Michael arrived at our wedding early and prepared. He took really good quality photos. His choice of timing and setting for our pictures was excellent.

I would highly recommend Michael for all your photography needs! We hired him to photograph our coastal elopement and we are so happy with the results! Michael was able to bring his wife with him so we had the two required witnesses - a life saver! Michael and his wife were very kind, caring, and punctual. My husband and I are a little awkward when it comes to posing but Michael directed us and was able to get those stunning dramatic wedding pictures we were wanting. 10/10, hire Michael!!

Excellent experience from start to finish! He arrived right on time, was professional, and did a wonderful job capturing the photos we needed. We were on a bit of a time crunch, and he was incredibly accommodating and even provided the finished photos much sooner than expected. The photos turned out great, and the entire process was smooth and easy. We truly appreciated his flexibility, quick turnaround, and great work. Highly recommend!

Michael is exactly what I wanted in a surprise proposal photographer! He had knowledge of the area, got to the location well ahead of time, remained inconspicuous, and directed us for the post-proposal shoot. I highly recommend!
