    Great photographer!

    Mike was an excellent photographer. He was extremely professional, hopping on the phone for an hour to get a sense of us as a couple, establish our interests, and to give us insight into his approach to wedding photography.

    The engagement shoot with Mike was a lot of fun, he immediately established a rapport with us, which continued through to the end of our wedding. We had lots of fun stopping traffic all across Portsmouth NH to take our engagement photos, and Mike was very good about directing us to ensure that we had many photos with a variety of poses.

    With our wedding, Mike was a photographer, coordinator, and constant source of entertainment. He helped the groom pin his boutonnière, directed the bride to the first look, entertained the children, and wrangled a large wedding party to knock out all of our day-of photos.

    We cannot recommend Mike enough and wish him all the best in the future!

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Wow. Just wow. Mike was incredible!!! We hired him for our wedding that was originally supposed to be in June, but ended up rescheduling to October & much much smaller because of covid. He was so accommodating and flexible as we cancelled, postponed & rescheduled our big day. He was so easy to get in touch with & incredibly responsive and timely when replying.

    The day of he arrived on time & immediately made us feel comfortable. He is SO friendly & brought such a calming energy for the second he arrived at our venue. He captured EVERYTHING - our first look, dress, the men getting ready, the bridesmaids, the ceremony, first dances & everything was absolutely beautiful.
    ALSO - when we did our couples portraits together, he was a great hype man as well. He did an amazing job capturing the essence of our relationship - every single picture he sent was flawless.

    We cannot say enough about how amazing our experience - I would hire him again in a heartbeat. A high quality photographer was one of the things we knew we wanted to spend money on & we are SO thrilled we went with Mike.

    OH! & he got us our edited pictures within a WEEK of our wedding...which was so fun to share with family and friends who couldn't attend our wedding because of covid. Thank you thank you thank you for your beautiful work & capturing our special day. You are 15/10 amazing!

    Amazing Wedding Photographer!!

    My husband, Matt, and I are so thankful to Mike for perfectly capturing our wedding day! We are so appreciative that we have the most beautiful photos to treasure forever now that our big day has passed. We sincerely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    We first met Mike when he photographed our best friends’ wedding during the summer of 2018. We loved his positive work ethic that day, and were so impressed with their photos once we saw them! When we got engaged just a couple of months later we knew we wanted to hire Mike as our wedding photographer and thankfully he had that one date in September still available! From the start of our wedding planning process Mike was incredibly kind, communicative, flexible, easy-going, and seemed so excited to work with us, which really made us feel so comfortable. Our engagement session with Mike was so fun and easy! He was very helpful in suggesting some dates and times, as well as locations, and we were able to choose a location that was really meaningful to us. The photos he took that day were absolutely beautiful and he got them back to us in just a couple of weeks, which was amazing!

    Prior to our wedding, we had numerous check ins with Mike to ensure we were all on the same page; we always felt like he was really listening to us and genuinely wanted to get a good sense of our ideas. The day of our wedding, Mike arrived early to our venue and checked right in with us about his plan. He has a very relaxed presence which made for a really fun ‘photo shoot’ throughout the day! He came prepared with our list of photo asks, along with some ideas of his own, based on what we had discussed during prior conversations. Throughout the whole day, Mike was all over capturing amazing nature photos, candids of our guests, photos of our venue details, and of course photos of us and our families and friends. Something noticed by both ourselves and our guests is that he was all over the place throughout our wedding and reception trying to capture as many moments and details as possible during the time he was with us that day; however, he was not in any way distracting or intrusive – this can’t be easy, but Mike does it very well! The day after our wedding, Mike sent our ‘sneak peek’ with a few photos (less than 24 hours after our wedding!) and they were absolutely beautiful! We were SO excited to get a sense of what he captured and were so excited to see the rest. He sent us our completed photo gallery within 3 weeks of our wedding, which seems to be almost unheard of in the wedding photography world. Mike truly understands the importance of getting photos edited and back to folks ASAP which was so nice from our perspective!

    Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our most important day. We are so pleased with Mike and his work, and we loved working with him over the past year or so. In our eyes, he is everything you’d want in a wedding photographer; communicative, reliable, detailed, creative, personable, fair pricing, amazing quality, efficient, effective, and caring. He genuinely cares about making his brides/grooms happy and that was invaluable in our eyes.

    Thank you again, Mike!
    Matt & Katherine

    Oh gosh...where to even begin. Just stop reading reviews and book Mike now! He was so incredible both in personality and skill-wise. We had so much fun with him on our engagement shoot and couldn't wait to see him again for the wedding. He truly went above and beyond for us, getting to the venue extra early to get the lay of the land and going that extra mile to make sure he captured some amazing photos for us. He was smiling from ear to ear the entire time, so excited for our day, and kept us and our whole wedding party laughing the entire time. We can't wait to see our wedding photos, but if they're anything like our engagement ones, they're going to be spectacular! Thank you so much for everything Mike!!

    Stop searching and book Mike Sears Photography!!! Mike is an absolute pleasure to work with; he's super friendly, extremely responsive, and incredibly talented! Our wedding and engagement photos are absolutely gorgeous. We love Mike's timeless, elegant style; our pictures are classic yet creative without being overly-posed or over-edited. Plus, Mike has an amazing eye for photography and captured so many unique and special moments from our wedding. We also loved "practicing" for our wedding photos with a fun engagement shoot. My now-husband and I were a bit nervous, since we had no clue how to pose for the camera, but Mike's collected demeanor and friendly encouragement put us right at ease. Plus, he kept us laughing with his funny exclamations whenever he got a particularly good shot ("That's kickass!"). The best part about hiring Mike Sears was having peace of mind at our wedding, knowing all the important moments of our day would be well-documented. We received a few preview photos within just hours of the wedding and the rest of our photos within two weeks. I felt so emotional looking through our gallery, knowing I could always re-experience the magic and happiness of our wedding day. Our wedding was an amazing blur, but we will have these beautiful memories forever! Mike--thank you so much for beautifully capturing our favorite wedding moments and all the moments that we missed! We're so glad we entrusted you with our wedding day. You are truly kickass! :)

    We had such a fantastic experience working with Mike! We were planning a New England wedding remotely from New York City and Mike made everything easy. He was always accessible for even the silliest questions by email or phone, and his friendliness and good humor kept us at ease. On the day of the wedding Mike was on time, relaxed, and fun. He took charge of family photos, and even wrangled our two nephews for good shots by the ocean! We were so excited to get sneak peek shots the morning after the wedding, and as we've been looking at our digital album, we are so happy with all the moments Mike was able to capture. From formal moments during the ceremony, to candid shots of friends, to partying on the dance floor, Mike captured it all with elegance and style!

    Mike was the best to work with! He helped us prepare for the day ahead of time so that everything was set leading into our wedding day. He was super responsive throughout the process. Our pictures came out beautiful, he caught some of the best moments of the day, and even stayed late when people kept asking him to take pictures of them ;) He made our wedding day even more fun (which didn't seem possible) and he had our pictures out to us in only about 8-10 days!
