Our mission in life is to deliver massive value in whatever we do and help people achieve their goals--their goals, not what someone else thinks they should want. We are the eternal optimist.

Wedding photojournalists A. Michael's and Company custom photography
So what is a true “wedding photojournalist?” He/she is a photographer who is dedicated, from beginning to end, to photograph a wedding like a Time Magazine photographer might photograph the "day in the life" of President Obama. His/her desire is to capture the actual story of the day with all the emotion, drama, and reality that develops without any prompting whatsoever. A client who selects a wedding photojournalist or a documentary wedding photographer should be doing so because they are not interested in contrived, staged, posed or set-up style photographs that their photographer creates for the sake of making a “perfect” photo. This client has no interest in having photographs made that are more like illusions or portrayals of truth, controlled by the photographer. A client choosing a documentary style photographer does so because they desire for their photographer to capture the reality of the day with all it’s beauty and all it’s flaws. Emotional, spontaneous, quirky, unique, energetic images of the day that a skilled and artistic photojournalist will seek to capture, with careful anticipation and thoughtful composition. The wedding photojournalist usually arrives well before the bride is dressed and stays until they take the last photo of the bride and groom well into the reception. At times, finding him/herself up close and personal so that the photographs make the viewer feel as if he/she is a participant of the moment. Other times during the day, the wedding photojournalist steps back to seek imagery that includes the environment and elements within the scene to help make interesting compositions. These images are those that you would find as a single image used by a magazine that provide much detail. The who, what, where, why questions are all answered in one image. The end result is a narrative collection of images that show actual emotions and experiences of the days events.
 Our eyes are always attuned to those fleeting moments that we know you would want captured. Moments that you are not aware is happening around you until you see them through our imagery.
