    We were very happy that Mike was available for our wedding. After reviewing the online portfolios of a dozen photographers, he was our first choice. His photos and staging lived up to our expectations, and his pricing is really reasonable. He was very flexible with our timing (very relaxed wedding) and his knowledge of the driftwood beach led to some beautiful shots. We would definitely recommend his services.

    We hired Mike Force to photograph our daughter's wedding on St. Simons Island. My husband and I live on St. Simons, but our daughter lives overseas, so we interviewed many of the local photographers and presented her with the results. It was important to us to capture the day and memories via high quality photos, but also to stay within our overall modest budget for the wedding. On a visit home, our daughter met with Mike and she hired him to shoot the wedding based on several factors including ease in talking with him, the quality of his portfolio, flexibility in designing the contract based on their specific circumstances, and the overall cost of the service (which included a discount because the groom is in the military). We are thrilled with the results! The pictures are outstanding and capture the love; the beauty of the couple and our island; and the excitement of the wedding. Mike and his wife, Maggie, were easy to work with and were flexible on the day of the wedding when the schedule didn't go as planned. We highly recommend Mike Force Photography if you are planning a wedding in the Golden Isles!

    Mike and Maggie were AMAZING and so easy and fun to work with! I'm so glad we ended up choosing them. I couldn't be more happy. I've already referred them to a friend of mine who has an upcoming wedding that she is planning. I'm so glad we were able to have them be a part of our special day. :)

    I can not say enough about this team of photographers! I was an out of town bride and got a lot of my information from wedding wire and other sites. I decided to call Mike for my photographer and after talking with him on the phone I knew I did not have to look any further. I would soon find out later that I made the best decision and perhaps the most important decision of my wedding; besides now that it is all over all I have are the gorgeous photos and of course the memories:) I had Mike do a shoot of me before the wedding. This was also a great decision because I was able to get to know he and maggie more and I was even more excited about my wedding photos because I could not get over how gorgeous this shoot was!! Mike and Maggie are really down to earth and I told them from the beginning my pictures were the most important thing to me. I explained to them what I wanted and got that plus more. All I had was a vision; I explained my vision and they took it from there. I still can not get over how gorgeous my photos are and neither can my guest. However, this does make it hard to choose!:)))) But I would rather it be hard to choose than dread opening my wedding album, like I have heard from other brides. And, you do get a c.d. with copywright release (unheard of from a lot of photographers). The price is also unbeatable for what you get. You really get alot from this team. I got over 1100 images! Beautiful images! An album, c.d.of all images, dvd (very sweet) and a portrait. Through it all, Mike and Maggie became my friends, that's just how nice they are. You will not see them as your "vendor" after you work with them. Thank you Mike and Maggie for everything, you have let me have memories for a lifetime. I hope to see you soon!

    You two are awesome. We had so much fun at your wedding talk about a beautiful couple. Katy, wish you lived Darby because I'd photograph you all the time. Thanks again.

    We chose Mike to be our photographer based on his work. We had looked at alot of photographers in Savannah but we had met with Mike and he was very friendly and down to earth. We had chose to take alot of the pictures before the ceremony and Mike was willing to do that for us. We wanted alot of fun shots and we definitely got that with Mike. He was very professional and we had alot of really great pictures. He had our whole day worth of pictures up on his website the very next morning so all of our guests could view them. You can't beat his price and his work is wonderful. Thank you for making us lasting memories that we will hold on to forever.

    Andrea - thank you so much. We loved working with you and being a part of your special day.

    Mike and Maggie are wonderful to work with. They are a great team and have wonderful ideas and creativity to give you the most beautiful wedding pictures you could ever ask for. They were even patient and great working with my very divided family. Could not ask for a better photographer or better wedding pictures. Thank you both so much.

    Thanks Stephany
    We love you guys.
    Best of luck for the future.

    Mike did such a wonderful job with my wedding and reception photography! He was very personable and interacted very well with all the guests--kids and adults alike. At the reception, I really forgot that he and his wife were there, but they captured all the important shots. They were very flexible with my choices for outdoor and indoor shots as well as random pictures that I wanted taken. I must have had over 1300 pictures to choose from. I'm actually getting a bride album because there were just so many good pictures!

    We stopped by his studio on the way out of town, and he walked us through our choices for albums and gave us our CDs of all the pictures before we left.

    If I had it to do all over again, I would choose Mike Force!

    You guys were the greatest. Our pleasure shooting your wedding.

    Mike and Maggie did a great job at my wedding. They were very patient when we were not ready. (Sorry Mike!) but made great use with his time as to take pics of the surrounding areas while we dressed. They were there until we left the reception and if I wanted a picture taken they were not far away to ask. Thanks Again for everything!

    The photographs are FANTASTIC!! We are very pleased with all the photos taken by Mike and Maggie. They are a great team. They are professional, flexible, patient and fun all at the same time. They never seemed to get flustered in the midst of chaos--they were always even keeled. Their creativity is awesome and we are thrilled with those special photos that show they went the extra mile to capture a cool, funky shot. Mike was very easy to reach by telephone and email. He always responded very quickly. We highly recommend Mike Force Photography!!! Stephanie & Christie Kaminski (mom and bride)

    Mike Force and his staff were wonderful! They were very patient with me when scheduling the bridal shoots and engagement shoots. I was very pleased to see them stay for the wedding ceremony and reception capturing every moment on film until the very end. I would have expected most photographers to take a few pictures through the first part and leave. If I ever need a photographer for any reason, Mike Force Photography is the only photographer I will use! I have given his name to many couples planning a wedding.

    Kaycee You and Derek were fantastic to work with. Best wishes to you both on your life together.

    He spent a great deal of time getting to know what we wanted for our album (style, photos, candids, etc.). We talked with a lot of photographers but Mike was head and shoulders above the rest.
    He calls himself a "Freestyle Wedding Photographer". He mixes formals with candids with funky with emotions......
    He catches everything.
    He shot over 1100 photogaphs at our wedding and worked with us to select the ones we wanted for our album. He designed the album pages personally and is a Master at it. It's beautiful.
    We can't say enough about him.

    He's everywhere on the wedding day. His shooting time was unlimited and he didn't miss a thing. He got there while we were doing makeup and didn't leave until after we did. He climbs trees, lays on the ground and does whatever it takes to get the great shots. Used an assistant the whole time. Even did separate bridal and engagement shoots for us (part of the package).
    He creates his own album pages and they are Beautiful. The turnaround was FAST.
    Couldn't be happier. He's great and enjoys his work.

    Mike was such a pleasure to work with! We hired him to do our engagement and wedding photos. He is extremely easy to work with and always had time to meet or to talk on the phone, even meeting me at work when I couldn't get away. Turnaround with Mike is QUICK, I had my engagement book back in days. I couldn't be happier with the way our pictures turned out, the quality and editing were amazing. You get a lot for your money with Mike, and as a bride on a budget that's important! I recommend Mike and his wife 100%.

    Mike was excellent to work with! He was easy to contact, especially be email. I was not always available to talk with him on the phone so I had to email alot. He always replied promptly and kept us updated. Mike was also very flexible with his time. He always worked around our schedule to make appointments for our engagement shoot and bridal shoot. He was attentive to our requests and also had wonderful, creative ideas of his own to share! We recommend him highly and know our wedding and reception was captured in all of its excitement and beauty in his photographs! His work is exceptional!

    Mike did an awesome job on our wedding. We loved the pictures and wedding album. We would highly recommend them to anyone and were very pleased with the work that was done.

    Mike Force Photography's reply:

    Rachel
    We loved working with you and your now husband. I was surprised to read your review. You emailed me last week with:
    oh my gosh I love.................................. the album, thank you so much!!!!! It is incredible, we received it on our 2 month anniversary, so perfect! The 16 x 20 we would like is of the one that is on the last page of the album of us kissing in black and white ( we want the 16 x 20 in black and white too), it was a pleasure working with you and your wife and if we hear of anyone getting married or needing a photographer we will recommend YOU!

    We can never, nor do we claim to, keep family members in one spot for formals. All brides are sent a shoot schedule well before the wedding with times and locations for formals. For the most part we can't even identify who the family members are; we've never met them.
    We notify the bride and groom that it's up to them to identify who they want in formal pics.
    Anyway, we did love working with you and are waiting for the call for maternity and baby pics.

    We hired Mike Force to photograph our wedding. After paying him thousands of dollars, he pulled the bait and switch and have us 2 less than mediocre photographers. After reviewing their pictures, there were MAYBE 15 good ones. 3 years later, we have still not received our engagement pics, our weddings pics, note have we received the album we paid for. I would NOT recommend this photographer or his company.

    Mike Force Photography's reply:

    I am flabbergasted. I had an awesome photographer and an assistant from my team photograph this wedding and I would be more than happy to post the images for anyone to see. They contracted for a wedding album and are yet to select the images they want for it..after a year and a half of contacting them to select their images, I gave up. However, I would be more than happy to repost the images for them to select and create them an awesome album. Designed by me and printed and bound by Graphi Studio in Italy not many photographers would go that fat. The contract specifically gives them 6 months to select their images but I never hold brides to that. Look at my ratings Bobby Jo. Please contact me at mikeforce@mail.com to get your images reported and MAKE YOUR SELECTIONS.
