Wedding Photographer-Daniel Michael

Wedding Photographer: Daniel Michael

The driving force behind everything I do is the relationships I have and will develop.  I love our couples, their families and friends.  Our photographers and all our team members are like family.  Capturing those relationships is an absolute joy.  There is no type of photography more personal than your wedding photography and that starts with your relationship with your photographer.  Everything we do from hiring, training, packaging and style is designed to make create a personalized experience with photos that showcase you, your style and your memories.

Artistically, my greatest strength is being able to identify your personal and stylistic preferences and then blend your style and mine to make photos that are not just creative but completely unique to you, your day and the relationships you have with the people you've invited to your wedding. You are one-of-a-kind and I expect your wedding photos to reflect that.

A little about me, I was born and raised in one the west side of Cincinnati and attended Oak Hills High School.  I then received my degree from the University of Cincinnati which is when I discovered my love for photography.  It wasn't something I dreamed of as a child.  It's something I didn't find until I was already in college.  I would have never dreamed then that I'd ever be running the #1 rated Wedding Studio in the tri state. 

I have since moved to the east side and then to northern part of Cincinnati.  I have three kids who are all growing up way too fast.  I enjoy boating with family and friends, water skiing and floating on the water with a quality bourbon and cigar as the kids play on the rafts.  I'm a big sports fan starting with the Bearcats but also love catching the Reds, Bengals, FC Cincinnati and on occasion the Cyclones.  I like to travel though I primarily go north to the French River in Canada or Niagara Falls or south to Cumberland, Lake Norris, Florida and the Caribbean.  I absolutely love taking cruises and meeting new people and seeing new places.  I have yet to travel out west but it's on my bucket list!  I'd love to get to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Hawaii and Alaska.  I love a good discussion with someone who has a different perspective than my own as I don't know how to grow without hearing different perspectives.  I view our studio approach the same way.  I like hosting events and being with the people I care about.  I'd love for you to be one of those people!!
