HERE FOR YOU.
Hey, I’m Michael.
You’re mostly likely here because you’ve been scouring the internet for someone who photographs wedding days and not just recreating Pinterest inspo mood boards.
You’ve heard other people say that they regret spending so much time posing for photos that they missed out on enjoying their actual wedding day.
It makes no sense to you to leave your wedding for an hour to take pictures…. for what?
Your main priority is to enjoy your wedding day and to have photos that show that.
Well… I’m glad you’re here.

Testimonial pulled from Google Business review
“Michael was phenomenal. From the first message, he was personable, kind, and comfortable. Our first phone call was about an hour just talking and getting to know each other! He really takes the time to understand what you are looking for and getting to know you to help make your day as special and perfect as it can be. When we met him in person, it was like I had known him for years! His photos were amazing. I have no idea how he was able to get so many different photos with different perspectives. I dont think we had one repeat of a photo. He caught all of the details and more. Michael truly captured what our special day felt like and, on top of all of that, he took digital AND film photos all himself!! That is talent!! I would highly, highly recommend Michael!! He is absolutely wonderful and we couldnt have worked with anyone better. p.s. we ordered a print of almost every single photo because we couldnt choose between them!”

Let’s connect and talk about your wedding day
Because of the nature and approach of my photography, I take on a limited amount of weddings to ensure you have all my attention
The couples I get to work with prioritize human connection and being present on their wedding day and how photography compliments that
I’m so excited to hear from you…
