About The LA Wedding Photographer

Michael

Wedding photographer

Wedding, engagement & proposal photography based in Los Angeles and available worldwide. With 20 years of photography experience, I bring a calm, easygoing approach to every wedding, knowing when to offer direction and when to let things happen naturally.

Michael has photographed Los Angeles weddings since 2005. The approach stays simple: elegant, guided portraits, the rest of the day photographed as it happens, and couple portraits at sunset when the light is best. Every collection includes a private online gallery, a sneak peek within 48 hours, the full gallery within two weeks and a personal print release. Proposal and engagement session fees are credited toward a wedding booked within 12 months, and Michael replies to every inquiry within two days.

Wedding collections start at $2,200 for Aperture (up to 5 hours, single photographer, 10 retouched photos), $4,500 for Golden Hour (up to 8 hours, two photographers, 20 retouched photos, engagement session included) and $7,200 for Heirloom (10 hours, two photographers, 30 retouched photos, engagement session and a fine-art album). Every collection includes all of your photos in a private online gallery and a personal print release.
You choose 10 retouched photos with Aperture, 20 with Golden Hour and 30 with Heirloom. Additional retouched photos are $50 each, and every photo from the day is delivered in your private online gallery.
A 10% deposit reserves your date. The balance is due 48 hours before the wedding, and payment plans are available. Send an inquiry first so I can confirm your date is open.
You get a sneak peek within 48 hours (Heirloom couples get a priority 24-hour sneak peek) and your full gallery within 2 weeks. Your gallery stays online for a year.
Golden Hour and Heirloom include one. Otherwise engagement sessions start at $600, and the full fee is credited toward any wedding collection booked within 12 months. If you already paid for a session with me and then book Golden Hour or Heirloom, that fee is credited instead of a second session.
Yes. Every wedding collection, and every proposal and engagement package, includes a personal print release.
Yes. Aperture is the elopement collection: up to 5 hours of coverage with a single photographer, from $2,200.
Los Angeles is home: Griffith Observatory and Griffith Park, the canyons, the coast and downtown LA. I'm based in Los Angeles and available worldwide.
The Session is $600: 1 hour, one location and 3 retouched photos. The Extended is $750: 2 hours, two locations or an outfit change and 5 retouched photos. Both include all photos in a private online gallery, a print release and travel.
One hour with The Session, or two hours with The Extended, which leaves room for a second location or an outfit change.
