Mike Zawadzki Photography

We can’t recommend Mike and his team enough! From the first inquiry with Mike to the delivery of final photos, working with this team has been such a pleasure. First, Mike shot our engagement photos and made us feel so comfortable and reassured throughout the shoot that we knew we made the right decision for our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, the process was well defined and prepared to make the big day stress free! Then on the actual wedding day was when Mike and Tiffany shined. They were so incredibly professional and guided us through each part of the day from start until the very end, making sure we captured all the important moments. And even after all that, the thing that impressed us most is the final product! The pictures were absolutely amazing and we’re so happy we chose Mike to photograph our wedding. They perfectly captured the magic that was our wedding day and we can’t thank them enough!

Mike and his team are the absolute best at what they do. They made us feel so comfortable and natural from the very beginning at our engagement shoot, to our wedding day. Our family and friends had nothing but great things to say about Mike and his team, and the final product speaks for itself. We are beyond happy with our photos and will cherish them forever. Look no further than Mike!

Mike Zawadzki and his associates were a pleasure to work with from day one and I’m so happy with how everything came out. His team was a perfect match for us! These pictures really help us relieve the best day of our lives and that is exactly what I wanted. When we were talking with other couples, they said “make sure you have a good photographer, it’s the only way you’ll remember the day because it goes quickly” and I was not worried because I knew we were in good hands!!

Mike and his team are the best in the business, hands down. They worked with our schedule and it was FUN. We are blown away by the content and quality of the photos and are proud of our incredible collection that captured every moment of our big day soup to nuts.

Once I found Mike and his team I didn't bother looking for anyone else. Cancelled all my other appointments and meetings with other photographers because I knew I found the perfect one for me. Tiffany, Gerardo, and Kelsey were the literal dream team the day of our wedding. Everyone raves about how amazing and professional they were! I for one and not very comfortable in front of a camera and they made it so effortless for me to smile and look so photogenic! I can not say enough amazing things about Mike, Tiffany, Gerardo, and Kelsey!

We had an incredible experience with the MZ team! I booked them through word of mouth and was so blown away. The team is professional, kind, listened to us and our wants/needs, was SO organized with the day-of timeline and information, and turned previews around so quickly. They were such a joy to be around all day and did such an incredible job!

I could not say enough good things about Mike, Tiffany, and Gracie. From the first phone call I had with Mike I knew he was the right fit by how easy going and open the conversation was. Our wedding was untraditional in many ways and he was not only open to that but was excited by it. My prep call with Gracie also reconfirmed I had made the right decision booking them. She helped to organize everything we wanted captured so nothing would be missed. The second they showed up on the wedding weekend I was once again so happy with my decision. All 3 of them jumped right in and just kept the day fun and light while making sure to capture what we wanted. Mike even helped to calm me and my mom in a moment of trying to gather everyone. I hate being in front of a camera but this team made me feel so comfortable. Tiffany was so personable as well and helped to direct and reassure family members who didn’t know how to pose etc. we wanted to hang out with them throughout the day - that’s how cool and friendly they all were! The photos we received back are truly STUNNING and really captured the essence of our wedding day. Mike and his team are true artists. You will be making a mistake if you DONT book this crew for your wedding. I hope to use them again for any future photography needs.

Mike Zawadzki & his team are amazing! Tiffany was our lead photographer for our wedding day and we are in awe of the photos. The team does a great job capturing light during various times of day and conditions, so whether it was raining at night or bright and sunny before our ceremony, everything looks incredible. Tiffany led our large bridal party with such organization and professionalism throughout the day and even got us back same-day previews. We got our full gallery within a month also which was so timely especially during peak wedding season. You won’t regret hiring this incredible company!

If you have hired any other photographer, you're wrong! Tiffany has blown myself, my husband and my family away with how AMAZING she is. From start to finish she is professional, makes being photographed easy and enjoyable. She photographed or engagement session, and two days of our wedding and will likely be our go-to photographer forever. We love you Tiffany and Mike!

Where do I even start!?! Mike was so amazing. I cannot recommend him more if I tried to. From my first phone call with Mike I knew I had to book him. During that call I told him my husband is not a fan of pictures and he said don't worry about it. He was not lying. Our engagement shoot Mike had us feeling like we were all friends since childhood. He was so creative with his posing and gave my husband a break from smiling without stopping the shoot. His photos are unlike anything I have ever seen, so personal with a little bit of dramatics and a touch of playfulness. All of our photos are so much more than pictures they are mini stories that he was able to create and make come to life. We have received only our wedding highlights and I am beyond excited to have the rest back!! During our wedding Mike was great! He actually had us running ahead of schedule and gave us a little break before the craziness of the day started. If you're looking for a photographer that is going to capture everything and then some look no further. Mike, I cannot thank you enough for our beautiful photos. They will be cherished forever <3 :)

DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER! Mike is BY FAR the BEST photographer out there! It took months to find the words to write this review and it still won’t be enough. He went above and beyond right from the start. From the planning to the engagement photos to the wedding day and after the wedding. Not only will you get those dreamy photos you’re looking for but he will make your wedding day that much easier. They say on your wedding day as soon as the photographer arrives its go go go time. But as soon as Mike arrived it was like a sigh of relief. He had such a calming effect on me after being so stressed out. You just knew he had everything under control and everything was going to go smoothly. You don’t realize how important that is until you’re in the moment. Having a photographer that you can trust that knows what he’s doing. AND KILLS IT! Their talent is untouchable. Mike and his team are so professional but also so personable. So grateful and happy I found them. Choosing them will be the easiest decision you can make!

From the first phone call with Mike I knew he was the right photographer for me. I distinctly remember telling him light and airy just wasn’t my style and he said to me his goal was for my pictures to reflect how my wedding actually looked. And then we realized we are both dog people and we were pretty much set (shout out to Merlo). Mike has an awesome way of bringing in his creative side but also being able to capture the classic wedding shots and family formals. We are blown away with the sneak peaks we have received and cannot wait to get the rest. I’m super type A so I made a pretty extensive list of photos I wanted and made sure to do my best to help them keep everyone moving (our immediate family is 25 people). Mike and Tiff were amazing at keeping us laughing and going all day. Mike also could read my husband and tell when he needed the push to take more pictures and when to stop. Mike encouraged us to take sunset pictures and we were hesitant at first because we didn’t want to step out of the reception but omg are we so glad we did. Tiffany even appeased my brother who was having a bit of a fit about his eyebrows being too thin because of a bad haircut the week before and she literally drew them on for him. She also held me in her jacket between a few pics because it was cold. Mike and Tiff are both very passionate about what they do and their commitment truly shows through their work.

We found Mike through Instagram in July of 2020 after getting engaged during lockdown. I instantly adored the way his portraits captured light and connection. After our initial phone consultation, we knew with 1000% certainty there was no other photographer for us! Mike was very professional while also being so funny, kind, engaging and relatable. He helped us plan our dream fall engagement shoot by suggesting a unique location with just a hint of “spooky.” Mike’s demeanor helped us feel much more comfortable having our photos taken! COVID caused our planning to take a less traditional route, and we had our “mini” church wedding in Fall 2021. While Mike himself was already booked for that day, he connected us with one of his associate photographers, Brad, to photograph our religious ceremony. They were both so helpful and flexible, and the pictures were everything we had hoped for. Fast forward to Fall 2022, when we finally would be able to celebrate with all of our friends and family! Tiffany (Studio Manager) contacted us to fill out an extensive day-of timeline and followed up with a completely personalized phone call to iron out all of the details. She was so friendly, caring, and had so much experience in the industry to share. We ended the conversation knowing we were TRULY in the best hands with MZP. On the day of our “big” wedding, Mike, Brad, and Meg were an absolute dream team to work with. True experts in every way - professional, personable, detail oriented, creative, attentive - and just plain FUN to be around! They were an absolutely instrumental component of our wedding, and we will always remember how they not only made us laugh all day but went absolutely above and beyond - from following us all around the farm on golf carts, to walking through bugs and mud, to carrying my lipstick for touch ups - to ensure that the photos captured our vision that we had been dreaming of for nearly two and a half years, including the sunset of a lifetime. Our friends and family were blown away to see the preview gallery within the first 48 hours after the wedding! To our MZP Team - Mike, Brad, Tiffany, Meg - it’s hard to adequately put into words how grateful we are to have had the pleasure of working with all of you throughout this process. Your talent, and your character, is unparalleled. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything. To anyone in search of a wedding photographer, look no further - these are your people!!! Mike and his team are the absolute best of the best there is ✨

Mike was very communicative and informative no matter how many questions we asked. He is very transparent and easy to work with. Extremely professional and a master of his craft and art.

MIKE AND TIFFANY - a MUST hire vendor dream team! From our first phone call with Mike, we knew we found a special team. Then Mike introduced us to Tiffany and we were sold. We found Mike and Tiffany by searching for photographers who had worked with the Art Factory. We loved the work we saw on their instagram and knew they would be great for our style. What we didn't know was that in addition to beautiful work, they are also incredible to work with. It is so important that you feel comfortable with your photographers and are excited to spend the day with them. Each phone call with Tiffany felt so personal and her work is just flawless. We did our engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and Tiff made sure we felt comfortable and excited. She spent time learning about us, our preferences and laughing with us throughout the day. She got us the pictures in record time and everyone I knew could not stop talking about them. Beautiful, unique, artistic and perfectly us. Then the wedding came and to no surprise Tiff and her team absolutely killed it. They were everywhere and made sure to help us create so many special moments. Tiff & Mike even delivered a sneak peak less than 48 hours later. Everyone in our lives, especially us, are absolutely obsessed. If you want incredible partners, visionaries, artists, and people - absolutely hire Mike, Tiffany or their team! Thank you for perfectly capturing our day and our love! You are simply the best!

Our planner Michael “Weddings down the Shore” recommended Mike Zawadzki. We knew the second we looked at Mike’s work, we knew Mike was a must hire! Mike takes wedding photography to a whole new level. Mike and his team are absolute MASTERS of their craft. They were so kind and creative! Mike is so incredible to work with! There truly aren’t enough words to convey his talent, keen eye for detail, professionalism, and wonderful personality. Both our engagement and wedding photos were more than we could have ever hoped for - he made us feel so comfortable and it came through in our photos - he captured us in a unique way that we have never seen in wedding photography, like a work of art. He is always thinking one step ahead and capturing every detail through his work; we are so glad we hired Mike to also be at our rehearsal and welcome party. And more importantly Mike was wonderful working with our request to include photos with our golden retriever Leo :) He made Leo the star of our wedding day! No question about it, Mike and his team are the best of the best and we’re so happy we chose him to capture our entire wedding weekend! <3

Mike Zawadzki and his team are extraordinarily talented and were able to capture the pure joy, love, and excitement of our wedding day. We were not only drawn to Mike for his stunning photography, but also for his attention to social justice and inclusivity. Mike has a talent for capturing raw, beautiful emotion of his couples without causing them to look overly posed. Mike also made the whole experience fun and exciting. We loved our engagement photoshoot and felt super comfortable being photographed professionally. We also had such a great time at our wedding, and felt that Mike and his team provided a sense of calm amidst the sometimes chaotic moments in a wedding. We loved being whisked away for exciting photoshoots at various locations around the venue, and are so grateful that Mike captured the most important day of our lives.

If you’ve been searching and searching for your dream wedding photographer, look no further! Mike is AMAZING at what he does! I’ve known for years I’d be booking Mike for our wedding - he's a pro, he knows the flow of the day better than anyone, he's calm and professional and also a fun and silly guy who can help you loosen up for photos. I couldn’t have imagined our photos looking as dreamy and romantic as they turned out! Mike makes you feel comfortable in front of the lens and helps pose you to look like models . Mikes team is also incredible, so no matter what you are getting his LOOK even with a second shooter. The planning process with him and Tiffany was smooth (and somehow fun?!) Tiffany really helped breakdown the timeline for the day with helpful tips to make sure we got everything we wanted scheduled in. Mike is caring, fun and extremely talented! I have always said his work is straight out of a romance film, the back lighting, the glow, the perfect moment captured every time. If I could leave a million "fire emojis" I would! If you put your trust in Mike he will not let you down. Happy planning!

I don't think I can come up with words to express my gratitude towards Mike, Tiffany, and Betsy for helping to make my wedding the most memorable, breathtakingly beautiful, fun day I could have. I knew from our first video chat that Tiffany was going to be wonderful. From her personality, to her skill- my husband and I were floored. We had an engagement shoot with Tiffany before our wedding and knew with certainty that we made the right choice. It was as if we had known Tiffany for years! And the wedding, EVEN BETTER!! Tiffany and Betsy photographed the wedding and got every shot imaginable, from the candid tears and the goofy dancing, to the filled with love and YES WE'RE MARRIED photos. And we had planned an outdoor wedding -it rained, but Tiffany and Betsy were ready and prepared even when I wasn't. Everyone on the team is kind, professional, and highly skilled. I can't recommend Mike and his team enough!!!

There are no words to truly describe how fortunate we are to have crossed paths with Mike and his team. He is a rare person who shines in how caring and intentional he is about sharing his craft with ALL and ensuring everyone feels beautiful in their own skin. Mike's gift of using photography to tell stories is just out of this world. He was born to gift this world with his talent. He handled all of our engagement and wedding photography without missing a beat ... and I'm talking different weather, lightening, and outfit changes. On top of it all he is a very caring person. We are an interracial couple and his photography captured both of our unique attributes beautifully. Thank you is not enough to capture how grateful we are. Everyone asks us who is your photographer. If you want photographs that will last beyond your time on this earth, hire Mike. You will not be disappointed. He is a true professional in EVERY aspect. Oh and you'll get sneak peaks like the ones attached to this review less than 24 hours later! Who does that? Mike does. Get yourself the best - and that's Mike, Tiffany and the entire team! With love and gratitude, Emily & Chris

One word to describe Mike, his team and his outstanding photography…INCREDBILE! Mike came recommended by our venue, but we chose him because his photos were pure artwork! Right from the start Mike was easy to speak to and understood our vision - stunning/classy and not white wished like so many, that captured our personalities and the love we have for each. In the engagement photos, he captured everything we wanted and helped us loosen up. In our wedding photos he absolutely NAILED our vision and was legit a delight to have at the wedding. I wish He was able to party with us all nice. He got along with all of our friends and family, was insanely professional throughout the entire night, knew exactly what we wanted, made sure we were comfortable with what he and his team were doing. Mike truly felt like family during his time with us. I can Say he is now a lifelong friend and will be our go to photographer for life! After the wedding, Mike sent us the previews literally within 24 hours which is amazing. His excitement in editing them was palpable as well and the photos turned out outstanding. My husband and I gushed Over them for weeks until we got our massive album of the final and full set of photos from the Mike. And again they were incredible. They captured every aspect of the wedding we wanted, right down to a shot of my husband feeding me a much anticipated chicken & waffle cone h’ors derve which may be a small moment but the photo captured so much more than the eye can see and Mike did that! The photos were pure magic and exactly what we wanted and why we picked Mike. They are photos we can hang on our walls and show our kids one day that are not cheesy average wedding photos, but they are gorgeous dramatic pieces of artwork that we will be proud to say were by the most talented photographer. If you are looking for a photographer, pick Mike period. Stop searching and reach out to him immediately. You, your family, your friends and your future selves will thank you immensely.

Mike is a terrific photographer that works well with all sorts of people and settings! He made us feel comfortable right away and used his knowledge of the area and our preferences for nature-based backgrounds to make sure we had the best possible photos. We got lots of compliments from guests too about how he and his team interacted with them. Definitely recommend him!

This is long overdue. We couldn't be happier with our session and how the photos turned out! Very professional and made us comfortable. Turnaround time for photo gallery was also very good. Highly recommend and would book for other events! Thank you so much for being so awesome to work with!

Look no further for your wedding photography! Mike and his team are absolute MASTERS of their craft. They were so kind, creative and patient on our wedding day. My Husband and I are not photogenic people nor do we like having our pictures taken. Mike made us feel comfortable and beautiful. We were having so much fun we forgot about the camera! Beyond the photos, their professionalism is top notch. They were always quick to respond and answered ALL of my silly questions. Thank you again for helping us make visual memories that will last a lifetime.

I had a ton of photographers on my potential list, but Mike was #1 and after speaking with him we didn't bother scheduling calls with anyone else. I'm so glad we found him!  He is incredibly creative and fun to work with.  He can work with any lighting and wasn't intimidated at all by our incredibly dark venue and made sure to share full albums with us of other dark venues he had shot at to make sure we were comfortable before booking.  Our videographer "whooped" in excitement when he found out Mike was our photographer because he is wonderful to work with and is so talented.  In our engagement photos, Mike expertly captured the most beautiful golden hour moments with the sun setting behind us.  On our wedding day he realized the angle of the venue and woods would prevent us from getting any of the sun set SO HE MADE HIS OWN SUN WITH A BULB (seriously, he had his assistant standing in a bush with a bulb and you would never know from looking at the picture)!  I tell everyone that Mike is a magician and I mean it.  In addition to being a master of his art, he is also just a great person to spend the day with and you NEED that on your wedding day!  Mike also gives the best posing direction.  I looked at his albums and thought, "okay these people are models, I won't look like that but it'll still be great" but every time he showed me previews of the pictures I was blown away that we looked like models too!  Lastly, I had a pretty loud, rambunctious, exuberant, and large (8) bridal party and Mike handled us with the perfect amount of playfulness and assertiveness to make sure it was a blast for everyone, but we got the shots we wanted!  I was worried we would be too much but Mike has seen it all! I can't recommend Mike and his team highly enough.

Mike and his team were worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. Mike was so responsive, kind and helpful in every point of contact. He was patient when our other vendors deviated from the timeline and was just 20 out of 10 amazing. Do not hesitate to book him and his team - they will do everything in their power to capture the memories of your special day in a way that is thoughtful and stunning.

Mike & his team were truly amazing at our wedding. He was so organized and easy to work with, and great at wrangling us all together to get the perfect shot! We love Mike's style of photography, he really listened to what we wanted for our winter wedding and captured it perfectly. Every question we had along the way Mike did a fantastic job answering and really made the process easy and fun! I highly recommend him and his team to everyone!

I loved Mike's work from the moment I saw it, but as an indecisive bride it took me a while to finally pull the trigger. Mike was so patient with me, he never pushed me to book and spoke with me multiple times working within my budget, and figuring out my vision for the wedding. This man has a patience of an angel. We did an engagement shoot with him first and the pictures blew us away, he is a perfectionist with a vision and his work really shows that. During the stressful wedding day he again was very patient and got all of the pictures I requested and more. The pictures turned out AMAZING and he got them to us 6 days after the wedding. Do not hesitate and book Mike and his team, his work is truly incredible.

If you want to have walls full of stunning photographs that perfectly capture your wedding day— this is it. Not only will Mike’s photos melt your heart, but he & his team were by far the most professional, most personable wedding vendors to work with. His communication was consistent and clear from our first inquiry, and after our engagement session we felt as if we were old friends and couldn’t wait to see him again for our wedding. Mike & his team were a peaceful presence on our wedding day, perfectly navigating family dynamics while keeping us all smiling and on schedule. His portraits captured so much of my husband and I’s love & playfulness, and he immortalized so many precious & fun moments throughout our day— moments that we would never have seen without these photos! There are not enough words of praise for Mike and his captivating photographs really speak for themselves. We cannot wait to pass these photos down in our family for many years to come, as there is no doubt these timeless images will one day become heirlooms to our children and grandchildren.

Mike and his team are nothing short of absolutely amazing!! Mike and Tiffany caught the big moments and the “must have” photos… But I was absolutely blown away about all the little moments that they were able to capture through out our entire wedding. They surpassed just being a photographer.. they helped ensure we followed our timeline and Tiffany even helped me put on my earring and restyle my hair half way through the reception!!! Could not be happier we went we them for our wedding day and engagement photos!

I knew right after getting engaged that having amazing photographs of our wedding day was a huge priority. We were so lucky to find Mike Zawadski pretty early in our search. We booked him just about 2 years before our wedding date. Throughout the planning process he was helpful, professional and engaged in getting to know us as a couple. When we did our engagement shoot, we were blown away the photographs but were also impressed by how much fun it was to work with Mike and his team. We felt like we just clicked with him. Leading up to the wedding he made us feel so confident in his organization and timeline for the day. On our wedding day, he helped us to laugh and enjoy the day. Having him being so focused on us allowed us to focus on each other and our guests. We will always recommend Mike, not only for his exceptional photography skills but also because he is a wonderful person.

We were blown away by the talent and professionalism of Mike and his team! We did engagement and wedding photos with Mike & Gerardo (the main photographer for our event) and we could not be happier. We went with Mike & his team because of their professionalism, knowledge, and the natural look and feel of the photos. Could not be happier with the results!

I will never stop recommending Mike and his team to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!! From our engagement session to our wedding day and everything in between, Mike was always so prompt at answering any questions I had and helping to make the whole experience less daunting. His second photographer Tiffany and their assistant Betsy were amazing on our wedding day...everyone was so personable yet professional throughout the day. And their work speaks for itself. Mike sent us teaser photos the very next morning after our wedding and we were blown away. The passion him and his team have for what they do is unmatched. I am so glad I decided to go with Mike Zawadzki for our big day. I can’t wait to cherish these photos for years to come.

Mike and his team are SUPER talented, fun and professional!! (Shout out to Tiffany & JJ) He was always on time and very responsive to any questions we had! We booked him back in 2019 and he was very accommodating when we had to move our date twice due to Covid. Additionally, my husband I are very awkward in front of the camera and Mike was able to help us loosen up! I love his style of photography. I't so unique and artfully done without being cheesy or over the top! Book Mike Zawadski!

If I could recommend Mike 1000x I would. First, his photos are absolutely stunning. Second, Mike and his team (Tiffany and JJ) are AMAZING to work with. Always kept their cool and simply, go above and beyond. You can tell they love what they do and they do whatever it takes to get the shot. ( I saw Tiffany get hip-checked on the dance floor, go flying across the room, and kept going.) Mike is a pleasure to work with, even before the event, he was always communicative, easy to talk to, caring, and he followed up/stayed on top of it. He has so much experience with different settings and venues, he is always prepared and showed us some cool camera tricks. He also makes sure you feel comfortable and said some nice kind words to our guests, they were beaming in the photos. Did I mention, we also had our dog with us for the engagement shoot and ceremony? lol took a village but we got the most perfect photos of him actually looking at the camera.

I would recommend Mike and his team to anyone who wants professional photographs with an artistic touch. Mike did a 10 year anniversary photoshoot for us, and I am thrilled with the outcome! Mike was patient, funny and kind, making both my husband and I instantly comfortable in front of the camera. Watching Mike set up scenes, and find the perfect lighting for each shot, was like watching live-action art direction before my very eyes! I would 1000000% use Mike and his team again to photograph any special occasion in the future! 10/10 would recommend!

Mike and his team were incredible! They were so professional! They gave us great directions to capture amazing shots. I’m so happy we chose his company for our wedding day.

Words cannot express how happy we are with our wedding photos thanks to Mike Zawadzki and his team! Mike is a true creative professional who captures the personalities of each couple. He is able to capture real, raw moments that tell a captivating story. He was, by far, the easiest vendor to communicate with during our planning process especially after having to postpone our wedding due to Covid-19. We received amazing, magazine quality previews the NEXT DAY. We are in love with every single photo in our album. The color and quality is unlike anything else we've seen. We are so glad we chose Mike Zawadzki Photography – BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER! Thank you for capturing our memories and bringing our vision to life!

Mike and Christina were so great to work with at my sister's wedding. They made the process very smooth and comfortable, and did a great job with the final product. They are truly pros. I would highly recommend them!

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. He was so amazing to work with and his work is stunning. His work truly speaks for itself. We feel so lucky we were able to have him as our photographer. He and his assistant Tiffany created such beautiful images that we will look back on for the rest of our lives.

My husband and I used Mike for both our engagement and wedding photos and we could not have asked for a better photographer! Every single one of our pictures is beautiful! Not only is he talented, he’s so much fun to work with. He also responds quickly and is so easy to communicate with. The return time for our pictures was impressive! A true artist. We will forever be thankful for Mike and his team and can’t wait to use him in the future!

BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER! Run, don’t walk to book Mike for your wedding! He is a true artist. Made us feel comfortable and I can honestly say we now consider him a friend. His work speaks for itself! Absolutely stunning photography that captures true emotions and small special moments as well. He is incredible! We will be using him for all photography needed in the future! Seriously, you won’t regret it!

Mike and I had an excellent working relationship, despite never meeting in person! I cannot say enough about his professionalism despite all of the hurdles we had gone through. Mike is a kind, compassionate, and most importantly, professional individual. Mike is exceptional at communication, in every sense of the word! Although we never truly got to work together for my wedding, Mike answered ALL one million of my questions and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. As a bride who was planning a wedding across the country, and during the pandemic, Mike did an incredible job working with me to avail me of any concerns I may have. Despite not being able to work together for my wedding, I cannot recommend his work or his professionalism more. Hire him- you won't regret it!

GORGEOUS photos, and SUCH wonderful people!! I cannot say enough positive things about Mike's business. You should absolutely use him for your wedding!! 1) First off, our photos are STUNNING. I can't even tell you how in love I am with our photos. The moments they capture are just perfect. When I look at our photos, and the expressions they captured on our faces, I relive all the best moments of our wedding! And the colors are incredible. My dress was an unusual shade of ivory I was worried about, but in every photo, it came out stunning. Between the way Mike’s photographers captured the light, and the way he edited the photos afterwards - everything looks perfect. Somehow it’s rich and yet completely natural at the same time. In both the outdoor photos AND the indoor photos, which is hard for a photographer to do. 2) The people we worked with were wonderful. It is so important to do business with people you trust and enjoy, and Mike’s photographers were wonderful people to have around me on my wedding day. - Mike was busy the day of our wedding, but his associate photographer, Christina, was free. We also hired additional photographers, so got Gerardo and Antonio as well. All 3 were absolute professionals. When I look at their photos, and Mike's website, I can’t tell them apart. Everyone’s photos are of the highest caliber, and just stunning. I highly recommend all of them. - Christina did a wonderful job of facilitating the photos on our wedding day! Some brides have a list of photos they want that they found on Pinterest, but not me. I put everything in Christina’s hands, and she did amazingly! She knew all the important shots to take, and so many more that never would have occurred to me. During family photos, she stepped right up and made the whole thing easy, organized, and fun. She took charge, while staying in the background. She was the perfect blend of running the show, while letting me be the center of attention. When I did have ideas, she soaked it right up and was happy to oblige. After the organized photos, they blended into the background. They didn’t cross my radar for the rest of the evening, and yet when I look back at our photos, they somehow captured every single moment. - There are so many intimate moments during your wedding - from getting dressed with just your closest friends, to first look photos with your spouse. I worried it might feel unnatural to have a photographer following around, but I was wrong. Not an issue with Mike’s photographers. They’re so professional. They know exactly when to slink into the background and let you have a moment, and yet still capture it perfectly without you noticing. I was so comfortable with them around all day, and now have so many personal photos I cherish. - Mike is lovely to do business with. There were a few places where my eyes exceeded my budget, and he was willing to get on the phone and have a conversation about what was right for the both of us. Whenever I had a question, he was available to talk to. He is very worthy of your business! 3) Finally, the photo album Mike is currently making us is so perfect! Such an eye for photo arrangement and layouts. He did such a great job capturing our day, our love, and our goofiness. Mike and his associates are amazing photographers, and I cannot recommend them enough!

I fell in love with Mike’s work the second I saw it. I knew I HAD to have him as my wedding photographer. My husband and I created a very tight schedule for Mike since we didn’t want to do a first look but also wanted to make it to cocktail hour (I know….crazy…), but it didn’t phase Mike. He was able to organize our family after the ceremony and get EVERY SINGLE SHOT from the bridal party pictures, to family pictures to the most amazing portraits of my husband and I. ALSO, it rained ALL day and Mike came prepared with umbrellas and everything else to ensure, even if the rain didn’t stop, that we would get awesome pictures. I can’t stop looking at my pictures and would highly recommend Mike. Thank you Mike!!!

Amazing! So professional, so talented, and so nice! Knows what he’s doing and his photos look so amazing! Everyone is in awe when I show them! We had such a cloudy day and he made it work to fit the style I wanted. Great communication and fun to work with!

Mike was recommended to me by a friend. I immediately was drawn to his incredible photography style. He is immensely talented and very experienced. Our engagement and wedding photos came out so beautifully! Mike gave us TONS of amazing shots to choose from. Not only is his work incredible, he is a funny guy, and a lot of fun to work with. He is so patient and calm, and knows how to give great directions so the shot looks natural and perfect. He clearly works hard on his craft, and it shows. We are so thankful to have had Mike as our photographer, and can't wait to share our pictures with our friends and family!

Mike is amazing! He is an incredibly talented photographer and creates something for you that is truly art. Our photos are breathtaking! Mike is also someone who makes you feel at ease, which was essential for the first time we’ve ever been had professional photos taken. The pictures are the memories and it was extremely important to us that we found someone we could trust with this truly monumental day, to capture each precious moment. Mike exceeded our expectations. In addition to all this, he’s a great guy, incredibly personable, and always there for you. My emails, texts and calls were returned so quickly, most often with an immediate response. Mike could also add therapist to this list of achievements, as he helped coach us through some difficulties with our venue, while never wavering on his commitment to making our day epic. This guy makes a parking lot look like a dream. We are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with him!

This man is not just a photographer. He is a true master of his work. He sees a scene and light in ways that only a truly experienced professional in their field can. He takes what may look like just a tree or a branch or some light off in the distance and created these mind-blowing scenes of me and my fiancee. He went above and beyond in the amount of photos he took in such a wide variety of different scenes and poses. I couldn't believe my eyes. His photos are works of art. I'm so happy I went with Michael and not with one of the big 10-weddings-a-week photography companies in NY.

When I got engaged and began planning my wedding, I knew that my wedding photos were the most important part to me. Mike totally delivered! From initial booking to the wedding day to the communication afterwards/receiving photos, Mike has truly been the best. He is incredibly professional, creative and caring. I am so impressed with the photos from the wedding, along with all of our family and friends. Mike was a dream to work with. He was able to guide the wedding party and family with ease while taking fun shots. I am awkward in front of cameras, but it wasn't an issue at all. Mike told everyone exactly what to do, and it felt natural and fun. Mike is also a lifesaver/extremely prepared. My hanger for my dress snapped right before photos, but Mike was ready to go with a special "Bride" hanger, which really made the photos! His assistant, Tiffany, was also amazing and great to work with. Mike is easy to work with, professional and most of all- his photos are absolutely stunning. I cannot recommend him enough!! Thank you Mike!!

My husband and I could not be more grateful for all the work Mike did for our engagement shoot and wedding shoot. He literally broke a sweat at our wedding and trooped through despite how hot it was. He was always in immediate communication, replies within the hour (faster), and is quick to deliver photos. You know you'll always get quality work from mike and his team. I received quite a few wedding photographs back immediately after my wedding so I had something special to share with my family. There was not one bad photo in the bunch and I received so many amazing compliments. I have already told Mike that I'm contacting him for maternity shoots and baby photos once that all happens haha. You wont be let down by his artistic touch and professionalism, but you will regret not booking him for your event.

We really enjoyed having Mike as the photographer at our small family wedding in Florida. While we didn’t get to meet until the day (due to travel and a busy family schedule on our end) we spoke with Mike by phone beforehand, where he showed a real interest in our vision for the wedding day and how we could work together, shaping his services to fit our needs and budget. On the day Mike was brilliant - unobtrusive during the ceremony, and very patient and relaxed when taking family portraits afterwards. We also had a lot of fun after the ceremony taking some couple’s portraits at a nearby nature reserve too, and Mike had great ideas for some great shots of the two of us. We also really appreciated being able to share an initial selection of images with our family the morning after our wedding too. Above all, Mike was very easy to work with and took some absolutely wonderful and beautiful photos of us too that have subsequently been admired by many family members and friends! We couldn’t recommend him enough as a wedding photographer. Thanks Mike!

Mike's professionalism and kindness were more than we could have asked for. He made our wedding truly special and i would highly recommend him to do your wedding.

We couldn’t possibly recommend Mike more highly…he’s an all-around amazing person and beyond incredible behind the camera! Family and friends still bring up the “breathtaking” shots from our engagement session last year and that’s truly the only word that matches his level of work. Out of the dozen+ vendors we worked with, he was by far the easiest to communicate with throughout the entire process, and during the ceremony and reception - he somehow ninja-stepped into the shadows while being in the middle of the action at the same time. A thousand thumbs up!

Mike did an amazing job capturing our special day! From the first contact until the delivery of the pictures, everything was perfect. Mike is excellent in communicating and very quick to respond if any questions arise. We are absolutely in love with the gallery we received and couldn't be happier with the results. He is fantastic to work with and I can confidently recommend him to anyone who needs a (wedding) photographer.

Honestly, words can't even describe the level of creativity, dedication and absolutely successful execution of five star photographers. Mike and his team have literally turned our special night into the most incredible memories we could have ever imagined. Let me say, our family is HUGE and our wedding party even bigger. Even with the last minute changes stress of having to fit so many photos into a small time frame, Mike and his crew, Christina and Maria were able to get every single picture taken, down to very last moments of our night. We are so truly incredibly grateful to have found Mike. We are literally in shock at how beautiful and magnificent and unique each picture is. Literally hire him to do your wedding now! There is not a single person like this guy here! We are blessed.

Absolutely in awe of Mike's work. He was so professional (we barely noticed him in action, which was important to us because we didn't want any distractions from our event) and he captured it PERFECTLY! His photos will be cherished for a lifetime and I am so beyond glad we hired him to shoot our very special day. I HIGHLY recommend Mike to anyone looking for the most gorgeous, flawless, timeless photographs for their special day. On top of all of that, Mike was so prompt and timely with getting the photos back to me! Thanks for everything, Mike!

Okay so to start - if you don't hire Mike as your wedding photographer, you're making a huge mistake. TL;DR is that he's literally the best in the game, he's extremely kind, fun, passionate, and personable, and he will give you photos you will treasure for decades to come. If you need more convincing, read on: So I'm the kind of person who documents absolutely everything. I've had a camera in hand to capture all my memories since elementary school. For my wedding day, it was vital we had someone we trusted to capture all the important memories of the best day ever. Here's where Mike Zawadzki comes into our journey: we found his profile on the Knot and IMMEDIATELY fell in love with his portfolio. His masterful use of light and contrast, thoughtful framing, and natural capturing of true emotions and moments convinced us before we even reached out to him that he was perfect for us. Once we spoke to him, we found he is hilarious, kind, professional, and overall just an absolute gem of a person whose passion for his work shines through everything he does. His communication with us was consistent and timely every step of the way, which we truly appreciated. From our first meeting discussing our contract to our engagement photoshoot (where he somehow made us look flawless even in the Florida rain) to finally the day of the wedding, Mike (and our second photographer Tiffany) went above and beyond for us every step of the way. Our images truly speak for themselves, and I couldn't imagine having another photographer for my wedding. Hire Mike and he will actually make all of your wildest dreams come true!

Absolutely the best photographer you can hire. I get nervous when people take my picture, but Mike made it a flawless and fun experience. And our wedding photos are just stunning. Mike is such a kind and fun personality to work with, and you can truly see it through the photos he takes. Cannot recommend Mike enough!!!!

Mike is the greatest! I could not have asked for a better photographer to help capture outlet but day! I’m so happy with his work product and I would definetly recommend using him for your event and we will definetly be using him again for future photo ops!

My fiance and I are the awkward and shy, Star Wars and Harry Potter nerds type. So I was pretty nervous about taking engagement photos because we don't usually take a lot of pictures and are total photoshoot newbies. My friend recommended Mike, and I'm so happy we went with him! He gave us just the right amount of direction (i/e we needed a lot!) and the pictures turned out beautiful. He has a great eye for capturing the perfect light and adding creativity so that they don't look staged or stiff. This guy is a pro - I wouldn't want anyone else to photograph our upcoming wedding in June. Can't thank you enough Mike!!

I'm so glad Mike and his partner were our wedding photographers. My husband and I had unconventional wedding/elopement in California- Davenport/San Francisco/Napa. And Mike followed us whereEVER we wanted to go and took AMAZING photos. People love the pics. Everyone LOVES the pics. Including us, of course. Wouldn't have done anything different. Thanks, Mike!

If I could give Mike 100 stars, I would! Mike is hands down the best photographer any bride could ask for. Mike was super thorough when educating us on his different packages. After we booked with Mike, he was kind enough to meet with us face to face to learn about our styles and what we were looking for in pictures. He exceeded our expectations by far in the pictures that he delivered. Beyond being crazy talented, he was a champ during our wedding. My bridal party and I were running incredibly behind schedule and barely got to take any pictures ahead of the ceremony. Mike was so great to be sure to get all the photos we needed after the ceremony without cutting into our reception. While taking pictures, it started to pour and Mike was so dedicated that he stood in the pouring rain to make sure we had all of the pictures we needed of our special day. His patience, creativity, and clear passion for what he does, makes wedding day pictures enjoyable — and it shows in his work. We even received a number of photos within 24 of our wedding which was awesome to share on social media. My fiancé and I went on our honeymoon the very next day and had all of our pictures from Mike by the time we returned — now that’s an impressive turn around time! The best advice I could give any bride is to count on Mike for the most breath taking photos to capture your special day.

Mike did such a phenomenal job during a beach wedding, over a course of 4 hours. His work is amazing. Very professional and highly recommended to ensure a picture perfect capture of your special moment/s.

Ladies and gents, Mike is the real deal. We were one of the first weddings he shot and his photos were as beautiful and imaginative then as they are now. You won't be sorry if you choose him to be present with you on your special day. So talented, and totally dedicated to honing his craft. Keep up the amazing work Mike!!!

I seriously could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. Not only is Mike very talented and professional, but he is a wonderful person - which was very important to me since I was essentially inviting him to be a big part of my wedding day. I wanted my pictures to have a more relaxed/candid and “organic” feel. I had a 0% interest in cheesey poses, stiff bridal party/family shots, etc., and Mike really did take all of that into consideration. He listened to all of my ideas and delivered an amazing album with everything that I wanted. One of my concerns was being excessively pulled away from my ceremony to take pictures, and Mike made sure that did not happen. He took so many incredible photos of us during the ceremony without us having to leave the ballroom. We did take a few outside shots at night, but Mike did it quickly (and still got great pictures) so we could get back to enjoying our big day. Between three locations and nearly 200 guests, Mike was able to impressively capture everything I was looking for by himself (he did not work with a second photographer or an assistant for my wedding). In general, I do not love getting my picture taken and being the center of attention, but I now have beautiful wedding photos that I never tire of looking at. I am truly in awe of Mike’s talent and am very grateful to have found him.

We loved working with Mike. He went out of his way to see our wedding venue ahead of time and think about the best way to frame the photos. We really appreciated how he found interesting backdrops and considered lighting. He truly got to know us and created some incredible photos that really suited our personality. Plus, he's a fun guy!

Mike did an amazing job with our wedding! He not only captured the best moments, the images were works of art!

Mike is an amazing photographer! His work is absolutely breathtaking. He is great to work with and gave the VERY LARGE bridal party fun and awesome poses for all the pictures. He takes all the photos that you request for and so much more! Mike is extremely flexible and works with the bride and grooms needs. He made sure we got to cocktail hour on time even though the bridal party was late for church! He gives samples of his photos a few days after the wedding. Always great to get a sneak peak! I would highly recommend Mike to shoot your wedding!!

We hired Mike as our wedding photographer back in 2015. We were living abroad at the time, and Mike was willing to meet with us via Google Hangouts video chat and discuss all of the options and details. When we returned stateside, Mike met with us again to go over the final details. When the big day arrived, Mike was professional, fun, and always there to capture the most important and fun moments. Mike knew the best ways to organize family for portrait portion with very little time left at the church, as well as the bridal party photos portion. He was a master of balancing between getting the family photos we wanted and blending into the background and taking photos as the party continued. The final product also spoke for itself and we found it difficult to downselect the photos to make our wedding album. We loved the photos, the album, and working with Mike. He's an amazing photographer, easygoing and professional. Thank you for your help, Mike! I highly recommend Mike as a wedding photographer!

Mike made our wedding truly unforgettable. He is a master behind the camera and the finished product was even better than we expected. His attention to detail and ability to create a work of art out of two people is simply the best and we highly recommend Mike to any one who needs photos. Mike loves what he does and it shows in how he interacted with us for our photos. Thank you Mike!

Mike's great attitude and stunning photography make him the prefect choice to capture the magic of your wedding. Mike was the photographer at a longtime friend's wedding and I was impressed with how skilled he was - he has a true understanding of light. He went from shooting the beautiful ceremony outside (bright!) to the reception inside a castle (much darker & moodier, with lots of purple lighting) seamlessly. Mike's photos were clear and lit perfectly every time, despite challenging shooting conditions. Everything came out nothing short of breathtaking. He was also great at capturing candid & posed photos of guests at the reception - Mike is professional and friendly without disrupting the flow of the party. Do yourself a favor and book Mike for your wedding, you will definitely not be disappointed!!

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is he a talented photographer, but a professional through and through. He made the experience easy and memorable. His work is a mix of the traditional wedding shots and a more personal approach. He will work with what you want and don't want. If you you don't know what you want, he will offer guidance. I could not recommend Mike more.

Mike is an incredibly professional, polished photographer with an extensive portfolio of breath-taking portraits. His work stands for itself, but he is also extremely knowledgeable, personable and has an amazing rapport with clients. He puts people at ease and captures the beauty of couples effortlessly.

I met Mike in college, and I saw, and respected, his talent and dedication as a photographer throughout years of photography courses. So, when I got engaged, there was no doubt about which photographer I was going to call. Mike was simply brilliant. He didn't just take the standard pictures that you typically get at a wedding. He MADE great photographs by knowing where to be in order to capture the special, fleeting moments shared not just between me and my wife, but all of our guests. Mike knows how to cut through the joyful chaos of a wedding to find the stuff that makes for the BEST photographs.

Mike was a referral through my parents as a photographer. Now he is one of my dear friends. He took every little detail I asked for and took it above and beyond. My wedding pictures still give me chills and make me tear up. He got pictures of my guests, my family, my husband and I and above all got my first look with my father. I couldn’t speak highly enough about mike and his services. I wish I could get married every weekend and have him document it every time!
