Michael was so incredibly nice and easy to work with! He has a great sense of timeline and was able to capture every image we ever could have wanted or dreamed of from family photo...
s, to pics with our dog, detailed shots, and of course the sought after Arizona sunset photos! The edits came out fantastic and everything was so efficient from receiving our digital files to the flash drive to our amazing photo book! Even our guests commented on how well he worked and how he seemed to be everywhere to capture everything. He had a great knowledge of the venue and was able to get us in the perfect spots for every picture. Even with our small wedding it doesn’t feel like any pictures are repetitive. Michael really is the perfect person to capture your images!!
Michael was a fantastic photographer for our small ceremony this summer. He was on time, very professional, easy to communicate with, and we loved the photos! I also felt like he t...

at were special and we will be able to cherish forever. He was very prompt about getting the photos back to us after the wedding as well. He is very personable and easy to talk too. I will continue to use Michael in the future and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that is in need of a photographer.
We loved working with Michael for our wedding in April 2017. He made everything easy, kept a calm demeanor, and was helpful during the wedding day. Most importantly, he took gorgeo...
us photos. Michael has reasonable pricing without any products or services that we didn't want. He finished the photo editing within 48 hours of the wedding, and we had the DVD within a week. We were so proud to show off the beautiful pictures he took, so soon after the event. We would recommend Michael to anyone and everyone.
Michael was awesome. Very professional and easy to work with. He is a fordable and takes incredible pictures. He stayed an extra half hour to accommodate a change in our timeline a...

My husband and I have worked with Michael several times before and knew we needed him to do our wedding photos. He is very professional and reliable. We have always been impresse...
d with his work and our wedding was no different. The photos turned out amazing and we will continue to use and refer him to others.
Michael took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. He did an excellent job! We love the fact that he takes a lot of candid photos because we are quite a goofy couple a...
nd have a crazy family, so we knew there would be some awesome moments at our wedding. Michael captured all of these silly moments and also the really special ones like our first dance and my dance with my dad. We could not have chosen a better photographer for our big day (and also for our engagement photos, which turned out AMAZING). I will always recommend Michael to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. My husband and I also plan on using him again in the future when our family grows a little bit! If that doesn't say something about how great Michael is and how incredible his work is, then I'm not sure what does! Bottom line: you will not regret hiring him.
Michael photographed our wedding just a few weeks ago. We did a first look as well as the traditional set of photos. Michael did a phenomenal job! My husband and I chose Michael to...
photograph our wedding because we liked what a good job he did of capturing the candid emotion on people's faces. He did not disappoint. We look back at our amazing photos of that day and are instantly reminded of the insane level of joy and happiness we felt. Thank you, Michael, for capturing our day so perfectly.
Michael was the photographer at my wedding! The photos I received are better than I could have ever expected! Michael took time to get to know my husband and I before the wedding w...
hich made taking pictures more comfortable! He got so many great shots at the reception without people even noticing he was around. All of Michael's photos really told a story and captured our wedding day perfectly!
My husband and I picked Michael to be our photographer at our wedding at Saguaro Buttes, we loved all his pictures online.
The day of our wedding, we were very disappointed...We a...
sked him to take a couple of photos that we wanted and he brushed them off claiming we could do them later if we really wanted too. During the bridal party photos, he did not ask who needed to be in pictures and what pictures we wanted.
We felt that he was not really interested in what we wanted photographed and we did not feel like he was not into photographing our moment. If felt like a robot going through the motions.
We are very sad and disappointed with our photos we can not go back and relive this day. We don't have many photos to show from our special day.
Michael Chansley Photography is amazing! Michael was our wedding photographer in Tucson this past February at Saguaro Buttes and we couldn’t be happier with how things turned ou...
t! Everyone keeps telling us how awesome the photos are! We found Michael online and went based on reviews of others and our personal meeting with him. Our entire experience with him has been fantastic!
Michael was my wedding photographer last year at the Tucson Museum of Art. He was professional in every way. Quick to return emails and to answer my questions. Very easy to deal...
with as we were on the same page and he knew exactly what we wanted. Our photos were posted online during our honeymoon and we had our images when we returned. I feel like we didn't pay enough for quality service like this. His rates are really affordable and we were lucky to find him
He is amazing to work with, great price, quality work. Hire him! You won't regret it :)
Michael was our photographer for our engagement photo shoot as well as for our wedding. I was really impressed with the ideas that he came up with for our photos. He did a wonderfu...
l job of listening to my husband and me and then personalizing the photos so that they matched our personality. Michael did a WONDERFUl job with all of our photos and we were both really impressed.
Michael is also extremely quick to respond when I had any questions or concerns. As a bride, I appreciate this since planning for the big day is so stressful. am so happy we had Michael Chansley capture our special day!
We were very pleased with Michael's performance. He was easy to work with, he never made us feel uncomfortable and he was never in the way during the event. The quality of his imag...
es were TOP NOTCH! He was able to roll with flow with candid shots and he helped guide us through the professional set ups as well. We highly recommend Michael for any events: personal or professional. You won't be disappointed :)
Michael was fantastic for our engagement session and I was so happy with the number of pictures taken and how they all turned out, so I was ecstatically looking forward to the pict...
ures from the wedding day. Unfortunately I'm disappointed. For one thing he hired a 2nd photographer to help him out up through the ceremony, but this guy clearly didn't know what he was doing. He took shots of my groom getting ready using a wide angle lens, this produced a multitude of shots that make my 6'3" groom look 4 feet tall and it will take me a while to fix in photoshop. The 2nd photographer also did nothing while we did formal portraits so I feel like there were lots of missed shots of activity going on around the actual portraits. Also he missed a lot of detail shots, luckily guests at my wedding took pictures to make up for this and I'm getting them from them. He missed several key events and people during the reception. He also didn't listen when we told him he needed a ladder for some shots. I gave him a list of the photos I wanted but only got a handful of them. I would just recommend that you give him lots of very direct advice and make sure that you get the pictures you want since I trusted him to use his best judgement but apparently he just wasn't paying attention to what was going on or what I asked for.
Update: First of all Michael Chansley wrote to me demanding that I change my review to 5 stars which I thought was rather rude, nothing I'm writing is unfair or untrue. Also after looking at the time stamps on the photos I realized that he was half an hour late to arrive and start photographing. As for his comments below: the ladder he mentions as being dangerous, I work in construction and on ladders all the time, they're perfectly safe and we offered to provide a stout construction ladder but he refused it. I have now put together our wedding photo album, it was hard to do since the best picture of my hair had the table of hairspray and supplies directly behind it and every picture of the Groom's mother wasn't of her smiling. I don't understand why you didn't take more than one shot of each family portrait, if their are 10 people in the picture shouldn't you take 2 or 3 pictures just to make sure you're covered? There were also multiple instances of where he was standing right next to me, I pointed at something and said please take a picture of that and he didn't do it. You also didn't take any pictures of Scott and Dan dancing together during the dollar dance or of the inside of the Gelato cart. Instead I have a lovely picture of the two people working the gelato cart, I don't know them and really didn't need a shot of them. Don't you take pictures of a cake at a wedding, the gelato was our cake and you missed it. The list of photos was only long because I included example photos of other wedding photos taken at a stadium since Michael had never done sports photography before and they took up a lot of space, I only had 24 photo requests that wouldn't fall under a standard wedding's list of photos. I'm sorry if 24 unique shots was too much to ask for and have be accomplished. Michael also wasn't clear about when he was setting up for a shot and when he started actually photographing, there are photos that are off just because he didn't give any warning that he was done testing the lighting and finally taking the real photo. I loved my wedding, but am disappointed with the photos, I'm not being a b****, just honest
Michael was amazing at my wedding! He was patient with my family, flexible, professional, and people barely noticed he was there. Even those who did commented on what a nice guy he...
was. We got married on a Thursday and we has our CD of photos in our mailbox the following Monday! But most of all, the pictures are beautiful. He captured the day so honestly and every time I look at them I relive my wedding day. He is way more affordable than most big name photographers in town, but by no means is he any less professional or talented. I'm so glad I hired him!
Michael shot our November 6, 2010 wedding and we are ABSOLUTELY pleased with his work! Michael is easy going and stayed calm even while organizing many formal family group shots. H...
is degree is in photo journalism which is one of the reasons we chose him.. I knew he would be great at the formal shots but also get all those candid fun shots too! THANK YOU MICHAEL! We will definately be calling you for other family events and portraits!
I was so excited when I found Michael online I immediately called and asked if he was available. We booked and he did an awesome job at our wedding! The photos looked even better...
than the ones on his website and we couldn't be more pleased!
