his work, and we loved working with him over the past year or so. In our eyes, he is everything you’d want in a wedding photographer; communicative, reliable, detailed, creative, personable, fair pricing, amazing quality, efficient, effective, and caring. He genuinely cares about making his brides/grooms happy and that was invaluable in our eyes.
Thank you again, Mike!
Matt & Katherine
