Best Decision We Made

We hired Mike for our wedding in May 2026 and it was perhaps the best decision we made in the entire process. He totally set the tone for the day. You spend more time with your photographer than almost anyone else on your wedding day, and we’re so glad we got to spend it with Mike. We did a first look / took photos before our ceremony (upstairs in the Portrait Gallery in DC ) The photos came out fantastic. Not only were they great, but my wife (still getting used to that word) and I couldn’t believe how much fun we had doing the poses. Mike curated an incredible vibe. Was so prepared for any weather. He did a great job of capturing candid moments and letting the wedding come to him, but was also excellent directing the flow of the room when the moment called for it.  Our families were very impressed with the efficiency of the family photos (and they came out great). Phenomenal guy and he did a phenomenal job, couldn’t imagine doing it without him. highly highly recommend. If you’re reading this I would absolutely contact Mike and set up a call .

Mike Sperlak Photography

We had an excellent time working with Mike for our wedding photography! Mike has a laid back, authentic, easygoing style that matched our personalities and photography needs perfectly. He posed us just enough to get great shots, but also found ways to capture hilarious and heartfelt candid moments. We got to be totally in the moment on our wedding day because we knew Mike would capture everything. I was also impressed at how quickly he got our photos back to us after the wedding, and I thought he was very fairly priced for how great his services were. Would definitely recommend!

Can't go wrong with Mike!

Mike was great to work with and easy to talk to. He seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at the wedding itself – by that, we mean that Mike seemed to always be at the right place at the right time to photograph every moment, but he was never in the way, nor did he pull us away from the day to document it. We felt that he was taking pictures of our wedding, not that we were getting married at his photoshoot!

We are not a regularly photographed couple, nor do we take up much space online, so it is fair to say we were difficult subjects! Still, Mike was quick with a joke and made us feel comfortable throughout the couple’s shoots (we did a first look), and was efficient with family photos during cocktail hour – we actually got to enjoy part of cocktail hour with our guests. Mike was game to be pulled aside for unplanned group photos and a sunset shoot.

Mike got about a dozen edited photos within less than a week of the wedding, which were really sweet to look back on at our honeymoon, and excellent to show people upon our return. The full set of approx. ~750 photos got to us two weeks after the wedding, beating his estimate of when they would get back to us. We were very pleased with the quality and variety of the photos! His online download platform for the photos was intuitive and easy to use.

Great pictures and wonderful to work with!

Mike was wonderful to work with for both our engagement session and wedding! He was very personable and made us feel at ease in front of the camera—plus, the photos turned out amazing. On our wedding day, Mike and his second shooter, Billy, were fantastic with our families. They brought such great energy, were professional throughout, and were genuinely enjoyable to have around. They captured both the big moments and the spontaneous ones beautifully. We’re so grateful—thank you, Mike!

Amazing photography!

We had an amazing experience with Mike for our wedding! I loved that he included an engagement photo shoot as part of the wedding package. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken before and this “practice” session truly enabled us to be relaxed and know what to expect on our wedding day. We knew we made the right decision hiring Mike after we got our engagement photos back, as they were amazing! On our wedding day, Mike arrived early and began scouting out the best locations to take our photos. He walked us through each pose and made our portraits feel fun! Our guests raved about how well he captured our wedding day. I highly recommend hiring Mike for your wedding!!

Best Photographer ever!

My favorite wedding vendor. Mike is awesome. He's so chill, fun, and creative, and was so great and easy to work with. He got my husband, who hates getting photographed, to enjoy the process and got some amazing photos! He included engagement photos with the price. I highly recommend doing that. It was nice to get to know Mike before the wedding, and it was fun! We just got our wedding preview photos back (he was so speedy) and they are gorgeous! Book Mike!

The Best of the Best

If you’re reading this review, congrats — you’ve come across the best wedding photographer on the east coast.

Mike was truly the best decision my husband and I could have possibly made. From the time of booking, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding and beyond, Mike was a dream. He’s chill, laid back, and funny, which is just icing on the cake considering he took the most incredible pictures I’ve ever seen. He made my husband and I so comfortable for our engagement shoot. He captured who we actually are as a couple — our real smiles and chemistry. He took his time with us and was endlessly patient.

On our wedding day, Mike was the calm in the storm. Perfectly on time, he kept us all on track with ease. He captured every single moment in a way that is so REAL, yet elevated and perfect. He had fun with us and was so creative, and the final product was better than I even dreamed. His second photographer, Billy, was also wonderful, talented and fun to be around.

I will recommend Mike Sperlak Photography until I am blue in the face.
