We had Mike photograph our backyard wedding and separate bar location for our reception as of 9/26/26. We were very happy with how well he was able to direct everybody since we had 85 guests, so he got the perfect photos for us. Mike was very friendly and very responsive with all of our questions. We are so excited to get our pictures back and we definitely recommend Mike to anybody looking for a wedding photographer!

Mike is the man. He is very coordinated and takes fantastic photos. I could not recommend him enough. During our wedding, he was able to get all of the shots we wanted and more. If we ever have another need for a photographer in the Colorado area, he will be our go to guy.

Dropping by with RAVE reviews for Pixels by Mike! My daughter and her military fiance planned a mini elopement in Colorado but it was very important to capture the memories of the special day. After speaking to a number of photographers we connected with Mike. He quickly understood their vision and spent time walking us through things. On the wedding day he did not disappoint. Our venue was “out of season” and a thunderstorm was eminent. Mike somehow captured every moment, making the background compliment the beautiful couple. He was great with directions for the nervous couple and had a keen eye for all elements in the photo. The pictures are stunning and truly captured their personalities. I can’t thank him enough for bringing artistic perfection to photos that will reflect the beauty of this special day! Highly recommend Pixels by Mike for capturing your special memories!

Mike was excellent, worked with us on short notice and made every minute count. He even unpacked and got a few shots of a special moment after his time expired, highly recommend.
