    Photography

    Michele and Andy were AMAZING to work with for our wedding! Michele and I worked through the wedding timeline on three occasions, she answered all my simple and complex questions and gave appropriate feedback and suggestions. My husband and I do not take many pictures, but both Andy and Michele made the day so easy and comfortable. They were so much fun and the pictures came out exactly how I wanted them and we got them two weeks after our wedding!! I do not have enough great things to say about them: professional, high energy, thorough. Everything you could ask for on your wedding day

    Amazing Photo/Video/Photo Booth

    The whole team at Misha Media is great to work with. Michele, who is the main photographer, is great to work with and she provides wedding information as well as photo/video tips to make your wedding day go as smoothly as possible. She provides great information and tips when taking photos. Andy was with the groomsmen and was really fun to work with. He is genuine and funny and the experience he helped foster was closer to just “hanging out” than a stranger present to take photos. It was so important for the overall comfort and experience. My husband and I aren’t the best at taking pictures naturally and she and her team make it as easy and smooth as possible. Misha Media did our photography, videography, and photobooth. We would highly recommend using them. They made our wedding day amazing!!!

    Amazing experience!

    One of my coworkers had her wedding photographed by Michele and Andy, and from the moment I saw the photos, I knew I wanted them as our wedding photographers! From the first phone call, my husband and I felt completely comfortable with Michele. She was so patient and answered all of our questions. As an added bonus, they provided us with a great online tool to help plan out our wedding timeline. On the day of, Michele and Andy were so friendly and professional! We loved that they gave us different ideas on how to pose, as we needed a lot of guidance! The final photos are stunning, and my husband and I will treasure them for life. Thank you so much to the entire Misha Media team. I would recommend them to anyone!

    Amazing work!

    We hired Misha Media for our wedding photos and absolutely loved working with Michele and Andy. They helped guide me through the whole process prior to the wedding day, and made it so easy to get the shots I wanted. Highly recommend using them!

    Highly Recommend!

    From the very beginning, we knew Misha Media would be the ones for us! Choosing our photographers and videographers gave me so much anxiety because it’s something that you invest so much money on and you just want to look back on your wedding day for all the years to come. All my anxiety was cleared away the second we spoke to Michele over the phone! My husband is stationed in San Diego so at the time, we were across the country from each other. Michele made it so easy to include him by scheduling a phone meeting for us all since we couldn’t meet in person. I remember right when we all hung up, I called my husband back and we both agreed, without any doubts, that they would be the ones we work with. But it didn’t stop there- they were consistent and responsive throughout the entire process all the way until the day of the wedding and even after! Michele was such joy to work with and she was so organized with timelines and all! I had no idea what to expect on the day of our wedding, and she broke it down from the second I woke up to the second our night was over. She made the whole process as stress-free as possible! She is so detail oriented and she asked questions that we would never have even thought about if she had never brought it up (which happened a handful of times, so we are very grateful for that!) They were so awesome that we ended up including the photobooth they offered as well, which was a huge hit at the reception! Very convenient since they ended up being an all-in-one package deal for us- photo, video, and photobooth. We had the pleasure of having Noelle and Joey, and Michele and Andy on the day of. They made us feel so comfortable, it felt like we all knew each other forever! Their great personalities matched their great work ethic. I could go on and on about how great their team was, but I’ll just leave it at I’m so grateful to have had them at our wedding day. From the church ceremony to the hotel reception, it was all a smooth transition. We cannot thank you guys enough! We highly recommend Misha Media to anyone and everyone!

    The best of the best

    If you want awesome photos and kind photographers, Michelle and Andy are the ones for you. Prompt and attentive + they knew how to work with our groomsmen who were wild that night. I can't wait to get our pics back.

    Best decision you can make

    My husband and I chose Misha Media Photography for our wedding and it was the best decision! When we initially started looking for photographers we didn’t feel comfortable with anyone we talked to, but when we spoke to Michele, we knew we found the right place. She is so friendly and asks a lot of detailed questions to get to know you. I loved that quality because I know the better they knew us, the better they could capture our personalities. Their whole process from start to finish was so organized and detailed and it made me so confident that we were in good hands.

    Jenny and Elaine were our photographers for the day. My husband and I did not do engagement photos, so it was a little nerve-wracking using photographers that we never worked with before or had even met, but they were both fantastic. They gave great direction to everyone and captured so many beautiful photos and they put up with crazy wedding guests!

    After our wedding, we got our photos back so quick and during the whole process, before and after, Michele and her team have been so quick to respond to any questions we had. I cannot thank Misha Media enough for capturing these amazing memories for us and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

    Absolutely wonderful experience

    My husband and I used Misha Media for our engagement photo shoot as well as our wedding. Our photographers were Mindy and Bryan and our videographers were Joey and Noelle. Although I have not gotten the wedding photos or video back yet, I felt inclined to write the review anyway based on the engagement photos and the experience of both the wedding day and the engagement shoot. Where to begin....getting photographed isn't something that my husband or I have ever experienced so it was a little nerve wracking and awkward at first but Mindy and Bryan helped us pose and made conversation to help make things more relaxed and comfortable during our engagement shoot. I definitely recommend the engagement shoot since it helps you get to know your wedding photographers and you know more of what to expect during wedding photos.

    During the ten hours that we had Mindy and Bryan and the nine hours that we had Joey and Noelle they were all ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Mindy was the lead photographer and she truly seemed like she was a part of my bridal party. She knew my bridesmaids by name and made suggestions for photo ops that I never would have thought of. Bryan did a fantastic job at making sure all the little detail shots I asked for were captured and he did a great job directing the groomsman on how to pose.

    Joey and Noelle did an amazing job recording the whole day - they never once got in anyone's way and truly did their job with elegance and grace. One of my groomsman said he didn't know what to expect with so much going on at once but he could tell that everyone from Misha Media were extremely professional and knew exactly what they were doing. I cannot agree more or express it any better myself. I feel like all four of them were such a critical part of the day.

    I'm anxious to see the final product but have the utmost confidence based on the engagement photos we received and the quality of service.

    Thank you SO MUCH for helping me capture the best day of our lives!

    We just had our engagement photo shoot with Mindy and Michele - it was great because they made us feel at ease and we had great direction when we were absolutely clueless on what to do! They were also very prepared considering we had bad storms earlier in the morning - so we were prepared for a rainy day shoot but it cleared out and it got cloudy then sunny and humid but they were able to adjust so quickly and saw some great shots that we did not think of. They were awesome to work with and I look forward to working with them again for our wedding day photography. Thank you so much!

    Misha Media Associates did our engagement and wedding pictures. We were thrilled with the engagement photographs and cannot wait to see our wedding photos! Our photographers were Jenny and Christian and they made us feel comfortable and relaxed, they worked so well together, and their product was wonderful for the cost!

    My husband and I cannot thank Misha Media enough! We are so excited to see our wedding photos and the video! Michele, Andy, and the Misha Media Team were a dream to work with! We wish we had them stay longer on the day of our wedding! We have gotten so many compliments on how amazing the team was and how organized Misha Media is. The day goes by so quickly and it was amazing to have the best team we could ask for to help us capture our wedding. We are forever grateful and if we could hire them again, for any reason, I would. The process from meeting, up until wedding day was very smooth. Michele is wonderful at communication, any question you have she will answer for you in a timely fashion. Misha Media is always open for ideas and always willing to improvise. They also make you feel very comfortable in front of a team of cameras, which is incredibly helpful! If anyone is looking for wonderful photographers and videographers, look no further! Michele, Andy, and the entire Misha Media Team, thank you so much for helping make our wedding day run smoothly and so much fun! We cannot wait to see everything!

    My fiancé and I are using Misha media for photography only. Michele and Andy are amazing!!! Don't look else where because they're work is great. Very elegant and classy. Michele and Andy like to use natural light which you don't see many photographers do.

    My husband and I were referred to Misha Media (Michele & Andy Rivera) from a friend who did not use them (they were unavailable) but wishes he had! We looked at their photos and prior reviews and instantly we knew we wanted to hire them for our wedding (but in truth, were slightly concerned with the price). Here is one of those situations that you get what you pay for and Misha Media is worth the premium. Michele and Andy were very professional and friendly. They also help guide the day and flow of the photos well. Several of our family commented how awesome they were and we recently received our first look of photos and everyone is commenting how amazing they are. We also ended up using them for Videography. Now my brother even wants to hire them for his 2018 wedding. Thank you so much Michele & Andy!

    Misha Media did an amazing job from start to finish! From the initial call through receiving the photos, we were impressed. We met Jenny and Christian the photographers for our engagement session and the pictures turned out fabulous! We just received our wedding photos back and they are simply stunning. Michele is very responsive and proactive in making sure everything is planned out and runs smoothly. The photographers stayed on point the entire day and kept everything moving and on time, capturing candid moments every chance they got. We could not be more proud of the finished product. Thank you all you did a beautiful job!

    Misha Media Photographers did an excellent job in capturing our wedding day last month! We knew their work from other friends who had hired them for their weddings so we knew that we would like their style. Also, we did research other photographers and found Misha Media's offerings were reasonably priced and affordable. Michele was extremely easy to work with during the planning process. She was organized and very responsive to emails. Mindy and Veronica ended up being our photographers for the day and they did a phenomenal job working with us, our bridal party and guests. They were very professional and friendly! They went with the flow, especially when we weren't ready and had last minute changes. Most importantly, our photos turned out so much better than we could have imagined! They captured over 1000 moments and so many details. We are very happy with our photos and experience with Misha Media and would absolutely recommended them!

    Misha Media was amazing!! We hired them for our wedding and we have no regrets.! They’re really knowledgeable and take such beautiful pictures. Michele was my main contact and she would respond so quickly to any question that I had. She would even take the time to respond when they were out of town doing other photo shoots! They really want to make your experience stress free and enjoyable. Highly recommend them!

    After we had our date, ceremony and reception booked, Misha Media Associates was our first vendor to book. Since before I was engaged, I followed Misha Media and their amazing work! One of my friends (whose wedding I was in) used Misha Media Associates for their wedding and we KNEW we had to book them for our wedding. Michele was prompt with every single email I sent. She emailed tips for engagement photos and we were able to work with our photographers Elaine and Erwin before the wedding. Elaine and Erwin took beautiful creative pictures of us and my family and friends just LOVED them. Elaine and Erwin were professional, creative, prompt, and got along well with everyone. A few weeks before the wedding, Michele had us answer questions about the wedding and our families. The questions helped get our list for the family portraits, vendors, and DIY and I was able to send the family portrait list out to our families to get a sense of when the pictures would be shot after the ceremony. I'm so happy I used Misha Media Associates for our wedding pictures and I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you Misha Media!

    I also used Misha Media for my photobooth. They had the BEST props I've seen, the pictures printed out quickly so there was hardly ever a line with almost 300 people. We also got a choice of backdrops and what size pictures we wanted printed out. I couldn't be happier!

    Ok, not sure if the first review went through or not but here is another one. Our wedding was 9/26/15 and Misha Media was truly a pleasure to work with. Michele, Andy and Kevin really know their stuff. I was amazed at how organized, resourceful (in capturing the right shots and lighting) and efficient they were through out the entire day. They made sure to capture every photo requested and then some. Most importantly, they got along with my family/friends and understood their sense of humor especially since most of us needed some photo 101 tips :) I would definitely recommend Misha Media to anyone and I already know they produce excellent work.

    I would get married all over again just to book Misha and Misha Associates!!! Or just book them for another event. (Rock the dress session coming up!!!)

    Very professional. VERY patient I might add. Very strict timeline which all brides will DEFINITELY appreciate A LOT especially with bigger groups. Very organized, timely, 100% professional. Cater to all my requests. I did not need to keep track of everything they do, they are everywhere in the ceremony and in reception. They maximize time spent (booked contract for 10 hours). They get along with all my guests, very polite, very professional. VERY creative. I requested some detail photos and see them in every turn.

    Mindy and Bryan made us very comfortable in front of the camera and my now-hubby and I are somehow blinkers. Took every shot we wanted and more. They check in each time we move location and before they left which is important!

    I cannot say enough good things about Misha Media and Misha Associate Photographers. THEY ARE AWSOME in every way possible. I'll book them on the next event for sure. Still scheduling the "Rock the Dress" session which will come up soon!

    Thank you! MIsha. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

    We absolutely loved using Misha Media Bench Mob for our wedding! My husband's brother used them for their wedding and had a great experience--- so we went with them as well! They were great to work with! They really provided their feedback on the timeline to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted and they made sure our shot list was completed! The day of they made sure we were comfortable in front of the camera and had everyone relaxed! We had photos at the hotel getting ready, at the church, the ceremony, family photos, then photos on the golf course during the cocktail hour, the whole reception, and then we went outside at night time and took a few photos as well! They were great the entire day! They are so easy to talk to and they had awesome ideas for photos! I am so glad we went with them!

    Michele and Andy were great to work with, both for our engagement photos and wedding day! They are super sweet and make the process very comfortable. Most importantly, their work is beautiful! I loved that the photos are a mix of classic/traditional photos and fun photos that they put their own style into. It was really important to us to end up with amazing photos of our wedding day - after all, once the day is over, all that's left is memories! - and we are really happy with the results!

    From beginning to end, the entire Misha Media staff did a wonderful job! Michele is the sweetest thing, very professional and responsive and our photographers, Mindy and Bryan, did such a great job at our engagement photo session and the wedding. They were so easy to work with and made everything so easy for us. We couldn't have asked for better photographers. The photos turned out beautiful - we loved all of them. Thank you, Misha Media, for doing such an amazing job and capturing our special day! You guys are great!

    Misha media was so much fun to work with! They are willing to so almost anything for the perfect shot. Michele and Andy did our engagement photos at my husbands firehouse and we got so many compliments on how awesome our photos were. We were nervous and anxious because we've never been professionally photographed before and with a bunch of firefighters staring at you and messing with your fiancé .. well it doesn't make it easy to be romantic with one another on camera. Instead of having serious photos we had humorous , light hearted, fun photos which is perfect because that's us! The whole fire dept had fun with the photo shoot and we couldn't be more happy with the photos!

    We haven't seen all of our wedding day photos yet but from what we've seen so far I can tell they are going to be amazing! Andy and Michele are extremely talented photographers who really make your photos pop! And make your entire day flow easily and light hearted. Our entire bridal party loved them and had so much fun with them! We highly recommend them :)
