The most experienced and helpful photographer I have ever known. If you are unsure about what images you need or what style, Michael will help you every step of the way. The images are of the highest quality and are delivered promptly in both web and full resolution (Michael will explain the need for both, if you need him to!)
Top notch guy, world class photographer! And not as expensive as you would think :) What more would you need?
