  Michael Monar was our photographer for our 9/1/12 wedding -- and he was wonderful!
  
  From our initial meeting, he impressed my father (who is an amateur photographer himself) and me. Not only did we approve of his portfolio and background, but my father approved of Michael's answers to all of his tricky photography questions!
  
  Michael was very organized, calling me a week before to discuss the photography shot schedule, which ended up getting changed the day of due to inclement weather. Despite the changes, Michael was happy to go with the flow!
  
  We really appreciated all the impromptu shots he took because the trolley driver ended up getting lost on the way to the venue, so there wasn't enough time in between the ceremony and reception for group portraits. You would never be able to tell though because Michael still managed to take over 700 photos for us -- and we loved them all! We can't wait to see our finished album!
  
  We would definitely recommend Michael as a wedding photographer. He is extremely professional, and his photos are phenomenal!

  We are so delightful to have Michael in our 3/24/11 wedding. He is a fascinating photographer and a great guy. The unique thing about him is that you never feel someone is taking a photo of you. You just have to live your wedding day and you might not even notice him at some points but he is somewhere special and taking special photos.
  
  While we were planning our wedding, we looked for a good and reliable photographer for more than 2 months. When we first saw his website, we were impressed with the amazing photos. I called him to set a meeting to see his works. From the very first moment that we saw him, we were both impressed. He never stopped smiling and he was so positive. He even helped us plan our wedding day.
  
  He was supper flexible as well. We changed the wedding plans just a week before the wedding and he didn't even complain. On the wedding day, he was on-time and very well organized. He was with us from early in the morning to late at night. He had no intention of leaving and I finally asked him to leave because he looked so tired after 12 hours of continuous working. He was wonderful.
  
  We would definitely recommend Michael not only because of his great photos, but also because of his great personality.

  THE most amazing photographs! I found him extremely creative and easy to work with- a great combination! His photographs are truly a work of art, we have many displayed in our condo. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for something unique and cutting edge.

  We were able to work with Michael through Bella Pictures. He took absolutely stunning pictures, we are so incredibly thrilled with each of the pictures Michael took. He was very professional and I feel like I didn't even see him while he was shooting because he wasn't intrusive, but still captured each moment perfectly. He did a great job of getting great candid photos as well as beautiful posed photos.

  I understand that ranking 5 stars across the board seems over the top, but Michael was the truest professional. He responded quickly to my inquiry, set up a meeting, came prepared with a photobook of past work and sheets on his rates, and helped find a package in our budget range. He also was not rude to us when we told him our wedding was only 3 months away like some other photographers had been.
  He contacted us several times before the wedding with ideas for location shoots between our ceremony and reception, like we wanted.
  On the day of the wedding, he was on time (actually, he was 20 minutes early!), dressed in an all black outfit (black pants, black dress shirt with dark tie), and got right to business. The pre-wedding shots of me and my girls getting ready are all magazine quality!
  He had his own transportation. We didn't even see him during the wedding, he was so stealthy. During the reception we even had to tell him to grab a bite to eat because he didn't stop.
  
  Needless to say, he didn't miss a moment. He got every picture that we wanted, and some we even forgot to ask for (including pictures of our wedding invitations, the program, the flowers, the shoes, the limo, etc etc). The poor guy even got soaked with us when it began to hail all of a sudden during our outdoor pictures. But we got some amazing shots (a few with a gorgeous rainbow background) despite it.
  
  What can I say? Michael Monar was fantastic.
