Top 30 I thrive on making connections with people and learning their unique stories. Not only does it make life more interesting, but also makes me a better person and photographer. A lover of film photography in both colour and black & white, I appreciate the timeless quality it brings to my images, even in a digital world. I’m a closet romantic who embraces a semi-minimalistic lifestyle, except when it comes to my beloved camera gear. Whether I’m exploring new landscapes or immersing myself in a new culture, my camera is always by my side, ready to capture life’s precious moments.

We met Mike at an intimate wedding a couple of years ago and since then he has been a big part of our journey. He captured our proposal, our small intimate ceremony and most recently our destination wedding in Punta Cana and we couldn’t have been happier about having him on all these occasions. Mike is fun and easy going, yet professional and responsive. He was always available to answer our questions and ensured that he captured our love the way that felt like us!! If we could, we would give Mike 10 stars!! We can’t wait to have him capture our future milestones!
Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! He is super personable and very talented at his craft. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. I simply cannot recommend him enough.
Michael made a couple session with us on our honeymoon in Manila. We had so much fun together. Mike made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and soon we totally forgot that we are actually taking pictures and could relax. The pictures we got are amazing and we are so happy for this very special memories. Mike has an outstanding feeling for special moments and he as the right eye for beautiful details.
Thank you so much for these pictures Mike, we love them!

We hired Michael as our wedding photographer in Toronto, and it was one of the greatest decisions made. For those who are shy in front of the camera, Michael makes it extremely comfortable. His energy, professionalism, and guidance makes you at ease. He made us extremely comfortable, and photographing was a ton of fun with him. He is very communicative (on and off shoots) and very approachable. If you are unsure about where to do your photos, Michael likely has a list of locations already prepared because he takes a lot of initiative to research spots that would make a beautiful backdrop, while keeping in mind where you are located. One of my favourite memories is during our busy wedding day, Michael saw that the sun was setting, and snuck us out to capture us in golden hour. It just shows how detailed he is, and he truly focuses on his clients to give them the best possible experience. We cannot recommend him enough.
Where do I even start? I would highly recommend Mike to anyone and everyone. He is fun, creative, talented and professional. Prior to my big day, he reached out to take the time to genuinely learn about what my husband and I wanted captured over a video call. I am not sure if I am supposed to say this but he even sent us BBTs because he couldn't meet us in person over coffee. The meeting was very personable and fun. I have never met him before but saw some of his work on Instagram and actually fell in love his personality. At that moment, I was like he is the one! He didn't disappoint me when I met him in person a week prior to my wedding. He took the initiative to check on my husband and I and went through the agenda to ensure everything was smooth. When the day finally came, he made the day extremely fun and easygoing. My husband has never been a photogenic person and we are actually both awkward when it comes to taking pictures but his patience and use of analagies helped us bring our vision to life. Throughout the day and evening, he kept checking on us and reminded us to not look at the time and to enjoy the moment. He told us he was here because he wanted to. After the event, he even shared a nice teaser of a few photos. Wow, they were amazing! I had an idea of what I wanted but he blew my mind away. Oh, I do want to mention that I was really specific with my photoshoot location and he even took the time to scout it out to think through all thr different shots and angles he could take for us. Thank you Mike for everything!
Hiring Mike as our engagement and wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We are not a couple that is used to posing for photos, so we picked Mike because of the mix of candid and well-posed shots in his portfolio (other photographers' looked too posed). We also noticed that he included many shots of guest reactions throughout the day and this was something we like a lot: we wanted our photos to capture the ambience of the day and not just focus on us as the couple.
After we decided to proceed with Mike, we got to see his keen eye for detail and his skill in capturing beautiful moments in person. We especially appreciated how Mike gave us simple prompts and guidance on how to pose without us looking too rigid. Communicating with him was professional and easy, and he took the time and effort to get to know us as people, our vision for what we wanted in our photos - it felt like a good friend was taking care of us. He went above and beyond by doing a site visit with us in the week before the wedding day, where we walked through photo locations and did a rundown of the itinerary. During our engagement and wedding day shoots, his calm demeanour put us at ease and his photos captured exactly what we wanted and more: there were so many shots that made us go "wow" and also nicely captured our candid moments as well as our guests' reactions.

Working with Michael was such a joy for my engagement and wedding photos. He is really easy to get along with, and he made my husband and I feel so relaxed and at ease during our shoots. I love his style of photography. Michael is a fantastic person to work with, the quality of pictures you'll receive are downright amazing, and I can't wait to work with him again in the future!
Mike was our photographer for our Wedding in August 2022. He was very accommodating and photographed our wedding as we requested with plenty of natural shots. He was also very helpful with setting up and made me enjoy the wedding more and not worry about anything as a bride. He is a great person to work with and trust on your big day.
It's always an immense pleasure to work with Michael. We got to know him while he was doing product shots for our pastry shop. He's kind, funny, and immensely dedicated to his craft. We knew we had to hire him to capture our big day. We love every single shot he captured at our wedding. He has knack for putting people at ease and caught all the very best moments of the most important people in our lives. They're photos we will treasure forever. He's going to be our official photographer for all our big moments from here on out. Thank you Mike!!!
Michael is pure kindness in person and an incredibly talented photographer. He puts 100% passion in her work and it shows! My wife and I were on our honeymoon in the Philippines and Mike on vacation in South Korea and decided to spontaniously fly over to Manila and take after wedding photos of us. One of a kind!
