Hiring Adam Michaels for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during the entire planning process. We had the pleasure of working with both Adam and Jade, who served ...as our second photographer. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also down-to-earth, professional, and fun to be around. We felt instantly comfortable with both of them.
As the bride, I had more direct interaction with Adam, our main photographer. Our package included an engagement session, which I highly recommend to anyone booking a wedding photographer. It helped my now-husband and me get comfortable in front of the camera, better understand posing, and ease our nerves ahead of our wedding day. Adam was the perfect guide throughout–he broke the ice right away and somehow managed to make us look and feel natural in every one of our engagement photos.
On the wedding day, Adam joined me in the bridal suite for the “getting ready” photos, while Jade headed to the grooms’ suite (Jade also perfectly arranged our “wedding details,” which captured so so beautifully). Adam’s presence was so calming–he was personable, friendly, and made everyone in the bridal party feel at ease. He even went out of his way to help my mum give instructions to an out-of-town guest who had gotten lost. He was so patient on the phone, and my mum still talks about how amazing Adam was during that moment.
Both Adam and Jade have a remarkable eye for capturing “the shot.” They were clear at directing us, keeping things on schedule, and making sure we got all of the photos we wanted–posed, candid, between us, with our wedding party, with our families, at the ceremony, at the reception, and every moment in between. They handled our families and group shots with ease and grace, ensuring that everyone felt comfortable and included.
Finally, the photos came back more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We received our photos in both color and black and white, which added a timeless flair to our pictures. Thanks to Adam and Jade, we now have an album of memories we will treasure forever.
TLDR; if you’re looking for photographers who are not only incredibly talented but also genuine, thoughtful, and true professionals, Adam and Jade are the perfect choice. Thank you both for capturing our day so beautifully–you truly made our wedding even more special!
