I CANNOT overstate how grateful I am for Legacy Photos LLC. Our scheduled photographer cancelled just before our event and Michael saved the day!!! He rushed over to our event (gear in hand), started shooting immediately and delivered stunning photos--with zero prep! We had our work cut out for us-- inside/outside pics, red carpet, guest interactions, sponsor shots, and merch-- all expertly handled with precision which put me at ease. Michael has a fantastic ‘eye’ and it’s laser-focused on you and your needs. His versatility is unmatched. He will nail every ‘shot’ you request, bring your vision to life, or handle all of the direction and do the ‘thinking’ for you. Michael is a master at his craft, working with him is effortless and an absolute joy. Book him while you can!!

Michael arrived on time for my son’s girlfriend’s birthday and surprise proposal. We were running very late and I started to worry about running out of time before he even started filming but he comforted the entire family and patiently waited to have the shots he was hired for at no extra cost for the extra time. It was already dark at the beach and we had poor lighting but he promised to do his best to have the pictures clear and they came out amazingly beautiful.
I hope everyone in Los Angeles can experience Michael’s best quality of services. Thank you so much Michael! My entire family and myself honored your work. You make the magic happened and we are very thankful to you. Stay the way you are. Blessings!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

...and Value and Punctuality. Michael was pleasant, competent, and thorough, but never intrusive. He captured all of the significant moments of our renewal of vows ceremony and reception. We would not hesitate to hire Legacy Photos again.
