We were so happy to have Michael photograph our wedding!!

From our initial meeting to the planning meeting, we felt confident in his professional, creative and laid back style. Michael far exceeded our expectations! Whenever we look at our pictures, it brings out those exact feelings we had in that moment of time. We got more than just beautiful pictures, the emotions captured are priceless. What a true testament to his artistic talent and experience!

Lisa did an amazing job keeping us on schedule, making sure we got all the shots we wanted and wrangling family members together... it made our day very stress free! Michael and Lisa work as a team and they do it so well! Our wedding party felt comfortable, relaxed and was able to enjoy the day while all these moments around us were happening, Michael was able to capture them all. Planning our wedding from out of state, Michael was flexible and willing to work within our schedules to make things happen. We would highly recommend Michael to our family and friends!

Michael was truly outstanding in every possible way--from our first meeting with him, we appreciated his professionalism, talent, customer-oriented attitude, and excellent reputation. Our wedding planner recommended him highly, and we couldn't have been happier that she did. Also, we noticed that Michael offers a great value for his top-notch service--his pricing was significantly more affordable than the other best-rated Twin Cities photographers, at no sacrifice of quality.

On our wedding day, Michael and his assistant excelled at relaxing the wedding party, honoring our request for more candid than posed shots, and making himself invisible at the wedding and reception. We felt like he was just a member of the party.

And the pictures! The pictures turned out so beautifully my dad burst into tears as soon as he saw them. Michael captured so many moments we didn't even know were happening, so many unexpected patches of light, so many wonderful expressions and interactions. The photos came out classy, glamorous, relaxed, and the opposite of cheesy--everything we wanted.

I offer Michael my very highest recommendation, as well as a huge debt of gratitude. No one's ever made my husband and me look so good!

Michael was recommended to us thru a friend who had recently worked with him and could not say enough positive things about him, and now, in return my husband and I cannot as well! We had to plan our wedding from states away and Michael made it easy for us to get our photo needs met and addressed over email and phone conversations. When our big day arrived any type of pre- wedding jitters melted away for he and his team arrived on time, followed the time line and made sure to get all the shots we had requested! Our results are everything we wanted and we enjoy reliving the moments of the day thru our photos! Michael and his team were a pleasure to work with!
