Alex K. Sent on 08/20/2021Amazing, Fun, Engaging Photographer with BEAUTIFUL Photos!
Michael was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding! He is engaging, fun, extraordinarily helpful, and takes the time to get to know you and your partner. He spent HOURS on the phone with me in the months leading up to the wedding helping to finalize our timeline and ensure I wasn't stressed the day of. We also did our engagement shoot session with him - HIGHLY RECOMMEND - these are some of my favorite photos of all time. I cannot recommend Michael enough - he captures all the small intimate moments which makes him stand out among other photographers. -

Michael was fantastic throughout the entire day. Very professional and very friendly. I would highly recommend him! -
Athina Sent on 12/28/2017Michael was one of the best parts about our wedding day. We were referred to him by one of our vendors and I hadn't seen his work until we met with him before the wedding. The album he showed us was beautiful and he was so sweet and easy to get along with and we were sold. He kept in contact with me up until the wedding and turned out to be so helpful beyond even his photography. He had advice for the wedding day that included tips he had acquired from all of his experiences, both professional and personal.
On our wedding day he blew our minds. His level of professionalism is out of this world. We were all so impressed by his demeanor and his knowledge and how quickly he moved to capture each special moment. We still can't get over it. He's so polite, too. He brought an assistant and he was awesome as well. We received our edited photos this week and they are just gorgeous.
Weddings are stressful and there is a lot to coordinate. If you hire Michael, you'll be setting up a sure thing that'll turn out beautifully.
THANK YOU Michael!!!!!!! -

User2617927 Sent on 05/23/2016Michael recently shot my wedding and I could not be happier with how the photos came out. Several of my guests said my wedding photos were some of the best they've ever seen. Michael is a true artist. There are so many cool, artsy shots, as well as a ton of fun candids. I thought I would have some regrets about not getting a videographer, but I honestly don't, because the pictures perfectly capture the day, from getting ready, to first look, to dancing at the reception. Michael is a dream to work with too! He is super chill, and very attentive to your preferences. For example, I was worried about the first look pictures looking too staged and corny, and I had several conversations with Michael about this and how I really would like them to look organic, and they do! The first look pictures were some of the best because they look so natural. So many of my guests commented on how great my photographer was, how he was always there to get a great shot, and just how genuinely pleasant he was. You really can't ask for more! Highly recommend Michael Stavrinos Photography! -
User2484665 Sent on 12/29/2015We were planning our daughter's wedding at The Chesapeake Bay Beach Club and needed a wedding photographer who could handle a special setting, water, lots of light, and sand among other things!
Our daughter suggested Michael Stavrinos and we could NOT have been more pleased! He provided a second photographer, lots of time, and even could provide a photo booth for the venue and reception!
He made everyone feel at ease as he shot the getting ready part of the day and realizes that he plays a very important part in the special day!
He's a great listener and extremely creative!
When our daughter wanted pictures taken near the water, Michael found a trail to a secluded beach for the first look and wedding party pictures and they are beautiful!
He asked if we had any special people we would like to have pictures taken with us! He asked about family and special requests for those pictures, too! He captured the details and the big parts of the wedding and reception! He made sure everyone looked great!
The photo booth was a terrific hit! Loved by all who took a minute to have a fun picture taken!
When we received our pictures, my daughter and new husband were thrilled! And we did not have to wait forever to get the pictures which were divided up into sections for easy viewing !!
He provides a classy wooden memory stick with the HD pictures on it for further use by the bride and groom!
If you are not sure who to use for your photographer, take a look at Michael Stavrinos, he grew up down the street from us and has become an awesome photographer!!!

Angie Sent on 10/07/2015I am a picture maniac. I love photography and capturing important moments in my loved ones’ lives. I knew finding the right photographer for me might be tough. In searching for my own wedding photographer, I was looking for someone who A.) Took AMAZING photos, B.) was Affordable, & C.) did not give me a time limit (Ex: you only get me for 6 hours, or 8 hours, etc.). Michael Stavrinos Photography hit all of these items out of the park!
After viewing Michael’s portfolio online and being blown away, my now husband and I met with Michael one evening over dinner to make sure we liked him as much as his pictures. Within 2 minutes we both adored him. He’s the kindest, most genuine, and sincerest person. We knew we could trust him, and he would be extremely easy to work with. He was great at listening to my requests and what I had in mind for my big day, and he made us both feel super comfortable with the process. He was punctual, and always got back to me right away if I ever called or emailed. On my wedding day, he worked extremely well with everyone, and he made sure I kept to my timeline that I gave all of the vendors. He was also great about sensitive topics such as family members who didn’t get along, or divorces and people who may not want to be photo’d together.
When I received my photos a few weeks after my wedding, tears came to my eyes. They were exactly what I had hoped for. They captured my day perfectly in an artsy, original, and creative way. I love that he gave us a hard drive with all of our pictures to print at our leisure. If you want one less thing to worry about on your wedding day – you MUST hire Michael. You’ll end up with a worry-free wedding day knowing that he will capture the best day of your life exactly how you visioned it would be.

User2143805 Sent on 05/23/2015Where do I begin?? My son and daughter-in-law chose Michael as their photographer, so I did not meet him until the day of the wedding. What a perfect choice they made.
Let's start with his personality- he's fun, personable, engaging, calm, and has the ability to make everyone feel comfortable- even on the wedding day!
He and Keith were able to do the First Look and Family photos( with a LARGE family) and keep us on schedule.
As for their presence at the wedding- he was everywhere you would want him to be without being intrusive in ANY way- I think that is so important!
Now- onto the photos. He captured the mood, and essence of the wedding- with creativity, clarity and and comprehensiveness!
The pictures are amazing- I just don't know how we will choose! I also want to mention that even my guests commented on his fantastic personality- and I will be forever grateful for his contribution to making the night positively magical.
It's obvious that he is passionate about his photography- and his clients reap the benefits! You will be thrilled if you choose Michael Stavrinos as your photographer. -
User1968502 Sent on 12/14/2014Michael and his sidekick Keith made our wedding perfect. We had a full day of events and they were incredibly flexible and professional. They captured every shot we could have wanted and more. Michael was always thinking about the next shot and had the type of plan that only someone innately creative and in love with his trade could conjure. Aside from being incredibly talented, he has is incredibly warm, personable, and funny thereby adding happiness everywhere he goes. We had a couple of small mishaps with other vendors yet knowing that I could fully rely on Michael and Keith gave me the peace of mind I needed to have a great night all the same. The photos were amazing, just as I imagined they would be. This is your dream photographer. Trust me.
