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! -

Where to even begin! My mom recommended Adam as our photographer for our engagement and wedding, best decision! My husband is camera shy and worried about the engagement shoot, but Adam did a great job at keeping us relaxed and our pictures were beautiful. During the wedding planning, Adam and Jade were able to give us direction and helped put together our wedding day timeline. As a stressed out bride and never having to plan out an entire day, this helped immensely. As most wedding days go, the day was extremely stressful! Having Adam and Jade there made the big day less stressful and they helped us relax in the midst of chaos. It was raining for most of my wedding day but Adam was able to find 20 minutes where the rain stopped. Thanks to him and Jade, I was able to get married outside and our ceremony was beautiful. They both go above and beyond! Best decision hiring Adam Michaels Photography. We even received our preview within a few days after our wedding, and then we received all the photos within the week. Thank you Adam and Jade for capturing our special day! -

Andre B. Sent on 09/18/2024Unforgettable Wedding Photography Experience with Adam Michaels Studio!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Adam Michaels Studio for my wedding, and I can’t recommend them enough! We chose the unlimited package which included unlimited time on our wedding day, two talented photographers, and an engagement session that truly exceeded our expectations.
The engagement session was a fantastic addition. It allowed my husband and I to get comfortable posing as a couple, which eased our nerves for the big day. Adam took the time to get to know us, and he made it fun and relaxed. It is always a struggle to capture my husband’s smile and Adam nailed it. By the end, we felt like we had a great rapport, and it was evident he genuinely cared about capturing our unique style.
On the wedding day, the unlimited time was a game-changer. There was no rush to get to the next location or worry about missing any special moments. Adam and his team captured every detail beautifully, from the getting ready, the intimate moments during the ceremony to the wild fun on the dance floor. We were so grateful that they were able to tell the entire story of our day through the pictures they captured.
We were also amazed by the quick turnaround time to receive our photos! It felt like no time at all before we had access to the gallery, and we were blown away by how natural and breathtaking the images turned out. Every shot perfectly captured our emotions and the essence of the day, leaving us with memories we will cherish forever.
Overall, Adam and his team are true professionals who not only have an incredible eye for detail but also know how to make you feel at ease in front of the camera. If you're looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond Adam Michaels Photography should be your pick! -

My wife and I are beyond happy that we picked Adam Michaels to photograph our small, intimate wedding at the Phipps, and would do so again in a heartbeat. If you are getting married at the Phipps (or really anywhere within 50 miles), pick Adam Michaels.
When we were choosing our photographer, we noted that Adam has 7 “Couples’ Choice Awards” on Wedding Wire, 269 5-star reviews on The Knot, and 256 5-star reviews on Google. These are well-deserved and undersell how amazing Adam is.
Adam and his partner, Jade, made us feel incredibly comfortable from the first time we talked with them to the first time that we met them in person, 15 minutes before the “first look” on our wedding day. On your wedding day, you will be nervous and anxious, but Jade and Adam were so friendly, professional, and just plain great (for more, see the write up in the Pittsburgh Tribune) that we were instantly put at ease (and this is reflected in the photos). Adam had a playlist, full of great songs, that helped us relax and feel at ease and it added a nice soundtrack to the photoshoot. Adam and Jade gave us the right amount of direction to ensure that not only were the photos composed perfectly but that we also looked our best in them. They also asked for our input on poses and where to take photos, which helped us realize what we wanted (realize in both senses of “making real” and “making aware of” and I appreciated that). The combination of their ability to make us comfortable and their tons of experience working weddings led to an amazing experience and fantastic photos.
My wife and I were absolutely shocked by how well all of the photos looked and how quickly Adam was able to return the photos to us. The photos are all beautifully composed and edited; we look like the best versions of ourselves in each of the 1,000 photos Adam gave us. Adam and Jade ensured that they got every picture that we asked for, and through their suggestions we got pictures that we didn’t know we wanted but now absolutely love and adore. Finally, there were no poorly composed or poorly cropped photos; he and Jade (who is also amazing, talented, professional, and great) never appear in the photos the other took and the photos are never slightly off center (when you look through some photographers’ galleries, you may notice that people are slightly out of place, including seeing the other photographer, but not Adam’s).
Bottom line: Go with Adam Michaels. -

Adam is truly the greatest wedding photographer of all time! It was such an honor to work with him, and have him capture our special day. From the moment we reached out, to the last song at our wedding, everything was perfect and then some.
He made us feel so comfortable when we were taking our engagement photos, and on our wedding day – he has a little speaker with the most fire playlist going to make things even more fun. His artistic eye and talent behind the camera absolutely wowed us – I cannot stop staring at every single photo he took. He captured the most special day of our lives so beautifully. His photos truly show every emotion we felt that day.
Adam was with us from the first parts of the morning while we were getting ready, until the last dance of the night, which is not something all wedding photographers do. He also captured pictures of practically every member of our family and all of our friends at our reception. He planned the timeline of the day for us perfectly – it’s basically like having a wedding planner and photographer all in one!
It was 99 degrees on our wedding day and he did the best to keep us cool, finding interesting shooting locations in our hotel and around the city so we wouldn’t have to be outside for long periods on time. On top of everything, he sent us all of our finished photos in less than a month! I would recommend him to anyone getting married – he truly is the absolute best in every way. I would give him more than 5 stars if I could!

Reliving wedding day forever!
Adam was an absolute pleasure working with from start to finish! After sifting through dozens of photographers for our engagement/wedding, we chose Adam Michaels Photography because of how he captures special moments so beautifully. The communication throughout the entire process was always clear and helpful. For our engagement shoot, he knew exactly what we were looking for after we described what we wanted and chose the perfect spots. Our wedding photos turned out better than we could have imagined. Our wedding day was a blur and went by too quickly, but Adam was able to fully capture every emotion and special moment so we can relive them forever! The photos are timeless and we can’t wait for our next big milestone to work with Adam again! -

Incredible Memories
We are so happy that we booked with Jade through Adam Michael’s. She was extremely responsive, answered any and all questions, and was extremely thorough for the day of the wedding. Her and Adam captured all of the special moments from our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They are both so professional, and have great eyes for beautiful photos. We will forever be so thankful for their expertise, they captured every moment. -

Incredible quality and service
My husband and I can't say enough good things about Adam and Jade. We booked them for our wedding, and they did a phenomenal job capturing our day. Our friends and family commented how at-ease they made them feel. Adam and Jade have an eye for detail and did a great job keeping the schedule for the day, which they also helped create. We just received our highlight photos and we can't stop looking at them. They were so on top of things that we were even able to attend the second half of our cocktail hour, which meant a lot to me. Look no further than Adam and Jade if you want the perfect wedding photos! -

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! -

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!!
