    Engagement photos & wedding photography

    Michael is so easy to get along with and takes the awkwardness out of taking professional photos. He is SO talented and you are guaranteed to love your photos. Our photos are so unique and capture both our relationship and all of the fun that took place at our wedding. I am so thankful for Michael capturing moments we can look back on over the years and remember how beautiful our wedding day was. We could not be happier with our wedding photos and we are so happy we chose to book Michael and trust him with our big day!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michael David. He was extremely professional and accommodating. He took the time to make the images I envisioned come to life. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing photos for their engagement, wedding or private event.

    When I began planning my wedding I knew one of, if not THE most important thing was to capture each and every special moment- which meant I needed to find a great photographer. After contacting Michael David initially, I could tell it was already a match. The way he described his love for documenting weddings and the love between husband and wife was what initially spoke to me. He focused more on capturing the moment, then staging the moment... which was also really important and what I wanted my photos to reflect years down the line. Day of the wedding, Mike + team was SO SO attentive. Literally the nicest group of people, truly focusing on each and every detail of the day. Throughout the night Mike would go out of his way to ensure my husband and I were 100% satisfied, and this was more than just with our photography (asking if he could fill up our drinks or if we needed anything, etc). ABOVE AND BEYOND. Truly blew my expectations out of the water. AND, although we havent yet got our photos back, Mike would show us a few periodically throughout the wedding day/night to give us a glimpse of what was being captured... (of course leaving us anxiously wanting more and waiting for the day that we get to see all of the photos!!)
    Needless to say, Mike is your guy. He is detail oriented, prompt, so kind and attentive and truly will exceed your expectations. He is the BEST!!! I am so grateful we got to share our wedding day with him!

    My husband and I cannot say enough about Mike. He is amazing at what he does and he has an eye like no other. His pictures always come out beautiful and it really doesn't matter where you are when he captures your photo it always comes out amazing. Upon meeting Mike for the first time, he greeted us with hot chocolate and was very friendly and made us feel at ease. It did not take long for us to make the decision to go with Mike. Our engagement session was very fun and flew by. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made us laugh the entire time. On our wedding day he was very attentive and captured everything we asked for. He even added last minute ides like a beautiful shot of just my husband and I in a church pew and it came out absolutely gorgeous like out of a magazine. Mike is very prompt with answering e-mails and phone calls. I will admit I did experience some wedding panic moments in the last two weeks before the wedding and Mike helped me threw it all.

    Mike is AWESOME! The photos were an important aspect of the wedding for me, and I agonized over the decision. We met with Mike twice before officially booking him for our wedding. He answered and addressed all of our questions and concerns, as well as put my mind at ease. The quality of his pictures speak for themselves. They are beautiful, dynamic, candid, and captured all the beautiful, wonderful moments of our wedding. I can’t stop looking at them! Mike was a pleasure to work with. He is fun, considerate, genuine, and kept us laughing with his great sense of humor. I would highly recommend him to any couple looking to have the perfect pictures for their special day.

    Booking Mike to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. I'm a TV producer and was very nervous about selecting a photographer and videographer for the big day. Just ask my husband who had to sit through my endless questions during countless interviews with vendors! One of the first things we noticed about Mike was his passion. He truly loves what he does -- and it shows! Thumbing through his portfolio, we instantly fell in love with how he captured emotion and his eye for candid shots. We also loved how vibrant and crisp his photos were. We also did an engagement shoot with Mike back in February in Jamestown. We live out of town and specifically flew in for the shoot. As luck would have it, it rained the entire weekend. Since our selected site for the shoot was outdoors, Mike quickly came up with a list of alternate sites. But our original location had sentimental value so he told us he'd be willing to shoot in the rain as long as we were game. So, we did our engagement shoot in the rain...and it poured! But it turned out to be one of the most memorable days. And our photos from that day are so unique. It's a testament to Mike - he's willing to do whatever it takes to get the best shots. When it came to our wedding -- Mike captured traditional photos but also looked for more creative angles and moments throughout the day. At one point he even broke out dancing with my Mom! (My family loved him!) We are so grateful we found someone as talented, passionate and creative as Mike. And we feel like we made a lifelong friend in the process.

    We couldn’t have been happier about having Mike as our wedding photography. From start to finish, he was responsive, attentive, flexible, and fun! Mike took absolutely beautiful photos of our wedding and he even photographed our pre-wedding tailgate in lieu of engagement photos. Since we planned our Boston wedding long distance, we were unable to meet Mike until the day before our wedding but we clicked with him immediately. On the day of our wedding, Mike was constantly checking in with my husband and me to make sure we were ok and to remind us that the day was about us, and to do what we wanted to do! Our wedding party and guests also raved about how great and fun he was. Mike worked with us to design a custom photo package that suited us and our budget, which was very a big relief after talking to many photographers whose set packages did not cut it. I would definitely recommend Mike to anyone looking for a great wedding photography in the Boston area!

    Michael was a pleasure to work with throughout the wedding planning process. He is so friendly, energetic and full of enthusiasm. Upon meeting him, you will be reassured that you have picked the ideal photographer for the job! Mike truly understands the value of love, friends and family (he is madly in love with his wife), which I think is very important, because he knows exactly what to look for when shooting couples. He makes great recommendations for pictures, and really captures the true moment. As a photographer, he makes you feel very comfortable as well, which is very important! I am so thankful I found Mike and we had him for our wedding. Our pictures are so special and came out SO AMAZING. I couldn't be happier and I can't say enough great things about Mike and his dedication. He stayed much later than he committed, just to finish getting more great shots. You get your money's worth with Mike - he's one of the top wedding photographers around. THANK YOU MIKE!

    We are so lucky we hired Michael Spirito to photograph our wedding day! Mike is fantastic to work with, he personally cares for his clients and truly goes above and beyond. His work speaks for itself, it's absolutely breathtaking. We are so pleased with how wonderful it was to work with him on our wedding day, he made it so easy and we love how our pictures turned out. In addition, Mike has been extremely responsive to any questions we've had leading up to the wedding and even a month later regarding our albums. One of the best choices we made was hiring Mike! We can't thank him enough!

    When I began planning our wedding I knew that one thing I really wanted was an amazing photographer. I am quite shy so I needed someone who made me comfortable enough to look natural in pictures. Mike exceeded all of our expectations. During every meeting he was friendly and genuinely cared about you and your ideas. He is funny and can certainly make anyone laugh or do whatever he is looking for to get that amazing shot that he is envisioning. Throughout our wedding night he was attentive to us, always making sure we had anything we needed. He went above and beyond as not only a photographer but he became a friend through this process. I have already recommended him to friends as they plan their events and will continue to recommend him to anyone that will listen! Thanks again Mike for making our day even more amazing and for capturing our special moments in pictures that will last a lifetime!

    Mike was a joy to work with. He was very professional and responsible and had a great personality throughout the whole process which is very important to have as a photographer. He took amazing pictures and had our entire album back to us faster than we could blink. It was truly amazing! Mike comes very highly recommended in our book! He's the best.

    Mike simply put, is outstanding at what he does! He has a way of making you feel really comfortable and at ease. Mike also has a fantastic personality and knows when to hit you with a joke to make you laugh to capture the shot! He is also super easy to work with and always accommodating! He always makes you feel like you are the most important thing that is going on at that moment. Personally, I don't think you could have a better photographer! I received SO many comments about how fantastic Mike was after the wedding from a number of our guests who found him not only very memorable and fun, but that he went above and beyond in so many ways. Aside from marrying my husband, Mike was the most memorable part of the day for me! He made everything seem easy, effortless, and captured every special shot and moment. I can't say enough good things about him! I can't imagine not having Mike as our photographer! Mike made the day that much more special for us!

    My husband and I were lucky enough to meet Michael when he shot a family wedding two years ago. To say he does an amazing job is STILL an understatement. Michael is phenomenal. He is easy to work with, easy to talk to, and works with you on your budget to ensure you get the package you need. It rained all day on our wedding last week, and although we still had the time of our lives, we did not get any outdoor shots. Michael offered to take us out as soon as we could to shoot some outdoor photos, free of charge. Those photos came out beautiful, and it was completely worth it to get all dressed up again. I will recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for ANYTHING from this point on!! Thank you Michael!!

    Where do we even begin? We cannot say enough amazing things about Mike. Mike is like your long lost best friend, the high school comedian, & the best photographer ever all wrapped into one! Mike was recommended to us by a friend (also a photographer) who went to photography school with him. He came highly recommended & after being thoroughly impressed by his website, we gave him a call. Mike was enthusiastic and extremely accommodating. When he says his main goal is to make his clients happy, he means it! We live in New Haven, CT & Mike is out of Warwick, RI. Our wedding was planned to be in Old Saybrook, CT but he was willing to travel & even meet us face-to-face before we decided to hire him. We were looking for a photographer with a journalistic style instead of the traditional posed photos & Mike was a perfect match. We hit it off immediately & actually sat in Starbucks for close to 2 hours talking about what we were looking for, our story, his story, and everything in between. We hired him on the spot. We contracted to get 10 hours of coverage with 2 photographers & customized the album we received including a 2-hour engagement session which he traveled to New Haven for. He made us feel comfortable right away which showed in our pictures. They looked as if we were on a date & someone was sneaking photos of us - exactly what we were looking for! Our wedding day photos were no different. He captured the laughter, happy tears, smiles, crazy dance moves, details - all of it! We can literally relive our wedding through the pictures. Our contract promised us 3-400 photographs & Mike sent almost 800 completely edited only 4 weeks after the wedding! Then to our surprise, we received a package in the mail a couple weeks later with a wooden box with our pictures printed on the cover & the most amazing decorative USB drive with all of our images. Mike is a class-act & we hope to use him again in the future. You cannot go wrong! Hint hint - he has a Photo Booth too!

    My wedding was over a year ago so I am a little late with this review, however, it now allows me to emphasize how important it is to hire an amazing photographer. My husband and I agreed up front that a good photographer was really important to us so we cut corners in other areas of the planning process so that we could hire a photographer that would give us memories to last a life time. Yes cutting corners in other areas is going to cause many headaches and tough decisions but trust me Mike is worth it! I am not exaggerating in any way when I say that hiring Mike was the best decision that we made for our entire wedding. I look back at the pictures from that day quite often (ok daily if I am being honest) and every time it brings me back to what an amazing and special day it was. I am not a picture person at all I typically feel uncomfortable and awkward in front of a camera but Mike has this way of making a person feel so relaxed and comfortable in their own skin. A lot of wedding vendors today have become extremely complaisant and your wedding is just another day on the job and another paycheck for them. Mike is not one of those vendors, he will make you feel like your wedding is the most important thing he could be doing that day from the moment that he arrives to the second you drive off with your new spouse. If you still are not sure go to his website and check out his work, if you are like me you are thinking.. wow these are great but can he really make my DIY decor and rustic location look as amazing as these photos...the answer is absolutely!

    Michael David was amazing! He was so friendly, professional, and talented. My husband and I had the most wonderful time working with him and the pictures he captured for both our engagement and wedding were magnificent! All of our guests loved him and we have already recommended him to our newlywed friends! If you're looking for the perfect wedding photographer--Michael David is your man!

    Words cannot describe how great Mike is! If you want gorgeous photos that you will cherish for a life time, you want to hire Michael David! I never thought that I could look as beautiful as I did on that day and he captured that to the fullest extent possible. He has wonderful ideas, takes amazing shots, and truly makes you feel like you are the only two people on the planet for your special day! He is extremely flexible when it comes to different photos you want to take too (we took like 10 jumping shots until we got the perfect one). Another bonus with Mike, is his amazing personality. He will make you feel comfortable with the camera, even if you think you aren't the most photogenic person, he will make you a photogenic person, I promise! He kept us on time and still made everything look flawless. I highly recommend the photo booth that he has too because our guests still cannot stop talking about how much fun it was. We ended up just using those photos as the "favors" for the guests and everyone loved that idea. YOU WANT TO HIRE HIM! Take an extremely happy brides advice, you won't regret it!

    Michael and Trevor did an amazing job photographing our wedding! Their creativity, professionalism, and relaxed/fun personalities made our already perfect day even more perfect! They are truly talented and so much fun to work with!! Even more so, they had a wedding to work the night before, drive through the middle of the night from Rhode Island so that they could shoot our wedding. They were punctual as well as accommodating to all of our needs! We love Michael David Photography!

    Michael's professionalism and work ethic goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy. Although it rained on our wedding day, Michael was just as daring as we were to go outside in 40mph winds and rain hoping to get a couple outdoor shots. Our friends and family haven't stopped complimenting some of the outdoor shots he took and posted them early as a "sneak peek." From the engagement shoot to the wedding day he was always there when we needed him and put 110% effort into everything. Michael is fun and outgoing and taking pictures never felt awkward! We are so excited to see our wedding pictures from Michael because we know they are going to be beautiful!

    My husband and I wanted a simple wedding. We’re not ones for super formal occasions. The groomsmen didn’t wear tuxes, the bridesmaids wore sundresses with flats and with the exception of my hair, I took a grand total of 5 minutes to get ready on our wedding day. I knew that I wanted Mike to photograph my wedding years before I had even gotten engaged. His work is and has always been beautiful. Truth be told, I was nervous that my wedding pictures wouldn’t be as beautiful. Our ceremony and reception weren’t in super elegant locations compared to all the rest of the pictures he’s done. The ceremony was in the church we grew up in and the reception was in our backyard. Yet, I was incredibly pleased with Mike’s work (as I knew I would be) He captured moments that I honestly thought that I could only save in my memory!! Only a true professional can capture such strong emotions like love and joy in its purest form like that. What’s more, Mike made me feel comfortable to be in front of the camera. Any other photographer would have probably heightened my awkwardness. My husband and I are eternally thankful to Mike for capturing the spirit of our wedding day. He can make beautiful pictures, even in a simple, informal, backyard setting.

    Michael photographed our wedding on June 21, 2014 and we absolutely LOVED him. From the GORGEOUS "teaser" pictures he sent us days after our wedding to his professionalism and great work ethic, we couldn't of asked for a better team to have with us on our wedding day. Beginning to end Michael responded quickly and made us feel at ease with any question we had. On our wedding day they went above and beyond to photograph every detail that we wanted and constantly checked in on me and my husband to see if we needed anything throughout the whole night. We can't wait to receive our photos because we know they will be stunning. I've had many people in my bridal party say how great he was and how they want him when they get married!!! We most definitely recommend Michael David Photography!

    Michael David has been fantastic to work with! From Day 1, he did not feel like just another vendor, but a good friend. Between the flexible consultations, the super-fun engagement session, his attention to the bride and groom on the wedding day, and now our gorgeous albums for us and our parents, Michael has really impressed us with his attention to detail and commitment to his clients' happiness. Little flourishes, like a beautiful wooden flash drive and custom-made fabric album storage pouches, set Michael David and his wedding experience apart and are greatly appreciated. We would recommend him for any photography needs without reservation!

    It was a true joy to work with Mike! It rained on our wedding day, but it didn't stop him from getting BEAUTIFUL shots, with limited options for places for pictures.
