Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: WEDDING PHOTOS ARE SNAPSHOTS IN TIME THAT TELL A LOVE STORY. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WEDDING PHOTOS capture those intimate moments that are a perfect balance of unrehearsed emotion and artistic honesty. From pictures of the bride and groom getting ready on their wedding day, to sneaking candid glances and smiles of your guests, I am always prepared to tell your story as it unfolds. My approachable and unobtrusive style allows me to produce a genuinely diverse set of photographs that allows my clients to re-live their wedding day, whether upon first glance or as they celebrate 50 years of wedded bliss. I am always humbled when couples trust me to capture such a monumental lifetime event, knowing that these images will live on forever and be passed down as heirlooms for future generations. I work with a limited number of amazing couples each year. While many photographers book every weekend over the wedding season, I am selective in my scheduling, leaving myself time to do all of the post processing work after each event and giving my clients their finished products 4-6 weeks following their big day. My services are not cheap, but neither is the quality of the entire experience my partner and I provide. The personal attention you’ll receive is worth every penny and I deliver what I say I will (and more) to every couple, every time. How do you want your LOVE STORY to be told on your wedding day?

Micheal was wonderful working with my daughter for her senior session. He shared his ideas, but was very open to allowing her to express herself in her own way during the photo shoot! My daughter had so much fun! The final pictures included a nice variety of locations and styles with good quality editing (and we got them well within the promised time frame). We loved that we could let family on to the password protected gallery to order the pictures they wanted. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and many senior year memories were made! Thank you Michael for your professionalism and creativity!

Your daughter was wonderfully natural in front of the camera and made my job easy! The variety of shots we got and her willingness to try different settings yielded some terrific shots. Best wishes to her in her senior year!

Our family had a phenomenal experience with Michael. We just completed our second family shoot with him because our pics were so fun last year. He was very professional, easy to work with and great with our kids. I would highly recommend him for any special occasion you have,

Nikkole - I appreciate your kind words! The boys and college aged daughter were hilarious and I can't wait until we schedule your 3rd family session in 2015!

Extremely professional and has a great eye for detail. Is more than willing to accommodate and take suggestions during the shoot. Compared to others in the Twin Cities, the price is right and the pictures are even better! Highly recommend!!

Thanks for the comments Jeffrey. I've enjoyed the two fun fall sessions we've done so far and always think your two boys are great in front of the camera! Let's do it again next fall!

Michael was very helpful from the moment we first spoke. He catered to our specific needs for what we were looking for for our wedding and we were beyond pleased with the end result. We also did a family session with him before our wedding, and the entire experience and photos were amazing! We would highly recommend Michael to anyone!

Your Lake Minnetonka boat wedding was such great "venue" and you were a beautiful bride that hot June day. I loved working with you guys and the girls! Would work with you again in a heartbeat!

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Each year, I partake in 2-3 professional development opportunities to learn about the newest trends in professional photography, refine my style and craft, and look for new ways to capture images that other photographers simply aren't doing. As a photographer, our artistry is always evolving and there is always room for learning new things!

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Meet with your prospective wedding photographer. Enjoy a casual, no pressure visit over coffee and share your vision for you wedding day with them. On your wedding day, you will spend more time with your photographer than any other person, so you want to be sure there's a connection and a comfort level there that will translate into capture your story.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    The time spent behind the camera (wedding, family session, senior picture session) represents about 20% of the total time required to deliver my clients their fully processed set of images. A lot of detail and post production work (aka - edits) goes into making sure each and every image is the best it can be!
