Michael Freas Photography

you found the right person! As soon as he pulled up to our venue he saw some flowers which were off to the side and knew immediately he would bring us over to the field where the flowers were. None of our guests even saw the field of flowers, he just has an eye for this stuff and knows how to control a camera phenomenally! We loved working with him!

my planning process, but with no regret! Michael brought the upbeat, creativity to our wedding weekend in Key Largo. He looked for all of the right angles for the shots and made the shots happen! I felt confident in Michael (and his quiet but hilarious assistant, Julio) during every part of our day. He took control when needed and blended into the day seamlessly. He even sent me sneak peak photos the very next day! I will cherish these moments he captured forever. If you're looking for a fun, versatile, and adventurous photographer, Michael is your guy!

ut also is sure to do what he knows is best to get the most beautiful picture. WE LOVE MICHAEL!

ppoint when it came to our photos. We not only got those amazing scenic photos- but he also captured all of the love, fun and the amazing celebration we had that day. Michael felt like he was another fun guest at out wedding. Everyone enjoyed his presence and energy that he brought to the wedding day! We could not recommend him more!

recon the best spots and send us video and did video chats with us to make sure everything was perfect. When we arrived he had a pop up tent and bags to help carry the suit and dress and change out on the trail. He also drove us there and back. We really didn’t have to worry about anything, Michael made sure everything was perfect. We go beautiful digital copies and he sells wonderful print books. We will definitely do a follow up photo shoot with him in the future. We will always remember him and his hard work in capturing our special day.

views of our pictures all said that they were the best wedding pictures they had ever seen. He captured our day perfectly. Would highly recommend Michael to anyone!!

shoot your wedding, I can guarantee that you won’t be as happy as if you had booked Michael. Always helps when he’s an all around great guy that has tremendous talent!

ll car. We had a VERY active wedding traveling to the Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson and he had lots of energy and kept us on schedule. He even ran across the national park to get something we left behind. I'm so thankful for the beautiful, artsy photos I have that I will cherish forever. He perfectly captured our love + the beautiful scenery. Thank you, Michael!

ow us some previous photos and they were significantly better than ALL of the other photographers we contacted. Michael Freas took outstanding photos at our wedding and was 100% worth every penny. He did an amazing job at capturing all of our special moments and perfectly coordinated all of our guests and family for the best shots. Michael Freas is down to earth and easy going. He’s dedicated and passionate about what he does, which is clearly reflected in his photos. A great photographer that really wants to get to know you on a personal level, so that he understands what type of photos you want. Michael really went above and beyond to make sure our photos came out absolutely spectacular, even to the point of yelling to a boat captain to turn his sail boat for an amazing photo (see photo below). If we need a photographer for any future events, we will definitely call him.

old and dog. He led us to some awesome spots and was extremely patient and flexible with us. We had a mix up with our dates and Michael barely batted an eye to accommodate us and get us the wedding shots of our dreams.

him that makes you relax- key for my husband who HATES pictures. I wanted him to be able to relax and have fun during the process and the results def show that. We got so many amazing pictures that really captured the day. Don't hesitate, just hire him if you truly care about having gorgeous pictures!

oughout the planning process so he can help document / portray your wedding story. We got so comfortable with him, we were able to truly relax and just enjoy the moment during our wedding day without being nervous about our pictures being taken. His pictures are outstanding! So many of our guests are telling us these are the best wedding photos they’ve seen. He has such an eye for catching those special moments. We relive our wedding day whenever we look at the pictures he took for us! From it being just me and my husband standing outside at our venue with the most gorgeous sunset in the background, to catching everyone busting a move on the dance floor, he captures the story of the night so well. He was able to document those moments beautifully so we can look at them for forever. That day goes so fast, it’s a whirlwind, Mike being there to document so we can relive those moments is so special. So so so happy Mike was our photographer! Hands down, I would recommend Mike Freas. Mike, thank you so much for everything!! We appreciate you! -Kristin and Sandito Santiago

session, so was very prepared. There was a high chance of rain and when we were supposed to shoot, but Michael reassured us it would all work out, and it did! The rain stopped just before our session time, just like he forecasted. Our photos also came out gorgeous, and he made the experience really fun.

ped us make a new plan, and took the best photos we could have ever asked for!

better photographer.

is seriously dedicated to his craft (and his clients) then he is DEFINITELY your guy. His work is ART. He fits in to the crowd, chatting with each guest to make them all feel comfortable and just like he's part of the day. We spent a year and a half planning and almost a full year of multiple postponements and he was with us every step of the way. When we finally saw each other on the big day, he was just as excited as I was. It's been 2 weeks and we just got our gallery and whew, it's amazing! If you're still considering who to use, stop and book the dude ASAP.

d made the photo shoot very memorable. Neither me, nor my husband enjoy in general posing for photos but Michael made the whole experience super enjoyable and fun. It was actually one of our favourite parts of our wedding day - hanging out around Palm Beach with Michael taking photos. He was also absolutely amazing at finding spots and locations for our wedding photo shoot and did all the research for that. After we shared our wedding photos, we got tons of compliments and many of our friends said these were the best made wedding photos they have seen so far. Michael didn’t just take our pictures but he created a relationship with us and became a friend that was part of the wedding. We would 100% recommend working with Michael!

with every detail planned (it was not that, we got rained on-there was some chaos-it didn't go 'exactly' as planned). His pictures truly got US, taking in the moment we became one- THANKS MICHAEL!

my guests feel totally comfortable with him. He worked his butt off in this Florida heat and his pictures did not disappoint! Our guests absolutely loved and raved about how great and excited he was the whole night. We truly feel like we’ve gained a friend. We will 100% be using Michael in the near future for family photos!

otographer was going to be one of the most important decisions we would make for our wedding. Planning a dream wedding without the fairytale photos is absolutely pointless. Moreover, I knew that I didn’t want the regurgitated typical staged poses that have been the norm for the last century. I wanted someone to capture the moments, the emotions, the art. Michael is not only an amazing photographer, but his work tells the story in the most unobtrusive and artistic way. I stalked Michael’s work having found him on Instagram while looking for a photographer that knew my venue and took the best photos, by the advice of one of my best friends, and bridesmaid, who is also an amazing photographer. She said I needed someone that knew the ins and outs of the venue, the lighting, etc… She was right, but even knowing how important this all was, I was intimidated by the cost. Michael instantly scoffed at my resistance and worked with me to make it happen within my budget. This was only the start. Who would have known, at that time, that COVID-19, was going to be the act of god, that I could never have planned for? Needless to say, three weeks before our wedding we were postponed. Michael not only worked with me to change the date without penalizing me, but also called a couple vendors, along with my amazing planner, to get everyone on board. Michael and I continued to communicate through the entire postponement, becoming friends impassioned by the many politics surrounding the whole pandemic. On the day of, Michael showed up true to form, full of energy. He is like that friend you haven’t seen in years, but you pick right up where you left off like you never missed a day. My husband, normally awkward in photos, instantly felt comfortable with Michael… He was a true guys guy, and my husband actually had fun throughout the entire process! If you are debating at all… stop now, you have found your photographer! Michael, I cannot thank you enough for all you did for us! We may catch up w you for an anniversary shoot in North Carolina!

upfront and honest. Very outgoing and so much fun to be around. He is also a real trooper to stay outside with us for hours is 100 degree heat. We will be forever grateful to him.

his eye for magic and his warm and refreshing personality. I personally hate taking pictures but our wedding day was my one exception. I feel Michael has a supernatural gift for capturing once in a lifetime moments and he keeps it fun, professional and spectacular all the way. He is a genius at what he does and I’m so happy to see someone who is so talented and gifted, using their gifts to bless the world. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕

e get go and took time to get to know us starting day 1. On the day of our event, he made the experience fun, lighthearted, and seamless by going above and beyond to make us feel like the time we had to take pictures was all about having fun, enjoying the day, and sharing some laughter. We've received AMAZING sneak peak pictures already and can not wait to see the rest of his work. If you are looking for an amazing photographer, go with Michael Freas!

really be "us," not cookie-cutter or look like stock photos. After speaking with him we definitely knew we made the right choice. Since we were coming in from out of town Michael offered to meet up with us the day before our wedding and scout the perfect locations for our ceremony and photos in the Key West Garden Club. He was funny and very down to earth, making us feel very comfortable. The day of our wedding he timed our final photos perfect and caught the incredible Key West sunset I had hoped and dreamed would be the backdrop of our portraits. To say we are happy with our photos is an understatement. We absolutely love them!
