Mike was such an amazing part of our wedding day and he made the whole process so incredibly easy! We don't love getting our pictures taken and he totally understood and was the perfect balance of managing our large crew and not being intrusive on the special moments. He captured every bit of the day and I couldn't believe how many great shots we got.
He knew exactly how to get us to show our true selves and was so lovely to work with!

Mike was beyond amazing through the entire process. He was so helpful during the planning process and happily answered any questions I had. The day of Mike arrived ready to go and never wasted a minute. He truly caught every part of the day and the pictures not only told the story but are gorgeous. He truly knows how to take a candid photo! If you like portrait style photos he is amazing at that as well. He directed us how to stand, which way to face, how to place our arms, and went beyond to make sure sunlight did not interfere with the pictures. I hate taking pictures and Mike was great at making it feel natural and fun. We just received the pictures and we are in love. I would recommend Mike to anyone wanting a wedding photographer and wish I could give him more than 5 stars of praise!!

I cannot express enough gratitude and absolute JOY I had working with Mike for my wedding this October! From our initial meeting he made me feel assured that he could be counted on and that we wouldn’t look awkward or stiff. He knows just how to coach everyone to get a natural looking photo for the portraits, was magically in multiple places in once getting different shots without my knowing for some great candids, and he genuinely made the day more enjoyable with his humor and demeanor. He works quickly- we finished pictures ahead of schedule on the wedding day and he got my images to me faster than was promised. At the end of the day, the beautiful gallery I received speaks for itself. I’m so happy with my pictures and cannot recommend Mike or our second shooter Jay enough!

Bonus- his site is super easy to navigate for invoicing, payment, organized albums, shot list, etc. One of the easiest vendors to work with.

Mike created some of the most incredible and special engagement photos for us in our new home city of New Orleans, LA. He was easy going and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which neither of us usually is). He also suggested that we take photos in places that we  like to spend time together, so that we can look back on them later in life and reminisce on the memories we created here in New Orleans. We are more than pleased with his work and would recommend him for any engagement session or wedding!

Mike was very professional leading up to the date of the wedding and meeting him in-person the day of he was prompt and extremely friendly. There was no awkwardness of having our photos taken from him and he was very social and personable! Mike had us fill out a questionnaire and curated a game plan based on our specific wedding needs.

Our wedding was during the COVID-19 pandemic in October and precautions were followed, we felt very comfortable with our choice of Mike Lirette Photography. We highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for not only good photos in their photographer, but also a fun person to hang out with on the day of their wedding.

Sincerely thank you Mike from both of us- you're the best!

I can not speak highly enough about Mike’s professionalism and talent. During both our engagement and wedding day photo sessions Mike made us feel at ease allowing him to capture very natural moments that he highlighted through his artistic talent. My wife and I ended up postponing our April wedding to September and Mike was fast to accommodate our wedding date change. I definitely recommend using Mike Lirette’s services as he will do everything to make your wedding day carefree while capturing all the emotions and excitement of the big day for you to treasure!
