Asad S. Sent on 04/01/2019Our special day captured in timeless beauty!
My wedding day last year was honestly the best day of my life, and I’m glad we had Michael Farmer to capture the human moments that made up the special day. Michael Farmer not only was our photographer from day one, but also became a friend that blended into our wedding party to capture everyone and the true essence of the day. Most of all, we’ve never dealt with a more professional individual who at the same time is very personal and cares about making, you the client, feel most important!
Prior to our wedding, my wife had put me in charge of finding our wedding photographer. We wanted someone who was personable, professional, creative, but also priced reasonably. I took this task on, and figured it would be easy to find photographers in Los Angeles that would deliver. I kept coming across people that kept going for typical overdone fads in their looks, or people that kept pushing their creative agenda on their clients. Finally we came across Michael Farmer. At first I loved the creative aspect, but I soon started noticing that I could really feel the energy of the events that he captured. We decided this is exactly how we wanted our special day to be captured, honest candid moments, that really showcase the day and everyone involved.
We decided to meet with Michael Farmer, and immediately felt comfortable. He was not selling us on anything, rather was getting to know us as a couple and how our wedding was coming together. He asked about our preferences and what was important to us. I definitely got the impression that this is someone that really loves what they do, and is most concerned with their clients needs and final product.
In addition, the pricing is very straight forward and clear. So we decided to move forward. We had booked Michael Farmer for our engagement shoot and wedding photos. Meeting up with him for our engagement shoot was such a pleasure. He made us both feel very comfortable, and soon into our shoot, we were just hanging out and didn’t even think about the fact that someone was capturing our moments. We were just being ourselves, and our photos couldn’t have been more amazing!
Fast forward to the wedding day! We had a very mixed wedding, as far as culture and religion. We were very anxious that our families would be kind of awkward during the whole process. Enter Michael Farmer, not only did he have a good idea of how to deal with our Desi, Asian, WASP, Muslim, Catholic group of people, but he quickly became friends with everyone and helped everyone relax. Honestly to have your photographer get a mixed group like that, comfortable and laughing, is unheard of. Soon enough, our whole party was laughing and having a good time, as he captured the day. There were also several interesting moments during our wedding, but he helped everyone stay calm and enjoy the day. We got several compliments on how our Photo & Video staff were so much fun! And at the same time, we felt like they were ninjas throughout the night, working in the background. Not once were they in anyones face or interrupting the event with camera equipment.
All of our photos were perfect. We got tons of photos, and they all captured the true happiness that everyone felt throughout the day. Also our video was thorough and covered our entire wedding without missing anything. Most of all I feel like we have a record of our wedding day and the entire process in it’s beautiful entirety.
Would definitely recommend Michael Farmer and F/8 Studios, and looking forward to having them capture our future life events! -

My husband and I are so indebted and grateful to Michael Farmer and everyone at F/8 Studios! Our reviews are so long overdue, especially since we had the most amazing experience with Michael and we can’t stop talking about how beautiful everything turned out. We had our engagement photos, wedding photos, and wedding video all done by Michael Farmer and his team. Everything delivered was stunning and captured both our personalities so well. Each photo is representative of the energy of the day and we can literally jump back in time whenever we look at them.
Our engagement session was so much fun! We had a blast taking our photos all over DTLB at our favorite places. We all got on so well and it was one of our favorite wedding experiences!
Like most weddings, we had a few hiccups and unexpected surprises throughout the day. Both my husband and I were extremely stressed out leading up to the wedding, but instantly felt so much better knowing we were in good hands with Michael Farmer. He kept our bridal party and family laughing and smiling throughout the day. We really couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. His professionalism and artistic eye produced the best wedding photos ever. We’re forever thankful we found him for our wedding and looking forward to him capturing our future life events!

We were referred to Michael after we hired his wife, Marni, to be our Day of Coordinator and we could not be happier to have hired them both! Michael is the perfect balance of personable and professional; all of our wedding party enjoyed his energy as he took pictures of us getting ready for the ceremony, and many of our guests had nothing but nice things to say about him as he worked the crowd getting great candids and group photos during the ceremony & reception. Michael was able to capture literally every special moment from both the ceremony & reception at every angle and we love having so many greats to choose from as he took nearly 800 photos. We have nothing but positive notes for Michael, hire him (and Marni, shout out to SoSmitten Events), you will not regret it! -
User2368090 Sent on 10/14/2015Working with Michael and Marni was such a privilege. They relieved so much wedding stress for my husband and me as we knew we didn't have to worry about anything--they would capture every aspect of our day perfectly. This was important as my husband and I live abroad and could only plan our day with Michael via email. I did get to meet with Michael while I was in CA and I knew immediately that he was the best photographer for our day. I met with two other photography options. In one case, I wouldn't get to meet the photographer until the actual day and all planning would go through someone else--this felt very impersonal to us. In the other case, the photographer was one of the most pompous people I've ever met who wanted me to change my venues to suit his needs. Michael was our knight in shining armor. We've been able to see a sneak peak of both our photos and video and we LOVE everything! We are so happy and would strongly and adamantly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Michael and Marni and team!! -
User2008178 Sent on 01/13/2015Michael did our engagement photos at Disneyland because my husband and I are huge Disneyland fans! The pictures came out so good! He captured our personalities perfectly at Disneyland. He was so much fun to hang out with while he was taking photos of us. He made us feel comfortable like we were hanging out with a long time friend.
For our wedding, we used Michael and his team for photography, videography and photo booth. It was so nice to use 1 vendor for all 3 services! Michael and his team were very professional during our entire wedding. Our bridal party had a lot of fun taking pictures with Michael before the wedding. Many of our guests commented on how nice Michael and his team were through out the ceremony and reception. Everyone loved the photo booth! There was a ton of fun props to use in the photo booth and guests loved that they could take home a fun memento from our wedding.
We absolutely LOVE our wedding photos, video and wedding album. He captured the love we felt on our wedding day with our family and friends. We loved that he took photos with several different filters and made a 3 minute music video of our wedding in addition to the regular video. He's current, his photography and videography are not the typical cheesy 80's style that you see so often! He listened to everything we wanted to capture on our wedding day! We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.
