Jill Sent on 01/09/2024Mike is TRULY the best!
I was about to write Mike an email thanking him for the millionth time, and I decided to share my thoughts here instead. WOW- Mike is PHENOMENAL. I truly can’t articulate how happy I am that we chose Mike to capture our day. I am going through my wedding gallery again after receiving it yesterday, and I’m in awe. The photos are absolutely stunning, and everyone we show is beyond impressed. I am re-living our day over and over through Mike’s lens, and he truly captured everything perfectly.
What’s even crazier is that the incredible gallery is the icing on the cake— Mike was a dream to work with throughout this entire process. He was there when there were bumps in the road, from the less than ideal weather on our engagement shoot to a last-minute issue with our venue. It was great to have Mike in our corner. We were thrilled with our experience from engagement shoot all the way through wedding gallery delivery. He sent us a ton of teasers within a couple of days of our wedding, and they were so good that I honestly would have even been happy if I JUST had those teasers.
I (and everyone else) can’t stop talking about how Mike was the best decision we made for the day of our wedding. He kept everything fun and running smoothly. Several people from our wedding party said they are going to choose their future wedding date based on Mike’s availability, that’s how amazing he was.
Mike is such a genuinely great human— incredible communication, organization, and professionalism. -

I first want to start out by saying we found Mike through one of our friends, he was their wedding photographer and my jaw DROPPED when I saw their photos - I knew we had to hire Mike and his team to shoot ours. Mike has been incredible to work with, the entire process of planning, coordinating and preparing for our wedding as well as our engagement shoot was thorough, seamless and enjoyable every step of the way. Mike was not only incredibly helpful, but he was accommodating and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process, even up until the very end, when we had our ceremony and reception. I don't even need to get into Mike and his second shooter, Meredith's work because it truly speaks for itself. He captured the most amazing images of my husband and I on our big day and we will cherish these pictures for years and decades to come. If you're looking for an experienced, knowledgeable photographer to capture your wedding day, I can't recommend Mike & team enough. They're true professionals in every sense of the word and you absolutely won't be disappointed. -

Mike was hands down the best vendor we booked for our wedding. Not only is he extremely talented (I mean, look at his photos), but he also makes the day so much fun! From our initial booking with Mike to our wedding day, Mike was extremely professional, detail oriented, and always made us feel like we were in good hands. If you are looking for a photographer that provides high quality work and cares about his clients, Mike is your guy. We are so happy with the photos from our wedding. Mike truly captured the magic of the day. My husband and I already agreed we are using Mike for all future photos. 100/10 recommend! -

The best photographer!
Words cannot describe how amazing of a photographer Mike truly is. After getting our engagement photos from him we knew we wanted to use him for our wedding day. We could tell how truly passionate he was about his work and loved that he made us feel so comfortable taking photos. He helped us with any questions we had and made sure to go above and beyond on our big day. From time scheduling to making sure we got all the photos we had asked for, he truly delivered. His photos speak for themselves! Photos are one of the things you'll have for the rest of your lives to look back on for your wedding day and I promise you Mike is the best person for the job. Without a doubt we would pick him 100 times over again to capture our day! -

From the minute we had the consultation call with Mike a year before our wedding, we knew he was the photographer for us. He is incredibly organized and has a thorough timeline that he follows in the weeks leading up to the wedding. On the big day, everything ran without a hitch, thanks to his spot-on schedule, which allowed us to capture all the essential moments - from our first look to photos with the wedding party, friends, family, and venue details.
Although we had planned for an outdoor ceremony and were excited to take photos all over the beautiful property surrounding the venue, the weather had other plans and it ended up pouring all day long. Despite our initial disappointment, we did not have a single worry about how the photos would come out and knew Mike would find a way to capture the day beautifully. Now, as we browse through the full gallery of images, we can confirm that he did not disappoint.
The photos are truly breathtaking and exceeded any and all expectations we had. Even if we could turn back time and change the weather, we wouldn't, because our wedding was simply that perfect and magical. We can't thank Mike and his team enough for capturing our special day and ensuring everything flowed so seamlessly. -

Michael & team are the absolute best! Not only did they work incredibly well with the coordinator and us but they made the entire process fun for us & our bridal party. We received teasers so fast and the photos are absolutely insane. I’ll use Michael for every important event I have as long as he’s still shooting. -

If you want to have beautiful, natural and creative images on your wedding day, hire Mike!
Not only do his images blow you away and make you question if that's even you in the picture, but he's a great friend to have by your side the day of. Mike made sure my family and bridal party had fun all while capturing everything we asked for. Wedding photography can feel exhausting, but Mike made it a breeze that day. My family is still talking about him to this day.
Do not hesitate to hire Mike. You will not regret it! -

Laura D. Sent on 11/19/2022You absolutely get what you pay for- Book Michael now
I cannot express how happy we were working with Michael for our engagement photos and wedding! He delivered 1000%. In my opinion, you get what you pay for! We've been to other weddings with photographers who didn't provide as much direction and it was chaos to watch. His expertise makes everything run so smoothly. We received so many compliments from family and friends on our photos and the day of that they didn't feel rushed by him! We felt there was plenty of time to enjoy our day and get the shots we wanted. We are absolutely using Michael in the future!! Thank you so much for capturing our lasting memories- We are forever grateful!!! -

Taylor B. Sent on 05/06/2023Best choice we could have made
This review is long overdue. Michael captured our wedding day so flawlessly. He was the best decision we could have made for our wedding day. Not only is he an extremely talented photographer, but he is like a coordinator as well. He kept us on the timeline and I didn't have an OUNCE of worry that we weren't on schedule. To be honest I didn't have to think about it at all. I knew I was in great hands. Michael was a huge factor in making our wedding day the most seamless, best day of our lives. Not only that, but we received sneak peak photos on our honeymoon a couple of days later! I was in awe when I saw the photos and I'm so extremely happy I was able to work with Michael because his talent is unmatched. I have the most beautiful photos to look back on. I promise this will be the best decision you make in regard to wedding planning. Michael's experience, talent, personality, and professionalism is PRICELESS. I can't thank him enough. -

top vendor
There are no bad things I could say about Mike. He was by far one of our top vendors we chose for our wedding and we would book him over and over again. From our day one interview with him, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding and every encounter in between he was professional, responsive and just an awesome human being. As for his talent as a photographer... he is amazing. Very natural prompts that doesn't make being in front of the camera weird especially for people not used to it. We loved both engagement session and wedding day with Mike! Meredith was also awesome as a second shooter. Thank you to both of you for being a part of our special day! -

Mike is the best!
It was such an absolute pleasure to have Mike photograph our wedding. He made it so easy and made us feel very comfortable. I love that his photos are natural and all about having fun/enjoying the moment. He took care of everything, so we never had to worry while we were enjoying our day. We feel so lucky to have had Mike capture our special day! -

Truly Amazing
I don't even know where to begin. From the first moment we zoomed with Michael, I knew him and his team would be the perfect fit for us. While Mike himself wasn't available for our day, his second shooter Meredith was as part of his associate wedding package. We did an engagement shoot with Meredith and we all instantly connected. It was like having a friend take photos of you. Plus the pictures came out amazing. All throughout the process, Mike and Meredith were communicative in such a timely manner. Meredith got married at the same venue we did, and I would constantly text her asking her opinions, or advice on what she did. She was more like a friend than our wedding photographer. Our wedding day was the best day ever and a lot of it was because of Meredith and Joe. Meredith and Joe were literally so much fun the day of. They worked INCREDIBLE together, they were such an amazing duo. We threw some last minute changes in and they were more than accommodating. They were our hype team all freaking day! They were making us laugh so so much. When we wanted to add some pictures that weren't on our timeline all they kept saying was "heck yeah lets do it" And the pictures just speak for themself. They are AMAZING. I am honestly sad that that day is over and went so fast. You spend ALL DAY with your photographers, an it is so important you find people who are fun and just enjoyable to be around. -

Nothing short of amazing
From the moment we first consulted with Michael he impressed us. He responded to inquiries quickly. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and he made us feel comfortable. As our wedding day approached I changed his start time and he accommodated my requests. He helped with the flow of our ceremony and got every shot we wanted and those we didn’t know we wanted. We had teasers back in 24 hours and less than one month later I have the most amazing photos. Every single picture is amazing. -

I honestly don't think I will ever have the right or enough words to describe how wonderful not only Mike's work is but Mike himself.
As I am sure most are, my husband and I were not particularly familiar with taking professional photos. We were nervous and went into it thinking we would look ridiculous and very posed. We couldn't have been more wrong and we owe it all to Mike! From the beginning, he made us feel so at ease and made us laugh throughout our whole time together. He is kind, attentive and brilliant at what he does. Everyone that attended our wedding commented on how easy he was to work with.
If you have seen any of Mike's photos, you know his work speaks for itself. Our photos are absolutely beautiful. He captured moments of our special day we didn't even realize were so important to us. Photography is such an important piece of your wedding day and I truly can't begin to explain what it means to have our wedding pictured the way it was. It is such a wonderful feeling knowing you can trust such a huge part of your day in capable hands. I can't thank him enough and will certainly be working with him and only him in the future.
Thank you, Mike!!!! -

Mike was so professional and calming leading up to the wedding and on the big day. He was so responsive, the best hype man, and executed everything we wanted in a timely fashion. I would hire him 100 times over and can't wait to work with him again in a few years (hopefully on a maternity shoot!). We got married on November 6th and had teasers within a few days. I'm in love and so thankful we went with Mike. He's the best of the best! -

I can't say enough good things about the experience My family had with Micheal Cassara Photography. I have 6 daughters and this is my 4th wedding so I have quite the experience with vendors. This was the 1st time I was so relaxed and happy with the style and flow of the day with the pictures. WE all had such a good time and the usual stress about getting all the important pictures was gone. The team was so professional and were never in the way and somehow captured the whole day perfectly. The pictures are so beautiful and there is no doubt who I will be using for the other weddings. You will be so happy you went with this team..trust a wedding professional!
