The Genuine Article

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Michael. He is professional, reliable, responsive... and just truly went above and beyond for our wedding. Michael even came to our lake house after the wedding to take photos with our family. He communicated every step of the way and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We couldn’t be happier with Michael and we are overwhelmingly pleased with our photos! We will use Michael for any photos we need in the future. We are so very happy that we selected Michael to capture our special day. He is FABULOUS!

Amazing from start to finish

To anyone needing pictures for any reason, let me try to tell you why Michael should be the first person you call. From the moment I first contacted Michael he was prompt in responding (something I appreciated more than he will ever understand), he remained in contact from the time we hired him to the day of our wedding to ensure he had a thorough understanding of my vision and to ensure he knew the most important things I wanted captured. I asked for our ceremony to be available on livestream for our friends and family who couldn’t attend in person, something he had not done before, but he took it upon himself to ask others how he could make this happen for us because he knew how important it was to us. When he arrived at Mountain Lake he came to my room, introduced himself and immediately got to work capturing the intimate moments I was fortunate enough to share with my daughters and my mom while we were getting ready for my special day!! He was kind, funny, engaging, spontaneous and most importantly he made certain I was completely at ease, he calmed me down more than once and constantly reassured me everything was going to be perfect…even during the moments I wasn’t feeling as confident as he was, his calm demeanor and caring heart put my worried mind at total ease!! He was a true godsend and I knew we had made the perfect choice in hiring him to be the one to capture for all eternity our wedding day!!
Michael, I don’t know what I would have done without you!! You will FOREVER be my first choice when I want a special event captured on camera!! Thank you seems grossly inadequate considering how far above and beyond you went for my husband Gregg and me but unfortunately those are the only words I have!! I pray God richly blesses you and you find favor in His eyes for being not only an amazing photographer but a genuinely amazing person!! Much love to you my friend…you truly are the greatest!!

A pleasure to work with

We had so much fun working with Michael, who really went out of his way to spend extra time at our sunset shoot, at the rehearsal, and before the ceremony! The photos are beautiful, and we will treasure them forever!

The best photographer!

Michael was the first vendor I booked after I booked our venue. He’s always available to talk to and gave us gorgeous engagement pictures as well as wedding pictures. We got about 500 engagement pictures, 500 rehearsal pictures and 2,000 wedding pictures! The teasers he posts on Instagram and Facebook are absolutely AMAZING! He’s an amazing human being and he made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you Michael for everything! It was such a pleasure working with you 💕

Great Experience!

I was looking for a last minute photographer to take photos of my best friend’s very small wedding ceremony as she had not made arrangements. Mike was referred by her officiant and was a wonderful suggestion! He went out of his way to make the day and photos so special for her and her now husband. I would recommend him to anyone!

Very personable, went above and beyond and quick turnaroud!

Michael came to us a reference from the officiant we found on Wedding Wire. After trying to get married three times, my husband and I decided to have a small intimate wedding. Unknowingly my best friend contacted my officiant who highly recommended Michael and boy did he go above and beyond. Michael extensively spoke with my best friend to see what type of flavor she thought the wedding pictures should be and when she became sick and was not able to make it to the wedding, Michael went above and beyond by picking up a flower bouquet for our wedding. He did his best to work with the family under the unique pandemic restrictions and provided pictures immediately. I highly recommend Michael if you want someone to help tell the story of your family, friends and loved ones through his pictures. Thank You Michael for going above and beyond and your very polite demeanor!!!

So glad we chose this photographer!!

Michael Keyes of Photographic Dreams took the most beautiful photos of my daughter's wedding! He captured the spirit and feeling of the day. The wedding photos, along with the portraits taken the following day at Mountain Lake, have made the most remarkable keepsake for both families.

Great experience with Michael, friendly and professional!

Michael with Photographic Dreams was excellent to work with. He really wanted our input on our pictures, (even from my extended family, he was very patient), and went above and beyond what I would of expected from a wedding photographer! I have received compliments that my wedding photos are the most beautiful many people have ever seen.

Quality Work!

My husband and I couldn’t be more happy that we selected Photographic Dreams to capture our wedding! Michael went above and beyond to make sure that he got wonderful pictures of our ceremony, wedding, and wedding parties and he was very patient and thorough throughout the process. He was very prompt in getting our pictures to us following our wedding and even sent us some sample enlarged photos! Highly recommend!

I recently officiated a wedding for which Michael provided his photographic services. He's pleasant and highly professional and his pictures are amazing. He does a very comprehensive and satisfying range of traditional shots and ones that are creatively interesting and aesthetically very pleasing. I was so impressed that I took a look at some of the other wedding work he's done. Big Wow! - Rev.Kanta Bosniak
