Adam’s photography is amazing! His photos are absolutely beautiful and timeless! He’s great to work with and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera! First, he took our engagement photos and I had to cancel day of for a medical emergency and he was so easy going and willing to reschedule! Those pictures made us confident our wedding ones would be great! Then came covid and we had to postpone our big wedding, but we had Adam capture an intimate wedding with close family. He was there for us every step of the way! We are so in love with every single photo from our wedding! We truly cannot find one that isn’t just beautiful. I love that his photos are classic and timeless. We will look back at these in 20 years and they will still be just as beautiful! Thank you, Adam! -

Highly Recommend!
We had Adam as our wedding photographer with Jade as a second shooter, and it was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! Adam did an engagement photoshoot with us as well, which was a great way to kickstart everything. We can both be a little awkward for photos, but Adam did such a great job giving us direction, and getting amazing shots for us. During the wedding planning process, he helped us put together a wedding day timeline. Trust me, your wedding day is one hectic, chaotic day, and it was so helpful to have Adam there to keep us on track time wise. He also made sure to ask us beforehand if there were any specific shots we wanted to get (either with certain people or in certain poses), to make sure he was prioritizing our needs, and ensure he had what he needed to deliver us photos that we would love. (and he did!) There are so many great photos we have from this day, and we absolutely love them. Choosing a photographer for us was our most important vendor hire. They preserve the day in photos that you will cherish for the rest of your life. We could not be happier with the decision that we made going with Adam! -

My fiancé Michael and I had a one hour engagement photo shoot with Adam. We loved it! Adam is very professional and has a very relaxed manner. Our photos turned out stunning. We are so glad we chose Adam to do our photos. He is extremely talented. -

Adam is a fantastic photographer. The quality of his photos are technically sound and artistically executed. Adam and his team were wonderful at communicating, flexible, easy to talk to, and timely. Adam enhanced our wedding day with creativity, which wowed us when looking through all our photos! Highly recommend doesn't even begin to explain how happy we were with him and his team! -

We had Adam take our engagement photos in October and thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with him. We absolutely recommend him for your shoot!
Before settling on a photographer, we had a phone call with Adam and exchanged a few emails; we found him to be very responsive, he took the time to explain the entire process to us, and also helped us decide on our shoot locations. We decided to move forward with him as a result.
On the day of the shoot, Adam created a comfortable atmosphere, bringing music to the shoot and guided us through the session. My partner and I are both a bit camera shy, so this helped us relax and allowed us to be ourselves in front of the camera. He provided direction to help us pose, and also created scenarios to capture more candid shots. Adam was also well-prepared, bringing props for us to use and an umbrella for the fall rain.
We received our photos almost exactly one month later, and are absolutely thrilled with the results! The quality of the photos are outstanding (well shot, great lighting, great use of depth of field); it is clear that Adam is extremely talented, and we could not be happier with our photos.
Definitely consider Adam for your photoshoot! -

Adam and his business partner Jade were absolutely incredible at our wedding! We had a VERY large wedding party (13 on each side) which can be difficult to manage, but to them, it was no problem! We ended up with the most epic and incredible photos and they kept everyone moving along while having a blast on the big day.
Adam and Jade are incredibly professional and talented and took gorgeous photos all day and late, well into the evening. Not only that, but they edited a large amount of photos (I think at least 50+) for our "sneak peaks" which we had 2 days after the wedding day, we were shocked!
We truly cannot recommend them more for your big day. Photos are such an important part of remembering such a beautiful moment forever, and I will always be grateful for their dedication and the care they brought to our wedding day. Truly 10/10!! -

Outstanding experience!
Adam was absolutely amazing from start to finish. My wife and I didn’t think we were very photogenic but Adam made it so simple and easy to get the best shots for our wedding and engagement photos. His professionalism and flexibility was top tier! You’d be lucky to have him do your special day! -

Adam and his team truly exceeded our expectations. During the engagement photo session, Adam created an atmosphere that made us feel at ease, allowing us to enjoy the process and have some fun while capturing beautiful moments.
The wedding day was nothing short of spectacular. Adam and Jade orchestrated the bridal party photos with precision, taking charge when necessary and demonstrating impeccable preparation. Throughout the event, it felt like they were everywhere, capturing every significant moment. They both stayed for our entire reception which blew out guests away as many of them told us they had never seen that before! Their ability to engage with our guests added an extra layer of magic to the entire experience.
When we received the photos, we were blown away. They managed to capture moments we hadn't even realized occurred, preserving all the essential emotions and memories of the day and into the evening. The photos are not only stunning but have also received enthusiastic praise from everyone we've shared them with. In summary, it was an exceptional experience with exceptional photographers who produced beautiful images—truly remarkable individuals!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! -

Adam was the best photographer we didn’t know we needed for our wedding. We went into the wedding planning process looking for a photographer that had great photos and Adam immediately stood out to us. We were unaware of the considerations we needed to pay attention to in selecting our wedding photographer and Adam walked us through what to expect, the purpose of an engagement shoot, print rights, and how to start thinking about our timeline. We did an engagement shoot with Adam and he taught us poses we could use for our wedding photos and recommended locations for great photos. We got our engagement photos back quickly and were able to use them for our wedding invitations. On the wedding day Adam and Jade were great at leading our large wedding party and family to make sure we got all the photos we wanted and kept on schedule. Adam was familiar with our venue and had some great ideas for photo locations. We booked him for unlimited time and were so glad we did because we got some great photos outside in the dark and have lots of photos of our guests having a great time which we wouldn’t have gotten if we didn’t book him for the whole night. He got back our photos to us as expected, he first sent some highlights for us to see and later sent the remaining edited photos to us. He gave us all photos in edited in color and black and white. -

Emily L. Sent on 07/28/2023Relaxed, Flexible and captures moments of your personalities
Adam Michaels and Jade were an absolute joy to work with for our July wedding. First, we had an engagement shoot while I was nervous (haven't had professional photos done prior) both Adam and Jade were able to communicate what we should do. They were personable, asked us about us, and got to know us better in order to tailor the shoot to what we wanted and what we were willing to do. They were able to send our photos in a very quick turnaround which was awesome to see as well. We were blown away by the shots.
Then we had the wedding. Adam and Jade arrived early at the venue to scope out places for shots and ideas- they hadn't seen it before. They captured the 'lay flat' items and got getting ready photos of bridesmaids getting ready in the AM. They captured the groomsman arriving at their location and getting ready photos (serious and funny ones). They were there at each of the 'moments' capturing photos and yet they were not in the way of it being just us. They suggest ideas but are also flexible in adapting to what you want/are able/can do (ie wearing a dress is restricting). They are extremely easy to work with and even played music while getting photos to let you loosen up and have your personality shine. They were able to get a sneak peek to us very quickly which was WAY more than the 20 photos I was expecting- I was super impressed and the photos again are amazing.
It wasn't how my husband and I looked or how aglow we were on our day (it is our wedding after all) or how beautiful the background or the venue's beauty were- all those are amazing wherever you get married. Adam and Jade captured that beauty but they 'read' me and my husband well and are so talented in capturing the special moments with your feelings and personalities and expressions in the moment all at the same time. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. -

Adam was one of the first recommendations we received from our wedding planner, and after checking out some of his work and reviews, it was easy to see why.
Besides being extremely responsive and easy to work with, Adam excelled at providing guidance for shots while remaining laid back, keeping us stress free throughout our engagement shoot and wedding day. We had a few particular photos in mind, and he understood our vision, capturing all of them better than we could’ve imagined, but we trusted in his experience for most of our posed shots and that made things very easy on us. One specific note on Adam as a professional- he truly wants you to get great photos that you’ll be proud of. The day before our wedding, after our entire timeline had been planned, our neighbors presented us a photo op that we didn’t want to turn down. Adam quickly provided our planner with a way to make it happen without taking away from anything else in our schedule.
We ultimately chose Adam to be our photographer because we thought his photos in natural light were outstanding, and we wanted to remember our wedding day as it was. He exceeded our high expectations- capturing moments that otherwise might’ve been forgotten and providing us with an insane number of photos. Bonus points for being a blast to work with. Don’t second guess it. Hire Adam immediately if he’s available for your wedding. -

I want to start by saying Adam is the ABSOLUTE BEST and was by far one of our favorite vendors.
When we were searching for photographers for our engagement pictures and our July 2023 wedding we came across Adam Michaels’ pictures that he had taken from previous weddings…and wow they were stunning, creative, and exactly the type of photos we wanted.
We met with him and about 3 other photographers via phone. Instantly when we were speaking with Adam we felt a connection with him because he was so easy to talk to and was able to see what type of vision we wanted for our pictures.
During our engagement session:
He was so flexible because we ended up rescheduling several times due to weather. He also took his time and shot many photos at two different locations for us (Frick Park and The Terminal at the Strip District).
Adam made us feel comfortable and was very specific on what he wanted us to do.
He listened to any suggestions we had or any ideas we had for different shots.
He sent over a few sneak peek pictures so that we could get a head start on sending our save the dates out.
Leading up to the wedding:
Adam and (his sister- Jade who is in charge of scheduling for Adam) were very quick to answer any questions we had and helped us find other amazing vendors.
A month before the wedding, Adam helped us put together a timeline for the day of the wedding. (He did such a great job sticking to the timeline and made the most of any time throughout the day and night to get pictures that we wanted; sunset, field photos, etc.)
On the day of our wedding:
We had Adam and Jade as a second photographer (we were amazingly lucky to have Jade as a second photographer because she was also so creative, her pictures and detail shots were equally stunning)
Adam not only made us feel comfortable but SO many of our guests commented on how efficient he was, organized he was, and how personable he was. Even weeks later, our families could not stop talking about how amazing Adam was.
He was basically everywhere throughout the day/night in order to get those “in the moment” shots…Adam did not mind when we grabbed him to take a picture of certain groups that may have not been on the shot list.
He worked very well with our Videographer (who he recommended to us), Bobby Bridges from Bridge Perspective.
Throughout the day, Adam did not look flustered or stressed at all. He was so calm and professional and that made us very calm and able to be in the moment with everything.
ALL of his pictures he took (engagement and wedding were done and sent to us very quickly- some were even sent to us days later!!!)
Overall, Adam Michaels was by far our favorite vendor and we could not have been more pleased with how all of the pictures turned out. We highly recommend Adam if you want someone who is creative, flexible, personable, organized, and efficient.
Thank you, Adam and Jade! -

Amazing To Work With
Adam was an amazing person to work with all around. We could not be happier with our photos or with our experience working with him. He is prompt, organized, and so personable. He took so much stress and pressure off of taking photos with his clear directions for posing and by scouting out all of the beautiful locations at our venue. Adam and his team were fun, friendly, and thorough which led to amazing pictures to look through and remember our special day. We are so grateful to have worked with him and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer in the Pittsburgh area! -
