Michael Yare Photography

d he has several packages to choose from. I handed him a folder at our final meeting before the wedding with an outline and examples of pictures that I was looking for. While it caught him off guard he accepted my type A craziness. Mike and Amanda arrived at the venue on time, with my folder in hand, and got right to work. We already loved Mike. But Amanda... that girl did her thing! She was so sweet. She even helped me into my dress. She knew all of the poses and angles to get the style of pictures that we were looking for. Amanda made me feel like we had been friends forever. I was confident and calm while I worked with her. Both Mike and Amanda had the patience of saints. We had an extremely large bridal party full of strong personalities and if they ever got frustrated, we couldn't tell. They stayed from noon til after midnight to make sure that they did not miss a single moment. Mike also brought another photographer to take photos of our guests and print them on site as favors and personally delivered the photos to each guest. I would totally recommend this option vs a traditional photo booth. Our guests LOVED it! Mike and his team were by far our favorite vendor and I can not wait to see the photos.

is so reasonable which was a big sell for us. This included 2 photographers for the whole day with video included. One thing that i didn't love was that we didn't get any engagement pictures. I emailed asking for dates and he was a little delayed in getting back to me - then when we had dates picked we had to reschedule due to weather - fine, but he never followed up with us again. It was always us following up with him. I ended up just taking a credit on our final bill because my sister took some engagement photos we ended up really liking. pretty quiet until a couple months before the wedding, when i emailed him twice and finally ended up calling him because he didn't respond in order to schedule our pre-wedding meeting. he told me he was super busy with a bunch of engagement shots/weddings in august/september and that he would get to october weddings once those were done. i only reached out because he told me the timeline of when this meeting should happen. our wedding day happened and everything went pretty well. he brought his niece Fay and she was awesome! the only thing i have to say about the wedding day is it was super wet outside - we did a first look so we did pictures before the ceremony - mike kept suggesting that we go in the the yard to take pictures and i kept telling him i wasn't going in the yard before the ceremony to have mud everywhere - i probably had to tell him 10 times. the rest of the wedding day was great - i will say that Fay and Mike stayed pretty late and took a bunch of photos/video of the entire day/celebration. Before he left, Mike told us the photos would be ready in 4-6 weeks, which i thought was pretty fast! 4 weeks go by and, anxiously awaiting my photos, i reached out to Mike. I emailed him and his response was "we had an out of control sep. and oct, 37 sets of eng photos and 34 weddings. the industry average for wedding editing is 3-4 months, we are well ahead".... okay but that's not what you told me. if you had left my wedding day saying "3-4 months" i probably would have asked for some sneak peeks to hold myself over.. and don't use that as an excuse when i'm following up on the timeline you provided. he called me on 12/20 (9 weeks after the wedding) and told me the photos were done. he also said "you didn't want to do the parent's books right?"... no. i never said that and those were 2 of our biggest christmas presents. i know I never said this because we split the total cost in half - we paid half in October before our wedding and he was saying the final cost without the parents books would be $200 less than the "half" we paid up front... he then said "there's no way to get everything done at once so the parents books will take a little bit".. don't try to play it off like you couldn't get it done, when you forgot/were trying to get out of doing it. when we did get the parent's books, i wish i got to pick the pictures that went in there.. there are some where my eyes are closed, some where people aren't looking. it just seemed rushed. and also, there are pages that are crooked in the books and they can't be straightened out without totally ruining the book. Final Review: the price was great and we got some great pictures, the experience wasn't perfect but it didn't ruin the day by any means

did a wonderful job with my horse! I am so happy we found Mike and we highly recommend him!
