f/8 Studios by Michael Farmer Photography

we changed our appointment time at the last minute) and instantly knew that he was the photographer for us! And he and his team did not disappoint! My husband and I are not usually comfortable being in front of the camera but Michael and his team made us feel so at ease on our wedding day! As soon as I arrived at the venue, 2 hours prior to the ceremony, Michael and his team had already arrived early and were already taking detail shots! They jumped right in and got some awesome pictures prior to the ceremony! We gave him a shot list for our family portraits prior to the wedding day and he was able to get through them in record time! Besides just being a great guy to be around his skill at photography is unparalleled! We also really enjoyed working with his team (we picked the package with the 2nd photographer and videographer). We have only gotten our preview shots back so far but they make us so excited to see the rest of the pictures! His prices are completely reasonable for what you get and I could not recommend him more! We hope to use him in the future!

m to be at my wedding celebrations to capture all our special moments and little did I know that Michael would in fact be such a big part of my wedding anniversary celebrations in California! He was the only person I could think of for our event. Michael truly makes everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera and that is what I really loved about working with him! He makes the whole experience so fun and enjoyable and you end up having a really great time. He captures moments so beautifully with his photos and videography skills and you’re left with such wonderful memories to look back at. I would most definitely recommend Michael for any event, occasion or party - big or small!!

eived a huge discount for using Studio M, booking his wife’s company as our wedding coordinator, and a military discount!

and Chelsea! We are both not necessarily comfortable in front of the camera and Michael and Chelsea made it so fun. Michael makes sure to crack jokes the whole time and it honestly just feels like you're hanging out with your friends. They are so professional, and from my mom's first correspondence with him she knew she made the right choice. They were also super punctual (as in...at the venue before we were haha) which is so important on your big day! It's the last thing you want to be worrying about! We also got the gif booth which is a must - our guests had so much fun with it. We haven't gotten all of our photos but the pictures we've seen are INCREDIBLE and we can't wait to see the rest! I cannot recommend Michael and his team enough. I wish we were getting married in the states genuinely so we could hang out with them again! Highly recommended!!

t back to me within a day and we set an appointment to meet him. Michael was booked for our wedding day but told us that some team members from Studio M (his team) were available. My husband and I were welcomed into their beautiful home, where we looked at pictures, gathered pricing, etc. When we got into the car my husband said that was the one! I emailed them claiming our date before we even pulled out of their block. I had to reschedule engagement photos a few times and it was all done with ease. The pictures came out AMAZING. Then a few months later it was all about the wedding. The team showed up early and got to work. They made my whole family comfortable, they got all the shots we wanted, and they were so helpful to me as the bride. They made us laugh, they made sure I didn't have lipstick on my teeth! When the night ended I was so sad to see them go, as we had just made some awesome new friends. I was religiously checking my email for pictures, then came the sneak peeks and I screamed with delight they were BEAUTIFUL! Then the email came that everything was ready to be viewed. We went to Michael's house, had wine and looked at his top 100, which then became my top 100. I will forever use Michael Farmer Photography in the future. Because they have now become family. Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts! I can't wait to frame these pictures for my house! Love, The Del Grandes

them are exceptionally long! Their service is worth two or three times more than their price! I actually regretted finding them too late, as we could have also used their wedding coordination service as well but already have made a contract with other wedding coordinator when we contacted them. They are not only five star professionals in terms of their services, but do understand what the wedding process involves and how stressful it can be. And plus, they’re a really good example of a happily married couple, so it’s good for any soon-to-be-weds to visit their homes and make a deal ;). We were so honored to have them make lasting photos and a video of our day, and our family on both sides liked our them a lot. They are kind, generous, hard-working, sweet, and great! We thoroughly enjoyed how involved they were in our wedding process, and how they were disarming and warm on the day of our wedding. Looking for the wedding photographer is hard, but they deserve more than five stars and we highly recommend them! And our big thanks again for Michael and Marni for their wonderful work on the day of our wedding!

mples of his videos. We didn't want some 30 minute long wedding video that we would watch once and realize it was too long. We asked Michael if he would do a highlight video of like 5 minutes long and he showed us examples of his work and we couldn't wait to work with him! He was so funny every time we met him (his wife was our wedding coordinator) and he kept us cracking up on our wedding day. The turnaround on the video was about 3 weeks, which was very quick! Michael showed us the video and we loved it! He condensed about 8 hours of video into a 5 minute highlight video. The video was half the ceremony and half the reception. He did a really good job and we loved how it turned out!

lk, easy going, and entertaining. He was able to put as ease, relax, and enjoy our shoots. Last but certainly not least, his photos come out amazing! We loved every click of that shutter. It feels as he though he was able to capture each moment perfectly. He was a joy to work with and we will definitely use him for any of our future photography needs.

e absolutely loved his charisma and charm and knew that we did not want to spend a good majority of our wedding day with anyone other than Michael Farmer. His witty jokes and snappy sense of humor made us so comfortable and enjoy the whole picture taking process. We love Michael and his team (including his adorable wife). The photo revealing party he throws for you is a ball as you get to view all of your wedding pictures in his cozy casa with a glass of wine. Plus he was so timely! I got the email to schedule to see all of the pictures way quicker than I would have ever imagined. My husband put it best "Michael knows how to capture photos at the exact moment so you look like your real life beauty ." I have never seen such beautiful photos and I will cherish them forever.

elcoming our Wedding stress was dissolved! They worked with us on every detail including an amazing price while they were reassuring us, answering questions, showing us their exquisite work, making us laugh and feel completely comfortable! On our Wedding Day Michael and Marni weren't just our Wedding Photographers-they were welcomed friends who we were truly happy to see! Because of their kind and caring hearts this amazing relationship and feeling of confidence is created-then they put every ounce of their incredible gifts, talents and heart into creating the absolute perfect Wedding Pictures for you that will make your Wedding Day last forever! Thank you so much Michael and Marni we will never forget you and always be grateful! Love Wendy & William McCarthy XOXOXOXO

with little he had. Our wedding photos came out amazing! So many diverse and beautiful photos came out, it's difficult to decide which ones to print out. He also made this non-photogenic guy look good. Michael also took our engagement photos around the Venice and Abbot Kinney area and they came out awesome as well. (He knows all the good spots there) My wife and I can't thank Michael enough for capturing all the precious moments during the happiest day of our lives. For reference, I will gladly share some of the photos Michael took upon request.

hey were awesome. We are so happy with the quality and service we got. Michael is very flexible and easy to work with. He is funny, honest, creative and kind person. We also got our music video and video was awesome except for the music and all we had to do was let him know and he was willing to change the music for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michael Farmer Photography for a special day.

They are not just exceptional photographers but exceptional people. From the minute we met them to the last shot of the wedding the experience with them was both warm and wonderful. Now my husband and I are not big picture people but once we saw the incredible shots they took of our special day we were both blown away!!!!! We would highly recommend these guys for any event you need photographed. They are truly exceptional!!!

ent and wedding. My pictures came out incredible! My engagement shoot was in DTLA and Aaron's pictures blew us away. He incorporated every single idea I had and knocked it out the park, seriously. Best engagement pictures ever. Then the wedding. These guys were on it! All my details were captured and the pictures are fantastic. I felt so comfortable with them and it was comforting to know they had our best interest in mind at all times. The turnaround time for our images was so quick! The best part about booking them was my experience. My fiance and I felt very comfortable meeting Michael at his home studio and shortly after we met Aaron through Skype. We first met Aaron at our engagement shoot, with his brother as his assistant photographer, and I felt we instantly got along. He made the entire process so easy and even days leading up to the wedding he would check up on me. He was able to help me pick a spot for our wedding pictures, I felt comfortable enough to leave it up to him after I gave him some idea. He picked Elysian Park and we got our most iconic shot from there. We were treated like family, that alone says A LOT! I know there a lot of skilled photographers out there and we all know how important it is to find experts that you feel comfortable with. I get it. But I can honestly say that I felt like Aaron was a part of my wedding "inner circle", the people I can count on no matter what. Thank you guys for everything, I can't wait to continue working with them in the future.

o idea on what to ask or what to expected of a photographer for our wedding. When we met Michael, he was very easy going he made us feel welcome at his home. We left his house with a quote thinking we’ll keep the door open to see what other photographers had to offer. After comparing other photographers to what Michael had to offer. It was a no brainer, Michael was the man for the job. From the start he made us feel very comfortable. We went on to take our engagement shoot where we got the opportunity to get to know Farmer and he was actually interested in getting to know us as well. Not only is he an amazing photographer but an amazing person at heart. Going through hiccups in the wedding process Michael always had the best advice on how to handle other situations that had nothing to do with photography. On the big day Michael, Chelsey and Ron made sure to go the extra mile to ensure our day would go by perfect. Capturing every moment, Michael and his crew were always there to keep us calm and collective. Our family and friends also complimented us on having the best photographer ever. Very outgoing and interactive with everyone in attendance. We are very fortunate to have met Farmer, his wife Marni and the little ones and can’t leave out the furry friends. We would highly recommend Michael Farmer Photography to everyone for any kind of photography not just wedding photos. Thank you Michael for becoming an good friend to both of us, we look forward to having many more photoshoots. Next time we can skip the ocean and its waves. Best, Julian & Viviana

nitely recommend him to anyone looking for breath taking photos. Not only is he funny but he's artistic and patient! He's the best! Highly recommended!

Aaron, who we worked with was more than just great with the camera. He made us feel calm and comfortable from the engagement pictures to the wedding day. Having someone who makes you feel relaxed during all the wedding craziness, especially as the bride, was invaluable! We can't recommend Michael Farmer Photography and the whole team more!!

tos came out beautiful! Michael, Marni , and team are very friendly, professional, experienced, and always willing to answer questions. We definitely recommend Michael Farmer Photography!

g or event.

chael for both our engagement photo session as well as our wedding and on both occasions he took the time to listen to our ideas and went above and beyond to not only deliver, but exceed our expectations. His craft is amazing and our pictures our gorgeous. I am truly so thankful to have met Michael and I look forward to working with him to capture any and all of our future milestones.

a seasoned photographer and also knows all the best spots for great shots! So if you're unsure about where to take your photos, just ask him and leave the rest up to him. Michael Farmer was great during our wedding session. We had a small wedding and it was an early ceremony. He showed up early to get pictures of brides preps! We are more than happy to have picked him as our wedding photographer! I highly recommend whoever wants a great friendly,professional photographer, and have a fun, stress-free and amazing experience.

r our wedding. What an amazing experience! He not only showed up earlier, but he went above and beyond to capture all the moments in our wedding. The day of our wedding, I was so busy and last minute things happened and I wasn't expecting any of them! But Michael Farmer made sure with all that chaos, he could capture the best quality pictures. Michael has the artistic ability to see and capture the moment Ina split second. He photographs you, the moment, the lighting and the whole mood and ambiance. he does it such that when you look back, a movie plays in your head! He's extremely friendly and funny making sure that you can be yourself in your pictures. I looked at my pictures and I could not believe how much better he made us look! About his assistant Ron, I want to congratulate Michael for knowing who to work with as an assistant. I was amazed at the quality of work that Ron could deliver and only an experienced photographer such as Michael recognizes another great one! Michael is really quick at getting back to you whether it's regarding an email correspondence, an emergency call, or the turn around time for getting your pictures ready. Michael gave us what we wanted for our wedding, a small, cozy, yet romantic feeling! Thank you Michael!! I highly highly recommend him!

experienced demeanor helped with the flow of the entire event. Not to mention, the photos were breathtaking and I'm very picky! "Pick a good photographer and don't skimp" was the best advice I got and it paid off.

ary or typical about Michael's work or his generosity as your vendor. He graciously and fairly split his time between our tiny quaint private ceremony and our cocktail reception two-weeks later. He got a great array of traditional, wacky, and truly glamorous shots that you'll enjoy sharing and be proud of for years. We were actually able to display some ceremony-day photos at the reception thanks to his willingness to expedite and what a treat! Not only did the reception guests see them, but he got to enjoy some serious and well-deserved bragging rights. He also captured an epic group shot of the entire reception party and we happily printed copies and sent them along with our thank you cards. And our last minute addition of a photo-booth made the party even more fun because Michael kindly worked with us to incorporate the custom full-size cut-outs we had created of ourselves - people got shots of themselves with the "bride and groom" while we were off dancing the night away. Guests still talk about it and say they really appreciated the fun memento. His easy humor will make your groom comfortable, and he'll charm everyone and get shots that will keep your princess-dreams alive every time you see the photos. And don't hesitate to invest in the digital negatives; its so nice to have the flash drives, and know that Michael will always honor the agreement and make sure those memories are accessible no matter what. Do not hesitate; forego the silly swag that no one cares about - make the investment in wedding day memories that you'll brag about forever. Book Michael, and prepare to look fabulous!

reative shots for us. When we got the photos from him it was obvious we made the right choice with him. He was also so funny and kind all throughout the wedding, and very professional. We didn't have any stress when it came to the photos because he did a great job and we felt confident in him. We're really happy with him and highly recommend him to everyone! He went above and beyond in everything he did for us! (This review is by Stephanie G, not Rosty G.)

r!! They took the time to understand what we wanted and delivered beautifully. They were so available and attentive before and after the wedding shoots! We gave them a list of every shot we wanted during the wedding and they made sure to get it! Marni helped us choreograph our wedding dance…one of the biggest hits of the night and one of my favorite moments of my wedding. They are so good under pressure. When the zipper on my dress snapped, Michael was the calming voice in the midst of panic. They made everyone at the wedding comfortable and made the picture taking experience fun! Our one recommendation is that if you want candid pictures of your guests, you have to make sure to put that on your list of “day-of shots”

e to personalize our wedding package. I love that they are a 1 stop shop. It was fantastic that they were our photographers, videographers and photo booth. Nobody was in the way or in "the shot". Michael Farmer Photography went above and beyond our expectations. Michael was even going to serve us dinner because the staff had failed to serve us and all of our guests were already eating. We even had multiple guests approach us and compliment the photographers. They were efficient and never wasted time or felt intrusive. Michael Farmer Photography was well coordinated, fun and professional. They made it feel so natural and never awkward. We couldn't have imagined it going any better. 110% worth it! Everything turned out beautiful! Would do it all over again, thanks to this amazing team of visionaries.

all the photos we wanted for our special day. Everyone was very happy to have him there and by the end of the day it was almost like he was one of our guests! When we received the finished photos from him, they looked simply *amazing*. I've been showing them to people all day. His photos are unique, artistic, and add something very special to the shots. He knows what he is doing. My wife and I didn't want "regular" wedding photos. When Michael offered to work with us, we knew we would get the special product we desired to commemorate our wedding day. While other photographers' photos just seem like "prom" photos, Michael's photos go above and beyond and really captured the special magic of our romance and our wedding day. We appreciate everything he did for us and are thrilled to recommend him to others!!! 5 stars all around.

ng our wedding, a lot of our guests commented how fantastic the photographer (and his team) was, as they barely noticed everyone during the day. It was apparent to us Michael was able to deliver impeccable photos, while being absolutely pleasant and respectful of the craft of what photography is all about! Thank you Michael Farmer for being part of our big day and more importantly listening to us and the vision we had for representing us. Emma and Tyler

ful and one of a kind. I would describe their photographs as timeless, capturing true emotion, & personality, all while having fun. Michael and his team made it easy for us to relax in front of the camera and were awesome to work with. We have awesome photos from our engagement shoot and wedding day thanks to Michael and his team!! We have only recommended Michael Farmer Photography to our family & friends and will continue to do so! Thanks Michael, Marni, & team!!!

we received, he captured our wedding beautifully. Best of all it was like having an old friend around during our wedding day. He was extremely professional and went beyond just the typical photographer role. We couldn't be happier with Michael and his team and would highly recommend him to anyone. His work speaks for itself, but aside from amazing, magazine worthy photos he was just so great to have around, which is so important because the photography crew is with you all day and it's important to have someone around that makes you feel comfortable. We will definitely be using Michael for all our future photography needs and look forward to working with him and his team again. He really is the best ever! Thanks, Michael for all the lovely images that we will cherish for a lifetime !

g party somehow all made it after a late night, and the photographer Mr. Michael Farmer was exceptional. Not only is he an awesome photographer but he was extremely professional, nice, authentic, rad, and "ninja-like." Along with his videographer and assistant they exceeded our expectations. I'm honored to have not only had him as our photographer but also to call him a friend.

re was no question whom I would use for my wedding. I knew I would be getting a man who was very talented and a strong believer in matrimony. What I did not honestly expect was how serious and professional he was. I was amazed at his diligence and passion for getting exactly the right pictures and the amount of time he devotes to his customers. At the wedding itself I was blown away. He showed up with a small army. It was literally a battalion of the nicest and most talented artists I have ever met. You could not help but feel like a celebrity on the red carpet at the Academy Awards. The final product was amazing. Within hours of the wedding he sent us a video preview that looked like it came from a Hollywood studio. The album exceeded our dreams. Every picture was a work of art. As important of a day as your wedding is, it is just one day. the video and photos you will have for the rest of your lives and your children's lives. If there is one thing you must get right it is your photographer and you wont find a better one than Michael Farmer.

y to your desires. From him you get exactly what you asked for and everything you dreamt of. Before the wedding he is just a phone call away and ready to meet your needs. During the wedding he makes you feel like a stat on the red carpet. His beautiful photographs capture the magic of your special day. He is an artist, a professional, a magician and a values friend. With so much to worry about on your special day why not use the photographer that you know you can fully rely on?

his photo packages were so refreshing within the madness that is the "Industrial Wedding Complex." Shopping for these personalized, important, expensive services can be tough and connecting with Michael was a huge relief. We were so happy to have found him on The Knot. We particularly loved his business model of pairing us up with photographers whose work resonated to us. It was a one stop shop with lots of options, personalized service and always classy taste. Tailoring the packages to our exact needs and preferences was a big bonus. The Industrial Wedding Complex often presents you with set Packages A ($$@#!), B ($$$$) or C ($$$), but Michael Farmer Photography allowed us to basically paid for what we truly valued. By the way, we are a gay couple and felt totally welcomed and embraced. In these crazy times, that is not something we took for granted. In fact, it was something we always looked for and were sensitive about. Happy Wedding!

close attention to detail. All while they make you laugh in the process, which makes for lovely joyous moments to be captured on camera. For our wedding we had Michael and Chelsea and they were just as amazing! Very helpful and are a pro about small deetz like how to properly pin a boutennire. They were such sweethearts and thoughtful and are behind you every step of the way to assist with any minor detail possible. There is so much to say but check out the website, you won't be disappointed. Michael Farmer Photography team is hands down the BEST PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER EVER! In fact, we saw a glamour photo shop at the mall today and I immediately thought: "Nope. Any photos we need for any event in our lifetime we will only go to Michael Farmer." PS: things were hectic when the day began for the wedding, including a mishap with the limo service on our way to the bridal suite to get ready. But the moment Michael Farmer team arrived, the atmosphere became fun, lighter and simply enchanting with their fun sense of humor and energy.

i came across michael farmer and saw their work i had a gut feeling that i found our photographer. All i can say is i was right! michael and marni( and the team) are simply amazing. the first time we meet them we knew they were going to be our photographers. EVERYTHING i mean everything turned out amazing. from our engagement pictures to our wedding day they really were amazing. I would recommend them to everyone, i cannot wait to use them in the future!

My wife found Michael Farmer on The Knot and we set up an appointment to meet with him. From the moment we met him and his wife Marni, we knew they were the ones for us. They both made us feel so welcome and comfortable during that initial meeting. My mind was put to ease after we decided to go with him as our photographer. His pictures are amazing and his personality is even better. Michael and Marni make you feel like they've known you forever. I can't even begin to describe how amazingly perfect our engagement and wedding photos are. Michael went above and beyond the day of our wedding. He even helped bustle my dress when two of our bridesmaids couldn't get it to stay. He is so much fun and his humor and laughter definitely put me at ease the day of our wedding. I am forever grateful that we found him and his wife. We have found our forever photographer. Can't wait for the next time we need to use them! To say that we are happy with our photos is an understatement. We are so in love with them!

s pictures. It's pure art. I knew when I met him that I loved him!! We knew when we saw our engagement pictures that they were something special but oh my..... When we saw our wedding photos..... Breathtaking!! We are so incredibly thrilled that we decided to choose Michael Farmer Photography. We will forever look back at our photos and be so very grateful for what the team has done for us! All of the talent aside, Michael and his wife Marni have become friends to us for sure! They have made us feel so very comfortable in every way. We have found a lifetime photographer as well as friend. I definitely recommend Michael Farmer Photography! You absolutely will not be disappointed!

wedding and he really came through for us. He and his team arrived early for getting ready photos, Marni came just for fun, we're pretty sure they had a drone, Michael made sure we were well fed and hydrated the whole day and he even took a selfie with us. Aside from Michael being an amazing photographer and giving us a sneak peak within hours of our wedding, he was also so much fun to be around. It was really important for us to hire a photographer who would make us feel comfortable during our most stressful and intimate monents. Michael was like part of the wedding party. We can't thank Michael Farmer Photography enough but we will certainly recommend him to EVERYONE!!!

hotographer for any special event or important moment. His photography is amazing and I am so happy with the way our wedding photos and video came out. Thank you again Michael Farmer Photography!

k is amazing and everything looks natural and we are soo happy!

to go. Michael’s humor and Marni’s amazing help at posing helped us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot. And our pictures came out amazing! I was expecting our wedding day pictures to be just as awesome – but MFP out did themselves! I want to frame every single picture they took. I really hate to call them a “vendor” - it’s more like having your most fun group of friends shoot your wedding! We’ve had so many of our friends/family members ask us about MFP and I have no doubt we’ll be seeing them soon :) P.S. They have the BEST photo booth ever! Not just a backdrop but an actual “lets squish in” booth! And as with our pictures – our Thank You cards came out beautifully!
