Chadwick Photography

Michael is absolutely fantastic! I cannot express how much he truly cares about his work. He captured every single candid moment possible and made my now husband and I able to relive our wedding every single day through his photographs. Not only is he talented but he is prepared for anything. Who needs a bride emergency kit when your photographer carries one of his own? Thank you for an amazing experience and making my wedding come to life again and again!

There are not enough words to describe how awesome Michael is! He helped make our day perfect! All of our guests kept commenting on how wonderful he was. I highly recommend him to any couple looking for the perfect wedding photographer!

Michael was absolutely wonderful! My wife and I had a two day cultural wedding, so it was a very busy weekend with many details and somewhat complicated logistics. Michael was so patient and professional even with the long 12-15 hour days. He was not only prepared for photography, but he was also prepared for any bridal emergency such as Bobby pins, oil blots, and many other goodies in his waist pack. He worked very hard to make us comfortable and make our weekend as perfect as possible, which it certainly was. Through his tall stature and funny jokes, he was able to capture the attention of children and adults. Michael also did a great job working with our videographer throughout the weekend, quickly building a rapport within minutes of meeting. Michael’s work was very detailed and he was able to capture all of the important details from the decoration, to the food, to the cultural traditions, and to the beautiful smiles of our family and friends. As soon as we received the photos, we were in love with every single one. Photos were perfect! We have no regrets in choosing Michael and we would certainly like to use him again! We highly recommend Michael and his team.

If this is the only sentence you read of this review, just know that if you book Michael Chadwick to be your wedding photographer, it’ll be the best decision you could make regarding your special day (or any other event you’re hoping to hire him for). We first met Michael two years ago, when he helped my now husband plan the perfect proposal at Grounds for Sculpture. Josh and Michael went to the location a few days beforehand to scope out the layout and on the day of, in extreme heat, he literally hid in the bushes to capture the moment. We knew that very day we wanted him to be our wedding photographer. Michael is not only extremely talented, but his compassion, knowledge and kindness, separate him from any other vendor we have ever worked with. Michael and Christopher make an incredible team and were an absolute pleasure to work with the day-of. Michael also did a great job communicating with us leading up to the wedding and on the day of literally had everything we could have ever needed (safety pins, stain stick, etc.). He even helped my bridesmaids bustle my dress. Michael truly made our wedding go as smooth as possible, and we cannot begin to thank him enough as he will forever be a part of our special day.

Absolutely loved working with Michael and his team! From the moment we met with Michael we knew it was going to be a great experience. Before our wedding we got a chance to do our engagement photos with him and he put our nerves at ease. We knew come the wedding day it was going to be a breeze! Michael is so easy to work with and anything you need he has. His work is absolutely beautiful!

To make it easy, if you’re looking for a wedding photographer and Michael Chadwick has availability, you should stop looking. While I do not have experience with and thus can’t compare against other wedding photographers, I can honestly say that Michael and his team bring so much to the table that I would not have wanted to work with anyone else. We had the pleasure of working with Michael throughout the day and both Michael and Chris during the ceremony and reception for our May 2019 wedding at Adventure Aquarium. I think the most important points to emphasize was how experienced, flexible, and professional they both were. Through the pre-wedding photos and the photography at the event, it was clear how important it was to have a photographer who could anticipate problems, advise and take advantage of opportunities, and roll with the punches. Michael not only was able to provide suggestions for photos in Philadelphia, but also helped to direct our driver through city traffic. He was prepared and easily worked around tourists, guest personalities, and a popped tuxedo button. Michael routinely went above and beyond in the pursuit of keeping the wedding party happy and comfortable. And I like to think that our comfort lead to authentic and beautiful photos of our wedding day. I truly cannot say enough about how great the experience was. Suffice to say, I wholeheartedly recommend their service.

We met Michael at a bridal show and after a phone consultation, we were sure he was the right photographer for us. He was so responsive and attentive to all our questions and concerns throughout the planning process. Michael was always available via email and had so many great suggestions and recommendations for our big day based on his many years of experience. Sheldon and Chris came out and shot for Michael Chadwick Photography and we absolutely loved working with them for our wedding. They were both so fun and easy to work with. We also got an extra treat when our photos were turned back in only a week! We loved them, as did our family and friends.

We got married March 9, 2019 at the Coach House at the Ryland Inn. We selected Michael Chadwick Photography to work with because he had various packages to accommodate our budget, was very easy to work with and took beautiful pictures! We worked with Sheldon Erb on the day of our wedding and couldn’t have been happier. Sheldon “got us” and made the day fun - our whole wedding party was a fan of him. The preview pictures that we have received are awesome and looking foreword to seeing the rest. Also, Michael handles everything throughout the process and coordination even if you don’t work with him directly on the day of your wedding - and he was fabulous and super patience with my bazillion questions and changes! Mary and Tyler

The moment we met Michael we knew, from his professionalism to his height, he would be able to capture our day. It was very comforting knowing that Michael was available not only for photography question but for all things that come with planning a wedding, its not his first rodeo. Day of the wedding Michael was ready for anything, he even had a trusty survival kit attached to his belt. He made sure we got every photo request we had and was ready for the unexpected, like our first dance. We had a choreographed first dance and the photos Michael and his team member captured was amazing! If your looking for a photographer to capture your wedding and display the true beauty of the day than look no further.

Michael was a terrific, joyful photographer who took excellent care of us throughout our entire engagement, wedding day and beyond. He was the photographer for my sister's wedding at the Bradford and he was the first vendor we booked for our wedding at the Merion. He was very organized, communicative and fun to work with before the wedding. He asked a lot of questions beforehand and really listened to what we wanted. On the big day, he helped us feel relaxed and captured our real emotions during all the big and small moments. His photos do an amazing job of showing the joy and celebration of the occasion. It was a pleasure getting to know him and we plan to stay in touch. We would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a great photographer for their wedding! If we could give him extra stars, we would!!

Five stars isn't enough for Michael. We got our pictures from our November 3 wedding yesterday, an incredible turnaround. We got a ton of pictures and they're all beautiful. Michael does an amazing job of capturing all of your guests- too often I see wedding pictures where anything not including the wedding party ends up on the cutting room floor,and we were lucky enough to get pictures of everyone! He has an incredible gift of sensing where the picture is! I dropped chocolate on my dress (because of course) and he appeared with a Shout Wipe before I could even consider leaving my table to go to the bathroom. He's really just incredible.

Mike was fantastic! He was really able to capture our big day and provided some excellent comic relief throughout it all. He remembered everyone's name in our families PLUS a 22-person bridal party!! (Which included a set of twins). A big thank you to Mike for helping to make our day so special and memorable!

From the moment we met Michael we knew right away we met our photographer. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed and we knew his personalitly is what we needed on our Big Day! He was like a ninja capturing the most precious, memorable candid moments. Every time we look at our wedding pics we feel like were reliving that night again, we laugh, cry and are amazed at all we didn't miss because it was all captured in the pics. He also comes prepared, I mean over the top prepared. Anytime I needed a bobby pin I never had to walk away from my guests or find one of my girls, he had it all taken care of from the beginning to the very end of the night! Every detail and request we had was taken care of. He was amazing with our guests, we had many people come up to us and say, "Where did you find him? He's great!". He's very personal and very professional! He payed attention to every detail and made sure it was everything we wanted and we could not be happier!!! He is highly recommended!!!

Highly recommend! Extremely nice, professional, and the photography is gorgeous!

Michael Chadwick was by far my favorite vendor and the best vendor we had for our wedding. He made it a point to learn every single persons name in our families and bridal party. He just made everything so natural and fun, and our pictures came out perfect.

What can I say about Michael Chadwick that hundreds of happy clients haven't already said? Our big day would not have been the same without him. From our very first consultation to the end of the wedding night, he made the entire process fun, efficient, comfortable, and easy! Countless guests made a point to come up and tell me how wonderful he was. Mid-reception, Michael's second photographer, Nicole, found one of my earrings out on the dance floor (eagle eye!), but the back was missing. As it turns out, Michael had a box that contained a huge variety of backings for me to choose from and I was back in business in 2 minutes. He came prepared, he drove a golf cart, he was even coaxed into singing a line of "That's Amore," and he made sure our day was nothing less than perfect.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing Michael was as our photographer. He felt like more of a family member the day of our wedding! My father lost a button on his tux and Michael was right there with his handy kit and fixed the button for him! His photography is amazing. He made us laugh, cry, and told jokes all day! Our beloved rottweiler passed a few months before our wedding and Michael was able to photoshop Scout into a picture with us and it was just amazing. I would hands down recommend him as a photographer for anything! My step- mother-in-law booked him for her work party only a couple weeks after our wedding!! Amazing and professional all around.

Michael was great he was there to help the whole night with pictures and other odds and ends. The pictures came out great as well.

Michael Chadwick did an amazing job as our wedding photographer. He made everyone very comfortable and did his homework in advance, knowing the names of all the VIPs in our wedding! His photos came out great and they came on a USB in a beautiful wooden box. We can’t recommend him enough.

Mike and Sheldon were great and very proficient in making sure we had time to join our guests in cocktail hour. They captured our first look perfectly and worked well will all our family and guests and captured every moment we wanted. Lots of variety of different things in our wedding from the first look, getting ready down to the little things such a our decor, etc. very friendly, funny and know how to get everyone in the mood for pictures. The work speaks for itself. Chose them you won’t be dissapointed! Thank you for making our day perfect!

Michael Chadwick is the real deal! He did the photography for both mine and my Sister’s wedding. From day one, Michael was easily reachable through phone and email. He always made himself available to answer questions and concerns. You can tell he is a well-seasoned wedding photographer because of his fine attention to detail. Photography aside, Michael was there to lend a helping hand throughout the entire day. We had a very large bridal party and to our amazement, Michael was able to memorize everyone’s first name. Our wedding day was perfect and we could not have asked for a better photographer!

Micheal is every bride’s dream photograoher. I was planning out of state, he made the whole “ choosing a photographer easy as pie” He was was prepared with everything that my bridesmaids and I needed. He was very knowledgeable about about how bustle a dress. He got AMuAZING getting ready shotsnthat I didn’t even knew he took. He was got a great shots of both families which was really important to me! The photo he took were absolutely stunning and breathtaking! I would hire him in an a heartbeat again!

My husband and I had the great pleasure of working with Michael on our wedding day. He was simply the best and we’re so happy that we found him through The Knot. From our first meeting at his office, we knew he was THE photographer for the job. He asked us questions about us and didn’t focus on packages or prices like so many other photographers and photography companies do. His sense of humor, warmth, and breadth of discussion topics make him very easy to talk to, especially when you’re someone who is extremely anxious about the mere idea of having their photo taken like me. On the wedding day, Michael is full service not only paying attention to your photos but every aspect of the day. His Batman-like utility belt comes equipped with anything you can thing of including bobby pins, tissues, fashion tape, earring backs, and even safety pins for when your husband steps on your dress and rips it right before the reception (yes this happened and Michael was right there to help when everyone heard the “RIIIIIIP”). The photos of the day came out perfectly and were everything we hoped for. His posed images are wonderful but his candid shots are amazingly instinctive and wonderfully chosen from a day of chaos when you don’t even remember what you were doing at that exact moment. He finds moments that catch the happiness and excitement of the day in your eyes. For a nervous photo subject, he kept me comfortable and laughing the whole day, and it shows in the images. Michael goes far beyond the call of duty for your special day from the moment you meet him. It’s impossible to be disappointed with Michael as their photographer… Thank you Michael!!!

We loved everything about him! My husband and I used him for our backyard wedding and also our engagement pictures! He made sure to include our 18 month old daughter in some shots which made our day even more special. He Kept us smiling all day with his personality and was always making us laugh. We are so happy that we choose Michael Chadwick photography for our big day we will definitely be using him again for other special occasions!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Michael for our wedding. From the very beginning he was super informative, attentive, and showed genuine care for his clients and craft. Communication is an area that I take very seriously and Michael and his team went above and beyond. Our photographer for our reception was one of Michael's colleagues, Sheldon. Sheldon was very professional, took amazing photos, and left a lasting impression on not only us, but our guests as well. Pricing is fair and extremely reasonably for the amazing service that is provided. I HIGHLY recommend their services for anything you may need a photographer for.

We chose Michael because we loved a friend's wedding photos that he shot, so we already knew we would be getting quality photographs, but we did not realize the great service we would be receiving as well! Michael pays attention to every detail of your wedding from the planning phase all the way through. He asks important questions and really gets to know everything about you and your family so that he can best capture each moment on your wedding day. I was beyond impressed on the day of our wedding. My straps kept falling - Michael had hollywood tape. My bustle broke on my dress - Michael had pins and fixed it right there. Tears were flowing - Michael was there with tissues. I would recommend Michael Chadwick Photography to anyone! Thank you Michael for so perfectly capturing our wedding day! 😊

From the moment we met Michael, we knew he was the photographer for us. His calm demeanor helped what can be a crazy day be a breeze for us. Our pictures turned out beautiful and none of them look staged or awkward as can sometimes happen when taking so many. Not to mention he saved the day multiple times including helping bustle my dress when the hooks ripped off! You won’t regret having Mike with you on your big day!

Michael is absolutely amazing! He not only captured our special day, but also brought humor, fun, and calmness (especially for me, the bride, when I needed it most) throughout the whole day! Our entire family and bridal party made several comments as well on how wonderful and fun Michael (and Sarah) were. Not only did he make it a point to take amazing photographs, but he was there for just about anything that came up during the day. For example, my grandma had trouble pinning her flower to her dress, so Michael pulled out some double sided tape from his bag and saved her day! In addition to the actual wedding day, Michael sent many check in emails in the months prior to the wedding day to see if we needed any help or advice. He didn't just take great photos for us, but he truly played an integral role in our wedding planning adventure from the very beginning. We actually wish Michael could have been one of our guests because he is so much fun to interact with :) However, his photos are amazing and we honestly can't recommend Michael enough!!

Michael was referred to me by a friend that got married and they LOVED him. I went and met with Michael and I knew he was the photographer for us and we were not disappointed. We have 3 kids that are not the easiest to get to smile, and with his background in theater, Michael made sure everyone was smiling and it looked natural. Also, I didn't want a ton of posed pictures, I was more about the candid shots and boy did Michael and his partner get candid shots! So many of the dance floor and people mingling, they are awesome. My final request was that I wanted to get to my cocktail hour. We did not do a first look, so we had to get all our portraits together done right after the ceremony and with two large families that was not going to be easy. Michael was sure to keep everything running efficiently and organized. Not only did we get some beautiful shots, my husband and I made 40 minutes of our cocktail hour! But Michael was MUCH more than a photographer. He was helping my mom get some things placed around our venue. He has a fanny pack that has just about anything you could ever want in it and we was very consultative! Most importantly, he was patient. As we know things can get crazy before a wedding, especially for the bride and Michael was calm cool and collected. Every person was like I can't wait to see your pictures, your photographer was everywhere (including in the bushes to get that great shot of the ceremony) and not one person, including me, was disappointed. Michael goes above and beyond from the time you book him, to the wedding to any requests you have after the wedding is over. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Michael photographed my sister's wedding in December 2017, as well as my wedding in February 2018. I can't say enough good things about Michael! I had a huge bridal party and he went out of his way to call each other them by name. He made my husband and myself feel comfortable the day of to be ourselves. He truly captured the love & laughter throughout the entire wedding day! The pictures came out beautiful and I am so happy that he photographed our special day! You will be in good hands if you choose Michael Chadwick Photography for your wedding!

Michael is fantastic! He was the photographer for our wedding, and we are so happy with the results, we highly recommend him! We were led to Michael by a friend of the family who had used him for their daughter's wedding. We were made to feel super comfortable and connected from the start. After an initial phone call, I knew this was the photographer I had to book...ask my mom, I called her saying we had to book him right away. Then when my parents and I met with him, we were sold. I could not have been happier with the services that Michael provides and the amazing photos! Michael is very attentive and helpful before, during, and after the wedding. Answering questions, carrying around a bag with every item one could possibly need on the wedding day, super friendly, keeps the humor going throughout the entire process, helpful when creating an album and choosing photos...the list goes on and on. I could rave about how great he is all day. He made everyone feel extremely comfortable during the entire process, especially my husband who hates having his photo taken. Everyone was joking around with Michael and his assistant, keeping everyone relaxed and allowing us to enjoy the moment. Michael checked in with my groom and I several times leading up to the wedding, to make sure all questions and concerns were answered and addressed (even if it had nothing to do with photography, he was a great sounding board and there to help with whatever he could), and he made sure to have ideas of what we wanted in advance. He made sure to relieve any stress and to pay attention to details. The pictures were unbelievable too, it is impossible to choose favorites because they are all that awesome. Thank you Michael for your work! You will not be disappointed when using Michael Chadwick Photography!

My husband and I knew the moment that we sat down to meet with Michael our search for a photographer was complete. He captured us with his amazing personality and drew us in with his beautiful eye for photography. Michael was a rock during the entire wedding process, even about questions unrelated to the photos. The day of the wedding I was calm and happy knowing that Michael was there to capture all the special moments. He is thorough and its obvious he loves what he does. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer, you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Michael and his assistant Sheldon were the photographers on the day of our wedding (11/18/17) and they were both extremely nice, funny, professional, and helped the day run smoothly. We could not have asked for better photographers to help capture our wedding day! We came across Michael because he was one of the recommended vendors for photographers at our venue. We spoke with a few photographers before choosing Michael and felt that he was honest, friendly, relatable and more than just a photographer. Michael comes equipped with not only his camera, but a satchel filled with every possible thing you would need for your wedding day (bobbie pins for every hair color, double sided fashion tape, stuff so your shoes don't slip, etc.). The hair and make up artist on the day of the wedding were even impressed with what Michael had carried with him for the "just in case" situations! Besides capturing the most beautiful moments of our wedding, Michael also helped to take my veil out, bustle my dress, and assisted my aunt when her scarf caught on fire from a candle! He goes above and beyond just being a photographer and is without a doubt the best. We got our photos back quickly and truly enjoyed looking back on our wedding day and laughing at moments we missed throughout the night! Many of our family members still talk about how great our wedding photographer was! I would highly recommend Michael to anyone and everyone!

We found Michael Chadwick through a serendipitous search on The Knot, and we knew as soon as we met with him that we needed to book him as our wedding photographer. By the end of our consultation session, we felt like old friends, and his portfolio powerfully speaks to his artistry and creativity. Michael is truly a professional in every sense of the word. He braved a snow storm (and loved every minute of it!) in December to shoot our beautiful engagement photos that my friends and family still talk about (in addition to our wedding photos, of course!). He was also there for us every step of the way through the planning process, whether my question was directly related to photography or not. Michael is a veritable wealth of wedding knowledge, and is more than willing to offer his guidance. On the day of the wedding, he knew exactly what to say to calm everyone’s nerves (mine in particular) and he has a utility belt full of wedding essentials that would make even Batman jealous. Not to mention he always finds a way to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, ready with a joke and a smile. This was so important for my husband and I, since we are both a little camera shy. All of our wedding photos are phenomenal, but my absolute favorites are the ones where Michael captured a candid moment or the true joy we both felt that day— and there’s so many of them! I will treasure those photos for the rest of my life. Since Michael took our engagement photos in January, I’ve been telling anyone who will listen to me that they need to book him. A friend from college has already booked him for her wedding next November, and it makes me so happy to hear that her and her future husband love him already too!

My husband and I could not have picked a better photographer. He was so plesant to work with, really listened to our opinion, took the time to get to know us, and really captured genuine emotion and compassion in our pictures. Our pictures turned out beautiful and we are having the hardest time picking our favorites. He beyond passed our expectations, we’re very pleased.

We could not have asked for anything more! Michael was great to work with from the time we met until our goodbyes. We had a beach wedding and Michael showed up in all black, it was unbelievable the pictures and angles he took, yet was never seen. Not only did he take amazing pictures he also came prepared for everything from makeup removed when I got makeup all over my husband’s shirt, to the right colored bobby pin for my hair! He truly was amazing, and we can’t thank him enough for capturing our special day!

Michael Chadwick is simply exquisite. My husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture as well as be a part of our entire wedding experience. He impressed us immediately the day we met him and we left without hesitation on whether he would be fit for us. He is not just consider our photographer, but our friend. Michael will go above and beyond and make sure no detail is missed. He is funny, genuine, caring, and attentive. His quick responses to emails goes a long way, he is always there for you. His humor lightens the mood of any situation and he goes out of his way to know you on a personal level and even know your family on the wedding day. His photographs that he captures are beautiful. We are still in love with our photos no matter how many times we go back and review them. We also had the pleasure of working with Kat as our second photographer that Michael hired and she was fantastic as well. Great pair. If you want a talented photographer who is down to earth and takes gorgeous photographs then you need Michael. I will continue to use Michael as our photographer going forward in the future for whatever occasion I need. Thank you Michael for everything, you are one of a kind and the best on the knot! We love ya!

My wife and I could not be happier with the service, professionalism, humor, advice, communication, and obviously, incredible photographs provided by Michael Chadwick. We dealt with a lot of really great vendors during our wedding planning, but Michael was by far our favorite. To say he went above and beyond would be an understatement. He truly is a jack of all trades and has a MacGyver-esque set of emergency supplies to boot (which came in handy more than a few times). Michael did an outstanding job organizing the "laundry list" of shots we requested and made the experience really personal with our family and friends. He is a true professional and did an amazing job capturing the memories made on our wedding day.

Mike acted as more than a photographer the day of my wedding. He put everyone at ease and cracked jokes that kept everyone looking natural in their photographs. He always ensured I got all the pictures I wanted, and asked my opinions as the day wore on. I appreciate that he carried an emergency bag of goodies to make sure my hair was in place and even helped bustle my dress. The man legit did it all. I have only seen one shot online thus far, but he showed me some of his pictures on the camera, and they looked AMAZING! I have no reservations recommending him to everyone.

Our wedding was on 9/22/17 and we used Michael and one of his second photographers (Sheldon) for our special day. Our experience was fabulous in all aspects, from meeting him the first time, to the engagement photos, to the wedding itself. One of the first things I loved about him was his great communication. He always responds to e-mail very quickly and was readily available to talk through things with me or give recommendations whenever I needed it. Next, he makes you feel very comfortable and always tries to keep the mood relaxed and laid back. He makes it feel easy and fun. As far as the wedding itself, we booked Michael for 10 hours. He even came to the bridal suite a little earlier and got right to work. He (and Sheldon during his 3 hours) where EVERYWHERE we needed them to be during the cocktail hour and dinner. They seemed to be everywhere we turned capturing all of the best moments. They were very professional and their experience with weddings was evident. Lastly, one of the other little details that helped me chose Michael was that he gives a Police, Fire Department, First Responders, and Registered Nurses discount and I am an RN so that was an added bonus :)

Where do I start? From the moment we walked into Michael's studio to meet him as a potential photographer, his friendly personality was known. Instead of starting the day with trying to convince us to chose him, he took note of my husbands "Philadelphia Union" shirt and talked some soccer (I think that might have been the most into the whole wedding planning process that Joe had been). After our meeting with Michael we knew he was going to be our photographer and quickly booked and couldn't have been happier with that decision. He was always available for any questions along the way and on our wedding day played a huge part of keeping the day moving smoothly. We were more than grateful for his reminders to "breath" and the thoughtfulness he put into planning for our day by memorizing all of our family's names prior to the event (even if he did have trouble keeping all of the Foley boys names straight… he can blame their parents for that ;) ). Anyone need a bobby-pin (or a couple dozen)? needle and thread? shout pen? .... well they were all needed that day and guess who pulled them out of his magic fanny pack... that's right. Michael Chadwick! Everyone told us going into the day that your wedding day flies by and they were not lying! Michael captured every detail of our day with the finest quality to help preserve our memories forever and for that we will be forever thankful! On top of that we had our proofs within three weeks and the USB and beautiful memory box within a week of that… which for a very impatient recent bride was much appreciated :) If you are looking for a photographer to capture your special we HIGHLY recommend Michael Chadwick and are sure you will be just as pleased with your choice as we were!

Michael was amazing throughout the whole process! From our first meeting to the engagement pictures to the big day, he was fantastic! He is so knowledgeable, has tons of experience, comes stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need on the big day, and his pictures turn out perfect! He was even able to keep me calm on the day of my wedding when I thought we were running late! We are truly so thankful that we had the chance to work with Michael. We absolutely love our pictures and we recommend him to anyone and everyone who's looking for a photographer!!

Michael was absolutely amazing! He made my husband and I feel like the most special people in the world on our wedding day. He knew exactly which type of photos I wanted to take and made sure I took enough pictures with family and friends. He knew what was important to us, and made the entire experience a personal one. He is devoted to his work and makes everyone around him feel at ease. He is a joy to be around and made picture taking enjoyable for my guests. He also made sure to capture all the details of my day on camera- which I greatly appreciated. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had Michael capture the joy and love present on the most important day of my life. I am so overjoyed with our photos and cannot wait to work with him again!

Can't say enough good things about Michael Chadwick. He had us laughing from the moment we met him. He even worked with us to find a package that worked for us and was a good price. He was amazing the day of the wedding with putting us all at ease. I was so worried about my hair, and about my face in pictures, and any time he saw my smile start to freeze, he would remind us to breathe and it was exactly what we needed to relax. He was awesome with our family, and bridal party (which was huge) he remembered everyone's names and treated everyone like family. And we got our pictures back in 3 weeks!!!!!

I picked Michael solely based on the rave reviews he receives on the Knot, and we were not disappointed. Michael was punctual, on top of all details, offered great advice, leading up to the big day. On the day, he kept me calm throughout, was prepared with items for any wedding day catastrophe even though they may have nothing to do with photos. He was as fun to have at the hair salon, surrounded by women, as he was throughout our ceremony and reception, everyone commented on his awesome personality. He coaxed some beautiful shots out of my grumpy 7-yr old niece, the flower girl. And despite howling wind on the beach, timed so many beautiful shots of the ceremony and our families. Thank you so much, Michael!

Michael photographed our wedding this past weekend. I cannot express how amazing he was to have around. Not only can I gaurantee that he took amazing pictures but the amount of good things that my family and friends spoke of him was incredible. Many people expressed how nice he was and were so impressed that he knew all of their names! Michael was also great at helping me out throughout the day with things that weren't photography! I knew I could count on him to make sure my dress was in its proper place for photographing. He kept me to my timeline and was sure to get me to my reception at the time I wanted to be there. I can't wait to see our wedding pictures!

We booked Mike for both my sister's wedding in April and my wedding in July, as well as my engagement pictures. He was absolutely perfect during all three events. Mike learned everyone's names, which impressed our guests thoroughly, and was able to keep up with any happening and take it in stride. Though, I have not yet received the pictures for my wedding back, my sister's were absolutely stunning, as well as our engagement pictures. Both sets came back within a week, which just seemed to extend the excitement of the event for everyone. Also, Mike is totally prepared for any occurrence, from a dropped bobbie pin to an over involved mother. My girls were literally overjoyed by him, and the girls that were in both weddings were so happy to have him back. Literally when he left at the end of my wedding we were all a little sad. We will definitely be making excuses to hire a photographer in the future so we can book Mike again!

Absolutely amazing!!! Michael was everything I could've imagined my wedding photographer to be. Even before the event, he sent us multiple surveys and questionnaires asking questions down to the detail so that he would be sure to make the experience exactly what we wanted. He was professional and helped guide everyone through the process with kindness and efficacy and was flexible with many different unavoidable factors. He listened to our input and made sure that we took all of the pictures that we wanted but also used his creative eye to help us imagine some shots that we simply wouldn't have come up with on our own. During the event, he moved around almost invisibly but was always available when we or a guest was interested in taking a specific picture. Lastly, Michael was absolutely hilarious, putting everyone at ease and making the process more fun than anticipated. We enjoyed many laughs and a great conversation about theater! By the end of the evening, I felt as if we had known each other for longer than we really did. I couldn't recommend Michael more!!!

Phenomenal! Michael was a true pleasure to work with. He handled a large wedding party with ease, got to know everyone's name, and literally had a fix for anything that came my way as the bride. More than anything, Michael balances professionalism and warmth perfectly. He made us feel so comfortable with him and our photos came out terrific. Thank you Michael!

It's hard to write this review without simply reiterating the wonderful things that have already been said about Michael Chadwick, but if nothing else, they deserve to be said again. Not only is he an amazing photographer, he's amicable and helped soothe everyones' nerves the day of the wedding. Absolutely recommend!

Mike is the best, worth every penny. He is willing to work with you and always comes prepared. The photos are amazing! I have to say the photos and having Mike as our photographer was worth every penny.

You will NOT be disappointed if you select Michael Chadwick Photography as your wedding photographer! My husband and I had engagement pictures taken less than 6 months before we got married by a different agency and had planned to use the same photographer for our wedding. Those pictures ended up not being a good fit for my husband and I so we had to scramble to find a new wedding photographer quickly and fit within our budget. I reached out to Michael Chadwick Photography and he responded quickly and his pricing met our budget. Since it was such a short time frame that we had (and the wedding was about 4 hours away from our home) we did not get a chance to meet with Michael prior to the wedding. Even without meeting him, I knew he was the best choice. He sent us electronic forms that captured literally all of the information that I wanted to get across, and then some that I hadn't previously considered!! He was super flexible and helpful trying to work out a timeline and details for our big day. On the day of, he was there really early scoping everything out. He captured every moment I had hoped for and many that I, again, hadn't even considered! He was so easy to work with and made everyone laugh throughout the day! He really made us feel comfortable. For the pictures of the two of us, he had us interact with each other how we normally would in real life instead of forcing poses that looked/felt unnatural to us. I am so thrilled with how the pictures turned out!! He even had them edited and posted before we even returned from our honeymoon!!!! I could go on and on about how wonderful he was, how happy I was that we chose him and how much everyone in attendance complimented his skill/personality/sneakiness/etc.!!!

My wife and I would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the friendship and service Michael provided us during our wedding journey. The care, concern, humor, professionalism, and talent he gave to us and to our family and friends were excellent. We are so impressed with Michael, and we are extemely happy we chose him as our photographer. I cannot tell you how many times during our wedding, reception, and even now- after all the tuxes and gowns have been put away- people have complemented not only Michael's work but Michael himself. “Who was that photographer? He was awesome!”; "Your photographer is such a cool guy!" are two of the most common statements we hear about our wedding. Michael provided us exceptionally beautiful photos, and every shot contains meaning and memory. The skill and experience required to accomplish such a task is quite impressive. To quote my wife, "The photos are perfect!" We will never forget our wedding day, and because of Michael's work and expertise the many memories of that day are all the more beautifully framed for us. We are so happy that he was a part of it. You will not be disappointed in choosing Michael Chadwick Photography. Thank you, Michael!

My husband and I were beyond thrilled with Michael Chadwick as our wedding photographer. We were both in the wedding party of a wedding that Michael was shooting a few years before our wedding, and my husband and I were so impressed by his professionalism, creativity, and attentiveness. There was no question that we would hire him for our upcoming wedding, and he certainly did not disappoint! He worked with our budget and made sure that our special day turned out beautifully. He took the time to learn the names of our parents and everyone in our bridal party. Michael put everyone at ease and made the day run so smoothly. He was prepared for anything that could go wrong, equipped with a sewing kit and much more. The photos that he captured were so gorgeous!! It was difficult to narrow down which ones to use in our wedding album. We always recommend Michael Chadwick to all of our friends who get engaged because he is the best!

Hiring Michael Chadwick was the best decision we made for our wedding day. We were married on December 29th 2016 in Avalon, NJ at the United Methodist Church. Our reception was held at The Reeds in Stone Harbor. Throughout the day, Michael was phenomenal and captured every detail perfectly with his beautiful pictures. He photographed many special moments without anyone realizing he was there. In addition to being highly skilled, Michael was the epitome of professionalism. His calm demeanor, easy going personality and humor made everyone feel comfortable and at ease throughout the day; especially with the younger members of our wedding party. Our guests loved him as well! It was also reassuring to know that he knew and had worked with our other vendors prior. Communicating with Michael was very easy throughout the entire wedding process; his website is well organized and user friendly. Michael was very responsive with answering all our questions and provided us with our photos shortly after the wedding. He is an all-around great guy, and it was obvious that he strived to make our day as meaningful to us as possible. Without a doubt, we highly recommend him. We look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks again Michael for the Talisker!
