Sarasota Wedding & Family Photographer
Fourteen years, three hundred weddings, and a high tolerance for Gulf Coast rain. I photograph the moments you planned and the ones you didn't.
Michael Orzell Photography
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.
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.
