    Surprise proposal

    Michael was totally awesome for the whole surprise proposal. From planning location, time, and logistics to being totally stealthy and while taking amazing photos leading up to the proposal, and finally being amazing during the photo shoot after the proposal. Highly recommend him!

    Kimbrough Wedding

    When we were looking for photographers we were looking for someone who was able to see and capture our love on camera while keeping us comfortable. Michael was that and so much more, not only did he help with the organization of our party and keeping us on schedule but he arrived early to determine where the best lighting was for that day. He was very keen on who and what we wanted to capture and he was gentle and kind with all of our guests. My husband, who typically doesn’t like taking pictures is now a fan of photoshoots because of Michael. His beautiful work is now memories we will cherish forever❤️

    Key Largo Wedding

    My husband and I got married at Dream Bay Resort a few weeks ago, and Michael was incredible! He was efficient in making sure we got all of the pictures we wanted, all while remaining smooth and thoughtful! You can really tell that he cares about the couples he works with, and the pictures are breathtaking! I couldn’t recommend anyone more!

    Michael is the BEST!

    My husband and I LOVED having Michael as our wedding photographer. We highly recommend booking him, he made the entire process a seamless and simple one! He is very intentional with his communication and planning. Since our wedding was a destination, we had several communication exchanges leading up to the big day. He’d ask me questions pertaining to the location, lighting, any family dynamics he might need to know and he’d ask questions to ensure his vision was ultimately what I was looking for. I really appreciated his attention to detail and responsiveness. He knew what to anticipate and the important questions to ask!! He is reliable and an absolute delight to work with as well :)

    You will not regret choosing Michael Karolemeas as your photographer!!!

    Simply the BEST!

    Michael truly exceeded our expectations!!! He is wonderful!! ✨ Not only is he a very talented photographer but he is also a genuinely lovely person and will be sure to go above and beyond.

    Going into our engagement shoot, my husband and I were both a little nervous. From the moment we met Michael, both of us immediately felt at ease and he helped build our confidence for the big day!

    We got married at bakers cay resort in key largo and Micheal knew it very well—he even helped us get the room with the best view of ceremony on hammock beach! He brought a nice sense of calm to the day, something as a type A bride I needed very much!! He was organized, methodical and kept the timeline to perfection (something he also helped curate and gave some very helpful suggestions).

    We quickly got a series of “sneak peaks” and they are AMAZING! I can’t wait to see more!!

    I would hire Micheal a thousand times over!! And will be looking for any excuse to do just that!

    Exceptional Experience

    Going with Michael as our photographer was the best decision we made. From the very start he was such a pleasure, extremely knowledgeable, helpful and very accommodating. He always answered me promptly and was very professional. The day of the wedding he made us feel comfortable and at ease and very helpful with schedule of the day, which made the day flawless. He was able to capture such genuine moments of us together that came out so beautiful. It was truly such a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and his pictures come out absolutely amazing! You can tell he has a passion for what he does. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture the best day of our lives! Highly recommend!

    Keys Wedding

    Micheal and his assistant were extremely professional and helpful in helping my husband and I with every step of the process. We are obsessed with our pictures and could not have asked for a better photographer.

    Amazing Photographer

    My husband and I got married down in the Florida Keys this last April. It was beautiful and I'm so glad we were able to work with Michael to help capture the beauty of it all.
    My husband and I are not from the area, and Michael helped to make sure our wedding went off without a hitch. He always answered any questions I had during the months before the wedding and made sure we knew the estimated timings of how he would be taking photographs during it. He was very laid-back, while being professional, and made it fun and relaxing the entire time.
    We were able to get a sneak peak of the photos about a week after our wedding and it took about 3 months to get the full gallery. My husband and I loved looking through the photos and seeing all the fun we had and how gorgeous the photos turned out. He made sure to capture the real us and how amazing the day was with all our friends and family.
    I would recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for a photographer who will work with you, even if you live states away, and make taking pictures easy and fun while getting beautiful results.

    Amazing photographer!

    Michael was the best person we worked with though our entire wedding experience. Very professional, was very helpful but not pushy. I also love his style of photography - as this is the main reason why we booked him, and the final product did not disappoint!

    Wonderful, kind, knowledgable photographer!

    We are so happy with our wedding photos!! When I started looking for a photographer for our destination wedding at Isla Bella in the FL Keys, I had originally reached out to Jannette De Llanos photography because she was on my venue's list of recommended vendors. Michael reached out to me because he has shot for Jannette for years, but recently started his own business. We are so grateful we hired Michael. He was professional, patient and incredibly knowledgable. Not only did he know our venue like the back of his hand, he knew when to shoot at which parts of the property at different times of day to get the best natural light. He took charge of the flow of our couples/family photoshoot, but wasn't pushy. He was incredibly quick to share our "sneak peek" photos, and every shot is amazing. He is also very communicative. We highly recommend Michael!

    Last Minute Hero

    I highly, HIGHLY recommend Michael for any photography needs. I had a very small and intimate wedding with only family and our original photographer bailed on us 6 days before the wedding. Michael was able to fit us in for an hour and capture our most important moments with no hesitation. Also, I must add I have no idea what I'm doing in front of a camera and can get overwhelmed/shy pretty easily; Michael made us feel extremely comfortable and somehow made me look at ease in my pictures, haha. He gave us instructions the entire time and was extremely patient. His professionalism is top tier!

    The best photographer for your big day!

    It was amazing to work with Michael at my wedding day. He knew our venue and the regular flow at the venue the most among all the vendors we hired. He is very attentive to the weather, which is super important in FL. He came 2hrs early because there was chance of rain later at the day, so we did not miss single shot we wanted to take. His photos are great, especially I like color and the vibe from the photo. He is fun and easy to work with, very fast at answering any of your question, easy to discuss what to do at the wedding day. I would LOVE to recommend him to other couples who are looking for photographer in FL, especially florida keys area. Also, I would love to work with him for different occasion (of course not another wedding for me hahaha) :) He is the best! Don't hesitate to contact him. You will love him!

    The Best of The Best!

    Michael has been an amazing asset to my Photography business for the last 9 years. I brought him to the Florida Keys from Massachusetts- where he was photographing Weddings, to help me during the winter season. After he photographed his first wedding with me in Islamorada I knew I couldn't let him go back home! He has been an outstanding addition to my business since 2013. He is not only a talented Photographer, he will help you build the perfect timeline for your wedding day so that you can just sit back and really enjoy all of the special moments. His calm and fun demeanor sets his apart, just ask any of our fellow local wedding vendors, they will tell you that his organization and experience are unmatched. I am thrilled that he is venturing off on his own a little, but I wouldn't know what to do with out him, so I am super thankful he will still be photographing weddings with me as well as doing his own thing! Since we have been working so closely together for 9 years you will see that our work closely resembles each other with a little personal touch from each of us.
