Look no further. Seriously.
"My husband and I opted to get a custom package that included 8-10 hours of coverage and 4 hours of additional coverage by a second photographer. We also purchased the custom album because the samples Mike showed us during a Skype meeting were just too stunning to pass up on. We timely received a flash drive containing all high-resolution images from our wedding on top of a very convenient online portfolio to share with families and friends -- all for a very reasonable price. You may be working on a tight budget like I was but doing proper research made me realize quickly that if there’s any part of the wedding you can’t skimp on, that’s ensuring that the photos from your big day will come out as beautiful as it deserves to be. You’re going to be spending plenty of time making sure all you wedding details are executed the way you envision and it really would be a shame if all that effort is not documented properly. You’re going to be remembering that day for as long as you live so invest on making sure those photos are beautiful.
Our wedding photographer was Nick Woodall and Rachel Kim and we couldn’t be happier with having gotten to work with them. Nick was the lead photog and Rachel was just as professional. They were attentive. They were respectful to the event and just an overall joy to work with. They were easy to get along with and made us feel really comfortable. We trusted their work so much that we encouraged our guests not to take photos of the ceremony with their phones and cameras to let Nick and Rachel capture the event without the interruption. And we’re glad we did. Not only were they a pleasure to work with but also the quality of their output is just impressive. We are beyond happy we picked them!
If you are reading this, there’s a very high chance that you’re researching to hire a wedding photographer. I was you a few months back and I was fortunate enough to land upon Mike B Photography. I hired their services precisely because of the overwhelming positive feedback I read on their profile. Those reviewers were all right. The great thing about doing research is if you suspect for any reason my review is inaccurate, you can verify it for yourself and browse through their portfolio. I mean, their work really speaks for itself. To the team: thank you for creating the beautiful photos we’ll be looking back on for as long as we live. Cheers!"

Fun To Work With! Creative And Talented!
"Throughout the entire process, Mike made us feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera (something that I didn't think was possible!). He started with an engagement session with his great assistant and we instantly knew we had made the right choice. It was fun and felt intimate. When the wedding came around, we were already comfortable with Mike which made a huge difference. He has an ease and respectful-ness. So many of our guests noted that he wasn't "in your face" yet always got the shot! He listened to our requests of what we would like to have photographed but also took great shots that we wouldn't have thought of. Our favorite pictures are the candids. I can't say enough about the emotion, love and expression that he captured - and even moments that we missed throughout the night.
Every time we look at the pictures (which is often!) we are reminded of what a wonderful day it was for us and our families - thanks to Mike we get to relive that every day.
Side Note: Mike even made the trip to visit AFTER the wedding to get pictures of our rings (we didn't have them together before the wedding) - it was such a special touch that wasn't required but he did it anyways. We'll be forever grateful for those."

Absolutely Amazing!!!!
"Mike is such an amazing photographer!! We were lucky enough to have our engagement session and wedding photos done by Mike. Not only did he make us feel completely at ease, he thought about things we just didn't know we needed to think about. Your photo's are one of the most important part of your big day, they capture the little moments that you will never be able to get back, it's important to be sure nothing will go wrong! After seeing our engagement photo's we knew we were in great hands!
There were also so many fun little surprise's from Mike like a picture slide show, a fun blog post, extra backup photographers that helped touch up makeup, get extra fun shots, the works!!! To top it off, Mike set up a slide show at the wedding for guests to view, which was such a big hit! If you are looking for a true professional, that is passionate about his work, that makes you feel comfortable in order to get real natural photo's instead of the usual lame wedding photos, Mike is the way to go.
Your biggest dilemma will end up being having to decided which photos are your favorite, because you will LOVE them all!!! I have never seen such breath taking black and white photo work in my life! I seriously can't say enough about how fantastic Mike is as a photographer and person!"

It doesn't get better than mike b
"Mike B is simply the best. He truly made my experience during our engagement session and throughout my wedding better than I could have imagined. Mike right of the bat makes you feel completely comfortable doing something that may not feel 100% natural (being in front of a camera for hours on end!). Looking back, I realize how important it is to just feel like you can be yourself in order to capture unique and personal photos (vs those that seem to be posed and a bit corny) and which also accurately reflect the relationship with your significant other.
Because Mike is calm, collected, and truly listens to what you want, while at the same time just being super cool dude, you will automatically find yourself feeling like you can just relax and enjoy the whole experience. Mike not only makes you feel 100% comfortable, he also has a talent that is incomparable to any competition. His pictures capture classic elegance and romance while at the same time are chic, modern and of amazing quality. He has an amazing gift that will not disappoint. He is one in a million and I would recommend Mike and Nick (who is also one of the nicest and coolest guys on the planet)100 times over.
I feel so lucky to have had Mike B for my wedding and I am already looking forward to using him for all of the special moments I want to capture in the future (as long as he doesn't become too famous in the meantime)! :)"

MikeB Photography – Stunning Wedding Photography!
"We chose to have our destination wedding in Annapolis, Maryland. We had guests from 14 states represented and this would probably be the only time everyone, family and friends would be in the same place at the same time! We knew we had the best caterer with Ken’s Creative Kitchen and now we really wanted the best photographer that would go beyond the typical posed pictures and capture the special moments of the day. Ken recommended Mike B Photography and it was the perfect choice for us as their photo journalism approach was exactly what we were looking for!
We had a memorable engagement session with Mike and Nick at our marina a month or so before the big day! The photos turned out great! It really helped us feel comfortable and be ourselves on our wedding day. We received such personal attention leading up to and during our wedding. Nick and Rachel photographed our wedding. Both were wonderful to work with, professional, easy going, and non intrusive.
Nick started the day early with me and the girls at our Annapolis rental home, then to the ceremony, stopping along the way at my request for some gorgeous photos on the bay with sailboats and the bay bridge as the backdrop. Nick captured pictures of our ceremony inside and outside of St. Mary’s Church really playing on its beauty and architecture, followed by an impromptu send off in a Maserati Convertible. The photos Nick took on the beach at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation before the reception took no time at all and we ended up being part of our entire cocktail hour and talked with all of our guests! We took more photos at sunset then danced the night away.
We received a sneak peek of several photos within 2 days of our wedding and they were stunning! The “kiss on the beach” photo was breathtaking and took Facebook by storm! Plus, numerous shots that were so creative, like the “Cinderella” shot of my husband putting on my shoe after pictures on the beach, and even a simple picture of my flowers done so beautifully, and so many candid pictures that all just captured those moments we were hoping for. Nick you truly have a gift for photography! Thank you Mike, Nick and Rachel for being a part of our special day and creating the memories for us to last a lifetime!"
