About

On WeddingWire since 2010

I'm Michael, a New England photographer and the owner of Michael Paul Weddings based on Cape Cod in Brewster, Massachusetts. Out here on the cape, we pride ourselves on capturing priceless moments in a way that transports clients back to that special day of celebration. When everything is said and done—the cake frozen, the dress preserved, and the luggage put away—the one thing you can expect from us is simply beautiful pictures.

Services Offered

I am a documentary-style photographer, capturing images in a photojournalistic aesthetic. While I'm very good at photographing a wedding solo, I can also work with a second photographer, where we can be at two places at once. We at Michael Paul Weddings are happy to cover your entire celebration, including during the getting-ready process or cocktail hour. With a second photographer, we can get different perspectives on “once in a lifetime” moments, from walking down the aisle to your first dance. Some of my other services include:

  • Traveling for out-of-state weddings
  • Engagement and portrait photo sessions
  • Keepsake albums and prints

So happy with our choice

Mike was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely professional and made me and my husband feel comfortable and have fun in front of the camera. His communication was extraordinary and his responses were prompt. It helped elevate a lot of the stress that comes with choosing wedding vendors. He got all the shots that I wanted plus some amazing ones I never would have thought of. The fact that he has the experience helped create beautiful shots that helped capture our wedding day. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We are so happy with our decision to hire Mike and he will definitely be the one I turn to for any other milestone that I want to capture beautifully in time. I can't recommend him enough!

When my then fiancé now wife told me what she wanted to spend on a photographer I almost dropped my beer! I couldn't understand what could make somebody want to spend that much money, (keep in mind I am cheap, whatever digital camera someone might have would have been fine) so she showed me their web site and read me some of their reviews, I was impressed but definitely still skeptical so I agreed to go meet with them. They agreed to meet us close to where we were living in central mass about an hour drive from them. Upon meeting Michael and Linda I realized why they had received such great reviews. They showed me their work and ran through the entire process for me, from what all of the option were to how things were going to work, including the engagement photos. They even agreed to go up to Maine in December to shoot our engagement photos in Kennebunkport! After that weekend I knew we had received a fantastic deal not to mention great new friends! The engagement photos were fantastic and they were fantastic throughout the entire process, keeping in touch and checking in to see if there was anything we needed! Leading up to and on the wedding day they managed to exceed everything they had already done! I would not just recommend them to everybody I would say it should be required!

An EASY 5 stars all around! Michael (with Linda's assistance) did a fantastic job at our wedding. We haven't seen the photos from the wedding yet (other than a couple on the camera LCD), but we also did an engagement shoot, which I also highly recommend. It was more fun that I thought it would be and the pictures came out great. Michael is very low key and relaxed but knows how to take the best shots. He charges a little more than some of the other photographers we looked at but we were not really satisfied with the samples we saw from the other photographers (less than ideal framing, no "life" or depth to the photos, excessively shiny faces etc). Not the case with Michael.

If you want to have great photos you can count on, Michael is your guy.

New England Photographer – Living on Cape Cod

Simply beautiful weddings. I pride myself on capturing priceless moments in a way that transport you back to that special day of celebration. So, when everything is said and done; the cake is frozen, dress preserved and luggage put away; the one thing you can expect from us are simply beautiful pictures.

I was born and raised in California and have been in Massachusetts for the past 25 years. I am lucky enough to call Cape Cod home; where I am

currently chasing sailboats, catching sunsets and shucking oysters.

I’ve been a photographer my entire adult life. I graduated from Brooks Institute of photography sometime in the last millennium. I’m trained as a commercial photographer, and to be fair, it’s my bread and butter.

But it’s not fun or even mildly enjoyable and I have never once made an art director cry over one of my beautiful pictures; Which is why I likeweddings. They are happy, fun and I get no bigger compliment than when I can make someone’s mother cry tears of joy.

I have documented over 1000 weddings and over 400 engagement portraits. Please enjoy my galleries and let me know if you want to learn more.

When I meet with a couple one of the first things that I ask is, "who's your photographer?" ...and in my mind I'm praying that it's Michael from Michael Paul Photo, because I know that the photographs will be amazingly perfect with every detail and moment from that one day documented just as it should be. Then to top it off, the way that Michael and his wife, Linda make it a point to get to know their couples, so when it comes to the "Big Day"...your new best friends are right there with you, capturing every beautiful moment. Luckily for me, the florist, I also have a best friend photographer named Michael to share your day with me. In my opinion, cameras were made...just for Michael.
