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.”

“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!”

I understand that being followed around all day with a camera sounds intimidating, but with true documentary-style photos, you won’t even know I’m there.
I’ll explore your celebration, snap photos as moments naturally unfold, and only provide guidance and direction as needed. The result? You’ll be able to fully enjoy your day and have fun, without the added stress or worry of saying cheese.
“While we could have gone with a cheaper photographer, Michael was 100% worth every penny. He’s dedicated and passionate about what he does, which is clearly reflected in the photos.”
“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.”
—Daniel L.
I won’t lie and tell you that wedding photos aren’t pricey. But you know what else they are? A permanent tie to the beginning of your story, the undeniable excitement you feel knowing it’s official, and your own personal time machine. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
