    Great Photographer

    We are so happy that we chose Mike Yare Photography to capture our wedding photos! Mike and his assistant were so friendly, kind, and professional during the whole process. We will definitely be recommending them to all of our friends who will be getting married. Thank you for making our wedding day so special!

    Mike is amazing he knows his stuff. He goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. His niece Fay is amazing as well. She works side by side with him. She has an eye for great shots as well as Mike. We got two photographers for great deal, all copy rights flash drive, engagement photo session, a beautiful hard cover book with 20 pages of photos and a video. You can't beat this deal. Plus the work is spot on. Mike goes out of his way to accommodate you. So many compliments on my photos. You won't go wrong with him. We also used the photo booth.

    We loved Mike Yare photography. We had to book our photographer last minute and Mike was so helpful. He was so kind to meet us so quickly outside of Rochester and go over all of our options. While he was unable to do the actual photography for our wedding the photographers he sent in his place exceeded every expectation we could have had. Charlene and Jamie made sure to get all the perfect shots, and acted with such professionalism to get all of our pictures taken in time, but still were able to have fun with our rowdy bridal party. I would highly recommend this company, if all of Mike's assistants are this good for the price you should never look anywhere else.

    Mike Yare is amazing!!!! We booked him for our photography, videography, and photo booth for our wedding. We also had him do our engagement photos. He is truly a professional who has decades of his experience and his assistants are just as good. He is a wonderful person to work with and has a kind personality. Out of all of my vendors for our wedding, I was happy with him the most. I haven't even seen our photos yet but I know they will be truly incredible. He has such interesting ideas for photos that you really don't need to provide him with a shot list. He makes your wedding day fun and is flexible with your ideas. I am so happy we booked him for our wedding and I truly recommend him to anyone!

    Awesome Photographer

    Mike is an excellent photographer. We were married downtown at the Inn on Broadway and he took us all around downtown Rochester to get the best pictures. He brought a second photographer who was excellent and getting candid shots and different pictures then just the classic poses. Together we got so many great pictures, we are so very excited to see the final pictures. Mike also offer videography, so we also had our wedding recorded, which was awesome. Mike was great and flexible when we had an issue and had some people who couldn't attend. He made an extra video for them. I am so excited for the pictures! He got every picture I wanted, and am very happy with his service and the second photographer he brought with him. Amazing day!

    Mike Yare and his staff were kind and courteous. They were dressed professionally. They were all kind to my guests and took a ton of photos. Their 12 person photobooth was a hit during the reception! Well done Mike Yare and staff!

    Did not capture the two most important people in our wedding the groom was totally not captured in our video!

    Should have know that the quality of his work was poor when our engagement pictures came back not centered and blurry! He blamed it on a new camera lens. Then not to mention was late to the hotel the day of the wedding missing all the most important pictures and video of us getting ready, did not capture all the pictures requested. Our video never captured the groom walking down the aisle he blamed it on not knowing the wedding had started when everyone was aware not to mention we have reached out for him to correct the video and it’s been two years and he has not done that or reached out. Ruined our day and would not recommend him to anyone!
