Thank you so much for spending some time with me sharing the hopes, dreams, and priorities of your wedding on the phone. I had a wonderful time speaking with you! I felt like we are really on the same page regarding so many things including photography style, which is always a win! Here are some custom package options I came up with, just for you and your parents to review!
“Not only is his work incredible, he is a funny guy, and a lot of fun to work with. He is so patient and calm, and knows how to give great directions so the shot looks natural and perfect. He clearly works hard on his craft, and it shows.”
-Nicole + Ryan, November 2019
Forever Cherished Memories
Based on our phone conversation it became very apparent that the aspect of “remembering” is super important to you. While there will be a lot going on, there are plenty of small moments that will become big memories for both of you. This is also why it is so important to have two photographers (one with each of you) to document the getting ready process. Just like the rest of the day, some of these moments will be more directed, and others will be entirely candid and focus on things you probably won’t see yourself.
A Mix of Formals + Candids
Although we won’t be up in people’s faces during the reception or times when we should be a fly on the wall, we will know the right time to take control of the crowds during the family and bridal party formals. We will be sure to get these formal photos done QUICKLY so you can enjoy your wedding, and have ample time to capture all of the candid moments as well.
Timeless Photos – Instant Heirlooms
You want to be able to look back on your wedding photos years from now, and feel good about how they look. While some photographers always edit in a trendy/popular style (overly bright), use cheesy prom poses, and/or use Instagram-like filters for their photography, I go over each image one at a time and make sure they look bold, timeless, and true to your wedding day. Never overly bright or airy either. You will never be looking back on your photos and be saying “What were we thinking!!??”, as we do now with some of our parents photos from the 80’s. You should be able to remember your day as accurately as possible through photography.
Family Matters
I know how family you are from the way you spoke about looking through albums , so we will come up with a comprehensive list of family photographs, and make sure we get all of your special guests traveling far from overseas as well – This will also help us get things done in a timely and orderly fashion.

“He literally broke a sweat at our wedding and trooped through despite how hot it was. He was always in immediate communication, replies within the hour (faster), and is quick to deliver photos. You know you’ll always get quality work from mike and his team. I received quite a few wedding photographs back immediately after my wedding so I had something special to share with my family. “

He was so professional (we barely noticed him in action, which was important to us because we didn’t want any distractions from our event) and he captured it PERFECTLY! His photos will be cherished for a lifetime and I am so beyond glad we hired him to shoot our very special day.

“Mike and his team have literally turned our special night into the most incredible memories we could have ever imagined. Let me say, our family is HUGE and our wedding party even bigger. Even with the last minute changes stress of having to fit so many photos into a small time frame, Mike and his crew, were able to get every single picture taken, down to very last moments of our night. We are so truly incredibly grateful to have found Mike.”
Galina + Andrew, May 2019
“…he’s a great guy, incredibly personable, and always there for you.”
Our photos are breathtaking! Mike is also someone who makes you feel at ease, which was essential for the first time we’ve ever been had professional photos taken. The pictures are the memories and it was extremely important to us that we found someone we could trust with this truly monumental day, to capture each precious moment. Mike exceeded our expectations. In addition to all this, he’s a great guy, incredibly personable, and always there for you. My emails, texts and calls were returned so quickly, most often with an immediate response. Mike could also add therapist to this list of achievements, as he helped coach us through some difficulties with our venue, while never wavering on his commitment to making our day epic. This guy makes a parking lot look like a dream. We are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with him!

Here’s a an example of how we can still make magic happen even when everything doesn’t go according to plan and there is a rainy cold day for the entire day. Even with a sunset we created using lights. This is possible in any season, so we are always prepared.

Nicole and Ryan got married this past Winter at the Stroudsmoor Country Inn. They enjoyed a sunny winter day, and while the ceremony was cold outdoors, everyone held it together, and the night ended with lots of fun reception photos and some classy dramatic night shots as well. Click here to view
