The very best photographer you'll find in Charlotte
Don't hire them if you only want the same boring wedding photos you see everywhere.
Don't hire them if you want pictures with fake smiles and cheesy poses.
Hire them if you want to capture those intimate moments no one else will notice or remember.
Hire them if you want a photographer who understands how to capture your best side.
Hire them if you want confidence that your photographer cares about the day as much as you do.
On a day that is fraught with stress from every direction, Luminous will be one thing you won't have to worry about. They are consummate professionals who operate behind the scenes. When you see their final work, you will re-live that special day all over again.Don't hire them if you only want the same boring wedding photos you see everywhere.

Pure Artistry
Luminous Photography, Mike and his wife provided us with creative ideas and excellent direction for poses and backgrounds that resulted in stunning photographs. The originality and eye for detail, knowledge of best lighting is demonstrated by their artistry. They also are experts at organization and bringing calmness when things get hectic for bride and groom. Their flexibility to attend various events during the wedding ceremony and reception allowed us to have the entire event captured in photographs. We had so many great pictures to choose from it was hard to select the favorites for our album. The selection process and the making of the album is a very easy process to maneuver as well.Luminous Photography, Mike and his wife provided us with creative ideas and excellent direction for poses and backgrounds that resulted in stunning photographs.

Highly recommended! Couldn't be happier with them!
Getting to work with Mike and Heather was such a wonderful experience on our big day! They were incredibly professional, kind, and helpful throughout all of both planning and our wedding day. There's a lot that goes on during a wedding day, but they helped us relax and enjoy all of the photography process and we both greatly appreciate that from them! They were always happy and helpful and every part of working with them went smoothly! We absolutely love the pictures that they took of us! They did such a wonderful job capturing both formal and candid photos of everyone at the wedding and captured the day incredibly well. The style of the pictures truly is timeless and we know that we will enjoy them forever! I can't recommend them enough!Getting to work with Mike and Heather was such a wonderful experience on our big day!

The best decision we made
Where to begin! Finding the right photographer for the biggest moment of your life is quite intimidating. Hiring Mike & Heather for both our engagement photos and our wedding was by far the best decision we made while planning our wedding. Not only are the the most down to earth and cool people, their photos are stunning. They made us feel so comfortable and confident and captured EVERY detail we could have wanted. And they were efficient! We actually got to enjoy our wedding! We couldn't be happier in our decision and will cherish the photos forever.Where to begin!

Absolutely Perfect
Just WOW. Mike and Heather were timely professional and on the ball! They worked with us to meet our slightly different taste in photos and they delivered. I am so happy and excited that we were able to work with them. Heather made me so comfortable and had such a great eye for styling detail and getting us posed while Mike framing of our photos and unique ideas were truly amazing. We could not be happier with our experience and our photos!Just WOW. Mike and Heather were timely professional and on the ball!

So pleased with our photos!
Mike and Heather did such a fabulous job of capturing our special day! Since we are an older couple on our second marriages, it was not important to us to have all the traditional wedding shots. We asked them to capture the celebration and they did not disappoint. Hire them! You won't regret it!Mike and Heather did such a fabulous job of capturing our special day!

Thankful we booked Michael & Heather for our wedding photography! Best decision ever!
After seeing our friends photos from their wedding we knew we had to have Michael & Heather capture our big day. From start to finish we were met with professionalism, friendliness & confidence. We were married at the courthouse and did a mini session with Mike & Heather before marrying. We both felt extremely comfortable in their presence and their ideas for poses. Their directions were very helpful and everything felt incredibly natural. Our photos are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend working with them!After seeing our friends photos from their wedding we knew we had to have Michael & Heather capture our big day.

Captured our Wedding Perfectly!
Luminous Photography are incredible to work with, and we strongly recommend them!
In our initial consultation, Mike and Heather took the time to get to know us and to understand the look we were going for with our wedding photos. They are a laid back couple local to Charlotte, and they are super easy to work with. The pricing is fair, and they offer several different packages to ensure that you only pay for what you need.
On the wedding day, Mike and Heather both arrived on time and ready to go. They, along with our coordinator, kept us on time without being intrusive or overbearing, as we'd heard many photographers can be.
We felt completely at ease and relaxed. All of the "poses" and staged photos felt completely natural- not forced or awkward. We've received the initial sample photos, and they are absolutely stunning. The candid shots that we've seen are fun and unique, and they really captured the energy and excitement of the evening.

Passionate, Detail Oriented, Tech-Savvy & Creative
Mike and Heather were an absolute joy to work with! Mike assisted us with so much more than just photography. We set up timelines and created organization out of the pure chaos that comes with having a wedding during a pandemic. Our venue owners raved on his professionalism and attention to detail. Doing this for as long as they have, they had never worked with such a detail oriented photographer before Mike & Heather! His photos were truly unique and the techy gadgets he used to create photos that were unique blew our minds! I had no idea you could track star alignments and cloud coverage relative to a specific spot and time! Mike and Heather were truly wonderful and indulged all our of creative sparks.Mike and Heather were an absolute joy to work with! Mike assisted us with so much more than just photography.

Amazing photographers who know how to capture the most special moments of an event!
Mike and Heather took the time to make sure we had a list established of what shots were most important to us. They captured our wedding and reception beautifully. We absolutely love looking through our photos to recall the great memories that were made that day.Mike and Heather took the time to make sure we had a list established of what shots were most important to us.

What can I say besides awesome?
My fiancé and I met with Mike and Heather and expressed what we wanted. Not only did they listen, but they gave great advice on capturing the smallest of details. They also encouraged us to have fun with pictures.My fiancé and I met with Mike and Heather and expressed what we wanted.
