If you prefer a natural photographer, you need to contact Mike! Mike was the BEST vendor choice I made. I knew about Mike because he shot my husband's cousin's wedding 2 years ago and I was IN LOVE with her photographs. I wanted to look around and not just book him without exploring my options, however nothing I found compared to the quality pictures Mike captures. Every picture looks like it should be in a bridal magazine. Even the staged pictures look natural! He is the most friendly man you'll meet and it made taking photographs very enjoyable. The price may seem expensive, but he is WELL worth it. If you want classic and timeless photographs of your wedding day do yourself a favor and book Mike! He only does a certain amount of weddings each year, so act fast!!

Mike went above and beyond to capture every moment of our day so beautifully! His work speaks for itself.. our photos are truly heirlooms that we'll treasure for many years to come. He was also a pleasure to work with during the planning process, and made posing for photos feel so natural (even for my husband!). There is definite sticker shock when planning a wedding -- but having Mike capture your day is an investment worth every penny.

Almost a year has passed, and we cannot begin to express how grateful we are to have such gorgeous photos to recount our wedding day. Of course, we only have Mike Cassimatis to thank for that! We know how tempting it is to save some money any chance you get when planning a wedding, but photography is NOT something that you want to sacrifice. After everything is said and done, all you have left is fleeting memories and the photography to bring them back to life. Make it count! Mike’s work is worth every single penny and so much more. Honestly, we had our eyes on Mike’s work for a few years prior to the wedding. His quality, style, and skills are unmatched, and we knew that we wanted him from the beginning. What we didn’t know is that Mike would be sooo much fun to work with. He made us laugh so much and made every moment absolutely memorable. Everything just felt natural and easy, no awkward poses or cheesy smiles. It truly felt like he was one of our close friends that just so happens to be crazy talented with a camera. We had such a blast!

Stop what you're doing and book Mike Cassimatis to photograph the most important day of your life. You most certainly will not be disappointed. Having Mike photograph our wedding day is one of our favorite decisions that we made for our big day. Mike not only is extremely talented -- his photographs are flawless, he pays close attention to every detail, and many of the photos simply make us tear up looking back to our magical day; Mike also has a truly wonderful, professional demeanor. Every request we had (which there were so, so many with fireworks, a dove release in the rain, a special first dance, etc.) he made happen while being positive, upbeat, kind and extremely easy to work with. Many of our family members even commented on how excellent he was. He's extremely organized and was able to help direct our family members through family photos efficiently, politely and calmly. We had a lot to capture on our wedding day with a lot of particular requests and moving pieces. Mike was able to capture everything so well and we couldn't be more thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out. He was flexible if timing changed for certain items too. One recommendation we have is to definitely do an engagement session. Mike took our photos for that too and it just gave us the chance to get comfortable with him before he was photographing one of the most meaningful days of our lives. We are always going to be so thankful for the memories Mike captured for us and we know he would do the same for you in a heartbeat!

I already knew Mike was crazy talented (that's why I booked him), but I didn't know what an awesome guy he was too. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable from the engagement shoot to the wedding day. He was easy to work with, flexible and provided (super fast) beautiful results! Our wedding party all commented on how talented he was, and fun to work with on the day of! Don't miss out on the chance to book Mike!

Mike is incredible. He was as amazing as we could ever have imagined in every way - the photos are beautiful, he made us comfortable and have fun (he is very fun!), and he worked seamlessly with all our other vendors. We felt like we could be ourselves around Mike, and he really captured our love!! He's the perfect mixture of professional and down to earth - the exact person you want around you on your wedding day! We truly cannot thank him enough.

We are so happy we chose Mike Cassimatis to photograph our wedding! Leading up to the wedding, we appreciated that he took the time to get to know us so that we would feel comfortable and at ease during the wedding day. And during the day itself, he had an uncanny ability to direct us in a way that made us feel natural and in our element. Looking at the photos now brings back wonderful memories of a very special day.
