    Best Photographer Ever!

    My husband and I worked with Michael for both our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. He made the whole experience amazing! Michael is such a kind and caring person! I will definitely have him capture ALL of our events in the future! All of his photos are so beautiful. I am extremely happy we chose him to capture our big day!

    Michael Barker Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much Nicole! I enjoyed every moment I spent with the two of you and Hazel. I look forward to what the future holds for your sweet family!

    Awesome and hilarious photographer!

    Michael was my Aunts’ photographer for her wedding and after seeing his pictures it was a must for us to have him for our special day. We plan to keep him in the family moving forward!

    Michael Barker Photography's reply:

    Thanks Rose'Anna! I can't wait for you and Cody's big day. The engagement session was fun and you picked a great location.

    Choosing Michael Barker photography was the BEST decision we made!

    We were so blessed that Michael was available to shoot our 11/3/18 wedding. We fell in love with his work after he shot my sister's wedding back in 2015 and I continued following him on his social media sites so I could keep up with his work. When I found out he was available for our date I could not get the permanent grin off my face. The day of the wedding Michael was there early to capture all of those special moments (some that I had not even thought to ask for). He helped round up my rambunctious bridesmaids and flower girl, found missing items when needed, helped remind me to just breathe when I found myself completely freaking out....all of which were not a requirements for his job yet he offered to help any way he could. As far as actual photography, he definitely left us happy & thoroughly pleased with our results. We had an EXTREMELY windy wedding yet he managed to capture all of the perfect shots. We also loved the way our proofs were presented to us after the wedding and the custom keepsake box was the icing on the cake to a perfect experience. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a photographer to contact Michael. You won't be disappointed.

    Michael Barker Photography's reply:

    Making me blush! Thank you for such a kind review Tiffany. I thoroughly enjoyed capturing your day!

    Best photographer ever

    Michael went above and beyond for my wedding. He helped organize my family and party and got great family formals. He met with me before the big day and was so helpful and encouraging!

    Michael Barker Photography's reply:

    Thank you for the great review Kaitlin! And thanks for trusting me on your special day to capture the special moments. I had a great time reconnecting with your family and meeting Billy’s family.

    Captured beautiful photos of every moment throughout the day without being intrusive. You were sensitive of multiple awkward family dynamics. Final product was amazing, I am absolutely thrilled with my photos!

    Michael Barker Photography's reply:

    It was my pleasure to capture your wedding day! Thank you for your kind review and I wish you and your family the very best.

    Look no further, you've found the perfect photographer. Pictures were the most important thing to me and my hubby when we started planning our wedding and Mike was the perfect fit. I knew as soon as we talked and I looked through his albums that he was the perfect fit for our big day.

    His photos are amazing, and he's so much fun to work with. Flexible, and easy going but absolutely professional and he really took the time to get to know my style and what was going to be the most important things to capture during our wedding. Mike went above and beyond to help make this the most wonderful, and special day of our lives, and we could never express our gratitude or appreciation enough.

    We could not have asked for a better photographer! The most amazing part was how seamlessly Michael was able to integrate the wedding photography into the whole process. No hiccups and only incredible work and remarkable professionalism throughout the entire process. We cannot recommend Michael highly enough!

    Michael Barker Photography's reply:

    Thank you Kevin and Jessica for a great review! It was an amazing day and I wish you two the absolute best in your future as a couple. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. -Michael

    The time and attention to detail Michael brings is hard to match! Packaged with an awesome sense of humor and caring attitude, not just for his work but for people, make it easy for me to say this guy ROCKS!

    Michael was an absolute joy to work with! He was very personable, down to earth, took the stress away from me, but most importantly listened to my wants! As busy as the day was, I was in total confidence he was going to get the job done. He exceeded all expectations and takes his job very serious; as all photographers' should since this is such an important part of any Wedding Day. It was an absolute pleasure working with him and would highly recommend him to anyone. Our pictures turned out amazing and now we have lifetime of memories to can cherish forever!

    Michael Barker Photography's reply:

    Thanks Jess for the great review! You, Alan, your entire bridal party and the families were so wonderful and easy going to work with. Love you guys!

    Michael Barker is an incredible photographer and coordinator! :D He did a fantastic job of helping us organize the shots and was a calming force in the middle of all the wonderful chaos. We were so excited to see the "story" of our wedding portrayed in the pictures. He got all the photos that we wanted even though we failed to give him a list and surprised us with his vision and originality. He made me, a very low-key, blend into the background, type of bride feel wonderful and the pictures were amazing!

    I was given a link, from my wedding coordinator, to a post Michael put out there that he was giving two local brides that were effected by the bankruptcy of a photography company-The Wedding Shoppe. I was drained $2,000 from The Wedding Shoppe and receive no service and no money back. Michael being the incredibly generous person that he is completely saved our wedding day! The most important thing to us was our pictures and being able to look back at the greatest day of our life. Michael made that possible for Jordan & I. In the beginning I was a little skeptical cause I thought to myself---FREE!!!???? ALL DAY COVERAGE!? No way! Meeting with him put those thoughts and feelings to rest. He was INCREDIBLY professional and made sure I was able to capture ALL of the most important moments. Planning was a breeze all because of him. Then comes the BIG Day thinking oh gosh this is going to be so stressful--- NO WAY! Michael was an absolute pleasure to work with and so much fun! I adore this man & his heart! He was an absolute GOD SEND! I cannot wait to receive our pictures back. He gave us a few sneak peeks and just from those, I know they are going to be perfect! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Michael!

    Talented & Caring Photographer

    Michael Barker is a VERY TALENTED photographer and an amazing person! His passion for his art is clearly seen in his work. He took the best photo I’ve ever seen of my husband / business partner for a unique life size project I was working on for our company. He went out of his way to help us and I cannot say enough great things about the quality and likeness – he captured him! Also, as a vendor in the events industry he is collaborative and supportive of other vendors. As another service vendor in the event industry, I absolutely recommend Michael Barker Photography!

    I don't even remember how we found Michael - but very glad we did. We didn't want to break the budget on photography, but we wanted to make sure we had memories to hold on to. Michael really works with you to get what you want. He meets with you and goes over every detail. He is very friendly, and easy to work with. If we need a photographer again, we will be calling on Michael!

    Michael Barker Photography's reply:

    Thank you Sarah for your review. I so enjoyed being part of your special day!

    I was overall very pleased with the services I received. There were a few pictures that I would have liked to have that I assumed were pretty standard wedding pictures that weren't taken, but I did not provide him with a specific list, so part of that is my fault.

    Thank you for your review. I'm wondering if there are images that didn't get transferred to your flash drive? Please contact me.
