About

Who I am… I’m a photographer with a true passion and love for the art of photography and using it to tell the real story. I'm a passionate person who is head over heals in love with photography, my wife, two children, and electronic gizmos.

As a wedding photographer, I strive to capture every emotion of every wedding day in an creating and artistic manner. It’s my goal to collect a series of images that you will instantly connect with and that will be timeless in your family history. I hope that they will be enjoyed by generations to come.

Where I am… I am a Denver, Colorado-based photographer. However I am willing to travel just about anywhere in the state and even abroad if the call comes.

The gear… My primary digital camera is a Canon 50D. For weddings I usually us shoot with a Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens but I have several others.

Phenomenal

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only was he extremely prompt and responsive, he was funny, charming, and professional to boot. Mike captured all the moments that were important to me during our wedding plus many more! The quality of the photography and editing was phenomenal, and overall I would recommend Mike to ANYONE for their photo needs!

Mike Carrizales is an outstanding photographer! He photographed our wedding. When we received the photos, we were so impressed with the variety of shots Mike took from creative/artistic, to posed, to ones that were candid. As a bride, I truly appreciated all the pictures of décor and the room setting. These are many things that I did not necessarily notice being swept up with the whole day. It was nice to be able to experience my wedding again, seeing all these little details. Mike did an excellent job of taking the pictures we wanted. And I loved all the candid shots that caught those unexpected looks and moments. Our pictures are beautiful! Mike was truly professional and a pleasure to work with. We would recommend his services. Thank you again!!

Mike is the nicest photographer we spoke to when trying to find someone to do the pictures for our wedding. He is very accommodating, professional and went out of his way to travel and be a part of the event. I think the quality of his work reflects the fact he paid attention to what we, as the client wanted him to focus on. The pictures all came out lovely and personal and he didn't even bat an eye at the difficultly in wrangling a loud and rowdy wedding party. His turn around time was fast and his prices were very fair. I would book him again in a heartbeat!!

Mike is an amazing photographer, and I love every picture he took. He took one of a kind shots that you don't see from other photographers.
He was calm, always professional and took his time making sure the images were perfect. I will recommend Pixels by Mike to everyone, he made my special day even more perfect. He made everyone feel relaxed and our photos are amazing. We are very appreciative!

We had the pleasure of working with Mike at our wedding & we were deeply impressed with his professional demeanor. He smoothly coordinated with us throughout the entire wedding, as well as with the other vendors at the wedding too. This seamless teamwork really helped to make our wedding flow nicely and we appreciated that quality. He listened to the types of photos we wanted & produced beautiful & creative memories for us on our special day. When we look through them it really feels like we are reliving those moments all over again. Some photos can feel too coached and arranged. There were plenty of organic/free spirited photos throughout the night & the family/group shots that we wanted. He has a real talent for this delicate balance that truly captures the event. His prices were very affordable compared to others and his work is top quality too! My husband and I couldn't be happier that we made the right choice in a photographer for our wedding day. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a professional photographer who feels more like a friend of the family - Thanks for everything Mike!

We were so happy we chose Mike as our wedding photographer. He did an absolutely wonderful job from our first contact to the delivery of the photos. He was professional, friendly, easy to work with, and most importantly took fantastic photos that will remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives! :) We would hire him again in a heartbeat if we needed a photographer for another event. We would highly recommend Mike to be your photographer for your wedding or any other occasion you are celebrating.

Mike is an awesome photographer - the ultimate professional. We did our engagement shoot in Manitou Springs, and requested various outdoor and indoor shots. We spent 2 hours walking around the town, with Mike patiently taking many candid and posed pictures. He was very willing to listen to our ideas, even letting us take some of the pictures with our dog. He captured so many wonderful pictures, had some very unique and clever ideas for pictures, and did so with a very "hey-let's-try it" attitude. His photo-journalistic and artistic photography style made for some positively AMAZING pictures. We'll treasure them always. Professional, personable, flexible, and SO very easy to work with, choosing Pixels by Mike was the best wedding-vendor decision we made!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
