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.

I cannot say enough great things about Mike's work. I'm picky... I'm a published nature photographer and my standards are awful darn high. I've also had the "opportunity" to do a couple of weddings and I understand the effort that goes into doing this right (and I'm not willing to wade into that water myself... I prefer birds to brides).
The process for hiring him to do the job couldn't have been simpler. Very organized. Very on point. He listened to our wants and had a plan to make it happen. Definitely a professional at this. Left us with full confidence that everything would be perfect.
On site he was outstanding. Punctual. Ready to go upon arrival. Had a plan for the shots he and we wanted. Moved through the phases of pre-wedding, wedding, and post-wedding confidently and smoothly.
When the images came back it was obvious he executed the wedding to perfection. The images were perfectly exposed, perfectly composed, and perfectly imagined.
My bride and I are beyond thrilled with the final product. I would recommend him without hesitation.
