I've shot hundreds of portrait sessions, dozens of weddings and events, and all sorts of stuff in between. I'm a pretty calm and relaxed guy, but I happily step up to take charge and give direction when the time is right. If there's one thing my clients say about me across the board, it's that I give my all to deliver the best experience possible from our very first meeting all the way through to the delivery of your final images.

I love my clients, their love stories and their events. I love the connection that we create through the process of photographing your event, but most importantly I’m super grateful for the friendships that are born during that process.

Hello. My name is Michael and I'm a Raleigh NC based, internationally and locally published photographer who loves to travel. I bought my first camera back in 2008 and it changed my life forever.
Over the years, I've photographed various landscapes, musicians, presidential candidates, multicultural weddings, corporate events, Broadway shows, and portraits all across the US and Europe. My images have been displayed on the big screen at Time Square in New York as well as appearing on the BBC and broadcast throughout the UK by the Sky Network.
Photography has taken me places I've never dreamed of being. From hanging out backstage with the likes of Ringo Starr, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and John Cleese while shooting concerts and Broadway as house photographer for one of the top theater venues in the nation, to photo assignments, workshops, and personal projects from Hawaii to the UK.
