    10/10 Would Recommend

    Michael was our photographer for our 3 Day South Asian wedding in Arizona (March 2024) and did such an AMAZING job!! Throughout the wedding planing process, Michael listened to all our requests and was so friendly and easy to work with. Throughout our 4 wedding events, Michael felt more like a friend to us than our vendor. We felt so comfortable working with him and his calm demeanor was so helpful during the high-stress moments throughout the weekend. His two other teammates, Lauren and Jules, were just as amazing, friendly, and easy to work with! Michael had a gallery with 100 teaser photos sent to us the morning after our reception which was very impressive. We absolutely LOVED how all the photos came out. My dad plays the slideshow for every guest that enters his house. Michael has a genuine and natural talent for capturing the special moments while also capturing the entire vibe and decor of the event. 10/10 would recommend Michael and his team!!

    Michael was easily the best investment of our wedding day, I look at these photos every day and am always in awe of how accurately he captured the love, excitement, and happiness of our wedding day. I cannot say enough positive things, you will not regret the decision to have him capture the most important moments of the person you're about to spend the rest of your life with!

    Michael Santos photographed our wedding in July and we couldn't have found a better photographer! The quality of the photographs were excellent with amazing shots captured.

    The photos were amazing! He took special candid photos of friends and family through out the whole event. I would of never known of all great things going on, because you can't be everywhere at the same time. The evening was blur to me, but I am glad Michael took the pictures. Michael made the celebration complete. Now I have great memories captured in photos to look back as I get older. Thanks for the memories!

    From the moment we had our first consultation my husband and I knew Michael was the one. He was welcoming and made us extremely comfortable in front of the camera.

    I really needed a good photographer and thank goodness Michael came through for us. Right away he responded with excellent customer service! From the first moment I contacted him to the special day he was right there with us.

    As a nervous and stressful bride Michael made things that much easier on us. In the planning stages he walked us through the process, answered any and every question I had and assured us everything would come out beautiful. As the wedding day approached he checked on us as we finalized everything. The morning of our wedding he arrived very promptly. His warm smile and friendly demeanor put my stress and worries aside.

    My now husband and myself were very impressed at his knowledge of photography, angles, and lighting and how he was so passionate about taking our photos. He engaged us, made us feel so comfortable and most importantly made our day what it is... ABOUT US! He truly showed that he LOVES what he does.

    Michael went above and beyond professionalism and really took his time with us to make sure every picture he shot came out perfect! We couldn't have chosen a better photographer. His pictures captured the love and joy my husband and I share and now we have beautiful memories that we can look at everyday.

    Bonus: We now have a great photographer that we can call for future events! Thank you Michael for your great pictures, professionalism and being apart of our special day!

    Michael was the photographer my parents hired for my Quince. He was so patient with my family and I, especially when the party grew rather disorganized. It was my special day and he treated me like a princess. My family plans on hiring him again for my cousin's upcoming Quince. The photo's came out beautiful! My older cousins are so jealous! Thank you Michael, wherever you are.

    Such a professional and hardworking individual. Its already stressful enough planning such a huge event, but the photography aspect of it was beautifully done and I couldn't be any happier with the results.

    I requested Michael Santos to take pictures of my wedding in July and he did a fabulous job! We had our wedding at a resort in Santa Barbara and the pictures came out absolutely gorgeous! I would definitely recommend him to my other friends getting married. He was very professional and knew what he was doing.

    Micheal and his team were easy to work with and easy to communicate with. I, the bride, explained the exact moments I wanted captured for my wedding album and Michael got every shot I ordered and some! My photos turn out great and I didn't have to wait very long to receive them.
