Photos By Michael U

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.
