About this vendor
Warm | Timeless | Moody | Authentic
Documentary-focused wedding, elopement, and film photographer for the romantic and adventurous. Authentic storytelling with heartfelt moments of timeless and non-traditional love stories. Based in the Midwest of Sioux Falls, SD. Available for travel worldwide.
My primary focus is to photograph all my couples with a balance of very relaxed posing and documentary styled photos. My goal is to let my subjects be themselves as much possible so that their own emotions, their love for one another, and who they are come through in what will be their photos.

Michael is absolutely amazing to work with. He made our day so special and helped keep us present and enjoy every minute. He captured every special moment and more. This definitely won’t be the last time we work with him!
What can I say about Mike besides TOP TIER! I couldn't imagine a more perfect individual to capture our day. I booked him and a 2nd shooter for 10 hours of laughter and fun. Many of our wedding party asked about him the following day stating that they would like to book him for their weddings. I spent days looking for our photographer because the photos of that day meant so much to me. I was extremely picky about who I chose and if I could do it again I'd choose Mike and Vincent.
I know planning can be stressful, do yourself a favor and look no further for a photographer. You won't regret this choice!
We LOVED working with Michael from the planning, to the details, to the end, he was amazing. He knows what he is doing and it shows! Along with that, his kindness and thoughtfulness as he captured our special moments was so beautiful.
Michael was absolutely outstanding - one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was professional but so fun to get to know, and our pictures turned out amazing. He captured so many details and moments that we would have never thought to photograph, and they are now treasured memories! I have had multiple people say that our wedding photos are the most beautiful they've ever seen. Overall, Michael goes above and beyond. He even helped us get a wedding day photo printed so we could have it at our reception 5 hours later! I interviewed many photographers, and he is definitely the one to choose. Don't hesitate: book him if he is available! If you want a look at his amazing work, check him out on Facebook and Instagram. His blog is great too but his social media has more of his variety!
You never realize how integral the wedding photographer is until you're already through the day, and then even more so once you have received the photos of the biggest day of your life. We had a meeting with Michael within a week or two of hiring him where he just took time to get to know us and details of our relationship, like where we met, how long we had been together, our favorite things, etc. Michael uses this time of getting to know you to inspire the very creativity and authenticity he is known for. From the first photo of our engagement session to the last photo of our wedding, Michael made every moment relaxing and fun. Obviously wedding days can be extremely stressful but that's where Michael's expertise shines through in a way few people think of for their wedding day. Michael orchestrated our wedding day with an itinerary a week ahead of time. It made for such an effortless day. Upon receiving our photos, we floored by how incredible they turned out. Truthfully, we expected nothing less from Michael and it's obviously easy to be bias, but even a friend of ours who got to see them said very genuinely "every single one of these looks like it came straight off of Pinterest". The quality reminded of us of why it was such an important decision for us to choose Michael for our wedding day. His professionalism, creativity, perfectionist attitude, attention to detail and desire to immortalize the essence of every moment in a photo on our big day made it worth every penny and receiving the pictures was just a reminder that we made the right decision in choosing Michael.
Michael was the photographer for our wedding May 21, 2016. We chose him because of his attention to detail in all of his prior work. He went WAY above any expectations we could've had for a wedding photographer. He captured every last tiny detail and all the big moments so perfectly! Plus, the photos are unbelievable!!
Michael was awesome to work with. He is super creative, artistic, and professional. Not to mention he is also laid-back, super easy to get along with, and fun go be around. We could not be more pleased and impressed with how our pictures turned out and recommend him to anybody who is engaged and searching for a photographer.
Mike did an amazing job as the photographer of our wedding. He is incredibly thoughtful, genuine, and observant. His photos are incredibly beautiful, artistic, and candid. Professionally speaking, he was very prompt and flexible. I would absolutely recommend him to all my friends, not only as a wedding photographer, but also for all kind of occasions! If we lived closer to Sioux Falls, we would use him for all our photography needs.
