About

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION IS IMPORTANT TO US, BECAUSE YOU’RE IMPORTANT TO US

At Shane Michael Studios we care about your experience. We care about the emotion, the visceral joy behind your smiles, and the heartfelt memories. Whether it’s your wedding day, family photography session, or memorializing your graduating child with a senior photoshoot, we are there WITH YOU through it all, while keeping our promise in capturing the timelessness YOU want to see. From romance, laughter, joy, and tears – we have it covered so you can be in the moment with full faith your memories are in the hands of true professionals, who are not boring, ever…. at all…. in any way!

We fully support and celebrate all weddings, families, and disabilities. We believe love is love no matter what gender, race, or religion, and we are fully adaptable in working with any phase or societal abnormalities life may have granted.

It’s not just about taking photos, it’s about being patient, creative, and thinking on the spot. It’s about going above and beyond to be whatever is needed; a counselor, wedding planner, photographer, friend, dabbing at the happy tears on a bride’s face so she doesn’t smear her makeup, helping when things go amiss, and just being understanding. It’s about being there to experience the joy of a new journey and making a lasting impression that makes you feel like you’re a part of the family!

With Shane Michael Studios the moments are yours to keep, but the memories are ours to share.

Rockstar Photographers

Easily the best decision when planning my wedding was booking Shane Michaels! He made everything so easy throughout the planning process and the actual event. I heard from so many of my guests how awesome he and all his staff were, from the second shooter, the videographer and the photo booth. He always made me feel relaxed throughout both our engagement shoot and our wedding. I couldn’t recommend him enough on just that alone, but the quality of our photos are amazing and then the value of his wedding packages just puts it over the top. We have found our photographer for life!

Absolutley amazing!

Shane and his crew were the best! From day one to the wedding day even now! I couldn't have found a better person to capture our wedding. Shane has became such a big part of our family. He was always there to make sure everything went 100 percent amazing. When booking a photographer I was nervous, I wanted someone who was going to fit in and make us feel comfortable well needless to say he went 1000000 percent beyond that! I will never use anyone else for our family photos or our future childrens photos... Shane your stuck with us for life! We love you, your wife and your crew!! Thank you!

Very professional and was great with the little ones.

We scheduled a family session and were wanting it outside. Just a few days before our scheduled session the weather was not looking good for outdoors. Shane was so accommodating with time and place to take our pictures. We took them inside and they never missed a beat.

Wedding 4/20/2019

We have used Shane as our photographer for everything but most importantly our wedding day. He was always quick to respond, had a million amazing ideas for pictures, helped us with our itinerary for the day of, just everything about him was perfect. I didn't worry about anything. Shane was our counselor, photographer, crisis solver. Always calm, never had to leave a message. I have recommended to him everyone I know and will continue to do so.

Shane was great to work with. He was extremely friendly to all our wedding party and guests. The only thing I wish I had done was have him take photos of just me alone in my gown and also photos of myself and my husband looking at the camera more.
