Mike was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely professional and made me and my husband feel comfortable and have fun in front of the camera. His communication was extraordinary and his responses were prompt. It helped elevate a lot of the stress that comes with choosing wedding vendors. He got all the shots that I wanted plus some amazing ones I never would have thought of. The fact that he has the experience helped create beautiful shots that helped capture our wedding day. We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We are so happy with our decision to hire Mike and he will definitely be the one I turn to for any other milestone that I want to capture beautifully in time. I can't recommend him enough! I wanted to share some beautiful pictures from my day but the Knot won't upload them. You can see his amazing work on his website. Our Boylston Rooms wedding is featured there 😊
We could not be happier with Michael and Linda! From our first meeting to our engagement pictures and our wedding! They made the whole experience easy!! People are still raving about our engagement pictures! They make you feel so comfortable, and make the whole experience easy! They snuck around at our wedding and were able to capture the feeling of the night! Couldn't be happier, and will be using them again for our photography needs!!!
Michael was very fun, professional, and did a great job on not only our wedding photography but the photo edits as well. He is very easy going and the entire wedding group - family, friends, and guests - enjoyed them.
Michael was such a joy to work with and Linda is such a Sweetheart!! They really understand what brides are looking for in their wedding photos and do everything they can to make sure that you get what you want! Michael is extremely patient and does not rush anyone, unlike most photographers, they don't not get pushy when time is an issue. Michael loves to have a good time, and it shows in his photographs. Everyone always seems so happy and has such a great time with him! He makes you feel very comfortable and is very professional. Photography is a passion of Michael's, not a job. So when he photographs, He makes sure that everything is done perfectly, because he enjoys it, and because he wants is clients to enjoy the experience. Michael took our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and we can't say enough good things about his work! We had such a hard time choosing pictures because he did such a good job with all of them!!! We will definitly continue to go to Michael for all of our photographs in the future!!!
Your search for a photographer should stop here, especially for a winter wedding in NYC! Our wedding was on a zero degree day in the city and Michael was able to pull off the most amazing sparkler shot out in the middle of 6th avenue in about 30 seconds. I don't even remember feeling cold.
We found Michael Paul after a long search. We loved his work so much that we wanted to book him to photograph our engagement pictures and our wedding on the spot! His incredible ability to make us feel connected to these brides & grooms that we didn't even know had us hooked. The way he captures the feelings and emotions of a couple's big day is beautiful, it really shines through. We knew he would be the perfect person to document our most important day.
We did a 5-hour engagement session with Michael (which happened to also be the first time we met) in the early fall. We were blown away by the results! He was so sweet & so incredibly easy to work with that we instantly loosened up and were at ease in front of the camera. We were able to be ourselves, which we knew would be great on the day of our wedding. Not only did he take beautiful pictures, but we also had fun!
After seeing how wonderful our engagement pictures turned out, we couldn't wait to see the actual wedding photos. And when we saw them, Michael had once again blown...us....away. He's incredibly talented, a joy to work with, and he'll capture your big day with a depth and beauty that you can't imagine....and you'll have a blast!
Michael is absolutely fantastic. I am a Type A personality living and working in Boston and was leery based on horror stories I had read online!
He was so amazingly AMAZING. I did not even know that he was there either at the Church and/or the Venue. He was respectful during the preparation at the hotel for both the groom and I. He is extremely unobtrusive. He captures the best of everything!! His photos were fantastic!! He delivers a quality product. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL LADIES!! Trust me you will not be disappointed. Linda his wife is extremely responsive throughout the process of 1 year! I assure in the years to come he will not come cheap, so get in while you can and visit his website..www.michaelpaulphoto.com. BTW, I am not related to him, just want to help fellow brides out who need one less thing to be worried about. I found him on WeddingWire and so blessed that I did!
I plan to use him in the future--looking for any excuse--baby, housewarming, etc. My husband loves his work as well!!
Good luck with your wedding and take it from me --what a wonderful photographer!!
I knew that I needed to find a photographer that not only had experience in the wedding industry but also a zest for it. Of course, Michael's passion is photography but after reading his blog and website, I knew that he had a different fire for weddings. What I loved most about his images is that they weren't "traditional". He does action shots like I've never seen before. He has a way of capturing moments that are priceless.
Linda and Michael are very timely and professional. It was easy to book our date, which I changed on him a couple times, and he answered all my questions and assured me that I would be 100% satisfied with his final product.
Michael & Linda are very easy to work with, They understood everything that we wanted on my big day. Definetely would recommend him for another event.
Brian and I could sing praises to Michael Paul Photo all day long. Michael and his "assistant" (:-)) Linda first met us in February 2012- in a snow storm, they came to CT to meet with us!! We had only met with 2 other photographers and felt most comfortable with Michael and his team. We had booked the package with the engagement photos and wedding album included. Michael and Linda travelled to Portland ME to shoot our engagement photos. It was a perfect day in May!! We just LOVED all of the pictures. He's like an artist with the camera, every one was more amazing than the next. On our wedding day, he had a second photographer- Lisa. Michael and Linda came to my mom's and Lisa went to photograph Brian and family pre-wedding. During both ceremony and reception you would never even know they were there. Both Michael and Lisa were in every important spot that we were, without even being noticed. He had told us at the very beginning that he would stay as long as needed to capture every picture, and he sure did. We couldn't believe it!!! We can't wait to see all of the pictures that were taken during our special day, and we're confidant they are everything we expected and more. We HIGHLY recommend Michael Paul Photo without hesitation.
When planning our wedding, finding a photographer was the most challenging vendor search we conducted; both my husband and I are artists and are usually the "photographers" at gatherings so the idea that we wouldn't be the ones controlling the camera was a hard one to accept from a stylistic point of view. That said, we wanted someone who we wouldn't just trust to capture our day like we would, but someone who would do it BETTER.
After a frustrating search, a co-worker suggested Michael Paul to me, and looking through their work my husband and I were immediately hooked. Meeting with Linda & Michael was fantastic and they both shared our style and feel for what we were going for. All of their communication and scheduling was easy and professional from day one, and the enthusiasm was contagious as they zipped around capturing our day! He got so many fantastic shots we didn't know where to start looking once we received our photos. They perfectly captured the personality of our big day. Thank you so much, Linda & Michael!
I want to thank Linda & Michael from the bottom of my heart for such an amazing job they have done not only with the wedding, but with our engagement pictures as well. I've never had such a great experience with a business such as theirs, not only on a professional level, but a personal one as well. You both welcomed us and got to know us, which made us feel so much more comfortable and at ease. They have taken the business relationship to the next level, giving us so much more than what we had expected and we absolutely LOVED it! Even the small photo box filled with goodies was so sweet and thoughtful, and boy did we definitely need a break from all the craziness surrounding the wedding! It was perfect!
And Michael - I can't thank him enough for helping me throughout the wedding with the little things, like how to hold my dress up while walking, getting myself into the car without drowning in my dress, and even tips on how to cut the cake - and being able to calm my mother down every step of the way! Oh, and the best part - He could get Nick to genuinely smile for the camera, He was able to complete my wedding and help make things go so smoothly!
And I haven't even gotten to the fact that your talents as a photographer go above and beyond anything that I could have ever imagined (and I haven't even seen the wedding pictures yet - but the engagement pictures were perfect!) We are so happy we were able to find a photography team like Linda & Michael! And there will be times in the future, with having kids and such, that no matter where we end up living, there will always be a time when we can visit our family back in Connecticut, and make sure we contact these guys for more pictures :-)
The photos are one of the most important things about a wedding, and the personality of your photographer has to be compatible with yours. The people at Michael Paul are so friendly and service oriented. Any question I had was promptly answered and they were more than willing to work with me on any special ideas I had. They were so easy going and flexible. Not to mention, e photos are absolutely gorgeous. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.
When my then fiancé now wife told me what she wanted to spend on a photographer I almost dropped my beer! I couldn't understand what could make somebody want to spend that much money, (keep in mind I am cheap, whatever digital camera someone might have would have been fine) so she showed me their web site and read me some of their reviews, I was impressed but definitely still skeptical so I agreed to go meet with them. They agreed to meet us close to where we were living in central mass about an hour drive from them. Upon meeting Michael and Linda I realized why they had received such great reviews. They showed me their work and ran through the entire process for me, from what all of the option were to how things were going to work, including the engagement photos. They even agreed to go up to Maine in December to shoot our engagement photos in Kennebunkport! After that weekend I knew we had received a fantastic deal not to mention great new friends! The engagement photos were fantastic and they were fantastic throughout the entire process, keeping in touch and checking in to see if there was anything we needed! Leading up to and on the wedding day they managed to exceed everything they had already done! I would not just recommend them to everybody I would say it should be required!
We found Michael Paul through TheKnot.com and we are very happy we did. Michael was incredibly helpful from the moment we met. He and his wife came up with a great idea for our engagement photos and we spent an awesome day in NYC taking a ton of awesome pictures. I am not usually on the receiving side of a camera lens and Michael was very adept at helping me be at ease in front of the lens. The pictures came out so good I am almost sorry I am asked him not to display them in his online portfolio because I am shy. We had a blast and we got hundreds of great photos. I was thrilled with all of Michael's help at our wedding and we were amazed that he managed cover the whole reception with ease. We got all the pictures we wanted right after the ceremony and we even had time to spend at the cocktail hour. I got tons of compliments from our guests about Michael (even our priest commented on his professionalism and respect in the church). For group shots Michael openly offered to take pics with the guests' cameras too so everyone could be in the shots. Michael has a lot of reasonable packages to chose from, and the prices are a lot less than other photographers who also give you digital copies of all the photos taken. The best part is our digital copies do not have a watermark and we have the right to print out photos to our hearts content. Also if we want professional quality prints Michael has that option available too. The wait for the photos might be longer than some photographers who let you see proofs right away, but the wait is worth it because after 4-6 weeks you get the final product in hand instead of being teased with thumbnails and waiting forever for the final prints. I have recommended Michael to a few Brides-to-be already. Michael and Linda put a lot of attention into the little details that helped make our wedding day a success.
An EASY 5 stars all around! Michael (with Linda's assistance) did a fantastic job at our wedding. We haven't seen the photos from the wedding yet (other than a couple on the camera LCD), but we also did an engagement shoot, which I also highly recommend. It was more fun that I thought it would be and the pictures came out great. Michael is very low key and relaxed but knows how to take the best shots. He charges a little more than some of the other photographers we looked at but we were not really satisfied with the samples we saw from the other photographers (less than ideal framing, no "life" or depth to the photos, excessively shiny faces etc). Not the case with Michael. If you want to have great photos you can count on, Michael is your guy.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. From the first conversations with Michael Paul and his wife Linda we knew that we had chosen the right photographer. Michael Paul was extraordinary and extremely professional all while making both my husband and I feel relaxed throughout the entire process. Both were accommodating when traveling to Kennebunkport to shoot our engagement pictures and they made each of us feel at ease even though we were camera shy. The pictures came out fantastic and we still have individuals ask us who the photographer is. After the engagement session both Michael Paul and his wife kept in touch on a regular basis continuously asking us if we needed anything at all. They even sent movies and our favorite candy a few weeks before the wedding as a reminder to relax and enjoy the moment. During the wedding we couldn’t have asked for more from a photographer. Michael Paul and his crew showed up early and made everyone feel at ease with his laid back but professional manner. He went above and beyond what we could have ever expected. Family and friends still ask about him. He truly will be not only our photographer but a friend for life.
Michael Paul Photo is the Best decision we made for our engagement shoot he is amazing! His work speaks for it self he is professional,responsible and he gets back to you quick! We wanted him to be our photographer the moment we saw his work and once we met him it was a done deal! He is funny and makes you feel so comfortable even if your a little camera shy! Thank you so much Michael it was wonderful to have you take our engagement photos and we cannot wait to have you shoot our wedding!
If your looking for the best photographer your going to want to choose Michael Paul Photo. He is wonderful to work with and makes those of us not photogenic look like models. His pictures are truly one of a kind and breath taking. Michael took my engagement photos and will be taking my wedding photos May 2013. I highly recommend Michael Paul Photo if you want to have beautiful memories that last.
We absolutely love our engagement pictures from Michael Paul Photography!! Michael has a way with the camera, that truly captures the natural beauty and love between a couple. We had the most amazing day with Michael and Linda, leaving feeling as though we truly gained a friendship. They are the kindest, most sincere, talented people and hands down THE company to hire!!! We can't say enough about how happy we are, having the most beautiful pictures to last a lifetime!!! The best, best, best!!!!
Michael did a wonderful job photographing my wedding in Boston! The photos came out absolutely gorgeous and look so amazing! He was able to take such a wide variety of shots and made them all look great! He was professional, reliable, and was such a pleasure to have at the wedding! On top of it all - his prices are extremely reasonable! I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer!

My husband and I could not be happier with Michael Paul Photography, and how they managed to capture all of the moments I had hoped for at our wedding. Michael truly listened to the look and feel we wanted for our wedding pictures, and he made sure to get every shot in the most natural way. From the fun "getting ready" pics, to all of our family and friends cutting a rug on dance floor, every image just got better. Michael sought out the perfect shots for us throughout the evening, yet made it feel effortless, and did not take away from our wedding experience at all. I so enjoyed out entire experience and hope any upcoming brides or grooms take note. It will be one of the best decisions you could make. Enjoy!
After an extensive search, we decided to use Michael Paul as our photographer, and we couldn't have made a more perfect choice. During both our engagement shoot in Boston and our wedding in Provincetown, Michael made us feel completely at ease and totally taken care of. And then he gave us outstanding photos - gorgeous memories we'll always treasure.
He has an exceptional ability to immediately assess the moment and take the perfect shot. He is able to easily adapt to the changing dynamics of an event and knows instinctively how to best capture the mood and feel of each instant. Every person we've shared our photos with has been so impressed with his talent, and several married friends said they wished they'd had him for their own weddings!
If you are looking for an incredibly talented, professional, warm, and down-to-earth photographer who will completely put you at ease and give you phenomenal photos of your wedding day, you should choose Michael Paul Photo.
We couldn't be happier with the photographs that Michael took of our son's wedding. He captured every special moment in such a magical way. Even with an outdoor wedding on a miserably rainy day the pictures were amazing!
Michael does an superior job. He's extremely professional while being personable and engaging.
Michael did a phenomenal job at our wedding. He captured the beauty and sentiment of the day. His professionalism and passion for his work came through on all our pictures. We could not have been happier with our photos on our wedding day. Our photos are amazing!
Hiring a photographer for a wedding is a key decision...you want someone who is competent, professional and unobtrusive. You also want someone you can connect with and who "gets" the essence and style of the wedding, as well as the uniqueness of the couple. After a meeting in our home (all the others insisted we meet at their studios), the bride and her parents chose Michael Scroggins, and we are thrilled that we did. He captured all the important moments of this early summer wedding with a beautiful mix of color, black and white, informal, formal, still and dynamic shots. The wedding was such a blur, but having so many great photos helps us to relive the day over and over. We recommend him most highly.
Michael is absolutely amazing! If you can afford his photography there really is no reason to look anywhere else. He is so professional, personable and amazingly creative. In a chaotic time, filled with big decisions, Michael Paul was BY FAR the best choice my husband and I made for our wedding. He really goes above and beyond to make sure every moment is captured without you ever even realizing he's there. Michael is truly a pleasure to work with and WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!!
I had interviewed a few photographers and loved his style! He is super talented, professional and can calm any bride down. I truly enjoyed working with him and can't say enough great things about him. Also, my fiance is sort of shy and Michael had a way of just making him at ease. Thanks Michael!
Michael photographed our August 2010 wedding and we couldn't have been happier with him! He was so easy to work with, a total professional, and went above and beyond to help us on our day (he brought our ipod to the DJ when we didn't have time to before the ceremony, and found a plate for us for our cake-cutting!). We were thrilled with the pictures and very happy with his extremely reasonable prices - the way he captured the day was worth every penny. We would recommend him without hesitation!
Michael did our engagement photos--and we can't wait to have him photograph our wedding! He is a creative and very professional photographer. He's also personable and easy to work with. It's not easy to make two brides-to-be look good at the same time! Thanks, Michael!
Michael Paul did an amazing job photographing my wedding. He was attentive and accommodating to all the women in the house. Me, my mother, my two sisters (who were totally cool) and my grandmother, who actually has the whole world under control. He did everything he was asked and captured everything we could have possibly imagined; and some we never thought of. Beautiful images and great quality. I would recommend him to anyone. Michael also did an awesome job with my engagement photos and we can't wait to have him come back and capture the joy of our new arrival. Expected to arrive January 12th.
My husband and I own a flower shop...and have been so fortunate to be apart of so many fantastic, romantic and memorable weddings. As one can imagine when it came time for our own wedding...I was pretty relaxed and knew exactly what I wanted....even though I am florist....and believe that the flowers make the event....I also truly believe that the photographs are the most important part...since you will have them in your posession forever. In saying that....I have seen many different photographer's and with out a doubt Michael & Linda from Michael Paul Photo was the absolute BEST choice. The creativity, the talent, the way that they moved around the event so quietly, the timely manner with getting our photos ready to be viewed and last but not least the obsession for perfection (one of the values that I look at most with being in this crazy business).
My husband and I have been fortunate to work with Michael and Linda on many occasions and we were so honored that not only have they become very good friends of ours but that they would also be apart of our special day...with every moment captured...I look back at the photographs and I am so thankful that they were there to document the start of the rest of our lives.
I would recommend Michael Paul to any bride who does not need anything else to worry about on their wedding day. I was absolutely frantic, anxious, emotional and CRAZY on my wedding day this past August. Micheal Paul was so perfect I didn't even notice him until I went looking, and saw him snapping pictures of my flower girls before the ceremony (the most adorable pictures ever). One of the most important purchases for our wedding was getting great photos, and they came out better than we could have asked. He knows exactly how to get you comfortable and capture that moment you will want to send to everyone you know. High quality and reasonable cost, what else could one ask for.
Photography by Michael Paul was the vendor i choose for my wedding and boy was i happy i did! Not only were they priced in my budget but the quality photos i recieved were unbelievable. Michael is so easy to work with and always willing to listen to concerns or questions which is hard to find these days someone that acutally knows how to listen. Im really in love with the photojournalistic look and Michael really knows how to capture a moment! please check out his website photograhy by michael paul and see for yourself!
My son and my new daughter-in-law were married this past June. Photography was done by Michael Paul Photo and we couldn't be happier with his talent and professionalism. He was kind, curteous and unintrusive during the reception. The photos were beautiful. Each could tell its own story, and the happiness of the day showed through. Now, my son and daughter -in-law have used Michael Paul Photo again for their Baby Bump pictures. And again they are amazing. I highly recommend his services.
I would and have recommended Michael Paul to everyone I know that is getting married. He is very accomidating and down to earth. Michael does wonderful work and he makes sure he takes plenty of shots. I had my engagement photos and my wedding photos done by him and everyone raved about them. After my wedding everyone kept telling me how good my photographer was that ever time they turned around he was there and he got all the important shots. If you want outstanding photos at a good price Michael Paul is the photographer for you!!
Michael Paul was very attentive and accomodating. He has an artful eye and took beautiful pictures that capture our day wonderfully. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with his work. Would absolutely recommend him!
