Mike Sears Photography

al day, our love, and our personalities so beautifully and perfectly. The photos are stunning and timeless. Mike made us feel so comfortable during the whole process and he is so funny that he fit right into our wedding crowd. I will continue to recommend him for everyone and anyone who needs a photographer! 

agement photos with him and he made it so easy and we love the results!! Fast forward to our wedding, he made for an amazing day and we absolutely LOVED the photos. I cannot recommend Mike enough, he and so easy going and his work speaks for itself.

y to work with, and his communication is superb. We are over the moon with all of our photos. He captured us so beautifully and naturally. He definitely has a calming presence and makes it easy to pose for photos. His work is incredible from the creative angles, to the moody lighting, and timeless style. We will definitely be reaching out to him for any of our photo needs in the future!

t and our wedding. He was so easy to work with and made taking the family photos fun. I had other vendors telling me that he had such a relaxing and calming vibe and that they really enjoyed working with him. The pictures were beautiful and Mike really was everywhere and no where at the same time. he even got the pictures to us before we were home from our honeymoon, which was such a pleasant surprise. I would recommend him to anyone!!

My husband is not a fan of getting his picture taken and Mike made him feel so at ease throughout the whole process. He got him to genuinely smile and laugh during both the engagement photos and during the wedding photos. Mike is so organized and I felt completely confident in his ability to capture the best day of our lives. He was also so fast with getting our wedding album back to us. I love how excited Mike gets while taking our photos. He really wants to capture interesting and timeless photos that highlight us as a couple. We are so thankful we picked Mike for our wedding and wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!

our special day!! I would not recommend anyone other than him. His second shooter, Mike was wonderful as well. We are thrilled with the photos and are looking forward to sharing them with family and friends. With love, Leah and Nicholas Nuzzolo

his helpful prompts combined with a good mix of seriousness and jokes. That is coming from two people who are not very comfortable posing for pictures in normal settings. Most importantly, the pictures themselves are incredible. You can tell Mike is a professional who is passionate about his craft. The use of lightning, colors, and the environment amaze us every time we look back at the pictures. We had an incredible engagement shoot (complimentary!) during the fall in North Conway where Mike perfectly incorporated the foliage into the shots. On the wedding day itself, Mike helped us plan a first-look and bridal party pictures ahead of the ceremony so we were able to enjoy the cocktail hour with our guests. Mike also brought a secondary photographer, Kris, who was equally as friendly and talented. This combo of two photographers allowed us to get shots from multiple angles and even in multiple locations (ie. Bridesmaids and Groomsmen getting ready). We highly recommend Mike as a wedding photographer.

I knew we wanted to hire him for our wedding. Mike is talented, creative, and very clearly passionate about his work. He is also a kind, funny, easygoing person and I would 100% recommend him to any couple planning their wedding. He was very prompt in sending us our photo gallery and captured each moment of our wedding day beautifully!

ken! We already knew how talented he was just looking at his website but seeing him in action you can tell he is not only very talented but 100% loves what he does which makes the whole experience that much better! We were so happy to have had Mike to capture our day! We would highly recommend him to anyone! :)

and and I were so worried going into this process that we wouldn't like the photos taken of us but we LOVED every single one that Mike took. He immediately put us and our guests at ease and made the photo taking process easy and fun! Our already perfect wedding day was made even more perfect with Mike there capturing it for us. If you are in the market for someone to take your photos, PICK MIKE. You will NOT be disappointed!

had him as part of our special day. From calming my nerves to capturing every perfect moment, he exceeded all expectations. The sneak peeks we’ve received so far are stunning, and my family is still raving about how amazing he was a full week later! If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only deliver timeless, beautiful photos but also make your day even more enjoyable, Mike is your guy. Look no further!

ge help making sure our timeline was consistent and that we knew he was here to help with anything. Mike provided a great engagement photo shoot experience prior to our wedding and was so great with his direction and enthusiasm. We felt comfortable with Mike from the second we met him. During our wedding day Mike was exceptionally thorough with all the pictures we were hoping to get as well as making sure he provided his expertise on others we might like. Mike made the photo shoot process feel like second nature and his work really showed how much he was enjoying the day. His approach also made our whole wedding party feel comfortable and excited for the pictures. Mike delivered our album in a short amount of time while making sure each picture was presented with care. We would highly recommend working with Mike for any photo shoots!

t, professional, kind, and funny. We aren't ones to love posing for photos but he made us feel comfortable. We got so many compliments on him from our wedding guests too. He captured our wedding day perfectly with his documentary style and we will treasure the beautiful photos for years. Wish we could get married again to have more photos from Mike!

to help us remember the day by.

s as my husband and I have no experience with portraits. He knew just how to place us for the best shots. We recommend him without hesitation!

the story of your wedding through photos and he definitely achieved this when I look back now. Mike was friendly and communicative from the start. He asked what style of photos we wanted and he delivered on our vision. Everyone at the wedding including family and the vendor was raving about how great he was. I am so glad we chose Mike and we now have these photos to remember our wedding. Both my wife and I highly recommend!

folio that allowed us to see his work going back to 2016 and seeing how his work has developed over the years. It was clear from the start that he was experienced and we would be in good hands. After reaching out to Mike, we set up a phone call and he walked us through what our wedding day would look like with him. This part was especially helpful because it was obvious that he had a systematic approach after years of experience. Closer to the wedding day, we met in person to go over details and the itinerary for the day. We have a very big family - we had over 30 family photo combinations to take with the largest being 50+ people. We were surprised by his lack of concern for the amount of photos we wanted. The day of, these photos went faster than we anticipated and we finished ahead of schedule! Mike was great getting people organized and kept up with all the moving parts. Some of the guests commented on how discrete he was! He floated around during the ceremony and reception to capture the day but was not intrusive or clunky. We received the final portfolio exactly 3 weeks after our wedding day which included tons of candid photos of us, the guests and the space. The quality of the entire collection is excellent! We loved working with Mike and recommend him to everyone!

us feel extremely comfortable, was punctual and is just so fun all around! He is so creative and absolutely amazing at his job. He really created a picture perfect Christmas Winter Wedding for me and I couldn't be more thankful. I really am stunned at how beautiful my pictures came out. Book him now, there is no one better!

of photos and he was able to make him feel at ease and enjoy the experience. The whole experience was wonderful and Mike really captured our relationship so well through our photos. The quality of the photos was amazing and exactly what I envisioned. I can’t recommend Mike more and definitely plan to use him for photos in the future !

h and has the best personality. Our pictures came out beautiful and we will cherish them always. I will forever recommend him!

yle approach, he was able to capture not only the people present, but every emotion of the day. Our first look photos are unbelievable, and we have gotten so many compliments on them! We have so many beautiful photos it has been hard to choose which ones to frame-- we love them all! Mike felt less like a vendor and more like an old family friend capturing our wedding. He is professional and has the amazing ability to make everyone laugh and put them at ease. We can't thank Mike enough for his amazing work!

ou feel comfortable in front of a camera. He made all our friends and family laugh, even in the coldest of temperatures. And his photo quality is unparalleled. He has this uncanny ability to capture special moments. Our photos not only look stunning, but organic too. No forced cheesy or weird poses; he was able to capture who we are and bring out the best in everyone. Even though our wedding is over, I know we’ll be working with him for years to come as we start our new family. Please don’t hesitate to book Mike, he’s simply the best.

ed us get more comfortable being in front of the camera, especially with Mike’s guidance. On the wedding day Mike was everything we could have hoped for, and more. He was professional and enthusiastic. He helped capture all of the moments we wanted and was invaluable when it came to directing the family for portraits. He even helped push our vintage car when it broke down on the way to the ceremony, and drove us to and from the venue! We cannot recommend Mike enough and would encourage every couple to book him.

ly made myself and my husband feel so comfortable and helped to make our wedding flow smoothly while getting all of the photos we were hoping for. Mike has an eye for beauty and was able to turn our slightly rainy wedding day into gorgeous photographs! We are so grateful to have worked with him and would highly recommended him to everyone!

e ability to make you feel relaxed and genuinely smile for the camera. We had an engagement shoot prior to our wedding and he promptly sent over our pictures and did a phenomenal job. His enthusiasm for photography is contagious and we are so exited to receive our final photos from the day of. There was a slight health scare about a week prior to our wedding day - Mike gave us several options in case there was any chance we were not comfortable and put our minds at ease. He is also great with kids and managed to get some fantastic photos with infants/ toddlers. Thank you so much Mike!!!!

er efficient. We have also been sent a couple of sneak peaks and are drooling!! We cannot wait for the rest of the photos. We couldn’t recommend him more!!

o the venue early, etc). Neither my husband or I take professional photos often, and Mike made us feel at ease and directed us as needed. I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding day, and I 100% recommend him!

himself is so professional, fun, exuberant, and easy to work with. If you’re considering Mike for your big day DO IT. You won’t regret it.

t on the pictures. Thank you for creating most memorable moments in our lives!!!

t into his approach to wedding photography. The engagement shoot with Mike was a lot of fun, he immediately established a rapport with us, which continued through to the end of our wedding. We had lots of fun stopping traffic all across Portsmouth NH to take our engagement photos, and Mike was very good about directing us to ensure that we had many photos with a variety of poses. With our wedding, Mike was a photographer, coordinator, and constant source of entertainment. He helped the groom pin his boutonnière, directed the bride to the first look, entertained the children, and wrangled a large wedding party to knock out all of our day-of photos. We cannot recommend Mike enough and wish him all the best in the future!

nal. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs professional photos of any kind! We could not be more happy with how he captured our day!

moment he walked in. Friends and family have had so many positive words about his work. He captured so many moments and memories through out the day that will last forever. Not only are his pictures amazing, his personality and energy was so much fun!! We are beyond thankful for choosing him to capture our big day. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a passionate professional who’s pictures will leave you in awe.

and everyone else feel so comfortable that he gets the best out of you!

to know him before the big day and knew going into the wedding that we were in the best hands. If you are looking for someone who is attentive, will put you at ease, will go the extra mile, and deliver amazing photos, look no further.

! He recently did our engagement shoot. The best part about Mike as a photographer is that he is going to photograph authentic pictures. I have seen pictures that seem too staged and the poses aren't natural. With Mike, he just wants you to be yourself and allows you to be in front of him because he is so easy to be around. It was touching to see how excited he got while taking our engagement photos. He had never been to Crane Beach and really enjoyed taking photos there. I am so excited for him to take photos at our wedding! He makes you and your partner feel special and beautiful, so it is natural for your photos to come out great.

t our wedding date around his availability because he’s THAT good. Not only is he a phenomenal photographer, he has the best personality as well! He made us feel comfortable and made the process so fun. Although he’s a busy guy, he made us feel as though our wedding was one of the only weddings he was shooting this year. He truly made us feel special. Mike offers more to your shoot than your typical wedding photographer. The quality is stunning and the angles, lighting etc capture the day perfectly. We will cherish these photos forever.

made us feel comfortable instantly! He is so fun to work with, yet very professional at the same time. Not to mention his photos are incredible. We were speechless after receiving our engagement photos and we are so excited to see how beautifully he captured our wedding day!

his enthusiasm and love for photography is palpable, as well as how much he cares about giving his couples the best experience and beautiful photos to cherish forever. My husband and I are super uncomfortable in front of cameras, but Mike eases that discomfort. For our engagement photos, he met us up in the White Mountains and hauled his equipment through the woods to take our photos at a waterfall in the forest. This first experience of working with Mike was wonderful and we knew we’d be in great hands for our wedding day. Our photos came out amazing, and we were able to get beautiful fall foliage shots that would contrast nicely with our summer wedding photos. Leading up to our wedding, Mike was in constant communication, which was very reassuring. He developed a day-of schedule for photos, and we had a phone call the week before to go over details and our “must-have” photos for the wedding. On the day-of, Mike and his second photographer, Ed Moran, worked seamlessly together to be present with myself and my bridesmaids, as well as with my husband and his groomsmen. Mike and Ed were easy to work with, kind, kept us all laughing, and adapted on the fly to changes. Mike also worked so well with all of our other vendors, many of whom he had worked with in the past. We had our full gallery back within three weeks, which was amazing and so much faster than we could have hoped for! We are so happy with the photos we have that we can look back on as we remember our most magical day. Please book Mike for your wedding photography!!

mazing at both our engagement shoot and wedding day. He is such good energy and makes taking pictures easy and relaxed. Also my favorite thing about him is how easy he was to work with and he followed through with any and all of my requests! Definitely would recommend 10/10!

here was a lot). Mike did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. Our engagement shoot was so amazing, we did it in downtown Salem. The excitement from Mike was so amazing, he had not shot there before so you could see the inspiration pouring out of him! For the wedding Mike and Miranda got awesome shots of the boys getting ready! And we are so in love with how all of our wedding photos came out! He was always on time (by that I mean he always there about 15 minutes ahead of time! Which was greatly appreciated!) Mike and Miranda were both so professional! We loved that he was always game for whatever ideas we came up with for pics and he always had an idea for us if we couldn’t think of one! Our wedding party also loved him! They thought that he was an amazing photographer but also has an such a great sense of humor. He knew how to take the stress out of the picture process, everything was so easy and together it made it such a smooth process for my husband and I. If we need a photographer for anything else we don’t have to look because we know who we will be calling! I know i said amazing a lot in this but there is really no other way to describe the experience that he created and just him as a person!

h time talking with us, getting to know us, and explaining what to expect. He was incredible at our engagement shoot, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and sharing his photography knowledge. And, THE MOST FUN! The wedding day came and we were even more thrilled. We already knew how great Mike was, but one of the top comments we've been hearing about our wedding from our guests was how awesome the photographer was. He made my family laugh, and feel comfortable and is so incredibly kind and relatable. So many positive things to say! Too many for what this review allows! We are over the moon with the sneak peeks we've seen already and can't wait for the full gallery. I would highly, HIGHLY recommend booking Mike for any wedding or life event you want to be captured. His spirit and true love for what he does is contagious and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him.

patient, kind and made us feel relaxed during all our photos. Our guests raved about how well he blended in during the wedding. He captured amazing memories for us and our families. The photos are STUNNING and his vision was amazing! We are forever grateful that we had Mike capture our wedding day. It was pure perfection! We highly recommend Mike Sears Photography!

excitement for capturing details (i.e.: angles of light) is contagious and he truly puts you at ease if you are not comfortable being the center of attention. He was able to corral our small group and ensure that every picture (and there were quite a few) that I requested was taken. Mike is not only a great photographer but a great guy to get to know. We are so lucky to have found him and to have him share our special day with us!

we will be cherishing these photos forever. Mike is a true professional and artist. From the engagement shoot to the final shot of the wedding day - Mike knows exactly what he is doing and how to nagvigate the flow so all you have to do is "BE PRESENT" on your special day. I had full confidence that he would capture every moment perfectly, and he did! I wouldn't look anywhere else for a photographer for your wedding, Mike is your man!
