Magical experience from start to finish!

Michael is truly a wonder! I cannot tell you how many photographers' work we looked at before we found Michael. When we spoke to him, we knew he was the right person for the job, and he truly was. Not only is he a rare talent as a photographer, but he is also so thoughtful, kind and dedicated. He cares about his clients and his work and that comes across. He was a pleasure to have follow us around both at our engagement shoot and on the weekend of the wedding, and we are over the moon with our photos. We got married outside and he captured the surroundings (and the people) so beautifully. We will treasure Michael's photos for the rest of our lives!!!! If you're on the fence about wedding photographers, work with Michael and you won't have any regrets! Especially if you're having an outdoor wedding. He's so good at finding the beauty in the small things in nature that other people don't see.

Stunning photographs!

I highly recommend working with Wonder Tribe for your wedding photography. Our friends recommended working with Michael and it was the best decision we made. Michael and Marco are incredibly nice and patient. They made us very comfortable and it felt like we were hanging out with friends while taking pictures. The results were stunning for both our engagement and wedding pictures. We are absolutely delighted. Thank you Michael and Marco for your amazing work!

Amazing Experience From First Call to Wedding Day

Michael and Marco are such amazing professionals from first call to our wedding day. We hired Wonder Tribe because we loved the warm way they captured the happy couple and celebrants in their galleries, carrying a timeless feel rather than something too artsy/off the beaten path. Considering how happy we were with their previous work, my wife and I only fell more in love with them as we actually got to work with them on our own wedding. Michael's warm personality and focus on capturing natural moments in our relationship was evident throughout every planning call and our engagement photos. We received a sneak peak gallery within 2 weeks and a full gallery in a month with so many amazing shots.

On our wedding day, not only did Michael and Marco coordinate all the shots we wanted to capture they also helped keep us sane all day. Being there for the most intimate moments of preparations, first look, and everything that followed, their ability to manage a stressed couple was unparalleled. They were everything and more we wanted from our wedding photographers.

I highly receommed!

As a local wedding planner I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Michael at WonderTribe for many years now. He is always beyond easy to work with, organized, reliable and our client's love his calm demeaner! And his work....OMG it's so good! I'm such a fan of his style! He's the overall package!!

For the last few years, we have hired him to do our family photos. I was blown away being the "client"; he was ever more amazing than I knew! Such patience, such vision, such an artist. He has captured memories and images I will cherish forever! We are so grateful that he has shared his talents with our family. Thank you, Michael, we love you!!

Talented, professional & easy to work with! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We can't say enough fabulous things about Michael! Michael has now shot my sister's wedding, my brother in law's sister's wedding, and we booked him for our proposal and wedding. There's a reason we keep coming back for more. He's highly professional, incredibly talented, easy to work with, flexible, and has incredible attention to detail. Michael feels like a part of our family now and we are so grateful he's shared his talents with us over and over again. Thank you, Michael!

Warm, glowing, beautiful photos

Working with Michael was a dream! He made us feel comfortable and look natural in front of the camera which was not an easy feat. Our engagement photos are beyond gorgeous and we are DYING to see the full wedding album after checking out the sneak peek album. Beautiful work, great attitude, Michael was a true pleasure to work with!

Professional, approachable, hard-working, wonderful

Michael of Wonder Tribe was by far our favorite vendor to work with! We hired him after seeing him in action at my best friend's wedding. He has an incredibly positive attitude and is completely professional while still being warm and approachable. For our wedding, he honored all of our input and ideas and took the most beautiful photos of our big day. We chose to have a second photographer to assist Michael, and it was definitely the right choice. Vin and Michael were conscientious to get photos of all of the family members and groups that we requested, and all the details that we worked so hard to put together for our big day. The candid photos of the reception are some of our favorites, but our couple's photos are gorgeous and better than we could have hoped for. We highly recommend Wonder Tribe and would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Michael is so talented, so professional and so fun to be around! When we first met him, we instantly knew he was the perfect photographer for our big day. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Michael reassured us, got us to let loose and feel at ease with him at our engagement session. Come wedding day, Michael was the most familiar face out of all of our vendors which really calmed both my husband and I's nerves while getting ready. Aside from being one of the nicest people we know, he is so extremely talented! His attention to detail and lighting is amazing.
We've only just gotten a sneak peak from him of our wedding day but we are melting over them. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought our pictures would come out this great.

If you are looking for a photographer, look no further. Michael is THE most skilled, dependable, courteous, comfortable, caring, and talented photographer you will ever meet. He has such a big heart and really puts his all into every photo he takes. His shots are creative and elegant, and his experience and artistry is unmatchable.

My husband and I interviewed a handful of photographers, but once we met Michael we immediately knew he was the one. My husband has always hated photos, but Michael was able to completely change his perception. By the end of our engagement shoot, we were all smiling and laughing and couldn't wait to get together again.

Choosing your photographer is probably one of the most important decisions you make on your wedding day. Your photographer will be there capturing the day's worth of events--whether it be first look, vows, or first dance. You want to make sure you can trust them, are comfortable with them, and can consider them as one of your closest friends. Michael is all of these but more, and my husband and I am more grateful than ever to share our wedding day with him.

We saw right away from the photos on the Wonder Tribe website that Michael's gorgeous wedding photography was exactly what we were looking for. When we spoke on the phone, we clicked right away with Michael's personality and style, and he made the whole process incredibly smooth and easy. From our fun engagement shoot to our wedding day, Michael's energy made us feel so confident and comfortable, even though we don't usually feel at home in front of a camera! His kindness and calm helped us relax and feel taken care of, while his stunning photography perfectly captured our beautiful venue, the special details, and all the love and light on our big day. Michael is a lovely human being, and we couldn't have imagined having worked with anyone else. We highly recommend this wonderful, talented photographer!

Sincerely,
Grant and Caitlin
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Beautiful wedding photography from Michael - not only did he capture great emotion, he captured some stunning photos of the bride and groom in our golf course setting. Very punctual and thorough, our bride and groom loved him and felt very comfortable working with him which is an important part as that interaction produces great results! Looking forward to working with Wonder Tribe Weddings again!
