We loved that Michael provided just enough guidance to get the shots we needed, but mostly faded into the background so that our self-awareness of having our photo taken was never present. Trying to describe Michael’s photographic style is challenging because of how original it is—there is a candid and raw emotional side to his photography that brings the storytelling of his images to life. I find that too often wedding photographs look overly perfected, making them more about the overall image than the subjects.

Michael thinks of every detail, the images of our friends' reactions during the ceremony are something we would have never thought to ask a photographer to capture but we are so glad we have these memories! While we focused on laughing at his jokes and having fun, Michael was working his magic behind the lens and creating amazing art!

All we knew going in was that his work was more experimental and unlike what we'd seen from the more 'traditional' wedding photographers around the city. We were drawn in by his ability to take the seemingly ordinary and mundane turn it into something captivating. So, as we chatted in that coffee shop, despite our hesitation that he preferred to run solo on the day of, or didn't have the same 'experience' as other photographers we'd met with, his kindness and unique perspective on what wedding photography 'could be and look like' convinced us that it was 'worth the risk'. We now know that going with Michael was the furthest thing from a risk, as his work and photos of our wedding day is now one of our most prized possessions.

He is personable, calm, and very knowledgeable during the entirety of the shoot. He easily makes you feel warm to him, which I believe portrays through the lens! He made us feel relaxed, he positioned us in poses that he knew would turn out well, and he placed us in different locations where the light would hit perfectly. He has unique and creative vision and the pictures always turn out astounding!!!

He took the time to understand who we are as a couple and that is reflected in every photo from both our engagement session and wedding day. Both sessions wildly exceeded our expectations - he captured not just the big moments, but the little parts of our life or wedding day that would otherwise probably be forgotten in the excitement of the day.
Every guest looks beautiful in every photo- it was a pleasure selecting photos to mail to our attendees with thank you cards, and I know many of them have since been framed by the recipients. Michael somehow made that day tangible in a way I treasure.

Working with Michael was amazing, and a dream come true. My husband and I had some fun ideas for our engagement shoot and Michael was more than willing to accommodate all our ideas. Not only is he professional and easy to communicate with but he is always up for an adventure and loves to capture life’s best moments in their most natural form. For our wedding, he was able to capture emotion, celebration, movement and truly brought our pictures to life. Not only are his photos brilliant, raw, and unique but the slide shows that he creates at the end of it all, allow you to relive the moments that mean so much to you. We will never be forced to forget the small and hidden moments of our big day because he was able to capture them all. We were comfortable with him and we are so pleased with the final product. If you want your pictures breathtaking and most importantly, a representation of you and your special someone, Michael is your man. We will sure include Michael in all our special moments in life.
