Michael was absolutely wonderful in our wedding proposal. He helped plan the proposal, took photos as well as recorded video, and prepared a stunning video for us to cherish the moment for years to come.

The plan was a surprise proposal in a decorated backyard with limited camera angles. Before the proposal day, he hopped on calls to discuss how it would work, came by a week before to plan the camera angles, and gave valuable creative guidance on decorations. His enthusiasm was infectious and really helped make the decorations, planning, and execution turn out as great as they did.

On the day of the proposal, he arrived with a camera for photos, three cameras for videos, assorted camera stands, and a hidden mic for me. The video cameras were set up so that he could focus on capturing the best photos. It’s incredible to see one person handle both the photography and videography roles so well. He took perfect shots for the proposal, photos of the family and friends, as well as some engagement photos later in the evening.

The photos came out bright, colorful, and full of emotion. The video is touching and I’m still watching it every few days. I’d highly recommend Michael for anyone who wants their love captured.

Michael did an amazing job. We had to significantly change our wedding plans due to COVID and having a beautiful video that we were able to share with our family and friends was really important. I was especially impressed by how cool the drone footage is. Michael has a lot of tools to be able to produce a wide range of footage, and the expertise to use them well. He paid really fine attention to detail when it came to putting the video together. The cuts and multiple angles were seamlessly stitched together. Would highly recommend!

Michael was a fantastic photographer for our wedding day! Our wedding was a bicultural Indian-American event with 130 guests, held outdoors. From the start, Michael was incredibly on it and professional. He asked all the right questions and made sure we had all of our photo combinations scheduled out, and photo locations scouted out (with contingency planning for different weather situations). Michael went the extra mile and came on a couple of venue visits with us, making sure he understood how the lighting hit different spots and where and how to set up his cameras.

Ultimately the photos came out vibrant, colorful, and natural! Vivid colors were core to my wedding so I was glad Michael was able to render our photos in a way that really captured the color and life of the wedding. We love how the photos really put the people front and center, and that, in addition to great posed shots of us and our family, Michael captured many of the lovely action shots of our friends and family dancing and hanging out. We had also asked for straightforward footage of our first dance, ceremony, toasts, and Baraat and Michael delivered all of those to our specifications!

On the day of, we had a hiccup with our hair and makeup artist arriving an hour later than expected. This meant pushing back our photo timeline unexpectedly, and less downtime than we had hoped for before the ceremony. Michael calmly and positively accepted the change of plans and kept us on (even ahead of!) our timeline. He made sure we efficiently got the shots we wanted, in the right lighting conditions. If something goes awry with your timeline or if you or your partner get nervous, Michael is the type of photographer whose calm temperament and clear direction will help keep the trains on track. And finally, he’s just a lovely person who truly delights in this work — I highly recommend him!
