  Best photographer ever!

  My husband and I first met Mike at a local brewery in Paso Robles in 2019 when we were still dating. As we got to know Mike on a personal level we knew we wanted him to capture our wedding even though we weren’t engaged yet.
  When we did get engaged Mike was the first vendor we hired for our destination wedding in Oahu.
  Mike traveled to Oahu a few days before our wedding and checked out our venue.
  He is super easy to work with, gets group and family shots done in a timely manner plus he makes lots of dad jokes.
  We are so happy with our wedding pictures
  10/10.

  Absolutely Incredible!

  Finding the perfect wedding photographer was high on our priority list, since these photos were going to highlight and capture the most wonderful day of our lives! We chose Michael Stephens Photography, and we were blown away! He is such a joy to be around and work with. At times, I forgot we were even being photographed and he captured so many incredible candid moments. I could not have asked for a better experience and he took so many beautiful photos!

  Michael is the absolute best!

  Don't bother searching any further, truly.
  
  We hired Michael for our wedding in May 2023. He came highly recommended by two other friends who hired him for their weddings, and it's easy to see why. Not only are his photos amazing, but on the big day, he was more than a photographer - he was a guide that helped us from one step to the next in the busy schedule. His presence is warm and positive, which really put us at ease. He is a pro with group portraits and we were able to knock them out super fast and get back to enjoying the festivities. We are so thrilled with the results and will treasure the photos and memories for years to come. Thank you, Michael!

  Amazing pictures and the easiest experience!

  Mike was FANTASTIC! From our very first call to the post-wedding follow-up on our beautiful photos, the entire process was easy, comfortable, and stress-free. We couldn't be happier with our photos and the overall experience!

  Amazing Wedding Photos!

  We had a wonderful experience working with Mike as our wedding photographer! He is professional, funny and he takes amazing photographs. He was even able to acquire a second photographer, per our request, and they captured some unforgettable moments for us. We are so grateful! Thank you, Mike (and Lindsay)!

  Best photographer ever!

  Mike is a long time family friend who is always there for my husband and I! He took our ABSOLUTELY STUNNING engagement and wedding photos. We swoon over them every time we look at them.
  He is very professional and prompt with responses and ideas, and also open to hearing what is important to us and making that his priority.
  He is so much fun to work with! Making us laugh, smile, dance and feel free to just be our candid selves. He captured every important, special moment while also helping us stay present and calm.
  We love him so much and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and friend! We will forever cherish our pictures and memories that he did such a wonderful job providing. Thank you so much for making our wedding day so seemless and perfect Mike you are the best!

  A true professional AND a joy to be around...

  Let's be honest, if you're considering hiring Michael, you've seen all the awards and accolades - and they're all justified. He's an amazing photographer, I think his work speaks for itself.
  
  Beyond that, he's a great guy. Super chill and funny and worked with us when we had to reschedule due to the pandemic. Most importantly (other than the aforementioned great photos), is that our guests loved him. He got everyone to smile without saying "cheese", made small talk when appropriate, and was just all-around one of those vendors that really elevates the event.
  
  I don't plan on getting married again, but I'd hire Michael in a second for anything that required high-quality photos (or just to have a beer).

  Lucky we found mike, truly the best

  I think mike was the best part of our wedding. His photos speak for themselves, check out his gallery. We’re not big into photos and don’t have social media so was not expecting to like our pictures so much. We did an engagement session with mike at Monte de Oro and he went over time, taking pictures with so many backdrops. We felt like we had gotten six photos sessions in one. As I mentioned, we are not very good at taking pictures but mike made us feel very comfortable with candid laughs and tips on how to “pose” in a way that was flattering yet natural. He turned the photos quickly and WOW they were freaking fantastic. His photos aren’t just pictures with a fancy camera, mike has a special eye to capture unique beautiful photos that span close ups to landscape views (again, check out his gallery!) In prep for wedding day, Mike had us fill out a questionnaire to ensure we got all the photo variations we wanted and followed the timeline to a tee. Again, super natural and made everyone crack up for candid photos. Every time we had a call with mike, we jived and ended up shooting the sht. Just a genuine guy. Mike was a bit pricier than others but well worth it and to be honest, worth much more than what we paid. We feel lucky he was available for our wedding date and that we decided to splurge to book him vs another basic photographer. Mike has converted us and we will be coming back for more! BOOK MIKE!

  Fun, talented, quality photographer!

  Michael made my wedding as great as it was by capturing all the little moments, the big moments and adding a great energy to the whole night. After the wedding, i had so many people reach out and comment on what a great presence he was, and that you can tell he’s experienced in the field. He made everyone so comfortable, and made us laugh. My favorite part of the night was when he went above and beyond to get the COOLEST pictures of my husband and i laying in a boat, in the middle of a pond, using a drone to take the pictures. He was always available when I had a question leading up to the event, and he was so easy going the day of. I would highly highly recommend. 💕

  Photographer Blessing

  Note: Review is based solely on my experience and communications thus far with Michael. The year is 2020, and well..... COVID. Unfortunately, my fiance and I were unable to get married as planned this year. We still have Michael booked for our 2021 wedding and are very much looking forward to having him shoot it for us! I did however, want to review our communications and experience with him thus far, because he has been AH-mazing. This horrific year has forced us to reschedule our wedding twice and speaking with Mike has been so comforting. He's been perfectly understanding and supportive with having to move things around so many times. It speaks volume to his professionalism as that has not been my experience with other vendors. He was so willing to work with the difficulties of this year and I'm just so appreciative. I can't wait until our wedding day and to have the ability to look back on such great memories.

  FUN Experience, BEAUTIFUL Pictures!

  I cannot express how AMAZING Mike is. From the very moment we spoke with him, I knew that he was the photographer for us. His work is impeccable and can speak for itself.. But even better- His personality and the experience you have working with Mike, makes it that much more special. He makes you feel comfortable and confident, also while having fun. He allows you to be you and does not make you feel too posed or awkward at all during your time together. Also, Mike was able to wrangle our rowdy group and make it easy to get the pictures done efficiently. Something I found truly special was that he made sure to pull me and my husband aside and reminded us and allowed us a moment to enjoy those first few moments as a newly married couple away from the chaos. This was very special and could have been easily missed for a busy day. My husband is one who does not enjoy getting his photos taken and Mike made this an easy task for Jeremy. We have enjoyed working with Mike and will be referring him to everyone we know for professional photography! THANK YOU MIKE!!

  I cannot express how AMAZING Mike is. From the very moment we spoke with him, I knew that he was the photographer for us. His work is impeccable and can speak for itself.. But even better- His personality and the experience you have working with Mike, makes it that much more special. He makes you feel comfortable and confident, also while having fun. He allows you to be you and does not make you feel too posed or awkward at all during your time together. Also, Mike was able to wrangle our rowdy group and make it easy to get the pictures done efficiently. Something I found truly special was that he made sure to pull me and my husband aside and reminded us and allowed us a moment to enjoy those first few moments as a newly married couple away from the chaos. This was very special and could have been easily missed for a busy day. My husband is one who does not enjoy getting his photos taken and Mike made this an easy task for Jeremy. We have enjoyed working with Mike and will be referring him to everyone we know for professional photography! THANK YOU MIKE!!

  Best photographer EVER!

  Michael is the best photographer EVER! We converted our large wedding to a micro pandemic wedding held outside in Pismo at the end of the big fires. The circumstances were tough for sure but he was outstanding. Michael was professional and helpful in so many detailed ways - bringing calm, charm, and laughter to us all. All of our guests asked me where I found him and expressed how much they appreciated him. With Michael as your photographer, you cannot go wrong. Michael - thank you for making our day so magnificent and memorable. You are very talented.

  Amazing Photographer

  Michael was amazing to work with, and he took gorgeous photos of our little ceremony! He was super communicative and made planning extremely easy. His upbeat and cheery personality really helped break the ice if anyone felt awkward having their photo taken. He also helped guide us in how we should pose to maiximize the perfect shots! I can't express how much we love the photos, they truly captured how special that day was for everyone. Would absolutely recommend him!

  Great pics without losing focus of the day ;)

  Mike was great to work with for our wedding day and I would HIGHLY recommend him. He is great at getting you to look natural and smile without having to force anything. He helped a lot with the flow of the day and took BEAUTIFUL pictures. Of all of our vendors, Mike was our favorite to work with.

  Amazing photos! Mike is the best!

  We met Mike at one of the wedding expos we attended and felt an instant connection. He is very friendly and down-to-earth! Not only is his work amazing, but he made us very comfortable during our sessions. He was also extremely helpful on our wedding day! He went above and beyond in making the process as easy as possible. Our photos turned out so beautiful and wonderful thanks to him! :)

  Simply amazing and extremely satisfied

  Michael Stephens Photography is everything that you could ask for and more! He absolutely exceeded our expectations in every way that one could imagine. After my then fiancé proposed to me in Italy, I immediately started to research photographers in the SLO area as my husband and I love photography and we both agreed that our first vendor selection would be a photographer. We both fell in love with Michael’s brilliant eye and the beautiful scenes that he would capture; he was absolutely everything that we were looking for. And, luckily enough, he was at a vendor fair, which made for the perfect opportunity to meet him. He was so funny and he even took the time to leave his booth and introduce us to other vendors...we fell in love! Everything went so well with him as far as communication, contract and discussion of picture ideas. He made me feel so comfortable at the wedding and I’m so grateful for that because our pictures are absolutely everything that we had hoped for and more. Also, his photo booth was a hit at our wedding, do yourself a favor and add it to your booking! We are eternally grateful for Michael and Marc. Please, I beg of you, book your special day, or any special event for that matter, with Michael Stephens Photography as you will be just has satisfied, happy and grateful as we truly are!
