Sarasota Family & Wedding Photographer

I’m Michael, a Sarasota photographer for families, weddings and engagements. Family sessions happen at Siesta Key, South Lido and Phillippi Estate Park, and I keep them relaxed. We usually start with a walk, so everyone loosens up before I ask for anything. Some of my favorite frames are the ones where the kids are just having fun and ignoring me. Not sure where to go? My guide to family photo locations in Sarasota covers each spot. Read more on my Sarasota family photography page or see family session pricing. Weddings and engagements are still a full part of what I do, and they get the same easy approach.

My approach blends modern imagery with timeless storytelling all with a touch of humor. I focus on capturing the big moments, and the ones you didn’t even realize were happening.

From quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the celebration that follows, I document genuine emotion, natural connection, and the details that make your day uniquely yours. I work with couples who value candid moments and timeless photos that will still feel beautiful 30 years from now.

Where to start

If you're planning a wedding here, the Sarasota wedding page has coverage, pricing, and an honest note on what I'm not the right fit for. If it's family photos, the family session page covers the beaches and parks worth booking and what an hour with small children actually looks like. If it's headshots or an event for work, the corporate headshots page has per-person pricing and what a weekday session actually looks like.

And if you're comparing photographers, which you should be, the questions worth asking any of us is the guide I'd hand a friend. It includes the ones that don't favor me.
