Bringing his professional experience with fashion and celebrity photography into the wedding itself, Michael’s style of shooting is fun, calm and relaxed - all with the intent of keeping his subjects the same.

Michael’s passion is to tell stories with images to last generations. Always chasing those special moments, he possesses a photojournalistic style that will capture your special day with spontaneity and clarity.

Michael shoots a combination of digital and classic film cameras and has photographed talents such as Matthew McConaughey, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera and others.

Wedding commissions have taken him on assignments to Jamaica, Morocco, Italy, Mexico and Israel. Additionally, his wedding images have appeared in publications including Vogue, People, and Martha Stewart Weddings.

When not taking photos you can find Michael on a tennis court or skateboarding with his kids. He lives in Santa Monica with his wife, two boys and golden doodle.
