Introduction
Did you know that Thumbtack charges Professionals like myself a fee each time you contact us on this platform? This can range from $15 to over $200 each time someone chooses a Photographer and asks for more information. Please try to consider this before you choose me or only contact if you are sure about hiring me. Other details or info can also be found on my website. Also please be aware of dates as if you choose a specific day but check the option for "open to other dates" then we can still get charged for a lead on a day we have already blocked-out on the calendar. So if you only need me for a specific date and it shows I am unavailable it means the day is fully-booked. Thank you for your time I look forward to working with you.

Our wedding was a very intimate event, just my husband, myself, our children and my grandchildren. Michael was wonderful to work with — very unobtrusive and professional while also being friendly and personable. His photos were terrific - family members got some great shots on their phones, too, but it was nice knowing that Michael was capturing our beautiful day in the redwood trees.

Michael was AMAZING to work with!! He went well above and beyond our initial requests. He was extremely professional and easy to work with. We booked him for a 1 hour engagement/elopement shoot, but he was willing to stay through our entire dinner celebration and take photos with our family! He worked well with the other professionals involved in our celebration. Within a week, we received the digital copies and they are gorgeous. The overall value and work quality were phenomenal. I'm so glad he was able to help us capture such a special evening!!

Working with Michael was simply awesome! I had contacted him on short notice to photograph a surprise proposal to my now fiancee :) while visiting San Francisco. Michael was super responsive and insightful right from the start which helped to put me very much at ease. I had a couple of locations in mind for the proposal and Michael weighed in on the pros and cons of both locations. Ultimately I decided on Pier 7 because I had also hired a guitarist / singer to perform a particular song at the proposal that has become “our song” over the years, and it seemed the better option for that aspect. Because we didn’t arrive in SF until early Wednesday morning and I had planed the proposal for early Saturday evening, it was a tight window. Michael suggested that we meet on Thursday to perform a walk through of the actual location and also get some suggestions from him on the best location and position to take when time to propose. Michael met me at my hotel Thursday morning and together we took a leisurely walk down to Peir 7 where he provided really great thoughts and options for the actual proposal. Afterwards he had some time so we grabbed a quick bite together and continued with some planning and great conversation. During our meeting I advised Michael about the singer/ guitarist that I had booked as well and he graciously contacted and coordinated the setup with him taking some added stress off of me. In addition to that I had purchased a bouquet of flowers for the proposal and wasn’t sure how to get them there without giving my fiancee clues that it was happening. Michael very kindly offered to pick them up from our hotel and bring them to the site, which he did. We stayed in contact over the next few days and when Saturday evening came around Michael did not disappoint, in fact he exceeded all of my expectations. He is extremely skilled and very professional, he quarterbacked the proposal expertly and with great care. After the actual proposal aspect was finished, he walked us to our dinner reservation continuing to document the night with many more photos along the way. I honestly cannot thank him enough for the instrumental role he played in the most important night of my life. Brilliant and very professional photographer, awesome human being and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Thanks so much, Michael!!

I can't recommend Michael (ES studio) enough! From the very beginning, communication was a breeze. They were prompt, arriving early for our shoot, and fantastic with the kids, putting everyone at ease. The lighting, even in the harsh midday sun, was incredible. And the photos themselves? Absolutely stunning! We received them exactly on time, and we're so thrilled with how they captured our family.

Michael is a true pro. He was extremely responsive. When I started planning my surprise proposal, I reached out to a bunch of photographers and before the others had even responded I felt like I had the entire day planned with him. For someone never having done something like this it was a bit of a scary and daunting prospect, but Michael made me feel completely calm and confident. Not only was he always prompt and thorough in answering my stupid questions, but he even took time to visit the site with me because he hadn’t ever been to this particular site and wanted to find the best angles and get our plan perfected to a T. And let’s not forget about the photos- They were, like everything else with my experience with Michael, professional- he gave great direction, tips, etc and made us look natural. A surprise proposal can be stressful, and with Michael I just felt like there was one less thing to worry about. Thanks so much!!!
