Shelby Sent on 12/06/2025The BEST Pittsburgh Photographer
Michael is the absolute BEST! We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have Michael capture our big day. From engagement photos a few months prior, he immediately made us feel comfortable and was so fun to be around! Fast forward to our wedding day and it was more perfect than we could have imagined. Michael worked seamlessly with our venue and wedding planner to ensure we stayed on schedule and still somehow captured every single second of the day. Michael and his second shooter Jake were a blast to hang out with and our bridal party immediately felt at ease with them. They were so helpful in gathering us and giving tips for poses to ensure everyone looked their best! Multiple times throughout the day a funny or special moment would be happening and I would turn to see Michael and/or Jake already capturing it. Their creativity and passion for shooting the most stunning and authentic photos from the day was beyond our wildest dreams. And the photos are UNREAL! We haven’t stopped scrolling through them and every time we catch something new and special. When we learned it was light up night and there would be fireworks, Michael and Jake didn’t hesitate to stay a little longer to shoot some rooftop pics and that will always be one of our favorite memories of the night! These photos will surely be hung throughout our home and cherished for a lifetime. We will forever be grateful for Michael and the gift of his photos to relive our day for years to come! -

If I could give Michael and his second shooter, John, more than five stars, I would in a heartbeat. From the moment they arrived, they made us feel completely comfortable and confident, not just in ourselves, but in their ability to capture the essence of our day.
I was nervous about the timeline and making sure we’d get every shot I had dreamed of. Michael checked in throughout the day and reassured me we were right on schedule. And he was right—he captured everything with such calm, grace, and precision.
Michael didn’t just take photos; he preserved moments. He made us feel calm, beautiful, and fully present. I would recommend him a million times over. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s both a true artist and a calming presence on a big day, Michael is the one. -

Sydney Sent on 05/04/2022The Best Choice of our Wedding Day
My husband and I cannot stop raving about how happy we are that we chose Michael as our photographer for our wedding day. Michael was so easy to work with and we had such a great time with him both at our engagement session and on our wedding day. My husband hates having his picture taken but he keeps saying how comfortable Michael made him and easy it was for the photoshoots. Michael was the utmost professional and has a keen awareness of his clients and what they want for their photos even if the couple doesn't realize what they want. His photos perfectly fit the vibe of our wedding and I couldn't be happier with him as our wedding photographer. -

Photos and Personality - a perfect choice for our wedding!
MichaelWill Photographers was nothing short of professional, creative, organized, and fun! Michael was our only consideration for a photographer after sending out inquiries to multiple photographers because he CALLED us. His response to our online inquiry was speedy and we connected quickly - he understood our vision and wishes but immediately started collaborating with his own creative ideas. He made us confident in our decision and did not disappoint! After our pre-wedding planning meeting so much of my anxiety about many aspects of our wedding were gone because Michael had led us through a thoughtful, organized timeline that left me feeling completely calm. This was definitely not his first rodeo!
Michael, and his second photographer Jacob, were fantastic from the first minute they arrived! They were seamlessly able to insert themselves into every situation, being smooth and inconspicuous yet always in the right spot to catch spontaneous photo ops. They captured amazing memories with such care and enthusiasm - we couldn't have made a better choice!
Michael, your passion for your craft is infectious, and your consideration and thoughtfulness for everyone and each unique photo op made it so fun to work with you! (Oh, and you're kind of funny, too!) Thank you for being a part of our perfect day! -

Melissa Sent on 12/17/2020+11/10 Would Recommend!
+11/10 would recommend! Michael is equal parts talented, professional, and fun! His clear gift at capturing timeless moments and memories is what drew us to him, but his personality is what sealed the deal for my husband and I! If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, keep in mind that you’ll be with them almost all day, so you want to make sure the two of you jive well together, and Mike was honestly so easy to get along with. He made us smile and laugh through our entire engagement session and wedding day… and it showed in our photos! We’ve received so many compliments from family and friends on how genuinely happy we look in Michael’s images. Very prompt at replying to emails and quick turn around time with photographs and products after our sessions. We’re so happy we had you for our big day, Mike! Thank you again! -

Sarah Sent on 11/07/2019The best!
After our venue, Michael Will was the first vendor we booked. My husband and I both agree that photos are the best way to relive the best day of your life. And aside from the important marriage, the only thing you have after that day is done. Because of this we wanted to make sure we found the best photographer that jived with us. Boy did he deliver!
We set up a meeting with Michael Will after seeing his work at a vendor fair at our venue, his was the only work that we actually liked at the fair. Then after talking to him and meeting him it was immediately evident we had to book him. He is the coolest, most down to earth guy who also happens to take breathtaking photos!
We lucked out and he was super familiar with our venue, Succop Nature Park. Not only had he shot many other weddings there, but he got married there also! His enthusiasm for the venue, particularly photography at this venue was awesome!
Before the wedding he helped me set up a photography timeline that helped us plan out the rest of the day effortlessly. He also went over everything he would do and capture as well as asked what we wanted. And when I say he is up for anything, he is up for ANYTHING. My husband and I love the idea of capturing the moment much more than posed photos and Michael Will got TONS of these moments without being intrusive. He also made everyone, and I mean even those stubborn “I hate getting my picture taken” people feel 100% comfortable.
Also did I mention he’s funny? We had A BLAST working with him and his partner. We also loved how he helped us create some memories that we otherwise wouldn’t. He did some sunset photos and this allowed us 15 minutes to ourselves to really spend time together, soak it in, and observe our wedding. He captured us playing frisbee with my brother, he captured us eating s’mores with my best friend, and the endless AWESOME dance floor photos.
But my favorite of all is obviously the photos of my husband and I. They glow with our happiness from the best day of our life, the silliness we share, and our love for each other. I’ve already started trying to find another reason to book Michael Will, he can attest to this ha! You will not regret booking him, I promise! -

Well Worth!!
Michael Will is well worth everything! If there is one thing I will say when it comes to your vendors of what is a priority it should be your photographer because your pictures are the one thing that you are going to have after the wedding and remember. I will tell you Michael Will Photography is well worth everything, he has a vision for photographs and he makes you have FUN during your time with him on the day and makes you feel so relaxed! My husband and I kept joking with one another of who would get Michael and my husband kept saying he wanted him as he got ready! You will not regret your choice, we just got our previews of some of our wedding photos from our day and they are absolutely breathtaking! We cannot wait for the rest of them and we know they are going to be amazing! -

Best photos ever
Having Michael Will as our photographer was one of the BEST decisions we made for the whole wedding! I cannot even begin to describe how much we love our photos. He captured all of the important moments during the day in a way that felt candid but looks so professional, flattering, and artistic. He and Jacob were also really great to hang out with during the day, so friendly and warm towards all my guests. The whole wedding party raved about how much fun they had (even the groomsmen who told me they were dreading the "photo taking" part of the day). Honestly, you end up spending more time with your photographer than any single guest on your wedding day, so this is important! My fiancé joked that it wouldn't even matter if the photos were bad because we had such a good time shooting them. Except that the photos are the best pictures we have ever had taken of us by a mile! I really cannot get over how stunning they are. And I could go on raving forever, but I will just conclude by saying that Michael Will is the best wedding photographer in Pittsburgh and you should hire him if you want incredible photos. -

Christina Sent on 05/05/2019Our Photos are Stunning
Michael & Jake are the dream team. They were not only super fun to work with on the day of our wedding, but the photos they took are stunning. They openly listened to all of our ideas and we got some amazingly cool shots. We'd highly recommend working with Michael if you want the best photographer in Western PA to shoot your wedding! -

Sinthana Sent on 11/18/2018One of our best decisions for the wedding
Michael was one of the first and best decisions we made for our wedding. He came highly recommended from anyone and everyone we spoke to, from his incredible work to his incredible personality. He is such a bright presence, helping even my husband's and my awkward selves feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera! We brought our dogs to our big days and Michael was able to get some amazing photos of and with them. He truly captured our best moments during our engagement photos and the wedding days. Thank you thank you thank you. -

Kate Sent on 01/02/2018Michael was my photographer for my November wedding. I was very nervous about hiring my photographer - I knew I wasn't having any videography so the only memories (in physical form) I would have would come from photography. When I spoke to Michael, he immediately put my nerves at ease. I was doing a 6:00 p.m. wedding in November with first look. Eek! No natural light photos with my husband-to-be. I was nervous. And I spoke to many photographers who told me my idea was silly. Michael, on the other hand, had total confidence in the situation and told me we would rock it. He followed up with tons of links to indoor weddings he had done in our venue. I signed on the dotted line that day and I'm glad I did. Michael's prices aren't cheap, but he's worth it. He brings a great energy to the day and makes you enjoy the process of having your photo taken over and over and over again. Dare I say, our engagement session was actually fun (I was dreading it haha). I knew I made a sacrifice by choosing to not have natural light photos with my now husband (and it's true, I do enjoy the outdoor photos with my bridesmaids more than I like the photos with my husband), but that was my choice and the photos I DO have with him are still pretty good and I am happy with the overall result. Thanks, Michael :) -
Catlyn Sent on 10/30/2017Michael and his team were fabulous to work with! We cannot thank them enough for capturing the most beautiful, unique, and genuine photos of our wedding day! We loved EVERY. SINGLE. PHOTO! His associates who shot our wedding were also awesome to work with, our entire bridal party felt at ease with them said it seemed like they were old friends of ours! My husband and I look forward to working with them again for the next mile stone in our lives, someday! :)

Jeramie Sent on 06/22/2012MichaelWill took both our engagement and wedding pictures. We loved how our engagement pictures turned out and were very anxious to see what they would do at our wedding. We just saw our wedding photo's for the first time and are smiling from ear to ear. The photographers had so many awesome ideas for locations and lighting which made the process of having our photo taken enjoyable and exciting. They were very hands on to make every photo perfect-hanging off of balconies, standing on chairs, holding heavy pool table lights. I would recommend them absolutely to anyone I know getting married. -
