Michael Tallman Photography

He is calm, thoughtful, and professional. We had many changes due to covid and he was flexible, fair, and understanding through those changes. In the lead up to the wedding, he helped us plan the day of and pictures, giving us his honest opinion. We wanted outside pictures in February and he was game. He organized a quick "field trip" after the family portraits to take advantage of a weather window in some amazing scenery. The pictures are unbelievable! We are working with him on our album and are so excited to see how it turns out. Thank you, Michael!

and cannot wait for the remaining because they are amazing! You cannot go wrong by having Michael photograph your wedding!

elighted with the experience. His photos are beautiful and real - he has an ability to capture candid moments in the most genuine way. We HIGHLY recommend him!

d of. I'm inspired to write a review now because we just received our handmade wedding album in the mail from Michael. It is so beautiful. My husband and I poured over it and the wonderful memories just came flooding back. Michael's amazing photographs were showcased so beautifully in the album which is exceptionally well made. We'll treasure it forever! I highly recommend Michael!

e had an calm and focused energy that made it clear that he has so much experience and passion for his job. We had a blast during our engagement photo shoot, during which Michael followed us out into the woods in the middle of a snowstorm, and he quickly delivered to us pictures that captured our personality in a way we'd never imagined possible. I was not the most organized bride, and as our wedding day approached, Michael was incredibly accommodating. He helped us nail down parts of the schedule, worked with our venue, and made sure that he knew what we wanted--even when we weren't sure what that was. On the big day, Michael was a calming presence in a whirlwind. He encouraged us to spend quiet time appreciating moments together, and captured those moment forever. We had thought that being photographed would be one of the more difficult parts of the wedding day, but the few minutes we spent savoring each other's company with Michael's help are some of my favorite memories of the day. Not to mention--he came around when an amatuer photographer was holding me hostage during the cocktail hour and snapped a picture so I could keep mingling! All day, he was nearby, but not intrusive. Especially during the ceremony, Michael is conscientious of what we wanted to have photographed, our experience of the moment, and our guests. He manages to capture the magic of the moment without taking anything away from it. If anything, he adds to it. I could not give a more wholehearted recommendation for Michael Tallman. The photographs he took are alive with the energy and spirit or our colorful and unique wedding. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Michael be a part of our wedding, and will cherish the images he created for the rest of my life.

y the atmosphere of our wedding, and are just as full of magic and life as the day itself. Michael is a pleasure to work with. From the beginning, he was communicative, helpful, and full of ideas. He took care to acquaint himself with us as a couple, and to know what was important to us. The day of our wedding, he was such a wonderful, grounding presence. He’s calm, friendly, and focused, with a great game plan to make sure we got all the shots we wanted, and a wonderful eye for impromptu moments. If you’re getting married, you absolutely should go with Michael.

st time we saw it. There was a bit of hesitation on our part as he was quite a bit more money than what we had budgeted. He was firm on his pricing. I couldn't get his work out of my head so we decided we had to have him as our photographer. He's not just a photographer after all, he's an artist. Our wedding was just a few days ago and though we've only seen a few photo's so far, we knew at the wedding that he was 110% worth his price. Michael works hard. There were many times I didn't notice him at all, but when I did see him, you could tell he was concentrating and thinking about his shots and the lighting and the scene he was about to capture. We had a beautiful, clear night for our wedding. The stars were out. I said to my husband at one point, late, 'wow... it's so amazing out. I wonder if we could ask Michael to get a photo of us under the stars'. I didn't want to ask at that point as he had put in a long day already and really should have been heading out. Next thing I knew, he came up to me and said "I was just checking it out and I think it would be a great night to try and get a starlight photo if you two are up for it." Our party was wrapping up and the final guests were heading out and there we were down in the field taking more amazing shots with Michael. Talk about giving it your all! He is worth every penny and more. Don't think twice about hiring him for your special event.

atively small wedding. Michael focused on what was most important to us -- our loved ones. He also found some great locations that made a rainy, cold wedding day look incredible. Thank you, Michael! You're the best of the best.

r and have had the opportunity to work with many Professional Photographers over the years. I can say without a doubt that Michael is one of the best in his industry and is worth every penny. He has the perfect calm demeanor that you want on your wedding day when everything is so hectic…. He works with the perfect balance of capturing the photos you want but leaving a lot up to his creative flexibly on the day. He captures moments that move him and that reflect the energy of the wedding guests and the couple. He got our pictures back to us so quickly and we have already received so many compliments on the quality of his work! We highly recommend Michael to anyone who values the importance of quality photos on their wedding day.

t mean learn your name; he truly gets to know you. Weddings can be stressful and yet Michael was a relaxing presence. He allowed my wife and I to be goofy and in love. He never once felt like an interruption to our big day. He fits right in, capturing your big moments while allowing intimate moments among the couple, friends and family. His shots capture light, love, and happiness. Michael forever captured one of the happiest moments and days of my life so you can take it from me when I say I would without a doubt recommend Michael as a photographer for your big day. Don't miss out on this guy! He's a class act and an incredible artist.

he captures moments that jump out at you and grab you by the heartstrings. When we first viewed Michael’s portfolio I couldn’t shake the feelings of “Wow, I feel like I was there in those moments!” even though I didn’t have any particular connection to the people in his photographs. He creates the connection. He captures moments that elicit emotion. Michael recently sent us our wedding day photos and we are in love! I’ve never cried so many tears of joy looking at photos while recollecting such a special day. Thank you Michael Tallman for sharing your gift with us. We are honored. With love and gratitude, Matt & Hilary

hat we wanted not only a very talented photographer, but someone who could be flexible with our wedding plans. Mike is truly an amazing, talented photographer who captured the essence of our amazing 3 day wedding adventure. When I look back on the pictures he created, I instantly have amazing memories of that entire experience. In addition, Mike is just a wonderful person, who is laid back, yet knows how to obtain the best pictures in a completely non-intrusive way. I can't say enough good things about Mike and his amazing work!

on to hire him, it seemed like an unnecessary expense that wouldn't add anything to the wedding experience. Now I understand that the beautiful photographs he provided us will preserve and shape our memories of that beautiful weekend for the rest of our lives. He captured so much of the wedding that we otherwise would not have seen. He took great portraits of us, family, and other guests. He also took incredible action shots. We have absolutely no regrets about hiring him for the whole weekend, and we recommend him unreservedly. Thank you, Michael!

have been happier with Michael's work at our wedding and in the lead up process. He was very professional. Did his diligence in getting to know us and what we were looking for and was very concise through out. Did the proper prep work, checking out the venue and asking great questions prior to the wedding. Some of the moments he captured at our wedding and some of his finest pictures will be absolutely priceless for us as we spend the rest of our lives together. Michael is a wonderful technician of his camera as well. He did incredible things with the lighting in the venue, time lapse of dinner, and his work of capturing moments on the the dance party was exceptional. Hopefully we never get married again ;), but if we do, Michael will be there.

tion to detail is impeccable . I cannot say enough praise for Michael and his work! We absolutely love him!
