Introduction

Its hard to explain how my work stands out. it just does lol. I feel like if my images where to be shown amongst others, you would be able to tell "oliver photographs" images to the rest. I love create special moments. Moments to make people stop and think about the image wether there is something going to happen, or something has already happened.

It will be difficult to adequately describe the level of excellence Michael Oliver brought to my event. There was strong communication and collaboration leading up and he was able to ask questions that helped me solidify the look and feel I wanted for the pictures. He went above and beyond expectations by bringing lighting equipment to create the look we were trying to achieve. As a photographer, his easy going, down to earth personality put everyone at ease. He quickly felt like one of the crew. And the pictures are absolute FIRE. He is an extraordinary artist and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him here on Thumbtack. He will be THE go to photographer for my friends and family moving forward.

My entire experience with Michael was beyond exceptional. Let me explain… So I was looking for someone to secretly capture my marriage proposal in Central Park. It’s a special moment so I put a lot of effort into researching and finding a great photographer. Being this moment only happens once, trust and quality were really important. While researching the social media and portfolios of dozens of photographers and getting estimates, there was a clear distinction between the top-notch photographers who had the highest estimates and the mediocre photographers at the low end. Then there was Michael. He was amongst the best photographers I found but his estimate was on the lower end (MUCH lower than comparable photographers)…so I was initially skeptical. But I took a chance and was beyond happy with the choice. His communication was great through the entire process. We had a quick phone call to go over details, we determined the marriage proposal plan (and came up with a contingency plan), and he reached out to confirm the details the day before. He thought of things I hadn’t, so clearly he had done this before. The day of the proposal Michael arrived early at our planned discreet meeting location. The location I planned on proposing at was occupied but Michael continued to follow us discreetly to where the proposal eventually took place. So he had no idea what the location would look like and no way to prepare the shot. But somehow the shots turned out absolutely stunning! We did a quick shoot after the actual proposal and then we went our separate ways. The next day, Michael sent over the photos and they were absolutely stunning. Great depth of field, color, exposure, everything was dialed in. He sent MORE photos than promised and everything worked out perfect. Overall, he’s a really nice guy, reliable, professional, talented, and very, very fair. My fiancé is still crazy about the photos which will memorialize this special moment forever. If you're searching for a great photographer to capture moments you want to remember forever, definitely speak with Michael. If you're experience with him is anywhere near mine, you'll be very happy! Thank you so much Michael!!

If I could give Micheal 10 stars I would. Words cannot express how pleased we were with his professionalism and eye for detail. We will, definitely, keep him in mind for any future events. The photographs he captured of my quiet little shower have been the talk of my friends for the past week. During his time with us it was almost as if he wasn't there. His super stealth mode allowed us to comfortably and candidly be ourselves allowing him to capture our genuine and posed moments with grace. The pictures were processed quickly and easily downloaded from the links provided with many options to choose from. I was also happy to see he isn't one of those photographers that ruins every photo with a tacky company watermark logo. Courtesy, professionalism, and kindness from start to finish. We're lucky to have found him.
