chose them to capture our day. Both Michael and Joannie took pictures , so not only do we have beautiful pictures of ourselves but we also have fun action shots, as well as pictures of our guests and our decorations- they really captured our WHOLE day.

communicating via email. It was important to us that we did not do a "first look". Mike and Joannie worked with us and reassured us that it would not be a problem for timing. From the moment they arrived, they made us, as well as our family and friends, feel extremely comfortable. They did a great job with the kids and getting them to smile. I loved that while Mike was shooting straight, Joannie was off to the side taking candid photos. We were lucky enough to get a light painting done in front of the custom bar my dad built. WOW, were we blown away at how great it turned out! A few weeks after the wedding, we received a highlight video that included a small clip of my dad and I walking down the aisle. We chose not to have a videographer and receiving the highlight video is something we will treasure forever! Mike and Joannie are so talented and went above and beyond. I cannot recommend them enough! Book them now, you won't regret it!

nalism -kindness -regular communication -someone who offers ideas and listened to mine -quality photographs So if you want the same, then hire Michael Anderson. I wouldn't have had anyone else take our photos.

y also made sure to capture guests, surroundings and special moments. They captured and froze in time memories that I didn’t even remember happening! I will forever cherish these amazing photos for years to come!

but because everything he does is flawless and beautiful! Mike is an incredibly gifted photographer and knows exactly how to capture the perfect moments that let you re-live that perfect day forever. Michael and Joannie are amazing to work with. They are professional yet lighthearted and fun! They both have great attention to every detail! They make you feel at ease and are great at guiding you and your crew into position for each shot! From our engagement photos straight through to our reception, I knew Mike would exceed expectations! I am in love with how well our light paintings turned out! We cannot thank them enough for all the heart and soul they put into making our day one that will be cherished for a lifetime!

to put the wedding album together. Thank you mike and Joannie.

afterwards. He has professional equipment and a ton of experience - he knows exactly what he's doing, which is awesome to not have to worry about. We got our pictures back super fast, I was amazed. We could not have been happier with our choice in photographer. (And Joannie, Michael's wife & co-photographer on the wedding day, is an absolute ray of sunshine!) I also couldn't believe everything that we got with our package - an amazing deal for such an experienced & professional photographer. I highly recommend Michael as your wedding photographer!

with them right away. Another big selling point for us was that Michael is a full time photographer. Michael and Joannie did not disappoint. They were fun to work with and the pictures turned out amazing.

promptly and brings years of experience to the table, which shows in his photos. In capturing our special day, Michael was patient and took the time to make sure he got the perfect shots. Joannie was especially helpful with making sure every one in the group looked "just right" - body turned at the camera right, head tilts, dresses fanned out, etc. They made a great team!

ise videos were amazing.

, the park road was closed due to high water levels, but he packed up Lightning McQueen and we walked to the falls. The photos were amazing and we are so happy with them.

right choice. They even changed timing of their annual vacation to accommodate our wedding date! Mike was very pleasant and easy to work with. His extensive wedding experience was consistently demonstrated by his thorough planning, timeline and photo suggestions, and most importantly, great final product. Joannie was super helpful on the wedding day as well and captured some great candid shots. We received many compliments on the photos / video shared by Mike through his blog. We’re excited to put together our wedding album in the coming weeks and receive the much-anticipated light painting. We would highly recommend to anyone!

ided us through on our wedding day. The pictures were sent to us in less than 2 weeks from our wedding and they are beautifully captured. Just by going through the photos, we got to re-live the happy wedding day. Thank you, Michael and Joannie!

g photographer. We had both our engagement and wedding photos done by them and they turned out great. We received our wedding photos before we were married for a full week, and they turned out better than I could have imagined. Michael and Joannie were a huge help making sure we stuck to our timeline throughout the day. Huge THANK YOU to Michael and Joannie for being a part of our special day!!

on our wedding photography, there is NOTHING we would have changed. Michael and Joannie are down to earth, so friendly, easy going, and PROFESSIONAL. They both LOVE what they are doing, and we could not have been happier with the final products. We did our engagement photos in the Fall of 2018. Michael had the proofs ready for us to review within 14 days. Our wedding was in April 2019, and we can say the same thing about those photos. Everything is GORGEOUS! The talent these two have is out of this world. We never even realized they were photographing us much of the time. Michael and Joannie are so accomodating. We have large families, and everything went off like clockwork. There is obviously many, many hours of behind the scenes work that Michael does to make everything perfect. We will definitely use his services again. You will never, ever regret a penny spent on using Michael Anderson Photography. We feel like we have made some friends for life!

eing photographed! We are a little bit older, so we've had some experience in life. We were particular about WHO we chose to photograph us. We wanted it to be a seamless experience, and we definitely got that. Michael is very responsive to voice mails, emails, and text messages. We were thrilled to meet his wife Joannie, and see just HOW GREAT they work together. The whole experience was just what we wanted, expected, and needed! Michael and Joannie know what to do, how to do it, and keep things on time. There seemed to be no pressure at all. And turn around time for all of our photos and videos was super fast! I would recommend these photographers for not only engagement/wedding photos, but ANY special occasion! They are great with EVERYONE! So friendly, honest, and just plain GOOD people! We will use them again....FOR SURE!

extremely timely, provided high quality work, listened to what I wanted, had great suggestions and were fun to be around! I look forward to working with them in the future for our family photos!!

show, They did a really good job capturing the fun and frivolity people were employing during said vows. In addition, their candid shots were great, All in all they were very fun to work with and I highly recommend them for any picture taking engagement you may have.

are so personable and friendly. They get just as excited about your big day as you do! We had a very specific theme (50's diner/Back to the 50s) and Michael was ready to highlight all the work we put in to making that theme a reality. He and Joannie even came dressed for the part! We also ran in to the issue of not having much room to get staged photos and it was too cold to do outdoor photos, but he made it all work in a way that eased my stress. He turned the pictures around quickly as well. Its been just over a week since the wedding and we already have our gallery ready and available to make selections for prints and other photo items. They all turned out absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Michael and Joannie!

lanning meetings, and ultimately the big day, they exceeded expectations. They arrived early, stayed late, and added their own truly unique touch with the light painting. You will not regret spending the extra money on the Andersons - in a market absolutely saturated with amateurs they are a can't miss photography team, and well worth the higher price for the more extravagant packages.

are incredible and we can't wait to hang them up in our house! Definitely well worth the price as they are a tier above the rest.

ble to fit us in for a engagement session a couple weeks prior to the wedding a couple hours north of the Twin Cities and had a ton of great locations. We even lucked out with one of our pics having a bald eagle flying in the background! Our light photograph will be cherished forever too. As for the wedding, Michael and Joannie made our day very stress free and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. Fantastic professionals, and better people. Thanks Michael and Joannie!

relaxed on their wedding day. After meeting with Michael we were very impressed with his photos and he made us feel very comfortable. He was very personal and professional. Michael and Joannie far exceeded my expectations. They were both so engaging and professional. The pictures are absolutely breathtaking. I have received so many comments - WOW, WOW AND WOW. Thank you, Michael and Joannie.

wedding pictures done with them. They were very professional and fun to work with. The photos turned out amazing and even went outside in the freezing cold to capture the gorgeous winter photos!! We are so happy with the results and Michael and Joannie were there to capture our special moments!!

he middle of July on a very hot day and on our wedding day there was 5" of snow. Both days he was so upbeat and never made us feel like it was a chore. Joannie was also so amazing to work with on our wedding day. She was so sweet and fun! And, of course, all of our pictures turned out amazing!!

rst look. My dad happened to be in the hallway we got “Dad’s first look” which wasn’t planned at all. For Christmas I was able to frame one of the pictures and give it to him. My dad honestly almost cried because he thought the picture was so beautiful.

aring our brisk October wedding day, to make sure our day was captured perfectly! We are so in love with all of our pictures! Mike and Joannie will definitely be seeing us again in the future!

rty absolutely loved working with Michael and Joannie and they had a lot of fun with it! They worked great with the kids in our wedding party giving them nicknames which thrilled them. We are so thankful we found Michael and Joannie and will be using them for our future photography!

children in our wedding who can be very active at times. Michael and Joannie were wonderful with them and being able to hold their attention. I highly recommend Michael Anderson Photography to anyone in need of some awesome photographs!

photography for many years. We went to the Arboretum and we found gorgeous settings for our wedding party photos. Michael knew exactly how to get amazing portraits even though the was a little rain during our photo shoot. We highly recommend Michael and Joannie!

us through the process so he knew exactly what kind of pictures we wanted. When he and Joannie photographed our wedding, it was raining a little but they were creative and helped us get some fantastic pictures despite the rain in the morning. Also he does this special photography called "light painting" that no other Twin Cities photographer does, so if you want pictures that really look different from the rest of the photographers' around here, he is the man! If you haven't decided on a location yet, ask Michael first for ideas because he's been everywhere. You will NOT be disappointed with your pictures! I highly recommend him!

n out great!!! I wish I could order more pictures from them but do to limited budget, I may only order 1 or 2 wedding photos from them. I highly recommend them!

to calm crying toddlers and to catch their attention so they would smile when he takes the picture. I always adore their works especially their light painting pictures that they have taken for other people and couples in the past. The way they photograph is very unique in color and lightning and that is what I like about them. When I looked at my wedding photos, I was so pleased with the results. I couldn't believe those pictures were mine because they look so gorgeous and beautiful.

res along with how personable they were honestly made our wedding go over the top. The whole night I received compliments on how great they were. If you want the best of the best please take the time to meet Michael and Joannie I promise you will not be let down.

id to keep family moving when we needed to stay on schedule. It was great having them be a part of our wedding day. Absolutely worth hiring

s when we arrived and were so flexible and creative with our unique ideas about pictures at a brewery and the science museum. We could not be happier with how the pictures turned out - we want all of them. Also, the light painting they do at each wedding is unique to them and creates such a cool image. Also, you spend so much time with your photographers on the wedding day, and Michael and Joannie were experts at staying upbeat while keeping us on our time schedule. They are truly the reason our day went as smoothly as it did, and they stayed past when we had paid them for without complaint to make sure we got all the images we wanted of our reception.

ur biggest moments! When it came to planning my own wedding, I knew that I HAD to check to see if they were available - and they were!! The Anderson's truly do an amazing job. Each time we work with them, we are blown away by the fantastic images we receive. I can't thank you both enough for taking pictures that I will treasure for a lifetime!
