  The Best of the Best!

  I think it says it all when I tell you that Michael has been a part of my family's events from my oldest sister's Bat Mitzvah in 1998 all the way through my wedding in 2021. Michael is the absolute BEST and working with him is a dream. He is personable, reliable, funny, and captures the best photos throughout the day without making the posed photos feel like a drag. All throughout the night, he was on the dance floor getting group shots and candids, and I absolutely cannot wait to see all of his amazing work! We are forever grateful to have had Michael with us on such an important day. He is incredible!

  Captured Everything!

  Michael is amazing to work with and we felt safe the entire time with all of our vendors at our wedding. Michael is a very relaxed photographer to work with and in a covid environment, he made it feel as if our wedding was any normal wedding. I could not recommend a better photographer that can handle any stressful situation!

  Simply the best!

  Michael and Amy were so amazing to work with! It is so nice to be able to trust my couples with the photographer and a timeline and knowing that they can getable their photo sessions done and have everyone where they need to be without having to be there the entire time! It allowed me to ensure that every other detail of the wedding was ready and in place and my couple could not have felt more comfortable with their photo team for their big day! Michael and Amy went above and beyond and really helped bring a touch of magic to the day!

  We are so happy that we were able to work with MBK Photography. We worked with Susan as our primary shooter and Michael as our second shooter, and they were truly wonderful. It's so important to feel comfortable with the people you bring to your wedding, and they were so friendly, patient, and easy to work with.

  We can't said enough wonderful things about MBK and his team. We have now looked through our pictures many times and each time discover new moments that make us laugh, cry, and feel so appreciative. He captured us, our family and friends, and the love that surrounded us that day better than we could have imagined. We will truly cherish these pictures forever.
  
  We also enjoyed working with Michael so much! He made every meeting, the engagement photos, and the wedding so much fun. He helped us to be relaxed and enjoy and you can see it in the pictures!

  I couldn't say more positive things about Michael Kress. He is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but he helped me to feel at ease before and during my wedding day. That can be difficult for a bride! He took the time to get to know me and my husband before the wedding so we felt extremely comfortable with him on the big day. His creative eye, assertiveness, kindness, and dedication is unparalleled. He went above and beyond to make sure he captured all the pictures that we wanted... and many more!! I look forward to working with Michael for other special celebrations!!

  Michael is one of the most incredible people to work with on your big day. He captures every moment and knows exactly how to keep a bride calm when things get crazy. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

  Michaell Bennett Kress is a SUPERSTAR!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I want to thank you Michael for being so COOL. You were so great, kind and cool on our engagement shoot which made us want you and no one else to document our wedding :) Honestly, it was you and your sweet assistant that kept me calm through out the whole day. You brought such a positive attitude with you the moment you walked on site. I sincerely thank you for your professionalism and most importantly wonderful attitude.
  
  P.S. my mom has already decided on wanting you doing a year anniversary photo shoot of us and the whole pregnancy and baby pictures (Hopefully in 10 years lol)

  Susan Pleiman and Denis Kan of MBK were a dream to work with!!! I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with them. They were absolutely amazing to work with and not only did I notice this, but many of my guests commented on how fantastic they were. I cannot wait to see my pictures, but based on the experience I am sure that they will be truly spectacular!

  We had the BEST time at our wedding and reception and our photographer Shmulik was FANTASTIC! He was running around ALL DAY LONG making sure he got all the best shots...and I mean literally running. He was working our wedding by himself and you would never know that there wasn't a team of photographers there! He really went above and beyond and is such a genuinely kind and professional guy. All the guests loved him too! THANK YOU!!!!!

  Susan Pleiman did our wedding and we think she ROCKS! She and all the staff at MBK (especially Geoff) was super helpful in helping us to create a package that worked for us. We chose to skip the album and go for the 2nd point of view shooter which was great for all of the pre-wedding events at a Jewish ceremony. We loved our engagement shots and with over 1200 pictures to choose from I could not be more excited about our wedding pics. It was also so great to get them 1 month after the wedding rather than have to wait a year like some brides. The assistants and other shooter were great and I feel we got a nice mix of candid�s and portraits. I highly recommend putting together a list of pictures you want. We somehow managed to miss a picture of my husband with his best friend which was totally my fault so make sure to write it down and give it your photographers. I plan on using MBK for all of our family celebrations still to come.

  We working with Michael directly for our engagement shoot, and with his recommended colleague Shmulik for our actual wedding day. Both of these photographers produced great shots that we LOVE. They were both punctual, flexible, and really have great eyes for fantastic shots. We love the photos that we got back from our shoots and cherish each one as capturing a beautiful memory.

  We really like Michael. He is a good guy. We were pleased with the engagement shots but highly displeased with the subcontractor/webiste he used to display the photos. Photos were shipped late if at all.
  With regard to the wedding, although a number of his shots were very good, we did feel we got the journalistic style that we discussed. Some wonderful images, but overall a disappointment.
  Getting the album completed has also been a challenge, marked by a number of small errors.
  Michael Bennett Kress is a good photographer, but perhaps not the right one for us.
