Relaxed, fun, & detail-oriented photography experience

We're so glad we chose Michael for our romantic couple's photo shoot out at UBC. He is so passionate about photography, and he had great location ideas so that we could get different scenery within a short period of time. We felt so at ease with Michael, and he encouraged us to be ourselves and to show our expression however we wished, but he also knew when to help us out with prompts and suggestions. I appreciated his attention to detail, as I would hate it if I got our photos back and no one told me I was stepping on my skirt. With Michael, he's got your back! While a romantic photo shoot in public may seem daunting to a shy couple, we were having so much fun thanks to Michael's guidance that we didn't feel awkward at all. In addition to the great experience, the photos we got back took our breath away!! The gallery looked like snapshots from a movie -- A movie featuring me and my fiancé! The photos were so unique and felt sooo good to look back on. We got so many compliments from friends and family. 10/10 we would recommend booking with Michael!

Energy pure!

Michael has a lot of energy! I don't know how someone remains a dialed in photographer for 12 plus hours, but Michael has no quit. I mean really. The photos had tons of things about them that an no one else ever thinks about, really surprising and fun and that can't happen without some staying ‘focused’. You really feel taken care of with Michael. Somehow he seemed to get photos of everyone and I don't know how you do that, keep track of all that stuff, but what a photographer! Someone said to us he had a 15 minute dinner then he was up again making people laugh who never would and getting some wicked shots. OMG! He is worth every penny plus more.

Michael was the ease with which we got to know him before

One of the coolest things about Michael was the ease with which we got to know him before we even hired him for our wedding. He was very patient and understanding through our interview period which probably must drive a photographer nuts, not to mention how much time it took! We asked a ton of business and photographic questions we even wanted to see his cameras, lol because my husband knows a lot about photography as well. If we didn't exhaust him we certainly exhausted ourselves. :) Michael answered every question with the certainty of someone who knows his job backwards and forwards (and his camera technique as well). We were not surprised to love his photography work when he got the photos to us on time and exactly as expected. Certainly this is a job you must love, but more than that you kind of really have to like the people you are with no matter how demanding! Michael is really a people person and it shows. Damn good photographer as well!

We would highly recommend Michael as Wedding Photographer

Having Michael as our Wedding Photographer was everything we could have asked for.
Not only is he a total professional photographer but also clearly a gentleman who feels like he belongs from another era; graceful, kind and always attentive. Our wedding was a big event but Michael never felt out of place, he was comfortable with all our guests, young and old, and moved easily around, when we saw him at all. Our photos were real, personal and pulsating with life and color, and full of surprise moments that could only come alive from the photographer behind the camera who saw things we never would have. Michael is someone who takes real care with his photography. We are grateful to Michael and the memories he made for us. We would highly recommend him to anyone, everyone.

Can Work With ANYTHING - Even A Downpour

It poured rain on our wedding day and instead of getting married outside in a beautiful rose garden, we got married in an ugly event tent in the parking lot. We didn't even decorate the tent, we were really counting on good weather! Somehow Michael made the photos look bright and warm, he did some kind of camera magic and you can't even tell we are in a tent. People constantly ask me, where is this? Because it looks ethereal and amazing, not damp and cold. We got a ton of outdoor photos too, and he made the rain look so good. Michael saved my pictures from certain doom!

The perfect moments captured

My husband and I had a big beautiful Indian wedding. We were looking for a photographer who knew us, and would not only document the wedding but capture the special intimate moments between us and our families. Micheal was super enthusiastic, inspiring and very respectful to the Sikh temple, while were there. I didn't have to worry about anything. He was a fly on the wall on second, and in another he was taking charge and organizing the wedding party. I love his energy and who he is as a human. A few years later we asked him to capture our babymoon photos! I was pregnant with twins, and could barely walk! Michael took us into a beautiful forest and we played and I have some of the most beautiful and playful images of our new family. : )

magical, spontaneous and creative

Personable, thoughtful and highly artistic – all of these traits are reflected both in Michael, himself and his wedding photography. His photos captured the intimacy of our elopement because they were natural, spontaneous and creative, not simply staged portraits. For many of our family and friends, the pictures were the only way that they could participate in the day. Michael met with us before the elopement first, to get know us, and to learn of our vision for the day.

Michael was patient, helpful and extremely enthusiastic about taking our photographs. During the ceremony, Michael was invisible. This allowed him to capture some very moving moments. Afterwards he took us down to the beach and we walked along the water in our bare feet. The sense of fun, spontaneity, and play was elegantly reflected in the composition of the final photographs. Michael was prompt in his preparation and presentation of the final album and weblink. Everyone who sees our wedding photos uses words like magical, striking, beautiful, and perfect. We couldn’t agree more.

Book him, you won't regret it!

Michael is a true artist. He is warm, personable and passionate about his craft. From the very beginning of our conversations, I felt a sense of ease communicating with him. He had location suggestions and also gave awesome guidance and prompts for posing whilst we also encouraging us to be ourselves. Our wedding photos were so amazing and friends and family have given us many compliments. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a skilled photographer. (10/10!) We are beyond thrilled with how our photos came out.

Caring, respectful, attentive

When we began discussing our wedding photos with Michael, what was clear from the beginning was it was going to be a collaborative process. Michael communicated thoughtfully and thoroughly about his approach and his belief that the key to great photos was for him to invest time in getting to understand what the wedding couple needed, wanted and hoped for from the images that would represent their union. The attentiveness that followed was considerate, respectful, and spoke to the professional and personal care that he puts into his work.

Michael was wonderfully creative in the way he captured our special event. We had a very elaborate 3 day wedding that covered multiple locations and Michael managed to capture the essence and flavour of the weekend skillfully. The result was a wonderful range of high quality photos that were dynamic and simply beautiful.

Add to that the fact that during the entire event, Michael managed to get his camera up close and personal with us and our guests without ever feeling intrusive - it was like he was a fly on the wall the whole time catching multiple details and scenes that we never noticed. Looking at our photos later we found ourselves remarking on moments that we did not know had been caught on camera that were lovely and important moments in time. I think that is what stood out to us the most - we didn't have just a series of posed portraits but rather the essence and spirit of our wedding captured in its real moments.

Thanks Michael!

Amazing experience, very happy!

From the very first meeting, we both knew we were going to love the end wedding photos Michael would be creating for us. We could tell Michael is very passionate about photography and he truly loves what he does. We found Michael's homepage searching through the internet, his work on the homepage itself was very impressive and eye catching. To us, Michael was very unique in that his work also involves film directing. Because his creativeness is not bound just in the world of still frame photography, he is able to capture those special moments like no other photographer. Our relatives from overseas were especially impressed at the amount of detail Michael pays attention to, to get the “perfect shot”. His black & white photo’s were beautiful and chique, color photo’s vivid & full of life. We could not have asked for more from our wedding photographer/artist! Thank you again for your beautiful photography work.

About my personality

As a young man I travelled by bicycle and train, foot and sailboat through far away lands. Exploring ancient aqueducts, crusader castles, temples, galleries and museums, a keen interest developed for the wonder and visual splendour of the world and the humans that were part of it. All my available resources were devoted to buying film and photographing the people and places I visited. Although I didn't know it at the time, it turned out that these early years would be the beginning of my love of reportage photography.
