    We had the best experience with Mike! He did our children birthday parties and outdoor baby photoshoots . He was on time, professional, and very interactive with children. I cant imagine anyone else doing a better job! He also made sure everyones face was visible when taking the large family picture at the end of our parties. He remembered the little details we shared about what we prefer in our cultural wares and poses. He gave us all the raw and edited pictures through an online link and as well as in a high quality flash drive for the same price. I would definitely recommend him to anyone! My family also really liked him too, and thought we did a great job in choosing our photographer.

    It was a great pleasure working with Mr. Michael. He was very patient, friendly and dedicated to his work. He was hired for my daughter’s first birthday party. He was there before time to see the location. We had the best quality pictures from him. He completed the work on time as we spoke. Will hire him again. I would highly recommend him. My entire family loved his photography.

    I really enjoyed working with him for my bachelorette party at the rooftop pool. Even though It was little inconvenient for him to have to wear bathing suit and act like my guest, he was very cooperative to achieve what has to be done. His quote was very reasonable and he gave me edited photos along with original one the following day. Very express service and professional, chrystalclear touch on photos and very responsible photographer. I asked him to take both set positioned pictures and paparazzi style, which he did more than what i asked for. I am glad i went with him for my party.

    Michael was an amazing photographer and a pleasure to work with! Aside from being very responsive, Michael was flexible and early to both the shoot and event. We did an outside photo shoot and an in door event and Michael was able to accommodate all of our requests. His turnaround for pictures and editing was fast and all of our guests loved his pictures when we used them as centerpieces for an event. It was a pleasure to work with Michael and I highly recommend him.

    Frequently asked questions

    Good communication is always essential to successful photo and video projects. We make it a point to speak with every client, to understand exactly what is wanted, and we always offer ideas and suggestions. We also keep in close touch throughout the completion process, which is especially important on video editing projects, when there are many options for finishing the video.

    I have more than 30 years expereince as a video director/producer, and as a photographer. I've taken mnay creative courses in film, video and photography, and I frequently attend techicnal semainars to keep current with cameras' lighting equipment, software, and more.  When we work on larger projects, all team members have at least 15 years experience in their speciality.

    Our pricing for all our sevices - video recording. video post-production, still photography, live streaming and more - varies, depending on the size of the project, how much time it will take, what equipment and people are needed, and whether there are any additional costs, such as travel and per diem expenses. We understand that clients are looking for good value for their money, and we always provide excellence, cost-effectively. We try to work within a client's stated budget, and we provide prompt, detailed, price quotes.

    We have worked with many customers, large and small - individuals, companies, government agencies, the United Nations, and non-profits.

    If you're looking for a photographer, here are a few suggestions: specify the date(s) you want photography. It's very hard to reply to a request when I don't know the exact dates. I may already be booked for a specific day, whether it's a couple of days away or 8 months in the future. Also, speak with any photogrpahers whom you're consdiering, so that you know a little more about them, and they can understand exactly what you're looking for. A good photographer will always ask you questions about your shoot. Finally, while you should certainly consider price, don't make the price quoted the only deciding factor. In photography, as in most things in life, you get what you pay for.

    It's very important for clients to let us know the date(s) they have in mind for their photo and video projects. When Clients tell us that they are not sure of the dates our sevies will be required, we very often have to delcine to provide a cost quote for that job, because we may already be booked. It's also importanet for clients to be realistic about what they are looking for. We provide excellence in all the work we do, but a longer event, or one requiring extra crew members and equipment, is going to cost more than a basic project. We're always competitive on price, but good quality - for example taking time to carefully edit all photos befor delivery to our clients - takes time, and does cost a bit extra.
