Michelle B. Sent on 28/10/2024Amazing 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 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! -

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 he then shared that slide show and a sneak preview the morning after the wedding, truly unbelievable. 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!! -

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! -

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! -

Michael has an incredible eye for detail and an innate ability to capture the perfect moment. Every photo tells a story, capturing the joy, love, and excitement of our special day in a way that is both artistic and genuine. He somehow managed to be everyone, capturing candid moments that we'll cherish forever.
Beyond his technical skills, Michael brought a warm, calming presence to our wedding. He was organized, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. His communication was prompt and clear, and he made sure that all our preferences and requests were thoughtfully addressed.
The final photos were nothing short of spectacular. Each image was beautifully edited, with a keen attention to lighting, composition, and emotion. We have received countless compliments from family and friends on how stunning the photos were, and we couldn't agree more. Michael truly has a gift for capturing the essence of a moment, and we feel so fortunate to have had him as our wedding photographer. -

Michael is an amazing photographer and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. Michael was our engagement and wedding photographer and we couldn't be happier with our photos. Michael is personable, funny, and did a great job making me and my husband feel comfortable during our photoshoots. His photography skills are remarkable, and he was always prompt and professional with his communication. If I had to recommend a photographer for a friend's engagement or wedding, I would recommend Michael in a heartbeat. -

We could write for days on our amazing experience with Michael. My wife and I first booked our engagement photos with Michael to feel out the process, as neither of us are big "picture" people. The weather was cold, and wet, but it was the only time we were free and able to catch him in the middle of his busy schedule. Even through the bad weather, he was fantastic. We gave Michael free-reign to do whatever he thought would work and to try whatever his creativity could conjure and the results were amazing. Not only were the pictures exactly what we were looking for, he was incredibly personable, friendly and accommodating. Within minutes of taking the first few shots, we decided we needed to have him for our wedding.
Michael was everything we could have asked for and more. He made some of the more dull moments of taking photos enjoyable for everyone from my wife and I to our wedding parties and families. There was an endless cycle of guests and friends telling us how amazing he was from the start of the day to the end. He drove around St. Mary's with us for off-site photos, he took pictures of our venue and all the details put into decor, he captured every moment of our ceremony, and he put together a slideshow in real-time for our guests to see our wedding photos. Just to emphasize: photos taken that day, some taken only minutes prior to sharing, were then presented later in our reception. Everyone was in awe and several people asked for his contact information throughout the evening.
Michael is a true professional; you can feel the passion he has for his craft through his creativity and enthusiasm. The best part is that we get to keep all the wonderful memories he captured in ways we never could have imagined.
Thank you, Michael.
