About Me
It's about helping you get totally immersed in a day with your person and trusting in me to capture every single moment the way it comes, organically.
Climb that boulder. Chug that beer. Ugly Cry.
Most of all, have the time of your life.
While I will softly direct you for certain photos, I'm mostly a photojournalist when it comes to wedding photos. That table decoration you made yourself, a hug from a family member, your bling finger or handwritten vows...I've got my eye on every part of the day.
To me, it's more than just taking your photos.
"Scrolling through my gallery I was constantly thinking "Man this guy was ALL OVER THE PLACE". All of this to say, Mike was the perfect photographer. He made us feel so comfortable, captured all our special moments (there's so many that I don't even have a favorite), was an incredible communicator and the pictures are beyond beautiful "
"If you have ever gotten prof pics done, you know how awkward it can be and let me just tell you - Mike squashes all the awkward with his talent. He took me to a place he shoots at a lot that he knew would match my style. He told me where to stand and how to pose. I am obsessed with the way the pictures turned out and am sooo glad I did the bridals with him. Moving on to the wedding day, Mike was exactly where he needed to be at all times. With one man, he was able to do it all with excellence. Getting ready pics, first look, group pictures, ceremony, family pictures, reception, and exit pictures.
Words from Friends
Britney + Jake
Here for the big moments +everything in between.
"Mike was an absolute blast to shoot with! Got to catch a killer sunrise, climb over boulders and basically use RMNP as our own personal playground. We don't get in front of a camera very often, but Mike made us feel comfortable and at ease right away, like we were all just hanging out for a day in the mountains."

Packages
Whether it's just the two of you or some of your closest friends and family,
I'm here to make your day unique - just the way you are.
US Weddings and Elopements include timeline guidance, custom add-ons, and prints with every package.
Inspired by many of the great NYC film photographers that paved the way for candid portraiture, you can consider me your personal paparazzi for the day.
My absolute main goal is for you to have your dream photography experience, and having unique photos that highlight that memory is a close second.
While I do shoot posed portraits during the day, whether it's just you and your babe, or a group photo with family, posing is an unnatural occurring event. When is the last time you went for a walk together and stopped to stand stiff and smile? Exactly.
My way of shooting ensures that you not only ENJOY yourselves in in the moment, but also receive the "behind the scenes" look at you having the best day of your life.
