    I wanted to write an update as our wedding has now passed. Mike shot both our engagement photos and our wedding. Mike and his second shooter, Nick, made us feel so comfortable and calm the entire day. He directed us with ease. He took the most beautiful photos for us to remember our wedding day forever. Mike was so much fun to work with. His professionalism and confidence is unmatched and made our wedding day absolutely amazing. He really makes you feel relaxed on a day that could be very high stress. He keeps the shots moving without making you feel rushed. Oh - and he's pretty awesome at photography too! He captured our happiness and love so perfectly and his photography style captured us as us. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I am so happy he was part of our wedding day!

    I have been following Mike's events page on Instagram for a couple of years now. I had always hoped that I would be privileged to book a session with him one day. I was excited when my husband and I found out we are expecting our first child because I already knew Mike was the one I wanted to book my maternity photo session with. I sent an inquiry through Mike's website one night, and he reached out to me the very next morning. He is very transparent and professional. He was so patient and prompt in addressing all of my questions and bringing certain locations and concerns to my attention when trying to narrow down a location for our photo session. He also talked me through the color scheme that my husband and I wanted to wear for our session to make sure the colors didn't clash with the surroundings at the session location. We admired how open he was to my ideas and suggestions when it came to our photo session. He came with his lovely assistant, who was so helpful and made sure that my husband and I looked our very best for each pose. We loved Mike and his assistant's willingness to make this special time in our loves so memorable. We have an upcoming event in the new year and look forward to having Mike and hopefully his assistant there with us to celebrate and capture the event with our family and friends.

    Don't question it, you must book Mike for your wedding and photography needs! He is so attentive and committed to what he does and we will for sure continue to book him in the future! I met Mike at the Loft .84 show last January. This was my first bridal show and I was a little overwhelmed by how many vendors and services I realized I still needed to book for my October 2022 wedding. I was a little bummed by the feeling but no joke, the second I met and talked to Mike, I knew he was the one for our wedding. He made me feel so comfortable and the fact that he was willing to shoot our wedding which happened to be on his birthday meant so much to me. From our initial consultation, to our engagement session, all the way through our wedding, Mike answered every question and made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole experience. We had such a tight schedule with hosting our ceremony in my hometown to driving all the way to Menifee for our venue, but Mike was onboard and offered suggestions that honestly made the whole day run so smooth. He was so receptive and friendly with our other vendors and it was so heartwarming to see. To top it off, rain decided to bless us on our special day! A full rain storm, but the images Mike captured while we were waiting for the rain to stop are now some of our favorites and the perfect touch to my dream "Twilight" wedding! I cannot stress this enough, book Mike so you can continue to relive all your beautiful, core memories!

    Mike is a professional at what he does! We did a Muay Thai/Athletic shoot and the pictures turned out amazing! I have to admit I was a little nervous because I haven't done this type of a shoot before but Mike made me feel 1000% comfortable and was completely honest with me throughout the entire process. He gets so creative as far as switching gears in order to accommodate myself and the surrounding/environment in order to make the portraits "pop." For those who know me, know that I am a SUPER stickler on customer service and Mike beyond exceeds my expectations. I HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone who wants their portraits to turn out amazing, memorable, and more importantly done exactly the way you want!

    WE are blessed to have Mike as our photographer!! He is an amazing person, professional, kind, enthusiastic, and a master at what he does! We found Mike through IG as we were scrolling through. It was also to our surprise that he had been roommates in the Marines with one of my close friends from back home. Small world!! When booking our wedding photo session with Mike, he was very easy to talk to. He was straight forward, provided suggestions, and was very responsive to our needs. When we finally got to taking pictures, Mike made us feel very comfortable and provided the guidance that we needed. He was very professional and was very detail oriented. The pictures were finished within the same week and the quality was outstanding! The photos were vibrant and telling. If you need someone for a photo session, Mike is the one to call!! We can't say enough positive things about him. We hope to work with you in the future Mike!! Cheers!

    My name is Sylvia owner and lead designer at Forever His Flowers. I had privilege of working with Mike and his team at a recent wedding. Him and his guys were very kind and professional! Super easy to work with as we worked behind the scenes to help make this a special day! Receiving the photos was the icing on the cake! He captured every piece of this lovely day so beautifully!!! Our flowers never looked better

    Mikey is an INCREDIBLE photographer. He made my husband and I, our family, and our guests so comfortable throughout the day. He came with various ideas and props to really capture the magic of the day. Mikey brings TRUE PASSION to the day. He tries to make every shot a 10 out of 10. His editing and delivery was also perfect and fast. The photos were not over-edited, they look beautiful and natural. Also special shoutout for LGBT+ clients, he made my husband I so comfortable and natural in front of the camera! We are over the moon with how good our wedding photos look!

    I've had the greatest time with Mike and Dolly with my photoshoot. Absolutely no doubt about it, he's an amazing photographer. If you don't believe me, look at these pictures. My girlfriend Welney mentioned a while back that me and her don't have a lot of photos with each other. And if we did, it would be "phone quality." Which I get it, it's fast, easy, and yeah it's whatever. But I decided, you know, if we are going to get good pictures, I know a guy. The photos are one thing to consider, but of course the experience with Mike is something to mention. You'll without a doubt, be comfortable with this guy. Funny, easy going, and quick. Down to earth and understanding, I mean what's not to like! Lastly, I want to point out that Mike loves what he does. During these crazy times, you can see that this is what he loves to do. There are a lot of photographers out there and I get it, it's hard to pick. But please, seriously consider Mike being your photographer.

    I have known Mike for a very long time. He is the go to photographer of my nursing friends when they graduated from nursing, got engaged and got married. I always look at their photos and admire how good their photographer/videographer is. So when I got engaged, I knew I had to book Mike. His fees are reasonable and he will work with you all throughout. I had to postpone my wedding once due to personal reasons but he accommodated the changes we made and worked with us. I also changed my venue at least a couple times due to me being indecisive on where should the wedding take place. He gave us recommendations, advices and shared his expertise on this matter. Eventually, we decided to do the wedding in Laguna Beach, which by the way was very stunning. He helped us source the best place that is not crowded. He came very early and directed us throughout the shoot. My fiancé (now husband) is not used to being photographed but I can see he was very comfortable with Mike and was willingly took directions on how the picture could be better captured. The sneak peak came out really fast and beautiful. We cannot wait to book Mike again for another occasion. You won't regret booking him, he made our day extra special!

    MIKE IS TRULY A GEM. We are obssessed with his work and all around persona. Our wedding day was perfect and Mike played a huge role in that. Not a single photo from our list was missed. His work ethic and passion for making his clients dreams come true is beyond anything we've seen. Throughout our (12 hr) day our guests complimented us non stop on Mike. We recieived our sneak peaks in less the 24 hours and our jaws dropped. Thank you for everything Mike, we found our photographer for a life time.

    Mikey was our wedding photographer. He was referred to us by our videographer and so glad we listens to their recommendation. Mikey was thorough in asking all the pre-wedding questions (e.g. what my day would look like, special moments we'd want to capture, etc.). He also answered my photographer-related questions I had as a bride. I wanted to capture my large family and medium-large guest count with myself and my hubby in a timely manner. He had great suggestions for family photos and table photos! They worked well into our wedding day and were smooth. The day of, Mikey was prompt, prepared and left me with nothing to worry about. He coordinated with my maid of honor and best man and I didn't have to worry about missing out on any photos. He had a second shooter, who was also just as professional and friendly. They were a great duo and worked will my videographer's team. Great to see he and his partner work well and for him to work well with my other vendors. Mikey was so friendly, professional and took photos without being in the way of the party. My guests even thought he was apart of my family because he was just as friendly and a part of us. Our photos were amazing! So many to choose from and so many categories. He even took special photos we won't forget about (e.g. my hubby and daughter photo, a photo outside our reception and his AMAZING veil photos)!! Mikey was definitely a huge part of our wedding day. We're super thankful to have worked with him and would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks Mikey!

    Without a doubt, Mike is an awesome photographer. I'm still pretty camera shy, Mike makes his models feel comfortable and his sense of direction makes you look your best. He also knows a lot of great locations to shoot at. I have two to three sessions a year with him. Wish I could have more. Excellent quality prints. Sessions are fairly quoted.

He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is saying a lot since my husband hates being photographed. On the wedding day, he captured everything--big moments and small details--without ever feeling intrusive. The photos came out absolutely stunning. The lighting, angles, and candid shots were beyond what we imagined. Looking through our gallery truly felt like reliving the entire day. Turnaround time was quick, and the final images were beautifully edited without looking overdone. We've received so many compliments from family and friends.

He took some family pictures for us earlier on in his career and did a beautiful job. He also took pictures for our son's graduation and did a fun video session for him at the gym. We've had pictures taken by a few companies /individuals and have been let down. I recently moved to Nebraska, had family pictures taken at a studio and was very disappointed. Anthony has really set the bar high for us and is our definitely favorite photographer. He will guide you if you don't know what to do and he will travel to any location to get the shot you want. Don't hesitate to book your next event, photo, video or even a casual night out. You won't regret it. Looks like we will have to fly him out to Nebraska for another family photo at our new house.
