Michael Shea Photography

Michael was incredible throughout the entire process. We had a challenging venue for photography and the photos and videos came out better than we ever could have imagined. His communication and organization was excellent across all our shoots which made things so seamless. We could not recommend him more!

Michael was awesome! Was great at communication. Came early and came prepared. Worked well with our photographer to make sure our pictures and video both were fantastic. A true professional. The video he made was a true work of art! It was great to relive our whole wedding. We will cherish the memories he was able to capture.

My daughter and son-in-law and I fell in love with Michael from our first video conference. He was a great listener and really captured their special day. He is very detail oriented and helped us capture all the special moments. As the Mother of the Bride, I was impressed by how prepared he was for our bridal portraits and on the wedding day. He captured the fun moments as well as the sentimental ones. He has also been available after the wedding as we order pictures and created a beautiful wedding album for my daughter. I would highly recommend Michael for your special day!

First off let me start by saying how wonderful the experience of working with Michael was. He first met with us via zoom to discuss our plans for our engagement photos and the wedding. Michael had thoroughly provided us with his past experiences and his ability to work around our busy work schedules. When it came to our engagement photoshoot, Michael suggested this quaint little area in Spring, TX that would provide us with an elaborate landscapes and backgrounds for our photoshoot to go from amateur to professional in our eyes. As for the day of our wedding Michael showed up early locked and loaded, ready to shoot. His engagement with not only us (the bride and groom), but the entire wedding party, and all the guests was phenomenal to say the least. Michael placed himself in all sorts of positions (high and low) around the premises to capture the greatest moments of our lives (and made us look like supermodels in the process). We are forever grateful to Michael and his pure enthusiasm he has towards photography and his charisma to give us an incredible experience. We hope that everyone can choose Michael to be there to capture the sweetest moments in your lives as well!

Michael did a wonderful job on our engagement photos, and he was very quick to respond and fun to work with. He had a great suggestion for the location, and when the weather didn't cooperate on our scheduled date he was very flexible and quickly rescheduled us. We're extremely happy with how the photos turned out, and I'm so glad that we worked with Michael to capture them.

You are part of our family now, Michael. If you are looking for a photographer that can work with a tight timeline, still makes you feel great and captures the photos you want then this is the man to go to! I had Michael for my engagement photos and my wedding photos and he keeps leaving me impressed. He listens to his customers, remembers things and does it all while having a smile on his face and making people laugh and have a good time. I have a lot more awesome things to say but I think you should just try him out and you will love your photos! -Yvette

Really great high quality photos. A lot of thought put into staging and arranging everything and everyone. Wish I had had more time for our reception because his pictures of the guests were phenomenal as well.

Michael did an amazing job! Picking out a photographer was a stressful process for me, finding someone that was high quality and affordable, but everything was easy with once I found Michael. I had a list of all of the pictures that I had wanted Michael checked with me throughout the day on that list. There was some photos that during the wedding day I decided I didn’t want to do and others that I decided last minute I did want to do and Michael was really flexible. A couple of days before the wedding I decided add an hour to our package and that was simple too. I had so much fun picking out the photos to keep and to print into a book! I loved how they turned out.

Michael was our photographer from pretty much day one. My mom found him on theknot.com and he had so many good reviews we knew we had to contact him. After the consultation, we knew he would be the man to capture our special day and the moments leading up to it. He is beyond committed to his craft, he got stung by a bee at the start of our engagements, but he kept going in spite of it with a positive and happy attitude. The engagement and bridal pictures were all absolutely beautiful and just a glimpse of what was to come. For our wedding day he captured every single moment with perfection. He was always in the perfect spot to get the most beautiful smile, a few tears of joy, the silliest laugh, the most beautiful angle, the craziest dance moves, and the goofiest air guitar player (my dad). We appreciate the amount of hard work and dedication it took to make every single picture look amazing. Main Point: If you go with Michael Shea, you will definitely be pleased with his work, in fact you may have a tough time picking pictures because they all turned out so amazing. Thank you Michael!

Michael did the videography for our wedding, and my husband and I could not be happier! From the first introduction to the wedding day, it was an absolute pleasure working with Michael. Throughout the whole process we really felt like Michael wanted to get to know us and understand our vision. He also used his experience and creativity to help shape our vision and his guidance resulted in a final product that far exceeded our expectations. On our wedding day, Michael was prompt, professional, and efficient. He made sure to get every shot, but he was respectful of our schedule. He worked seamlessly with our photographer to make everybody got what they needed, and his even keeled and fun personality kept all the shooting enjoyable and stress free. Michael provided us with an experience and a final product that we will cherish for a lifetime, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer who goes above and beyond!

Michael Shea was my mom's wedding photographer and I loved him so much that I hired him as the videographer for my wedding. Michael is incredibly thorough, detail oriented, has an eye for design, and is such a kind person to work with. He makes sure you know how seriously he takes his job and wants you to get the best photos/video possible out of the most special day. The video he made us was incredibly well done. The drone shots were some of my favorites because my venue was so beautiful. He captured the essence of the whole day and used microphones incorporate our wedding vows which was the best part. You can tell he loves what he does and he offers affordable prices that are very hard to beat! If you want a kind, detail-oriented, and a man with an eye for beauty, this is your guy. I couldn't be happier with my wedding video.

Michael is superior. He knows how to perfectly capture your special day. The pictures tell the entire story and we got to relive the day all over again when we got our pictures back. He made us feel so comfortable and he knew exactly how to make our personalities shine through the camera. Michael is simply THE BEST!!!!!

My now husband I were completely blown away with everything. Michael was amazing from start to finish. We had a unique/complex wedding day, and Michael was able to carve out a plan to make our day perfect. He delivered beyond expectations and did it with a smile! Our wedding video came out better than we could've ever imagined! Michael - you're a true master of your craft, a rare artisan... the passion you have is inspiring! If you're looking for the best videographer/photographer in Houston, stop what you're doing, and book Michael now!

Michael was absolutely wonderful to work with! From our first meeting to the wedding day, Michael was responsive, helpful and so kind. Our wedding video turned out so beautiful! Such sweet memories to look back on forever thanks to Michael Shea Photography!!

Michael did a wonderful job on our engagement and wedding photos! He made both experiences really easy and fun. My now husband is not a big fan of having his picture taken but Michael made him feel very comfortable. We had so many guests from our wedding comment on how amazed they were that Michael was everywhere getting shots yet he wasn’t ever in the way and was very professional. After the wedding Michael was very patient and kind when I asked him A LOT of questions while choosing our favorite photos. In the end we now have beautiful photos from our special day, and great memories from working with Michael.

Michael was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was everything we could have wanted and more as photographer for both our engagement shots and our actual wedding. He has a passion for what he does and the eye to get the shots he wants. Communication was clear throughout the process, and he provided much-needed guidance on the wedding day. We absolutely recommend him!

Michael did an EXCELLENT & most BEAUTIFUL job capturing the moments of our reception. Looking at his work the first time I knew I wanted him to do our reception. Michael was fun to work with the day of the event & EVERYONE loved him!! I re-live that night over & over again by looking through the photos he took. Will definitely keep Michael in mind for any future events we will have. Thank you Michael for everything!!

We cannot emphasize enough how impressed we were working with Michael. Not only is he an amazing photographer and skilled at his craft, but he has such a fun easy going personality that alleviates any nerves you may have leading up to and during your big day. My husband and I were in search of a very specific aesthetic and when we found Michael's site using The Knot, we knew we had found our photographer. From our first meeting to even now one month post wedding, Michael has been in communication with us to ensure that not only we were happy with the events leading up to our big day, but that we were satisfied with the final product (which by the way both our wedding photos and wedding footage came out STUNNING!). Again, this is just our own personal testimony working with Michael and his team, but if you find yourself still unsure of whether or not Michael may be the right photographer for your event, take this as a sign to reach out and at least inquire. He truly surpassed all our expectations and we highly recommend his services!

Fantastic artist eye and great communication. Wife and I had a great consultation, clear follow up and precise execution of the wedding photography and videography. For any special event I would definitely recommend and have Michael contracted for future events. Thank you for your impeccable work

He did a BEYOND EXCELLENT job!!! I highly recommend Michael!! He was very attentive, had good communication and was down to earth in telling us what he could do and how we could accomplish our plan. He was the most professional vendor I worked with for my wedding!! He was able to gather and direct people for pictures and seize moments he thought would be picture perfect. He listened to every request I had and gave me feedback on how realistic or difficult each shot was. He’s very quick on his feet! My favorite shots were several he just saw the moment impromptu and quickly arranged us! He communicated with me every step of the way through our planning and the day of, which was really helpful for an overwhelmed bride. We were SO glad we booked him for our wedding!!!

Amazing!! I definitely recommend the photos and video came out beautiful and made me cry when I watched it! Michael is super nice and was awesome!

We chose Michael Shea because of his passion and professionalism, and were so thankful we did! He was kind and energetic, responsible and detailed, and every part of his work was super high quality. We get compliments each time we show someone our photos or video. It was one of the best choices we made, and worth the money. Our memories were so thoughtfully preserved and we can’t wait to enjoy them over and over. Would 1000% recommend him.

I cannot say enough about how amazing Michael is! He is calm, personable, and so talented. He also goes above and beyond the call of duty. My makeup artist’s light stand was broken, and he fixed it for her. Furthermore, our ceremony was outside, and he supplied multiple hand fans to ensure everyone was comfortable. Incredible photographer!!!

Michael is very creative and professional, and does excellent work. My wife and I loved our engagement and wedding photos. He did a great job working through different constraints imposed by our wedding venue to ensure that we got quality photos of the entire ceremony. He is also great at cracking dad jokes, ensuring big smiles in all of your photos. We would definitely recommend him!

My wife and I found Michael and just knew that this is who we wanted taking our photos, we have never taken professional photos before and we knew nothing about photography. The way Michael explained everything to us was very easy to understand and grasp concepts of photography to aid us in deciding what kind of pictures we wanted. Before, during, and after the wedding, he’s been extremely professional and all interactions have been light and fun, no stress at all. Also is great with the guests aswell, photos were ready to view and choose in a very timely manner and stayed updated through the process of everything.

Would highly recommend Michael. We had so many people ask who our photographer was and comment on how great the pictures looked. If you want the best pictures possible to remember your day, choose Michael.

Michael did an amazing job capturing our big day! From talking us through how the day would go and the timeline before hand to capturing all the special moments we had asked for. He also had a quick turn around time for getting our video back to us. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a videographer.

Michael did a wonderful job explaining the packages he offered. He was nice to walk us both through how the photography and videography would go that day with a timeline. The timeline helped us think about how the day should go. Michael was also very patient through the whole process.

To say Michael was an amazing videographer is an understatement!! I feel like I'm a very particular person when it comes to videos, and I spent a long time going through vendors in search of the right feel. Once I found Michael and saw his portfolio, I knew he was the one for our wedding! He crafts his videos in a way that tells the story of your love and wedding in such a beautiful way. On the day of, Michael and his son Isaiah (who is currently training under him) were super professional and friendly. They made our day so fun, and whenever I was starting to feel stressed/cranky, Michael was there to make sure I took a break and even lent me a little handheld fan to cool off from the the heat. My husband and I definitely felt so cared for! Our video came back to us surprisingly quick, and we and our families just love it so much. We could tell that he really listened to our vision (mainly mine lol) and executed it perfectly. We're so happy we have an heirloom that we can look back on and see all the joy and love of our big day. I highly trust and recommend Michael and Isaiah for your videography needs!!

Michael did such a fantastic job from our engagement photos, to my bridals, and of course our wedding day! I was so impressed with how he captured moments at each. He gives great instruction and makes you feel so comfortable. We are thrilled we chose him for our big day!

Our original photographer cancelled 9 days before our wedding, our wedding planner knew and trusted Michael and reached out right away, thankfully he was available. Not only did Michael make sure to have a sit down conversation with us to make us feel comfortable, he made sure our vision for a night time ceremony happened. The lighting was perfect and he got every shot we asked for + more. This is a man who genuinely loves what he does and it shows not only through his photos but the way he conducts his business. I can't thank him enough!

Michael captured our day spectacularly!! We love continuing to share our day with others through both our images AND our incredible video!! One of the best things that we received in our package with Michael was our lay flat album. Not only did he take incredible photos, but the layout he put together is stunning! Everyone is always blown away when we show them our lay flat album! While I thought I wanted light and airy, Michael showed me a clean and modern edit which brought out all of the details from my dress! He is talented and able to edit in so many ways. He can truly do your day justice!!

Michael is the best photographer ever! He is easy going, hilarious, punctual, and just everything you would want in a photographer. He really made our wedding day extra special and he did such an outstanding job of capturing beautiful memories that we can look back on and cherish forever!! He has a way of making you feel comfortable and truly makes every shoot a fun and awesome experience! We never take good photos as we feel we are not photogenic, but Michael did the impossible and shot photos that we never thought we were capable of producing. Not to mention, he captured photos during the wedding when we didn't even know he was around. He is so great at what he does! Our guests mentioned how they loved him and that he did a phenomenal job and we 100% agree and would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Michael Shea made all of our wedding video dreams come true. If you are looking for a photographer and or a videographer look no further! Working with Michael and him understanding our vision was so easy. He really knows how to make it all come to life and make you feel as if you are reliving your special day over and over again! I can not recommend him enough for your wedding. I got to know Michael over the years as he has done two of my family members weddings as well. Not one of our videos was the same in the best way but all so special and unique to our day and us as a couple. Our Wedding was one of the best days of our lives however it felt like a blur until we received our video from Michael. My husband and I both had tears and emotion rush back after seeing all what our video entailed. It has been a few months now since our day and we still watch our video every single day and can’t help but smile. Thank you for all of your work and bringing us so much joy for many years to come! We definitely recommend Michael for your wedding day!!

Michael photographed our engagement and wedding pictures. We were very impressed with him when we first talked to him over the phone it was as if we’ve been knowing him our whole life. My husband and I do not like to be photographed but Michael did an amazing job capturing candid moments that we both loved. He was very patient and well organized through out the wedding day making sure he didn’t miss a moment. We definitely recommend Michael for your wedding photos!

Michael did the photo and video for our wedding. We were very impressed with him and his portfolio immediately when we met. He did our engagement pics first, and they are so beautiful! Even in the blur of our wedding day, he got some amazing pictures for us to remember. The video though, came out even better than we could have imagined, and is our favorite part! We definitely recommend Michael for your wedding day.

Mother of the Groom here. COVID cancelled the original wedding and our original photograhper disappeared with our total payment, so I was hestitant when we hired Micheal but he is WONDERFUL. I highly recommend trusting him with your wedding memories. Micheal went above and beyond and the photos are gorgeous. You can tell that he enjoys his job and is a true photographer (artist) not just a guy with a nice camera. I would book him again without hesitation!

Michael is absolutely amazing! After 2 years, postponed wedding due to COVID he was beyond accommodating. Michael treated us like family and to the rest of the guests as well. He cares, listens and captures even the smallest, most precious moments you wouldn't expect. From our engagements, rehursal to our wedding he was there for it all over the past 2 years. We ate beyond blessed!

Michael did an amazing job capturing pictures of our wedding. He was so helpful when it came to planning the shots we wanted and was so insightful. Our day would not have gone so smoothly without him. We have so many wonderful pictures to look back on now and remember our favorite day. Thank you so much Michael!!

Michael was our photographer for engagement, bridals, and wedding photos. He was awesome to work with! He gave plenty of tips while taking the pictures on different poses. When I smile I tend to tuck my chin and he was constantly reminding me to stick my chin out, haha! I appreciated that for sure! He also did videography at our wedding and our video turned out so great, he captured just enough of every little moment in the video edit. He was also very quick to get the photos and videos back to us, literally within days of each photo session. Thank you Michael for capturing our special moments to enjoy for a lifetime to come :)

Hire Michael! You won’t regret it! His talent and eye for those tiny details that make your images is impressive! My husband and I loved every image he took on our wedding day and for our engagement photos. We had so many compliments the evening of our wedding on his professionalism and work.

I love my wedding photos! He did an amazing job. So glad we booked him.

Michael was amazing! He made us feel very comfortable and is very personable which helps make photos so much more fun and enjoyable! He is very creative and will make sure you get the photos you want. Also he is very good with angles- just need to add that in there! He knows how to shoot! Would highly recommend to any of my friends.

Michael is amazing!! He was extremely professional and kind throughout the entire process. He did a lot of extra kind things for us. He brought a cute hanger for my dress photos, stayed late when the timeline wasn't what we had planned, went above and beyond to get the photos we wanted, sent us a really nice gift box with a hard drive of our photos and even a few beautifully printed ones. On top of all that, the photos look great! Michael was able to capture the character of us, the families, and the bridal party well. We highly recommend Michael!

Michael was our photographer for engagement photos and wedding. Michael did a fantastic job, making sure to never miss capturing a special moment. Michael is very knowledgeable about what poses looked the best. We could not have asked for a more professional and helpful photographer. ALL of our photos taken by Michael, we loved! I would recommend Michael Shea Photography to anyone who wants amazing engagement and wedding photos, you won’t be disappointed. 5 Stars for sure!
