Have you ever looked at a photo and instantly connected to it on an emotional level? Thats the type of work Michael and his team create. My wife and I knew selecting a photographer...
for our wedding would be difficult, I’m absurdly picky what can I say. By chance we ran into The Vibrant’s booth at a local expo and I knew instantly I had found the perfect match. Absolutely not your traditional wedding photos. They have vibrancy, are punchy, and each and every one not only tells a different story but is expertly crafted, planned, and executed. Not only are the photos absolute perfection, the humans behind the lens are the best. Very easy to work with, they bring a sense of calmness to your already stressful day, they have fun working, and you can tell they are true artists at heart that love what they do. Their services were by far the most important decision we made for our wedding, and I have not a single regret in making it. They will without a doubt be used for every single function that could possibly require any sort of documentarian. 10 out of 5 stars but some platforms dont recognize above and beyond satisfaction which is disappointing.

The Vibrant is the only choice I will ever make for any professional photography needs!! Met him while he was shooting for my sister’s wedding and we hit it off right away! Dude is...
an awesome guy and made me realize that a massive part of what makes a good photographer is their personality and ability to make you relaxed and feel comfortable. That is not to say that his photography itself isn’t any good because hot dang I’ve never been more blown away by photos before! We then asked if he could do engagement photos for myself and my wife. First photo shoot either of us had ever done and he made it such a fun experience and we’ll treasure the photos forever!!
We set our date for the wedding and it was pretty short notice but he still managed to make it work for us and we love going back and looking at the photos.
I cannot highly recommend Michael enough for the fantastic work he does, his great communication, and just being an awesome dude that’s a blast to hang around!

We are so glad we chose Michael as our wedding photographer. What stood out to us right away was his creative style. His photos have such a unique perspective and felt so different...
from the usual wedding portraits, which was exactly what we wanted.
On the day itself, he was fantastic to work with. He captured all the little intimate and personal moments without ever making us feel like there was a camera in our face. Honestly, half the time we forgot he was even there, and that’s what made the photos feel so natural and genuine.
When we got the photos back we were blown away. The portraits were beautiful and he also managed to catch so many amazing candid moments. Looking through them instantly brings us back to the day.

The Vibrant and Michael was absolutely the #1 best investment we made for our entire wedding! We are absolutely in love the every single picture he captured, but more importantly, ...
he solidified such incredible memories throughout our special day. We are so grateful for the presence and energy he brought to our big day, and we have had so many of our guests comment on how incredible he was. He made my husband and I feel so at ease while capturing moments so creatively. I felt like he made me look like myself and yet a more beautiful version with his eye for angles and color. What a blessing he has been throughout the whole wedding planning process and start to our married life! Minus our marriage, he was the best part of our entire wedding!

I thoroughly recommend him to anyone in need of professional photography for any event!

Wow! When I met Michael at a wedding expo, I knew he was the perfect wedding photographer for us. I was drawn to his vibrant, passionate, smiling, relaxed attitude and we hit it of...
f immediately! Then comes his work, and let me tell you, he is the photographer you NEED! Michael pushes creative boundaries and gave us works of art, not just photos.
I knew our photographer would be one of the biggest decisions for our wedding day because these photos last a lifetime and looking at them brings us right back into the best day of our lives. But not only did he capture these moments that will now live forever, he was the most helpful part of wedding planning too! He recommended our superstar videographer, he helped me plan out the wedding day with a timeline, and he rolled with any changes that came our way and made every moment fun and relaxed.
I could go on and on about Michael, his work, his talent, his personality but give him a call and I know you’ll feel that too. Best decision we could have made for the most special day of our lives! Thank you, Michael, you have big things ahead with all of your talent!! Can’t wait to use you for milestones in our future too!

We absolutely LOVED having Michael Escobar as our photographer. We would put a 100-star review if we could. His charisma and energy is infectious! Furthermore, he is not only a ...
photographer, but an artist and the pictures show that through and through. We highly recommend him, in fact many friends of ours who attended the wedding requested his contact because they plan on contracting him for their own weddings. He is also bilingual in English and Spanish which was something we specifically needed, so just an added bonus!

op. Besides being a wonderful person, our absolute favorite part about his work is his unique flair and creative eye, using interesting perspective and lighting to completely transform the photos. Both my husband and I feel like our vendors are what made our day feel so special-- we would choose Michael every time! No-brainer.

y. The fact that we had our pictures taken last week and we already have them back is AMAZING. Since it was a short ceremony, we had a two hour session booked, but Michael stayed late to ensure we had our wedding day captured in the best possible way. It is clear that he is a true artist and thought is put into every photo he takes. He did a great job of making us feel comfortable and it shows in the photos. I truly cant say enough good things and I am so happy that we have these photos to cherish forever.

ay, he made us and our entire wedding party feel comfortable and have fun during the photo sessions. He also did our engagement photos a few months before the wedding which were absolutely stunning! The turn around time to receive our photos was also very reasonable, especially during the busy wedding season. I would absolutely recommend Michael Escobar to anyone looking for a talented and charismatic photographer. You will not be disappointed!!

hoot with Michael and his wife was good for us because neither of us had ever been in a photo shoot before. He made it So Easy!! "Turn this way, look over there, I love this, wait there is something here, GIGGLES!" He captured us and Wilmington, the town we love to call home, perfectly. That also made it easier to trust that he would get all the shots we wanted before, during, and after the wedding. We didn't have to worry at all about the pictures, and any thing you don't have to worry about on the wedding day is a good thing. The whole day is a whirlwind and Michael was there through all of it, captured everything, and had as much fun dancing around and taking selfies as our guests did. We only asked for a few specific poses, and he nailed them. The rest was his own magic and we couldn't be happier.

dn't seem like a hired photographer, but a close friend who had known us for years. Their way of capturing those special moments and adding their own artistic touch, makes it so much easier to relive our special day. We could not thank Michael and Erin enough and we look forward to having them capture every other important moment in our lives. Simply put, they are amazing artist and do amazing work!

Michael is definitely not your run-of-the-mill photographer. The way that he uses lighting in his images is nothing short of magical. I wouldn't even categorize him as a photograph...
er. What he is capable of doing with a camera is more of an art form. He's also an expert at capturing candid and action shots, and seeing those moments on film was truly the icing on the cake for us.
Thank you, both, so very much for giving us such gorgeous photos that will always remind us of what a beautiful and special day this was in our lives.

y single detail weeks before our event and was nothing short of well prepared. He did not disappoint. He was on time, professional, and a pleasure to be around. I am not exactly the most confident person in the world and Michael made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and truly made me feel beautiful. His shots are creative and well thought out. I have had numerous brides comment on my photos and say they wish they had the variety of the portraits that he had done. Mike's photos are so far from "run of the mill". He does not take away from your wedding either, he strategically plans when to take posed photos and captures candid photos without people even knowing he's around! He even sent me previews of our wedding photos at 4 in the morning THE NIGHT OF OUR WEDDING! Not only is he an outstanding photographer, he is a GREAT person. Did I mention him and his (EQUALLY FABULOUS) assistant even carried my shoes when my feet were killing me, and helped me put them back on? I thoroughly enjoyed working with them, and every moment we took photos was FUN! Thank you Michael for being the BEST- if you are looking for a wedding photographer, I promise you, THIS IS YOUR GUY.

Michael Escobar photography is top notch and he's a true artist. I was expecting about 500 pictures and he far exceeded the number of pictures that were sent to us (about double th...
at with all black and whites). As an additional value add-on, he also created a slideshow with accompanying music. We thought we were going to regret not having a videographer, but the slideshow covered the whole day like it was a video of our day! He listened very well to what I wanted and the pictures requested. He also made sure to check on me throughout the whole day, asking if I was ok, if I needed anything. I was super impressed and extremely happy with the results. He's a true artist and did a great job giving us a diverse portfolio of photos with different angles.
