Capturing the Story: Authentic, Clean, and Timeless Photography
There’s a magic to photography that transcends the captured image. It’s the ability to bottle up a fleeting moment, a genuine expression, a story waiting to be told. As a photographer, I believe my role is to become a silent observer, a witness to life’s unfolding narratives. My name is Mike, and my passion lies in creating authentic, clean, and timeless photographs that resonate far beyond the click of the shutter. In a world saturated with filters and artificial perfection, I strive for a different kind of beauty – one rooted in authenticity. My photographs aren’t about creating a fabricated reality; they’re about capturing the essence of a person, a place, or a moment in all its genuine glory. I believe the most captivating images are those that showcase the real you, your unique spirit, and the emotions that color your world.

“We LOVE Mike!!! He was so beyond incredible at our wedding. Planning was a breeze with him and he made us so comfortable in front of the camera.”

It’s the little moments that can mean so much! I loved photographing this interaction between Meaghan and her son on her wedding day.

Took a little road trip to Brooklyn for Erik & Lynn’s engagement session. We found some really neat graffiti, some we knew about and others we just happened to stumble across. Also, finally got to check the Brooklyn Bridge off my bucket list 🙂

I love the fall! Spending with Mitch & Steph at Harkness Park was such a fun time. Even got to hang out with their 2 pups and see Christine whose wedding photographed a few years ago!

A beautiful wedding this past Sunday at @tyde_walnutbeach It might have been a little windy but the rain stayed away for us! Congratulations to you both and thank you for having me be a part of your big day!
Side note if anyone is wondering the last photo is an in camera double exposure, no computer wizardry.

Congratulations Anand & Keanna!! These two had a beautiful fall day for their wedding. I was fortunate enough to get to spend the two days leading up to their ceremony photographing the Mehndi & Puja. Have a great time on your honeymoon!
