As unexperienced photo subjects, my partner and I had so much fun and guidance throughout the whole process. Starting from what to wear, where to shoot, to how to pose, and even entertaining our silly ideas. Even though I came in a bit wary and awkward about how I'd come across, Michael did a great job to make sure that we were comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Great feedback and encouragement as we shot and I remember one prompt in particular. He told me to think about my favorite food as I looked at my partner. It's little things like that that I really appreciated about our session. We felt beautiful and are extremely grateful to have entrusted Michael to capture our essence. Just like with many things in life, a sense of trust and safety allows people to shine and it's a wonderful thing to be able to see that reflected in our photos. We will cherish them for a long time to come and can't wait til the next time!

Michael was so easy to work with. He was calm, organized, and fun! Most importantly, the photos turned out amazing! He paid close attention to detail and gave us small directions when we needed them. We couldn’t be happier with the end result.

On top of that, we loved working with him. He dealt with our rambunctious family gracefully and professionally. He was also really flexible when we asked to upgrade our package. We‘ll hire him again when the occasion arises!

My wife and I hired Michael to photograph our wedding. When we met with him to discuss our ceremony, it was clear that he was very experienced and professional. We explained that our wedding would be an immediately family only ceremony in a friend's backyard, followed by a Chinese tea ceremony, and he immediately was able to tell us his plan for photographing the day. We didn't even have to explain the tea ceremony process, and he was already familiar with many other cultures' wedding traditions!

On wedding day, Michael was so easy to work with. He arrived early to understand and photograph the setup. During the ceremony, I didn't even know he was there taking photos. Afterwards, he gave us plenty of direction of where to stand, how to pose and, because we were outside, where to face and stand for scenic shots. He was very friendly and funny and will make you feel like you've known him for a long time. We appreciated that he didn't try to rush through the photos and took time to accommodate our requests as well.

Michael sent us preview photos soon enough that we could include them in thank you cards, and the rest came much sooner than expected. They were incredible photos and the emotions of the day came rushing back looking though them, as they captured the moments perfectly. I could not recommend Michael enough and would definitely hire him again for future occasions!
