    Absolutely Amazing

    We had our wedding in November 2023 and Michael was absolutely amazing! We went into this not knowing a thing and he helped us through the entire process. We are both awkward when it comes to being in front of a camera but Michael made us feel comfortable and beautiful/handsome. The pictures are stunning and we would hire him again in a heartbeat!

    Sincere, beautiful, and fun!

    Michael was exactly the person we wanted for our June wedding! His style is organic, beautiful, and timeless. We had so much fun with him! Michael took his time to get to know us and our own style; he made us feel perfectly comfortable with the camera (helpful with a camera shy husband). I love our photos so much, I still look at them every day. Michael's strength is sincerity, both in who he is as a person and the how he captured our day!

    We are so happy!

    I can't say enough how happy my husband and I were that we chose Michael Fisher as our photographer. He was nothing but understanding and accommodating when we decided to move our wedding up, opting for a mini wedding at our home due to COVID 19. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. We are so happy!!

    Michael Fisher Photography's reply:

    Emily, Your wedding day wonderful; with your closest family at your side, heaps of joy, love and gratitude, who could ask for more? It was absolutely a total joy photographing your wedding day!

    The best there is!

    Michael was the best photographer we could have asked for for our wedding last year. Not only did he work tirelessly on photo plans and our day-of timeline, the pictures he took for both our engagement session and wedding were incredible. He made sure our day stayed on track and was an integral part of helping me keep a level head on our important day. Not only was he an advocate for myself and my husband, he was even prepared with tide-to-go and a safety pin when we needed it. I’m so glad we chose him to capture our wedding, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a kind and professional photographer.

    Highly Recommend

    Michael and his assistant photographer were absolutely AMAZING and the photos are simply INCREDIBLE. Michael is a super chill down to earth guy who leaps into quiet action when there is a photo opportunity. Our wedding day photos (and rehearsal!) will be cherished forever. He also took family/friends formals that are incredibly beautiful and mean so much to us. We interviewed many photographers and we are so glad we went to Michael. He is outstanding.

    Best wedding photos ever.

    We hired Michael as our wedding photographer and I can honestly say that Michael is absolutely AMAZING!! He perfectly captured every moment of our day and gave us the BEST pictures!! It was more than we could’ve ever hoped for. The best part about Michael is that he genuinely enjoys taking photos of your special day and wants to truly make it special and easy for you. We’re in love with all our photos and are having the hardest time deciding which to frame! I would recommend Michael as a wedding photographer to every single couple!!

    Michael Fisher Photography's reply:

    It was totally totally my pleasure Heidi! So many wonderful moments on your wedding day; I have to say I completely think you and Ivo are amazing too:)

    very skilled and professional photographer

    We are very glad we discovered Michael's services. From the beginning he was a pleasure to work with. He took the necessary time to get to know what we wanted for our engagement and wedding photos. He also took the time to meticulously work out the schedule for the day of the wedding and was very flexible. The photos from both the engagement shoot and wedding day are amazing! A very skilled and professional photographer.

    Michael Fisher Photography's reply:

    Nathan, it was wonderful getting to know your family and photographing your wedding day, it was truly an honor!

    Michael Fisher is the absolute Best Photographer!

    Michael Fisher was absolutely wonderful to work with. We knew from the moment we met him we would book him. He was so professional and helpful throughout the entire experience. He guided us to ensure we had beautiful and lasting memories for our big day! He was prompt and very thorough, came to the venue the day before to plan head and gave us his recommendations on where things should be setup based on the time of day and where the sun would be. Things that we would never have thought of, he was right on top of it! He was a huge part of making our Wedding day unforgettable. Michael took so many pictures and he even stayed a bit later than original planned in order to get some additional pictures as the sun was going down. I highly recommend Michael and will be definitely booking him again for any other big event in our future!

    Professional and valuable

    Michael was a pleasure to work with from day one. Our initial meeting with Michael wasn’t a sales pitch but was more listening and a conversation. He listened to what we wanted our day to be and worked with us throughout the process. We had to change our wedding to a small backyard ceremony with no reception due to covid and he really helped us through that. Michael was creative with his photos and was up for anything-even a boat ride! He captured our day with a beautiful style and photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Michael!

    Michael Fisher Photography's reply:

    Holly and Zach, What a beautiful, intimate and genuinely lovely wedding day you had. Going over the timeline a few weeks before your wedding was super helpful, thank you both for taking the time for that:) I think it really helped us make the most of the day picture wise, and fun wise too! Thank you both again; it was truly an absolute pleasure being your wedding photographer!

    Best Wedding Photographer!

    I had no clue where to start looking for a wedding photographer! I was lucky to find such a talented photographer as Michael! He made sure that he went above and beyond to get all the wedding photos that we wanted for our special day. Michael even made us a special black and white photo album. I cannot thank him enough for capturing our day in such a magical way.

    Amazing, Professional, and Adaptable. Michael was the best!

    Michael was fantastic! My husband and I had to plan a wedding last minute due to the pandemic, and Michael was quick, flexible, and very professional. The day was less stressful due to Michael's planning and ideas. Also, he made us at ease during the whole day, and was flexible was our schedule was changed. The photos also turned out beautifully! We cannot thank him enough for making our special day even better, and we will cherish his photos for our lifetime. We highly recommend.

    Michael is Amazing

    It's hard to squeeze in all the reasons why Michael is amazing in a few sentences and so this review will be long:

    Right through the wedding planning process my fiance and i were very clear that we wanted the pictures to tell the true story of how fun our wedding would be. We Skyped with quite a few photographers and zeroed in on Michael and one other. The other photographer seemed very professional but to me felt like was trying to sell hard. Michael has a cool, relaxing, friendly demeanor about him - which i felt was important the day of the wedding. We Skyped with him the first time and then met with him once in the run up to the wedding. He guided us and helped create a wedding timeline to get things in place.
    We are from out of town and the wedding was in Rochester, so we went back and forth a lot on emails.

    Michael offered to switch up the engagement shoot for a traditional ceremony we were having the day before the wedding and i cannot be more THANKFUL for that. He didn't have to but he did and i think that was very sweet of him. The pictures are amazing and he took so many of them. It was on that day i realized Michael's love and passion for photography and why he is one of the best ones around. He really did an amazing job and since this was the day before the wedding we were already getting comfortable with his style.

    We are still in the process of receiving all our wedding photos - it's been a little over a month and Michael has already put some batches of pictures up. With every batch that gets uploaded our smiles get wider. Our families loved Michael too and are loving the pictures.

    Everything went smooth the day of. The compositions of the pictures through getting ready, ceremony, formals inside the church, Cobbs Hill so far have all turned out great.

    My dad noticed that at the end of the wedding reception, Michael was all wrapped up and ready to leave when he noticed someone doing something that he thought was capture worthy. He unpacked all his gear at lightning speed and started clicking away again. He could have easily walked away since technically he had fulfilled his obligation but he stayed for a bit more.

    So, Michael is truly one of the best - if not the best photographer in the Rochester area who is reasonably priced if you compare with other wedding photographers but will provide you with the top notch service that you're looking for.

    Michael Fisher Photography's reply:

    Karen, I had such a wonderful time photographing your wedding; I'm so happy to hear you've been overjoyed with the pictures so far! (That you and Chad loved working with me on your wedding day truly means a very great deal to me.) I'm looking forward to hearing from you again now that the all of the remaining wedding pictures are up and in your gallery; talk soon!

    Michael Fisher is AMAZING!

    We are so happy that we used Michael Fisher Photography for our wedding! He is so kind, friendly, easy to work with, and, above all, very talented. Words can't describe how happy we were with our photos, they literally brought me to tears! He is timely with his responses, and always professional, and really was a special part of our day. His prices are affordable, and his packages include so much! I strongly recommend him to anyone in the Rochester area that is getting married!

    We had Michael and his assistant photograph our wedding a few weeks ago, and we could not be happier. Michael was extremely easy to work with and provided exactly enough direction without feeling intrusive. He is very knowledgeable about lighting and positioning, and it really shows in his photos. He was easy to get in contact with, and very organized. He was extremely flexible and was great at just going with the flow of the wedding. Many of the guests enjoyed his presence as well. His rates are so reasonable, and in my opinion, he could easily charge more for the quality of work that he produces. Less than 2 weeks after the wedding, I already have my first batch of formal photos, which we are so incredibly pleased with. I can't wait to see the rest! If you have the opportunity to hire Michael as your wedding photographer, DO IT! You absolutely won't regret it.

    Exceptional and Personable Photographer

    We had the pleasure of working with Michael for our engagement and wedding photos. He was there with us every step of the way. Michael put us at ease on the day of our wedding, and the pictures turned out amazing! His style was exactly what we were looking for. He was able to make us get out of our heads and feel comfortable during the photographs, and it shows in the photos. We couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Michael and his work. Truly an amazing photographer!

    Could not be more positive

    We chose Michael to be our wedding photographer and could not have made a better decision. We picked him for quality of his work. We are particular fans of his photojournalistic style, making the photos feel natural and unforced. What we found on the day itself is that Michael was an absolute joy to be around. He exudes professionalism, showing up early to scout locations and going above and beyond to shoot so many of the little moments that we were too busy to notice ourselves. He was part of our day without for a single moment giving us the feeling that he was intruding, yet when reviewing the photo it is as if he was everywhere at the same time.
    If you're looking for high quality work and a great process along the way, I cannot recommend Michael enough.

    Michael Fisher Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words Gerben. I really enjoyed getting to know you and Katie, and being part of your wedding day was truly, truly a pleasure.

    Michael is an amazing photographer and person to work with! Before the wedding he was extremely patient, willing to answer any questions and alleviate any concerns. He makes you feel like no question is stupid to ask. He spoke on the phone whenever I had any questions at all; and was very present throughout the whole process. We worked together and I felt like I knew what I could expect from him. During the wedding he was very pleasant and a great presence. He was open to direction; but the magic lies in his ability to capture the precious, raw moments! So many photos made me laugh and cry, as they were moments I want to relive over and over, or they are things I missed during the wedding that he filled in for me with his photos. The photos are stunning! There’s hundreds that I absolutely love. I’m so happy I chose him as my photographer and I now have amazing photos to look at for the rest of my life. Michael is also just a very genuine, kind and caring person!! He’s awesome and I couldn’t recommend him enough.
    His assistant was also amazing!!!

    Michael was absolutely amazing! Not only was he a pleasure to work with, but his work exceeded all of our expectations. We had several guests comment throughout the night that they couldn't believe how quickly he moved throughout our venue, without disrupting any part of our ceremony or reception. Michael was extremely accommodating to our scheduling needs, our ideas for the day, and how we wanted our pictures structured. He was extremely prompt in getting all of our photos back to us within a couple of weeks after the wedding. We just can't say enough good things about his work and his professionalism!! :) :)

    Michael did a wonderful job photographing our wedding this past fall. From the pre-ceremony shots to late night at the reception, all of our photos look amazing – I can’t stop looking at them! We’ve shared many of our photos with family and friends and everyone has commented on how great they turned out.

    In addition to being a talented photographer, Michael was very professional and easy to work with. He quickly responds to e-mails, and thoroughly answered any question we had. While searching for a photographer, one of our main concerns was finding someone who could “stay in the background,” but still capture everything. Michael did a wonderful job at this.

    I was particularly impressed with how Michael photographed our reception. He got so many great shots of all our family and friends having fun! I feel like I’m reliving the night every time I look through his photos.

    I would highly recommend Michael Fisher to anyone looking for a great photographer for their wedding.

    We absolutely loved our experience with Michael Fisher Photography. We are extremely happy with our pictures!! Michael was very engaged with us regarding what we were looking for in a wedding photographer from the very beginning. Michael came up with some great ideas based upon our thoughts and his expertise. In addition to the typically wedding photos, Michael was also able to capture some amazing candids of our family and friends which have left us with some fantastic memories of our very special day. We highly recommend Michael Fisher Photography!

    Michael and John were absolutely phenomenal! They did an amazing job and we're completely in love with our pictures from our wedding. There wasn't a moment of the day Michael and John didn't capture. They took the most amazing shots of myself and my husband but also did a fantastic job capturing all the fun our guests had as well. Extremely responsive, and very accommodating to what we wanted. They went above and beyond all expectations and I would recommend them to anyone!!

    If we had to choose one word to describe Michael's work, it would be "amazing". From the early planning stages to the final product, Michael was a pleasure to work with. Not only were all our photos perfect, but Michael was incredibly flexible and easy going, which undoubtedly helped to make our wedding a success. Michael's style was exactly what we wanted and we knew that he would provide an outstanding experience from the moment that we first met with him. We highly recommend his services!

    Very laid back. He listened to our needs. We didn't want super posed or contrived pictures... Just natural ones. Honestly, haven't seen the photos so this review may be premature. But our families commented on how good he was. I said, ''We haven't even seen pictures!' But the way he interacted with people and how he blended with the crowd as if he wasn't even there was amazing. Highly recommended:)
