About Us
We have photographed many weddings during the past fifteen years. Though we call the Pittsburgh area home, we have traveled the world shooting a variety of photos for personal and commercial clients. We appreciate clients that care deeply about having their wedding day captured as a story, told by an artist. We absolutely LOVE what we do - meeting new people, capturing beautiful images, and traveling around the world.
Our style... is to shoot quietly and unobtrusively in the background throughout most of the day, and then work with you to create dramatic and unusual environmental portraits when we've got a few minutes alone. Our greatest compliment is when a bride looks through the photos and says, "I didn't even know that happened!” Our photos tell stories.
We hope to have the pleasure of working with you, to capture your story!

Why Us?
Your style... is bold, fun loving, adventurous and totally in love with your new partner. You appreciate photography as an art and you want an outgoing, friendly photographer that you feel comfortable hanging out with. You don't want to worry about being embarrassed by an egotistical photographer who tries to take over your day. You're not looking for the cheapest photographer - you're look for quality and expect it to cost more because it's the best. Finding a photographer who can tell a story with a camera is of the highest priority to you. You shudder at the thought of seeing your own faces in the cheesy wedding photos that are so typical these days. You want a large collection of natural, unstaged images that capture a moment, and all together, they tell the story of your day. Brian Michaels will tell that story.
Some advice... You are almost certainly a new bride or groom just venturing into the confusion of shopping for photographers for your wedding. When you interview a photographer, perhaps the single most important thing to know is that it's very easy for new or moderate quality photographers to buy a website that makes them look as good as the really great photographers - at first glance. The thing to remember is that most photographers will pick out their favorite 20 images from each wedding and show those on their website - you should ask to see the rest. You need to know that any beginner can get 20 good shots during a 10 hour wedding day and that is NOTHING to brag about.
So don't ask a photographer to "show me your best picture" - what you should be asking them to do is.... "tell me a story." And believe us, there is a HUGE difference between the photographers that can get 20 decent shots, and those that can get the hundreds of great images it takes to tell the whole story of a wedding day.
Thinking about saving money and having a friend or relative photograph the day? Everyone likes to cut costs – you are not alone. However, you might want to talk with others who made that decision; many couples realize too late that there is indeed a difference between the work of hobbyists and professionals. Trust Brian Michaels with photographing those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
