My specialty is capturing real, unscripted moments that tell the authentic story of your wedding day.
I take time to build a genuine connection with each couple, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout the planning process and on your big day.
“Sure his photography is incredible (it really really is). But you know what? There are undoubtedly other talented photographers out there. What’s going to make your pictures wonderful is if you have a top-tier photographer who CARED ABOUT YOU on top of it all. That’s the key ingredient and what makes Michael different.”
— Ryan M.
I think outside the box to capture unique and meaningful photos, always willing to go the extra mile for that perfect shot.
With years of experience working alongside top wedding vendors, I offer valuable insights and help you assemble a high-quality team for your wedding.
I’m highly communicative and responsive, making sure you feel supported and informed every step of the way.
Weddings in the NC High Country area aren’t one-size-fits-all because every couple is different, but what I have found is that all require a starting foundation and full day coverage. This will give you everything you need to bring your vision to life—and nothing you don’t.

With me as your wedding photographer,
You Can Expect
“Michael is someone you want to hang out with all day. He just has this easy-going way about him that makes you relax, which was key for my husband who HATES pictures.”
“Once I saw his stunning images online, I knew I had to hire Michael for my wedding—we booked him before we even booked the venue! We wanted to be able to relax and have fun during the process, and the results definitely show that. We got so many amazing pictures that really captured the day. Don’t hesitate, just hire Michael if you truly care about having gorgeous pictures!”

“My wife and I definitely recommend hiring Michael as your wedding photographer! He’s down-to-earth and easygoing, and he did an amazing job at capturing all of our special moments. Michael is a great photographer who really wants to get to know you on a personal level so he understands the types of photos you want. He really went above and beyond.”
