About this vendor

Through photography, my job is to tell stories. Storytelling is a critical part of my work, and I view the art of photography as a narrative and my approach is to create the idea of a painting instead of a photograph. The result is imagery that is exciting, dramatic, and evocative.

We are indeed very fortunate to have chosen Michael Lee Photography for our wedding. His website is a great introduction. He is a third generation photographer, and we loved his ph...

ilosophy. A quote from him we repeated often in the days leading up to the wedding, "If love is in the room, nothing else matters." We submitted a request through the website, and he got in touch quickly. We had a wonderful conversation, which gave us complete confidence to enter into a contract with him. Before our special day, we had a virtual meeting to go over the shot list, and he asked all kinds of great questions. On the day of our wedding, he was early, and ready for us when we were. He is great at communicating with you, keeping it light, and getting great expressions. He worked wonderfully with the caterers to prepare the scenes inside the venue. He was always kind and professional. Working through the shot list, he learned everyone's names, and kept the posing and taking of photos fun and relaxed. We received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful Mike was. Then we got our photos! At first he would text us teasers, and they were all amazing. Then before too long, we received a link to our own website with all of the photos, and then received a USB drive with all of our shots. We're very excited to receive prints. I cannot recommend Michael Lee Photography enough.

When searching for a wedding photographer I found the biggest problem was finding one who would allow us to hire them for the short amount of time we wanted. Most wouldn't do anyth...

ing less than a 4 hr. wedding package and I knew we only wanted 2-3 hrs. When I found Mike Lee, not only did I think his work was stunning, but he was more than happy to do the job for whatever time we needed. We thought we would need 2 hrs. and we ended up needing 3, but I was happy to pay the price because he was willing to be exactly the photographer we needed and not try to fit us into someone else's idea of a "wedding package". The weather was cold and damp, but Mike came prepared to take the outdoor pictures without complaint. He was friendly and worked easily with the large group of family members we had assembled, including some younger children and a couple of babies. The pictures turned out beautifully and I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for a photographer who will cater to your specific needs and wants.

Michael took all the pictures we wanted and then some and you didn't even know he was there. I would tell every bride looking for a photographer to use him!

Michael is a very fun photographer. He's great to work with. He has a modern style and a good eye. He's very quick to respond to emails with concerns or changes. He was flexible in...

changing his package to meet our budget constraints, and made us all feel at ease. If there are specific pictures you want, make sure to write a list, and bring it with you the day of the event. Time goes by so quickly, and even if you think you will remember everything, you won't. There are some pictures I wish I got, but I didn't mention or have written down, my fault. The turn around time is great, we had our pictures less than 3 weeks after our wedding. We get a hi-res CD with the images and rights to print on our own, which is great!

Michael Lee is great. He takes a ton of pictures in a very unobtrusive way. All of my friends and family loved him and the pictures turned out great.
