Michael Keel was very punctual to the venue and is a very friendly person. He had a lot of patience when he did our photoshoot. We hired him for two events and one outdoor photoshoot. He captured the colors very well. Especially his outdoor photoshoot was amazing. His special quality is his editing. He ensures when he edits there is no artificial colors. His photos look exactly like how one would see the surroundings with their own eyes. On top he responds to your messages immediately. We got our photos in about 40 days (we had 3 sessions).

I used Michael as our wedding photographer. He was absolutely wonderful and fun to work with! The pictures turned out fantastic. So pretty and exactly what I was looking for. We used Michael's services for a 4 hour tea ceremony day before the wedding, and for the entire wedding. He was very easy to work with. He used a good mixture between directing us and letting us be for photographs. The pictures came out very artistic, stylish, and classy. Absolutely love my pictures. Would highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again for other little events we might have down the road. :)

Michael photographed our January 2nd wedding at the Old Sugar Mill, he did an amazing job. My husband is in the Navy and I planned the whole wedding from Florida, from our first phone call, Michael totally calmed my nerves and helped plan out the timeline of the day. Michael was calm, cool and collected on the day of, he was great at calming my nerves as well. When we got the photos, they were breathtaking. He has captured every detail of the wedding perfectly. My sister had all 4 of her kids in our wedding and the photos of them brought us to tears. Michael did such a great job at capturing the moment, his candid shots are my absolute favorite. The wedding day went by so fast and I cannot believe its all over but with Michael's photos, we can relive it for years to come. I would recommend him to anyone for any event they have, you will not be disappointed!

I have to be honest, when I hired Michael through Thumbtack, I didn't read a single review of his. Not because he already had a 5 star rating, not because he has a gorgeous website with amazing and very artistic photography. From Michael's reply, combined with a honest profile face, and professional quotation email told me that here is a guy thats easy to work with, and probably a little fun as well. Well thats what we got during our event. Michael arrived slightly late, but he updated me via text message, came well dressed, and was a very approachable guy (important for big events). His shots - coming from a fellow photographer - he had good lighting considering the funky ambient lighting of Chinese restaurants, and this one with extremely high ceilings. Sharp with good color. Everything felt very prime lens, which I love. When he arrived, I verbally tagged the important people he should follow, which he did. So easy to work with. He was able to process our photos within the same weekend! We will definitely use him again.

We retained Michael Keel for a total of 6 hours, to photograph our San Francisco marriage in a documentary-style. We are completely satisfied and recommend him highly to anyone. We especially recommend him to creative persons, as you will meet a kindred spirit in Michael. We appreciated that Michael: • had thought about our shoot before the event • wanted to know our thinking, too • cabbed around with us no our marriage day and was okay with letting us ask him to photograph us in seemingly mundane times (waiting in line, eating lunch, being driven around, selecting pastries, etc). We prompted him several times in this way. We also love Michael’s photographic eye, which in our shoot captured, amongst other values, three dimensionalism, edginess (at times), pleasant angularity, and dynamism where and when possible. Michael delivered all images on time and without hassles or delay, and delivered images on disk. We had a stellar time meeting Michael, working creatively with him, and, frankly, cabbing around San Francisco with him in the mix! He made us feel comfortable and a little like celebrities! We would retain Michael Keel again, and we are thrilled in advance for anyone else who retains him. Ted and Tiffany
