Michael Board Photography

ked for and more! We would definitely recommend them to our friends and family! Thanks guys!

s to give you the best product out there, and he completely succeeds. He is easy to get along with, and isn't overly dramatic like some photographers can be. He also listens to what you want as well. He comes into a session with the first question being, "What do you guys want?" This made for a great experience, not feeling like we were being completely herded to get the shots that he wants. Would totally recommend Michael to anyone out there looking for a photographer!

be on the same page to be able to remember this special day for many years to come. We incorporated dogs into our ceremony and Michael was able to capture that moment for us as well.

after our wedding. You should definitely use them for your wedding!

so much fun. He also goes beyond taking photos: he would help me fix my hair to ensure it looked good for the photo, he would orchestrate our families and wedding party allowing the photos to flow much more smoothly, and he even fixed my eyelashes for me. All of his roles can not be overestimated. My husband and I truly enjoyed our time with him and could not be happier with the way our photos turned out. I would highly recommend using him if you are considering it. I would absolutely do the same again tomorrow. Thank you so much Michael!

antastic collection for photos that captures our story and wedding. Michael was very patient with us and was completely understanding of all the things we were asking for. My husband probably drove him crazy with all the emails but he was very understanding. We truly enjoyed working with him. He was very straightforward and you can tell he had vision in what he was looking to achieve in his photos. Thank you again Michael and Jennifer for coming along on our ride through out the wedding process.

mely happy with all the photos we got from him!!

to process, which is not an easy thing to do. From the moment I met with Michael I knew I made a great choice. I love how he uses the natural lighting of wherever you are and is open to working with any ideas you have. He really helped capture the happiness and fun of our big day! We will definitely be coming back to him in the future for any of our photography needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great photographer!

d poisoning and reschedule! He was willing to listen to all the requests I made, even the most trivial details I had were important to him. I would highly recommend Michael Board if you would like a variety of photos done well.

s I put into our day. I've already recommended him to people I know who are currently in the wedding planning process!

l- highly pleased with everything! Michael and his wife Jennifer are such nice people who make you feel comfortable in front of the camera while having fun at the same time. We get tons of compliments on our photos! I would recommend Michael Board photography for value and quality!

ns. He had a lot of experience and it shows in his great portfolio that he let us preview when we first met. His experience really showed on the day of the wedding; he knew exactly what we wanted and was very good about getting everyone organized and getting the best shots. We have already received all of our photos and they are unbelievable! Definitely 5 stars and highly recommended!

read the rest of this review. We selected Michael after having met him. Just like you, we used theknot.com to find our vendors. I reached out and scheduled a meeting with him to meet with my (now) wife and I. Yes, this is a groom writing this review. We could not have been more impressed from the start. He brought pictures of his work, his work that has been published, and gave us a rundown of our day would go. He was knowledgeable, professional and above all ready and excited. He was the first vendor we booked and proved to be a great resource for many of our questions, even if they were off topic. To us Michael was more than just our photographer. He was a guide and an orchestrater for us on our wedding day. He helped to tell us where to go, where to be and what to do. He was more like a friend that happened to be very very very great at taking pictures, which is an absolute understatement. There are tons of photographers out there. Plain and simple. I am telling you though, there are not many, if any, that can match the quality of the photographs with the quality of the person. Michael is just that. In closing, I must say that my words cannot even come close to explaining how happy we are with him. I encourage you to meet with him, book him, and experience that for yourself.

with our pictures and allowed for us to be natural and totally ourselves! Not a single picture looks posed or unnatural, and the attention to space and light is just perfection. I may have a few items left to check off my list for our wedding in October, but I am completely confident that the pictures will be just as breathtaking. I can't wait to see what's to come!!

Michael directed us through the whole thing. I made a Pinterest board of pictures I wanted him to take during my ceremony and reception, and he actually printed off the list and brought it around with us when taking pictures to make sure I got everything I wanted. He was very kind and professional. And his product is GORGEOUS!

erent moments throughout the night. When I started planning my wedding, I knew we had to have him too! He made everything about our wedding day so easy and calm. He just has that kind of demeanor about him! He got all the shots we wanted and more. My husband and I BOTH cried looking at the photos because he captured so much emotion in his pictures. Michael also photographed my bridal portraits which I also love. As soon as I got to the location and got my dress on, my eyelash started coming off! Michael, with his calm and collected self, glued my eyelash back on by melting a glue stick and using a Bobby pin to apply the glue. The eyelash stayed the rest of the night. My husband and I have already said we will be using Michael for photos from here on out!

, and laid back to work with. The pictures from our sessions were lovely and we have gotten so many compliments on them. We loved how open he was for our funny Friday the 13th Jason photo and how he caught one of our special requested Gazebo shots.

earching for a good and affordable wedding photographer who would fit our laid back style... and he fit the bill perfectly. We met Michael and Jennifer at the bridal showcase in Charlotte and turned around to book him about five minutes after walking away from his booth. His photos are beautiful, and more importantly, he was easygoing and wonderful to get along with. Our engagements turned out so amazing that we thought they couldn't be topped... and boy were we wrong. The day of our wedding was muddy and rainy, but you can't tell from any of our photos. He kept us laughing and at ease throughout the entire day. The best part about Michael is that he captures the real moments. You won't see anything staged or cheesy with him. My husband and I are so thrilled to have worked with him, and we have recommended him to countless people looking for a photographer. We are so thankful to have met Michael and Jennifer, and we are so excited about the memories he captured that will last us a lifetime! ABSOLUTELY the best money we spent on the entire wedding!

w had happened until we received our pictures. I highly recommend him. You will NOT be disappointed! I know that when we are in need of a photographer in the future he will be the first person we call on.

nts. She is in love with the final result and I managed to enjoy myself. Michael goes about his business in a professional manner that doesn't intrude on the moment. He's in the mix, grabbing the important shots, but he was never in the way. There was never an awkward moment, and no "do something silly" photo shoots (but if you're into that I'm sure he'd happily oblige). Michael is the kind of guy that can talk sports, enjoys the outdoors, and just happens to wields a mean camera. In summary, my wife had 12 bridesmaids - they all loved him. I had 12 groomsmen - they all loved him. Hats off Mr. Board. Hats off.

ve my picture taken! His pictures of the reception captured many things that we either forgot, or were unable to fully appreciate on the hectic wedding day. The best by far was the butter picture which I not have as my computer wallpaper. I just wish we could have taken Michael with us on the honeymoon so we could have had even more awesome pictures!

ecommend to anyone!

made everything easy for us, from our engagement pictures, to my bridals, to the day of. He took the stress off of us and allowed us to enjoy the process and each other. His wife joined him to help with pictures on the day of and they both were so amazing, patient, and helpful. I have so many wonderful pictures that capture the memories of that day and for that I am grateful. Michael also took pictures for my mothers wedding and as usual, they were amazing! I recommend all my friends and family to use Michael to capture beautiful moments. Thank you guys for everything and I wish y'all the best of luck in the future!

s extremely easy to communicate with from our first conversation until the day of our wedding. Our engagement session went smoother than imaginable, even with my 100 lb German Sheperd being there. Michael genuinely cared about making sure he captured the type of pictures that we wanted. He made it hard on us to pick a picture for our save the dates, we loved so many of them! Him and Jennifer's professionalism and experience made the day of our wedding a breeze! They were absolutely phenomenal! They both had great recommendations as far as day of timing went. When we looked through our wedding pictures for the first time we did nothing but laugh and felt like we were reliving the day! I have already recommended him to friends of mine that aren't even engaged yet. :) We can't thank them both enough for the amazing pictures they took and the memories they've allowed us to relive...all that we will forever!

e!

from our first meeting. He is a professional, experienced and organized photographer that makes the stressful wedding day much more relaxed and enjoyable. He was able to truly capture the love and excitement of our wedding day. We couldn’t have made a better decision to choose Michael, and we would recommend him to any future bride and groom!

moment and more with his incredible skills! Without him, I would have missed special memories made at my wedding. Not only is he incredible to work with, accommodating, and timely in his communication and editing, but he was great at suggesting shots, poses, and taking care of everything we couldn't think of. Our wedding was on New Year's Eve and had no problem giving us his night to make sure we had a photographer at our event. Hands down, Michael Board is one of best photographers I have ever known and worked with and you will regret working with anyone else.

Michael at the Bridal Show we just knew he was the best choice and we were not disappointed. We will always recommend Michael to anyone needing and wanting the best photos! Thanks Michael! Chris and Christal Padgett

o work with. He was very prompt on our wedding day getting there early to get the layout he would be working with, as well as meeting the Wedding Party & Director to insure he would get the right photo's at the right time. The pictures were awesome. They had great clarity and he even had a lot of the shots in black & white which really gave a totally different character to the shots. He was always in the background during the wedding and reception and just blended in so you really didn't notice him which made us and our guests never feel like we were in the way of a shot. I admit I was a little skeptical with his lower price than most wedding photographers, but I have to admit I could have paid twice as much and the pictures could not have been any better. I would highly recommend him to anyone because his work is great. As a side note he kept in touch several times along the period of time from booking him till our wedding day making sure he had all the details. That left one less worry for us, all we had to do was show up. Again I would highly recommend Michael Board Photography, you will not be disappointed. Rick & Melinda

e saw Michael Board Photography at a wedding show in Charlotte, we knew he could capture exactly what we wanted and in our budget. Michael was always on time for all of our photo shoots and made us feel comfortable. We had a lot of fun taking pictures... and my fiancé does not like be photographed. Michael and his wife, Jennifer, did an amazing job at our wedding and captured things that I never even saw. I definitely recommend Michael Board Photography to anyone searching for an amazing wedding photographer!

party, allowing friends and family all over the world to feel as though they were right there with us enjoying our special day. His pictures display his one-of-a-kind talent by capturing even the smallest details and hidden moments such as: my little brother (ring bearer) crying as I approached the stage. Michael Board's photography skills are outstanding and the prices cannot be beat. I would recommend Michael Board Photography to anyone!

very comfortable working with Michael and Jennifer. They were very easy going and willing to go above and beyond to get the photos we wanted, which included making a 3 hour drive so we could have our engagement photos taken at Campbell University and taking bridal portraits outside in 90+ degree weather. My husband and I were excited to get our wedding photos back because we realized after the wedding that we really didn't remember much from the day since it went by so fast. We were able to re-live the day through all the wonderful photos and actually see what was going on all throughout the day. We would definitely recommend Michael Board Photography to other couples. They do a wonderful job at a very reasonable price, and are very enjoyable and easy to work with!

e true emotions of your special event. With my wedding day going by as fast as it did, it's nice to be able to look back at the photographs which captured each detail and emotion my groom and I had on our special day. Michael's work allows you to look back and remember exactly what you felt in that moment even with all the hustle and bustle of a wedding day. That's precisely what photographs should do and he has a beautiful way of making that happen. Not only does Michael Board Photography produce excellent work, but he are always there when you need him and he has superb client service skills. He is always able to answer emails and calls promptly and precisely, which makes a bride feel at ease putting such an important task of the wedding day in his hands! He also has great, well priced Photography Packages that meet your every need (I choose the package which included Engagement Shoot, Bridal Shoot and Wedding Day Photography - Excellent option!) I would highly recommend Michael Board Photography to capture your fairy tale as well!

le. My husband is not one who likes having his picture taken, but had a great time during our engagement session and at our wedding. We were very pleased with the pictures from both our engagement and wedding. We got great quality pictures for a fraction of the cost we would have paid elsewhere. I absolutely love our pictures and can't stop looking at them! You can't go wrong with them!

we wanted he worked in but what we loved was his own creative style. I would recommend him in a heartbeat and can't wait to have him take more photographs as our family grows in the future.

ty were just as much, if not more, important to me. Anyone can pick up a camera, but Michael has a very special talent. From day one, ANYTIME I had a question Michael had a response and I usually got it the same day. I received my pictures back quickly and I didn't pay a fortune for them. He was always on time and ready to shoot and never hesitated when asked to do "special" shots. He didn't mind me throwing out ideas at him in the spur of the moment, and because of this I don't have cookie cutter pictures like every other wedding/engagement shoot I see. Mine are unique, mine captured the true essence of who my husband and I are, and my pictures are breathtakingly beautiful. I cannot say enough how grateful I am for such gorgeous pictures, my wedding day is perfectly preserved in photos that I will forever cherish. I also cannot thank Michael enough for being such an amazing person and photographer. Michael, if I had to do it all over again, I would still choose you for my big day! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

with personality, which helped keep a calm rhythm throughout our big day. He arrived right on time, and ensured that we had taken all the photos we wanted before leaving. We also loved that he brought his wife who was shooting photos throughout the night from different angles. This was especially great for capturing the ceremony itself. All of our family photos turned out crystal clear and well lit; he was even able to make everyone look natural which is no easy task! After the ceremony, we headed outside and he got some amazing photos of the bridal party posing at various places in uptown Charlotte. We could not be more happy with the experience we had and we HIGHLY recommend him for any event.

fe Jennifer came with him to shoot a second viewpoint. She was so helpful to me all day! The photos turned out beautifully. They captured the essence of the day perfectly!

was very down to earth! I would definitely recommend him!

ideas for photos and never seemed pushy. He knows a lot about his craft and where to be to get the best shots for the most important moments of the night. To be quite honest , during the reception you almost don't notice that he's there but after getting all of the pictures back it's amazing how many shots he got. You truly get to relive the moments that you missed. The engagement session was great as well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He's a great person on top of being great at what he does.

one!

hy shows in every picture he takes. We got to know each other through an engagement photo session where he really took the time to learn our style and what type of photos we envisioned for the day-of. On the wedding day he was punctual and organized, which was one less thing I had to worry about. Using Michael was one of the best decisions we made, and I highly recommend using him for your big day. You won’t regret it!

s and texts right away. He made me feel at ease on my wedding day and had some awesome ideas for different pictures. When we recieved our pictures we were amazed at all the great shots he had gotten. He literally captured every moment of our day. We are so thankful for the memories that he has given us. We would highly recommend him to anyone!
