About

Hey! My name is Michael, and I am your friendly neighborhood photographer. Well… I might not be from your neck of the woods, but I’d certainly love to help you with your pictures anyway! Let me tell you more about myself, so you know why I am so passionate about capturing your memories. My amazing wife has made me quite the softy when it comes to love and supporting other’s that are in love. Believe me when I say, that my clients always tug on my heartstrings, because I know just how special and important your moments are (and my wife will hear all about it when I get home). When I am not taking, choosing, or editing pictures, I am on the couch watching a movie, ready to critic it to the best of my ability or I am at my computer playing the latest video game that I am obsessed with. If you share any ounce of those hobbies, we will get along swimmingly. So…why photography? This is the best job I have ever had the privilege of being a part of. I get to meet new people, capture the happiest moments in their lives, and have fun while I am doing it! Let me support you during your season of love!

Professional, kind, flexible, relatable. 10/10 experience for our engagement shoot. We were initially on the fence about how much to pay for photography, but after our shoot with Michael, it did not take a second thought to book him for the wedding as well.

He is the one to go with! He’s very professional and friendly; I hate pictures of myself and he put me at ease! The photos came out great (even better than I could have hoped for) and he worked with me through a couple last minute changes of venue. Seriously, if you’re browsing for the right photographer, this is your guy!

Due to a miscommunication on directions to our rental house, the first photo appointment was cancelled. Michael was professional in arranging a new date and arrived early. The photos were excellent and will provide a reminder of our time in the mountains of North Carolina.

Michael was absolutely amazing! He should up before the event and was well prepared. We hired him for 2 sessions, 1 for engagement evening proposal and 1 for engagement photo shoot. He was so easy and chill to work with! We loved his attitude and how easy he was to work with. He listened to us and gave us exactly what we wanted plus some!

Details: Bridal portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • My home, venue, etc.

My rate is $250 per hour, travel is included free of charge (Ex: 3 hours = $750). I also offer a free engagement session when you book a wedding of 8 hours or more. You will receive at least 30 pictures per hour but I usually give much more.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Talk first, pay later. Let’s get the details you need so I can give you the pictures you want.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors Degree in Film and Media Studies from The University of South Carolina with a minor in Media Arts. I have been a photographer for over 4 years.
