I’m Michael — the photographer behind the camera and the friend in your corner.
I photograph weddings for couples who want their photos to feel like their day felt. The big moments, the small ones, and everything in between. I’m not here to stage your story or force fake smiles. I’m here to document the tears, the laughter, the way your people look at you, and the way you look at each other.
With a lifelong love of storytelling and a background in photojournalism, documenting your wedding day is at the top of my “favorite things to do” list. I’m all about capturing each moment as it naturally unfolds so you can focus on staying present and fully immersing yourself in the experience of your wedding day.
“If you’re looking for a photographer who takes the time to get to know you and your partner—and captures the most special moments throughout your day—then look no further!”
“Mike is truly incredible at telling a story rather than taking posed photos. He goes above and beyond and really cares about what’s important to you as a couple. He was not only an amazing photographer but ensured our day flowed flawlessly so we could get all the photos we wanted. Working with him was a pleasure, and we’ll continue to recommend him to family and friends!”

Your relationship is one-of-a-kind, and I believe your photos should be, too. I won’t give you the same old thing you’ve seen all over social media because it’s tired, overdone, and not unique to you.
Instead, I’ll get my creative juices flowing to blend candid moments with artistic flair—giving you photos that reflect the true beauty of your love story, show off your style, and highlight all the best parts of your wedding day.
Your photos will never be timeless if you’re chasing trendy.
Creating a shot list from the influencers you see on social media and handing it to your photographer won’t get you the results you think. Your wedding photos won’t feel like you—instead, they’ll reflect the personalities of the people you’re emulating. Forget the trends and focus on what makes you and your partner happy.
Most uncomfortable wedding tradition? Garter toss—hands down.
I didn’t think I’d still be saying this in 2024, BUT it’s time to cut ties with the garter toss. Your family and friends don’t want to watch it, but once it’s happening, it’s impossible to look away. Save everyone the awkward moment and skip it.
Your wedding isn’t content.
Back away from the cell phone and focus on living your experience in real time. Because at the end of the day, your memories are more important than your follower count or how many likes you get on your post.
“Michael was an absolute rockstar to work with.!”
Not only is Michael incredibly talented, but he’s just an amazing person. He does pretty much anything to get that perfect shot and is a magician with lighting. He is the best of the best! He’s super flexible, but also sure to do what he knows is best to get the most beautiful photo.”

Not only am I dedicated to my couples, but I’m dedicated to my craft—I’ll always go above and beyond to get you the wedding photos of your dreams.
I’m a straightforward guy, so you can trust that I’ll always be upfront and direct. I believe that’s the only way to be a worthwhile service provider.
I wear my heart on my sleeve and care deeply about my couples. I’m here to listen, provide support, and give my best advice so you have the day you’ve always imagined.
My work is rooted in connection, and so is my process. I bring calm energy when things get wild, direction when you need it, and space when you don’t. It’s not just about taking pictures — it’s about helping you feel present, supported, and free to live your day fully.
If you want someone to capture what’s happening instead of forcing things to happen then Michael is your guy!”
“I didn’t want to spend more than an hour away from the celebration for photos, and even with our family drama Michael made it happen. All of my guests talked to him and RAVED about him. They loved that he ADDED energy to the vibe instead of being in the way or taking from it.”

I’m based in Asheville, North Carolina — surrounded by epic mountain views, killer sunsets, and couples who aren’t afraid to do things differently. Whether your wedding is local or halfway across the country, I bring that same energy, documentary approach, and full-on support. Here’s what it’s like getting married in Asheville.
10% of all profits will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
This cause is near and dear to my heart, so this year, I’m choosing to give back by donating a percentage of all proceeds to find a cure for women everywhere in memory of my mother, Barbara.
