Rockford Wedding Photographer

It’s about time. Twenty years from your wedding day, the pictures will take you back to every moment you recall, and perhaps many more you’d thought you’d forgotten. It’s my job to help you remember. My name is Mike Hope, and I’ve done this for a while. I started shooting weddings 15 years ago. The years add up–in a good way. Every wedding is different, but some things stay the same: the intimacy; the hidden moments; the celebrations. However you wish to honor each other, I’ll be there. I’ll document it. And you’ll have something to look back on for the rest of your lives together.

frequently asked questions Do you speak languages besides English? Yes! I can support weddings in English, Spanish, French, or German. Why wedding photography? I like being a part of one of the best days of most people’s lives. It doesn’t matter whether that puts me among 1000 guests in a packed reception hall or in an intimate elopement with just the couple. I love it all. I shot my first wedding more than 15 years ago and every part of the process still makes me want to get up and go to work each morning. Simply put, I think weddings are wonderful, messy, brilliant things. I’d like to be a part of yours.
