As unexperienced photo subjects, my partner and I had so much fun and guidance throughout the whole process. Starting from what to wear, where to shoot, to how to pose, and even entertaining our silly ideas. Even though I came in a bit wary and awkward about how I'd come across, Michael did a great job to make sure that we were comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Great feedback and encouragement as we shot and I remember one prompt in particular. He told me to think about my favorite food as I looked at my partner. It's little things like that that I really appreciated about our session. We felt beautiful and are extremely grateful to have entrusted Michael to capture our essence. Just like with many things in life, a sense of trust and safety allows people to shine and it's a wonderful thing to be able to see that reflected in our photos. We will cherish them for a long time to come and can't wait til the next time!Vivir Photography's reply:
You and Nick were a treat to photograph! Thanks for being open to collaboration and my suggestions with the outfits and prompts! -

Kathryn Sent on 02/18/2024Amazing Photos! So happy.
Michael was so easy to work with. He was calm, organized, and fun! Most importantly, the photos turned out amazing! He paid close attention to detail and gave us small directions when we needed them. We couldn’t be happier with the end result.
On top of that, we loved working with him. He dealt with our rambunctious family gracefully and professionally. He was also really flexible when we asked to upgrade our package. We‘ll hire him again when the occasion arises! -

Justin C. Sent on 01/13/2023Incredible photos and fantastic experience with Michael!
My wife and I hired Michael to photograph our wedding. When we met with him to discuss our ceremony, it was clear that he was very experienced and professional. We explained that our wedding would be an immediately family only ceremony in a friend's backyard, followed by a Chinese tea ceremony, and he immediately was able to tell us his plan for photographing the day. We didn't even have to explain the tea ceremony process, and he was already familiar with many other cultures' wedding traditions!
On wedding day, Michael was so easy to work with. He arrived early to understand and photograph the setup. During the ceremony, I didn't even know he was there taking photos. Afterwards, he gave us plenty of direction of where to stand, how to pose and, because we were outside, where to face and stand for scenic shots. He was very friendly and funny and will make you feel like you've known him for a long time. We appreciated that he didn't try to rush through the photos and took time to accommodate our requests as well.
Michael sent us preview photos soon enough that we could include them in thank you cards, and the rest came much sooner than expected. They were incredible photos and the emotions of the day came rushing back looking though them, as they captured the moments perfectly. I could not recommend Michael enough and would definitely hire him again for future occasions!Vivir Photography's reply:
Thank you much for your review, Justin, I was honored to be your photographer! The location and atmosphere of your wedding were so beautiful and I'm glad the day was just as you and Kylee wanted. Congratulations! -

Anyone who has been married will tell you that the wedding day is stressful, for a number of reasons. Fortunately, Michael was a breath of fresh air and a calming influence as his style of photography is professional as well as fluid. My wife and I are goofy, love to laugh, and we wanted that reflected in our photos. We also wanted the "serious" shots as well. Michael was able to accommodate all of our wishes and did so with ease. Our final portfolio is incredible! It encompasses the entire event from getting ready to the final songs on the dance floor. Looking through our photos I am able to truly relive my wedding and the loving moments shared with my wife and our family and friends. 5 stars across the board, Michael and Vivir are the way to go. -

User1801528 Sent on 09/09/2014Michael impressed us from the very beginning. He was relaxed and professional and took interest in getting to know me and my groom. He was interested in all facets of us, not just our love story like other photographers. We found that we shared many interests and aesthetics and feel we formed a friendship along the way that made the day completely comfortable. Michael was prompt and attentive on our day and was able to give great suggestions for shots. We have beautiful, amazing memories thanks to him. I highly recommend him.

Nikki Sent on 06/03/2014Michael was fantastic and we would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!
Photography was on the top of our list for our wedding day, right after we booked our venue I set out looking for the "right" photography company for us. We found a few companies that we liked but nothing that really "wow'd" me until we found Vivir Photography. I loved how real the emotions looked in his photos and after we met with Michael we found out why.
He's such a nice and down to earth guy, we ended up talking with him for two hours at our first meeting and it just felt like talking to a friend, someone who really cared about us and wanted to make sure we got everything we wanted out of our wedding photos. On the wedding day he was so easy to work with and he helped everyone stay relaxed while we were taking our photos. I thought the family photos were going to feel like a routine but Michael was laughing and smiling the whole time as he moved people a little here and there and, before I knew it, we had everything!
Once we got our photos I loved all the candid moments he was able to capture too, there were times where we completely forgot he was even in the room until we saw the photos! It was such a great experience and I'm so happy we made the right choice going with him as our photographer!
