About Michael

15 years of film.
Now for your day.

I've been a commercial filmmaker for over 15 years. That background shapes everything about how I photograph weddings — I think in sequences, not single frames. I wait for the story to unfold.

I don't direct scenes. I don't ask you to pose. I observe, I wait — and when the moment comes, I'm ready.

My approach

Unobtrusive.
Always ready.

  • 02 A filmmaker's eye15 years of commercial filmmaking taught me to tell stories in images – not just document them.
  • 03 You relax because I doMy calm presence carries over. Your guests forget the camera – and that shows in the pictures.
