Book Mike & Gina – You will be SO happy!

Mike & Gina are true gems! Not only are they incredibly sweet and personable, but they produce quality photographs that take you back to your memorable day as if you were experiencing it all over again.
After our proposal shoot at Carmel Valley Ranch, we liked Mike and Gina so much we continued to celebrate with them over wine on the pool terrace.
We cannot be happier with their service and product. Highly recommend them to any future couple, company, or family!

proposal photography

Mike and his wife are awesome! They were recommended to me by the people at carmel valley ranch, where i was planning my proposal during a weekend getaway. I have a very demanding job so getting away to make calls can be tough,but 2 phone conversations and a few text with Mike and he helped figure everything out, including the where and how as he was familiar with the location. Beyond that, he went to pick up the flowers for me so that i wouldn't pay delivery fees, and him and his wife acted a bit when it came time for the proposal to make the proposal extra special.
He caught some amazing shots, and made us feel comfortable, matter a fact he wasn't in our face he just let us be and focused on the moments.This is coming from someone who's very uncomfortable with pictures and can't pose to save his life. His directions were, walk this way, hold hands and then he worked his magic. He had the photos edited and uploaded in about 7 days, where we were able to download photos in multiple formats (print/social media) and have a phone friendly version He's price is relatively the same as most photographers but i got wayyyyyyy more than i paid for, absolutely amazing service. They truly care and are happy to capture these moments. Would use again

Mike was amazing!! He had such great energy, and so many people commented to me about how great his personality is. It seemed like he never stopped taking photos, and I am so excited to see all the images. The pictures that I have seen so far are works of art! He is such a friendly guy, and a joy to work with. I would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Mike!!
