About Photos By Michael U

Photos By Michael U

Lead Photographer/Owner

This is all a dream. To annoy my wife (girlfriend then) I bought a $50 camera off of Ebay in 2019. When people started seeing my photos, they encouraged me to share them and almost immediately I was doing paid side jobs and hosting galleries. After a few years, I fell in love with having such a unique opportunity and made the decision to go full time. I refuse to be a niche photographer, life is too short! But I DO want to capture more weddings.

I work harder and longer, I'm told by wedding DJ's and venue staff. I don't settle for any shot, I am constantly moving and pivoting for unique angles and to surprise people with shots they don't even know I take. My name is on every photo and it's serious for me to try hard every time. However, I insist on everyone having a good time. Weddings are stressful and getting photos taken can be awkward. It is important to me that people feel as comfortable as possible. I cannot help my constant flow of dad jokes.I have been told at every wedding I do that people wish they had as much fun with their wedding photographer.

    Mike is fantastic! He truly has such a natural talent and it's clear that he's trained that talent over the years. He's such a joy to work with as well. He's very understanding and accommodating and he's a very genuine and fun guy to be around. He takes all the awkwardness out of having photos taken. I will always recommend Mike!

    I was first drawn to Michael’s beautiful landscape and cityscape photography, but came to realize that he was quite versatile in many aspects across the medium. His client and event photography is equally stunning and he holds his images to very high standards. While being rather obsessive about his craft he puts forth the maximum effort to produce a high quality result. Michael is an absolute joy to work and sure to leave you with a memorable experience and images that you’ll appreciate for a lifetime.

    Photos By Michael U were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day. From the start, Michael was kind, and patient, taking the time to understand exactly what we wanted. His communication was specific and thoughtful, and he brought a beautiful, personalized experience to our wedding. The quality of his work was impeccable, and he provided great value at an affordable price. I didn't have to worry about a thing, as Michael thought of every detail and went above and beyond my expectations. We are thrilled with the gorgeous photos that perfectly captured the joy and love of our wedding day.
