Epic and Out of this world wedding pictures
Michael was a blast to work with. Great direction, easy to get along with and lots of fun. Our wedding guests had tons of compliments for him. We have gotten our first look at the pictures and they far exceeded our expectations. We are so pleased with choosing Michael for our big day.Michael was a blast to work with.

Can't Recommend Michael Enough!
If you’re looking for a passionate, creative and fun-loving photographer, then Michael is your guy! The nerves we felt during the beginning stages of planning our wedding were put at ease after our first conversation with him, and the following conversations were no different. His knowledge of the business, tips and tricks for a smooth day, and excitement he brought helped to make our day magical! It was like having a best friend rooting you on all day!
He was what we wanted in a photographer and MORE! Not only did he capture memories we’ll keep forever, but he helped us create our wedding day timeline, answered all of our questions without judgement, and encouraged us to enjoy...If you’re looking for a passionate, creative and fun-loving photographer, then Michael is your guy!

He was what we wanted in a photographer and MORE! Not only did he capture memories we’ll keep forever, but he helped us create our wedding day timeline, answered all of our questions without judgement, and encouraged us to enjoy our day to the fullest. Although he was photographing us for the majority if the day, I never once felt overwhelmed by being in front of the camera. It was as though it was barely there and we were just hanging out with friends and family.
One of the most talked about parts of our wedding was the same-day slideshow that Michael had ready for our guests to view after dinner. How he was able to have so many beautifully edited photos ready in such short time is a testament to his talent. Our guests continue to tell us about how they enjoyed his presence and never felt like Michael and his second shooter were in the way.
Our personal highlights are the multiple wedding videos we received! We get to relive our ceremony, private vows, and first dance as a couple, as well as have a moving portrait to share with our friends and family!! This was something that was important for us to have, so for Michael to provide us with both photo and video was incredible! He brought our vision to life, better than we imagined.
Thank you again, Michael! It was an absolute privilege to have you be a part of our fall wedding. We can tell you’re in a career that makes your heart happy. We truly can not recommend you enough!!
Xoxo, Shelby and Sam Groot -

Every Shot, Simply Stunning
Where do we begin, Michael was recommended to us by a friend and we could not be more pleased with our experience. From start to finish, he was an absolute pleasure to work with, professional, personable and incredibly creative. As a couple who are not used to taking professional photos, he made the process for our wedding photos so smooth and made us and our family and friends feel at ease. Having previously photographed at our venue (Tom Patterson Theatre), he was already familiar with the space and how an event is held there, which was a huge plus. He took the time to double-check with us that he captured all the group photos that were important to us....Where do we begin, Michael was recommended to us by a friend and we could not be more pleased with our experience.

We can't wait to see the rest of the photos and share them with our family and friends. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and creative photographer. Thank you! -

Michael is an Amazing Photographer!
We could not give a more glowing review for Michael as a photographer! From the countless breathtaking photo ideas to the small details he accounted for during our special day, we could not have asked for a better photographer! Michael helped with everything from pocket squares to boutonniere to even getting the bride and groom drinks during cocktail hour to save us time from standing in line and allowing us to mingle with our guests. During our all day coverage, he even took advantage of down time to sneak in detail shots of things like our rings, invitations and decor shots around the venue! We can't wait to get the remainder of the photos back! As pictured, Michael does whatever it takes to get the shot! You will not be disappointed choosing Michael as your photographer!We could not give a more glowing review for Michael as a photographer!

Amazing Experience!
We’re so glad we picked Michael as the photographer for our wedding! He had so many creative, unique ideas throughout the night, and made perfect use of what was around him (ie. architecture, lighting, flowers, etc). Throughout intimate moments, like the ceremony and first dance, I kept forgetting he was there, but in the best way possible, as he’s able to blend in and capture raw candid moments. Even posed photos he’s able to have look natural. It’s clear he’s passionate about photography, and the times he showed us images he had just taken, our jaws dropped. Soon after the wedding we received a preview of images, and were amazed at his talent. We’re so thankful to have these photos to look back on our wedding day for the rest of our lives!We’re so glad we picked Michael as the photographer for our wedding!

Highly Recommended Wedding Photographer!
We got married on Friday, and Michael has already shared our previews with us. We couldn’t be more in love with our photos! His creativity and skill in working with light truly brought our vision to life, capturing both breathtaking portraits and beautiful candid moments. Michael’s ability to manage large groups and make everyone feel comfortable is impressive; he effortlessly coordinated our families and friends for stunning shots. Even when my dress broke and set us back, he adapted quickly and kept everything on track. His friendly demeanor and professionalism made our day unforgettable. We are immensely grateful and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who can create magic with light and make you feel at ease!We got married on Friday, and Michael has already shared our previews with us.

Blew our expectations out of the water
Michael’s photography and passion made our wedding day a dream! We had seen him work at our cousins wedding before so we knew he was good.. but didn’t realize just how good! He fit in seamlessly for candid getting ready photos and everyone could just exist and feel natural it was great. He got amazing shots and his excitement about them made us so excited while they were happening and the flow of his direction for photos was awesome. He was able to wrangle my extended family of 20+ people for a photo so well in a matter of minutes. The slide show he turned around with edited photos for the reception was a highlight of our night, and...Michael’s photography and passion made our wedding day a dream!

All of our family and friends were raving about him for days after the wedding. Could not recommend Michael as a photographer more, thank you!!-

Phenomenal Photography
Working with Michael was such a great experience. He was professional and kind, but more than that, he was so passionate about what he does, and you can see that in his photos. We saw his photos first at a wedding event in St. Marys, he was not there (his wife was having a baby!) but we fell in love with his photography and knew we wanted him to shoot our wedding. When we did speak with him, he did not disappoint! Every aspect of working with him was excellent and we cannot recommend him enough. We couldn't even decide which photos to include with this post because they were all so good!Working with Michael was such a great experience.

Dream Wedding in Niagara-on-the-Lake
This is the third time we have worked with Michael (two friend weddings and now our own), and each time his passion, talent and approachability were top tier. Michael made us feel comfortable the entire day and had a plethora of creative ideas. Based on the sneak peak we have received, we are in love with his work! His direction and vision were present for the entire day. In our opinion, Michael excelled in all settings, but our favourite was how he incorporated the landscape and went above and beyond (such as laying in the meadow or driving us to the vines) just to get the perfect shot. We can't wait to see the rest of the photos!This is the third time we have worked with Michael (two friend weddings and now our own), and each time his passion, talent and approachability were top tier.
