About

Candid and timeless wedding photography with a modern touch. I capture not only the big moments of your day, but also the small ones; the moments in-between the moments. I blend in and quietly anticipate a smile, laugh, or tear of joy about to shine through. Looking back, these are the photographs that warm your heart and bring you right back to that special day.

As a wedding photographer, nothing makes me happier than capturing these authentic moments and preserving them as timeless memories for my couples.

When you choose Michael Orzell Photography, you will have peace of mind knowing you have hired an easy-going professional who will make you feel comfortable, natural, and in your element- resulting in photographs that truly represent who you are

The Best!!!

Michael Orzell Photography is the BEST. Our pictures came out great, and he was able to capture so many amazing moments from our wedding. Michael and his second photographer, Shukhrat, were on top of things entire night, capturing photographs from every angle, and also somehow blending into the background allowing us to really be in the moment with each other and our guests. We appreciated how organized he was, helping us get pictures with our wedding party in all the combinations we wanted. And he was great with the little kids - both getting them to smile when they were supposed to be in the pictures, and also helping distract them when it was time for them to step out of the pictures. Would definitely recommend Michael to anyone for their wedding - so glad he was with us to photograph our day. We'll treasure the memories he was able to capture for us, for the rest of our lives.

Great photographer!

Mike was amazing! He made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photo session and wedding. He was kind, professional, and responsive. And most importantly, the photos and photo album were amazing! Thanks Mike!

Amazing!!!

Mike was the best of the best! Not only are his photos amazing but he was the easiest person to work with. His wedding experience definitely shows when working with him! He always replied quickly to emails/ texts and made the planning process super easy! He came up with great ideas/ poses for the engagement shoot and made us comfortable being in front of the camera which prepared us for the wedding day!
The day of the wedding he showed up on time and ready to capture every moment. He got through my photo lists of about 50 combinations of different people in no time, which I didn’t think we would have time for! He was also running around during the reception to make sure he got a picture of every guest we had! Mike got all the best angles and was super fun to work with! Would definitely recommend him to anyone having a wedding near or far!
