Chadwick Photography

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!!!

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!

ichael 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.

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! 😊

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!

ents 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!!

is 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.

y 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!

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!

e 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.

he 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!

olio 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!

ed out beautiful and we are having the hardest time picking our favorites. He beyond passed our expectations, we’re very pleased.

n. 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!

n 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!

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.

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.

ne 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 :)

iladelphia 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!

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!!

new 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!

ase. 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!!!!!

repared 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!

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!

le 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!

ience 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!!!

ism and warmth perfectly. He made us feel so comfortable with him and our photos came out terrific. Thank you Michael!

ped soothe everyones' nerves the day of the wedding. Absolutely recommend!

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.!!!

lent. 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!

fessionalism, 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!

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!

wedding. Michael was definitely the most talked about vendor at our reception. Any thing you might need, he'd have in his fanny pack. Need a band aid or something to stop your shoe from rubbing your foot raw? Not a problem! Michael's got you covered. He starts as a hired vendor and ends up a lifelong friend. You will NOT regret hiring Michael Chadwick Photography.

th Michael was fun and easy and i would recommend him to anyone!

same. He makes sure to know AND remember everyone's names. And regardless of how prepared you think you are with your own emergency kits I can guarantee you will still end up using various items out of his instead. I read a review on him saying that he is everywhere and nowhere at the same time during your event and it really is the truth. Everyone at our reception loved how he carried himself and I have already had single friends say that if they ever get married he would be the first photographer they would get in touch with. Our second photographer Kat was the perfect choice for our personalities. If you're hesitant about cost at all he is very comparable to other photographers we looked at but hands down worth every single penny and I would book him all over again in a heartbeat. (Did I mention our pictures came back quicker than expected too even during his busy fall season?) BOOK HIM.

n't have to look any further! Michael is so personable, you literally feel like you've known him your whole life! I'm not in any way a creative or outgoing person, but he asks what type of pictures you would like and gives you what you wish and so much more. From booking to receiving our final album he made everything so easy and stress-free! I've hear some horror stories about photographers, some being bossy, to receiving the album MONTHS later. Michael is so accommodating, and professional, but laid back at the same time. He answered any question I had within the same day, and was so helpful with suggestions and ideas. I really can't say enough about him! Our USB drive was ready so fast, and the next thing was the album, Michael emailed me and said he will try and get to the album asap, of course I told him no rush (wedding season!) we had the proof within less than 2 weeks! My mom was nice enough to go pick up those things for us, and even told me if I ever have time and am having a bad day to just stop by Michaels studio and just have a conversation with him because he is "such a nice person he will put you in such a good mood just talking to him." She said she and my dad were there talking to him for at least half hour/45 mins! And the pictures were just BEAUTIFUL! We couldn't have asked for more! There are pictures we got that you wouldn't even think to have or want-for example we have a photo of me and my husband at the altar in the background, and the focus is on our flower girls back, standing and staring straight at us. So you see her gorgeous white dress, and me and my white dress in the background. Like I said it's not something you would think of, but as soon as I saw it, it became an instant favorite! I'm so happy with everything we got from Michael and his team, and I will absolutely recommend him for ANY photoshoot, be it wedding, engagement, maternity pics, family portraits- I will most definitely be calling him once we start our own family! Thank you thank you thank you Michael!!

ed with me the way Michael did. After our meeting he was the clear winner! Initially our wedding was to be held in Northern NJ on 08/27/16, but in early 2015 my fiancé and I decided to make a major cross-country move to the Las Vegas area. After this we decided to change the wedding date and location yet despite this, Michael graciously agreed to remain our photographer and travel for our destination wedding on 10/14/16. To account for his travel costs we only had to make a few minor adjustments to the package we had booked, and he did not increase the overall cost of our package. He even had a wedding previously planned for the day after our new wedding date, but he was still willing to make the trip! On the wedding day, he was absolutely wonderful. He was organized and well-prepared for everything, and kept everything running smoothly. Having Michael there with us was like having a photographer and coordinator all in one, and he was our best vendor by far. Whenever someone needed something, he miraculously had it on him! After getting the pictures back I was not disappointed as they were absolutely beautiful! The venue itself was a beautiful backdrop, but his photos really added a level of depth. He even humored us when we wanted to take some crazy/funny photos including a star wars themed photo, T-rex chasing the bridal party, and even a photo of the bridal party giving the camera the finger! (some of my favorite photos lol) I love all of the pictures so much, and the album he put together is the most wonderful memento of my wedding day. Overall, you cannot go wrong choosing Michael as your wedding photographer. He will help make the day of your dreams come true, and the memories from the beautiful photos will be priceless.

l was already booked for our date. We are so glad that we chose him. Sheldon was friendly, funny, and really just a joy to be around on our wedding day. We felt very comfortable with him, and were impressed with his professionalism and ability to get all the pictures we wanted without feeling like we missed out on any of the party. We can highly recommend Sheldon as the primary photographer. The planning process was very easy; Michael and Sheldon quickly answered all questions before and after the wedding. We are so happy with the quality of our pictures, and we feel like they perfectly capture our wedding day and the overall feel of it. Michael has also been great to work as far as getting albums printed, you can tell he really cares about providing great and personal customer service.

nd scissors- he had it handy). We knew we were in good hands with Michael and Bob. Our pictures turned out beautifully and they really captured the big and small moments of our day. Also- very personable, which put us at ease.

and all I can say was WOW! Made our wedding experience enjoyable and were able to put us at ease and made us laugh the entire time. The photographs are AMAZING! I keep staring at them! As I am one in may this year in my group of friends whom just got married, and comparing each others wedding experience they are in awe at how attentive Bob and Kat where and how wonderful the pictures are compared to their experience. Michael, Bob Kat thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

lutely would hire Michael Chadwick. Highly recommend! Thank you Michael!

y were very organized and well prepared, and Michael was so efficient in helping us through the preparations and in getting us our photos back to enjoy. I look forward to working with him again!

and knew every single person's name in our family and bridal party. During my wedding, he came to my rescue and bustled my dress! This guy is the best. To top it off, our pictures are everything I wanted! He really captured the moment in every photo. I love our photos! I have a very opinionated family and everyone raved how amazing Michael was.. This guy truly knows customer service! If you book him, you will not be disappointed!

incredible. He was able to guide my now husband and I through different poses and make us feel very comfortable. His personality is one that makes you feel as if you are best friends. This is so great to have on your wedding day. We had looked at our Engagement photos so many times- we couldn't believe how perfect they turned out. On our wedding day, we knew the pictures would be fantastic with Michael, we didn't know how helpful he would be in all other areas! Michael arrived at my home and immediately was helping my mom, grandmother, bridesmaids with anything they needed. My mom and grandmother felt so special. Michael also helped my bridesmaid with their gowns with his tool-kit of quick fixes. This was a godsend! We also had an INCREDIBLY hot day. Michael was very go with the flow when we decided not to take pictures outside and went straight to our venue. Throughout the evening, Michael and Nicole checked in on Alex and I and made sure to get pictures with our family. They also stayed later in the evening to help finish our story. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michael and his team. They are so professional and personable all at the same time. We are truly lucky to have him as a part of our wedding day!

ed my bridal attendant fix my bustle! The photos came out amazing.. I would recommend over and over again to anyone needing pictures taken.

ed the whole day go smoothly; we were on time for everything and he helped us all relax and have fun. We can't wait to see our pictures!! Thank you! We will definitely use him in the future for other things and would recommend him to anyone.

allowed us to embrace the entire process. The whole experience was wonderful and we have some amazing photos to show for it! Thank you so much!

for my wedding, he ensured me that the other members of his staff were all talented photographers, and he was absolutely right! Bob Creamer and Catherine Davies were assigned to my wedding, and they were both wonderful! If you're unable to physically meet with them, they will call, FaceTime, or Skype with you just to get a better idea of what you're looking for. The package we chose was to have two photographers, a USB of all our photos, and a bound album (we also had an engagement session as part of the package, but my husband and I actually ended up not doing one, but that had nothing to do with M.C.P.). I was constantly informed about any updates or issues, including a minor photography policy with the church, but Michael and Bob said they would take care of it for me as I was dealing with my other vendors. About a month before the wedding, I received an email to fill out an online questionnaire of detailed pictures that we wanted, and Bob brought a printout of it with him. While we did divert from some of the shots I originally wanted, we got the most important ones. I absolutely loved working with Bob and Cat! Bob's sense of humor was right in line with my family's, and he made it a point to get to know as many of my family and wedding party members as possible. Everyone had a great time with him! Cat was assigned to my husband and the groomsmen for the getting ready photos, and my husband said she was super nice and very professional (which is high praise for dealing with all guys for over an hour!). There was one particular moment during my wedding day that I'll never forget with Bob: At one point when we were trying to get the family photos after the ceremony, he almost seemed to sense I was stressed because we were getting behind schedule and the families were dictating the types of pictures they wanted. He approached me and asked if I was okay and what I wanted to do: stick strictly to the questionnaire or go by what the families were asking. At that time, I wanted him to listen to what the families were asking because the main pictures I wanted were going to come at the venue anyway. Also, that way, I knew that no one could complain that the pictures they wanted weren't taken. Bob and Cat were also good at dealing with our guests who were taking pictures on their personal devices. They would take their own photos and then tell the "paparazzi" to come forward to take their pictures. The pictures themselves? I absolutely LOVED them! Bob and Cat captured the key moments and shots I wanted the most. I've had multiple people tell me that certain shots look like they were out of a wedding magazine or advertisement! They also got some shots that I wasn't expecting, like random shots from the food stations that were setup for my cocktail hour that my husband and I missed most of. I just can't say enough about what they did for both my husband and me! I highly recommend this group, and hope to use them in the future for other special moments in our lives. Thanks again, Michael, Bob, and Cat!

! Can't say enough great things about him

website for all the amazing photos of past weddings) however that is not all you get when you work with Mike. He knows everything about weddings and was happy to give us advise throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding he came prepared. If I need a tissue, or to help get cake out of my dress he was there! When the weather took a turn for the worse he quickly adapted. He also keep everyone in my bridal party relaxed and smiling. He was not just a photographer but a large part of making my day so special. No one is better than Mike and his team!

people just think he is a family friend. He knows the bridal party participants' names before the wedding. He gets everything you want done, without making it stressful. He goes way above and beyond what we expected any photographer to do. We absolutely would recommend Mike to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! He is wonderful to work with, and the pictures turned out so incredible! We received our pictures within a week of our wedding. We arrived back from our honeymoon to an email with the pictures! He does such incredible work. He also did our engagement pictures, and they were so wonderful as well. We seriously could not be any happier with how our pictures turned out, and with the work Mike did! If we could give him a Million stars we would.

shoot our wedding so we ended up using Sheldon and Bob as our photographers. Michael and Sheldon were both in touch leading up to our wedding day, making sure everything was set and they had all the information they needed. On the day of our wedding Sheldon and Bob both arrived early, were easy going, and made the picture taking process easy. So many people commented on how great our photographers were- they made our bridal party laugh and managed to capture all of the special moments without being intrusive. Sheldon showed us some shots during the reception and we loved all of them. Michael was able to edit our photos and send us all of the proofs within ONE week of our wedding. The photos are breath taking and we have received so many compliments on our pictures. I am 100% satisfied with every aspect of our wedding photos. Michael, Sheldon, and Bob were all fabulous to work with and I would highly recommend them!

not only providing us with amazing photos from our day but he also cared enough to give us advice and tips for other aspects of the wedding. He made all of our guests have a wonderful time and he managed to capture moments that they had no idea he was there for. He may be a tall guy but he manages to make it seem like he's not even there! But he definitely is there for you in every way possible. He's not only a great photographer but after our experience with him for our wedding we are happy to call him friend.

. All of our guests complimented how polite and friendly Michael was and how they didn't even see him most of the day (which is saying a lot because he is about 6'4 or so). He felt like a long time family friend. My husband and I will be moving out of state soon, and we are already discussing having Michael come to shoot our maternity pictures when we get pregnant.

m for years. Throughout the planning he was very easy to get ahold of and very prompt to answer any questions I had. I liked him before our wedding day even came, but I LOVED him once he arrived at our wedding. The second he walked into the room he greeted everyone and memorized everyone's name! All night he was calling people by their first names - not just me and my husband - the entire wedding party and family! That small touch alone made everyone feel so much more comfortable and made taking pictures so much easier. He had tips for us about everything, not just photography related things. One of my girls ripped their dress during pictures and he whipped out a safety pin! We needed help bringing the box of flowers down from our hotel room and he grabbed it without a thought in the world. During the ceremony it seemed like he was everywhere we were before we had even thought to go there - but not in an annoying way. Any time a group of people came up to me and my husband to get a picture he ran over to get a professional shot of the same picture. Throughout the night a huge portion of our guests came up to us to tell us how much they loved him too! I really could go on forever about how much I loved him. He is also really affordable and offers a payment plan that allows you to pay 1/3 after your wedding which was a huge plus for us. I loved all of our vendors for our wedding, but Michael stood out among them all as our favorite (and not just because he's 7 ft tall ;P). He was the epitome of professionalism and you can immediately tell that he is extremely passionate about what he does. Seriously, don't even think about it - he is the photographer you want at your wedding!

Because of the weather, we had a last-minute change of venue and lots of other complications. Michael met with the event coordinator and had all of his logistics worked out before we even met him. He was super-professional, but also funny during the shooting of family portraits. He made my brother look good in photos and he's not photogenic at all. He captured some great moments during the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception. My favorite was a shot of my best man throwing his girlfriend over his shoulder and almost hitting someone in the face. It was epic. Michael was always easy to get in touch with if I had questions. His website made it really easy to make payments and get all the info I needed. And his services are really affordable. This guys is a total professional. I hope I won't need his services again, but if I do, I'll call him in a heartbeat.

above and beyond. Besides being professional and courteous he was also a lot of fun. We are beyond happy with our photos and will continue to recommend him to anyone we know in need of a photographer! Please take our advice and book him ASAP! Eryn Hillier

g without needing to physically be there. The day of the wedding he was so warm and personable and made everyone feel at ease. He remembered everyone's names and relationships and was able to do the portraits and special shots very efficiently. When we got our pictures they were top notch; he managed to capture all of the things we cared about and we were very happy with the quality. My wife and I would both recommend Michael for his personality and talent without hesitation!

mend Mike for not only his flawless photos but his amazing personality to put you at ease on your big day

t say, I am so grateful I chose Michael Chadwick Photography for our wedding photographer! Michael and his crew were beyond prepared for anything our wild party had to offer. We nearly depleted his wedding emergency kit- using bobby pins, safety pins, tide to go sticks, wet wipes, you name it. He was prepared for every disaster we had on top of taking the most beautiful shots of our ceremony and reception! I do believe everyone (bridesmaids, mothers, families, groomsmen, everyone) was so impressed with top quality work we witnessed. If you are considering a wedding in the South Jersey or Philly area, there is no question who you should choose as your Photographer!

f the wedding and made sure that I got each and every photo taken that I had requested! The videographer was great too! I absolutely loved our video and would recommend getting a video to all brides! My album was beautiful! I couldn't be happier with the way my album turned out. And our photo booth was included in our package! That photo booth had everyone talking by the end of the night!

it to cocktail hour! His services for Vidrography were perfect and we were able to capture all of our special moments throughout the entire night! Mike and his crew went above and beyond and made our night spectacular! 5 stars isn't enough!! Thank you so much for giving us our perfect wedding night!!!

wedding photographer in the business! He was so unobtrusive and stealthy it was ridiculous! We are all very excited to see the end results of his work, but already know it will be fabulous. Finally a photographer that doesn't ruin weddings!!! alice devlin

e entire day. The professionalism and skill that Michael and his team displayed created a finished product that far exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Michael Chadwick Photography we will never forget just how special our day was!

ger than we originally requested to make sure we got tons of good shots, likely because we couldn't take any outdoor shots. The same night, he sent us a fully edited gorgeous photo of our first dance, which was such a special email tor received at the end of our special day. The turnaround time on the full album was rather quick, in fact quicker than we have been able to send our thank-you notes out. All of the photos were beautifully edited but look completely natural. Thanks for everything!!

im and knew when to back off so you can go and enjoy yourself. He carries around anything you can possibly need , stuff that you forget about which very helpful! His pricing for pictures is reasonable too! I would pick Michael over any other photographer!

e feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera. He posted the photos up on his website extremely quickly. They turned out breathtaking. Book him! You won't regret it!

eone who wears multiple hats for the bride, groom, and their families, we knew he was it. For example, he wears two camera cases, one for his camera, the other has a sewing kit, which he used to sew one of my bridesmaid's dress that did not fit properly, tissues, safety pins, etc. That really shows you that he knows the whole picture of a wedding, and that he is an active part of your special day. Michael and his team were very professional, hardworking, flexible, and genuinely happy to be there for you. The quality creativity and details of his photos are wonderful, and above all, he captured our happiness. We customized our package and added photo albums for us and our parents as well as video. You will not be disappointed. I could not have imagined anyone else capturing our wedding day.

g for the wedding, obsessing over how to write a great review for Michael and his crew of professionals. That by itself should be the enough on how great of an experience working with Michael was. My wife and I were lucky enough to be ahead of the game enough to book Michael for our 12-13-14 wedding date, but time would prove just how lucky this “miserable groom” was. During our first meeting, I felt comfortable, relaxed and was ALMOST looking forward to our engagement session. Not only did Michael help us pick a great location for it, but also made it so relaxed and enjoyable, that following our engagement shoot I was legitimately excited to see the finished product. As expected, they turned out fantastic! In two meetings I had gone from feeling indifferent, and miserable at the idea, to excited to work with a Michael. Our wedding day was nothing short of fantastic; our friends and family are still talking about it how great of an event it was. Michael spent the morning with my wife, and upon his arrival to the church I couldn’t help but hug him in excitement (a photographer!) and from that point on, every moment is captured in brilliant photos and video taken Michael, Sheldon, Bob and Nick. Michael spent time with us from the beginning, getting to know what our goal was for our photos, and as a result so many great moments are caught with genuine joyful expressions, in place of “cheesing”. We lost almost no time during the day posing for pictures and were just able to enjoy the day that took 18 months to plan. The process following the wedding was seamless, Michael’s responses were always quick, and helpful which resulted in an album that serves as a perfect summation of the day, which for us was nothing short of the greatest day of our lives. So take it from me, a groom who was indifferent and miserable at the idea of having his picture taken, who ended up actually loving and looking forward to time spent with Michael and his crew. If Keirstin and I could do it all over again, Michael would be our first phone call and we recommend the same to any couple looking for a professional who works just as hard as you do to make it the most memorable day of your lives.

knew that we had made the right choice! We worked with him last October during our engagement session and we had a blast! We were nervous at first, but he was very corky and upbeat, which helped put us at ease right away! We got married in Philadelphia May 1st and knew right away that he would be a hit with everyone! When he arrived with his team, they had already worked hard to learn the names of our bridal party so they were able to jump right in. They were so professional and fun, which made everyone feel comfortable from the beginning. It was very natural to have them around all day and they got along great with our bridesmaids and groomsmen! Our bridal party still talks about how great their team was and how much fun they had spending the day with them. Michael was accessible at all times during the planning process so he knew exactly what we wanted and made sure that he didn't miss a single picture that was important to us! They did a wonderful job capturing the energy of the wedding without compromising the flow of the day! I worked closely with Michael after wedding to get our album, slideshow and video perfect and he was extremely helpful and patient throughout the whole process. The end result is amazing and we are so proud to share our album with our family and friends! Every guest at the wedding went out of their way to tell us what a great job our photographers did and how special they made the day! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Michael Chadwick team. Their professionalism, style and energy exceeded everyone's expectations and any couple would be lucky to work with them! :)

o helps that he makes up words like "enrapturously" to make you laugh and relax. Between our freezing cold engagement session and our hot as anything wedding Mike was truly put through the ringer for us. He made sure he incorporated some of the ideas we had for pictures but used his skill to get amazingly artistic and beautiful pictures. He caught the most amazing moments from our first look to the ceremony to the amazing dance party of a reception that followed. Everyone has been telling me how incredible they all look. Mike had never been to our venue so came earlier to scope it out and familiarize himself with it before we got there. He also comes prepared with his, as my husband calls it, "batman utility belt" full of everything you could imagine from a sewing kit to Advil. And I must say, for a guy who is 6'7", he is great at fading into the background to catch some of the best candid pictures. I could honestly go on and on. I couldn't have imagined having anyone else there to photograph the best day of my life!

but he carried all of the essentials you might not think about on your wedding day! (bobby pins, safety pins,. etc.) Michael made us feel totally at ease during the 8 hours he spent with us. My husband and I don't usually like to have our pictures taken but he made us feel so comfortable, and everyone in our bridal party felt the same way. He took the perfect mix of traditional posed wedding pictures and candid, fun pictures. We absolutely loved the shots Michael took of our wedding. He and his crew are truly talented. I would highly recommend Michael Chadwick to any bride and groom who are looking for a fun, down to earth, great photographer.

off reviews from strangers. But in the end we are SO happy we did! Our consultation with Mike was in a major snow/ice storm and we drove from Philadelphia to Medford to meet with him. He was so welcoming and personable it was like we knew him for years! We splurged for a package that fit our needs and also included engagement pictures. Mike even gave us a military discount which was so appreciated, as most vendors don't. When it came time for our engagement pictures, Erik and I were a little nervous in front of the camera, but Mike got us laughing and eased our nerves right off the bat. Our pictures were uploaded and emailed to us by that evening, which was great! As for our wedding pictures, I don't know how they could be any more perfect. Mike and his assistant Bob were great, they seem to genuinely love what they do and everyone at the wedding took notice of that. Mike was so patient with my nieces and nephews all day bugging him to see the pictures on the camera, etc. We got our pictures uploaded to online gallery maybe a few days after we made our final payment, which again was much faster than we expected! The quality is amazing, and Mike took all of the pictures we had asked, and even had some creative ones on the fly. Our post ceremony pictures were on the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. Mike even had some change for arcade pictures on the boardwalk, he worked with the wind on the beach almost blowing my veil away, etc. He even made special note to remember everyone in the bridal party's names, and immediate family names, which for our wedding...that was a lot! And I don't think he got one name wrong all day/night! Everyone who has seen the wedding pictures so far absolutely loves them. Even at the reception, I almost forgot Mike and Bob were even there because they did such a great job just getting candid shots off to the side. Michael Chadwick Photography is everything we were looking for and more. If you want someone professional, quick to respond to emails, and 100% in love with their job, then Michael Chadwick is your man! I can only hope that when we start a family and are looking for a photo shoot, Mike will be able to travel down a few hours south to Maryland for us :)

me. He captured so many moments that I missed since I was running around all night, it was great to see. Sheldon was our videographer and WOW what a great video. I've watched it a bunch of times and am SO happy to have splurged for the video (future brides-GET THE VIDEOGRAPHER! I was SO happy to have a video to capture the day that flew by!). The album came out amazing and Michael quickly made the changes I requested and I received it shortly after. We had a super rainy, windy wedding day and when I asked Michael if he had any advice he said "just own it" which was great advice and the pictures really did come out fabulous-you would never think it was such a horrible day outside by the memories he captured. Overall, would 100% recommend to any couple getting married. Thanks Michael & Sheldon!!!!
