Wedding Photographer Portfolio - Daniel Michael

Wedding Photographer: Daniel Michael

About Me:

I'm a Cincinnati native, Oak Hills High alum, and a University of Cincinnati grad where my photography journey began. I never imagined I'd lead the top-rated Wedding Photography Studio in the tri-state! I became a father in 2007 and shortly after adopted my now wife's two kids. It took me a while but I finally married her in 2022! If you want to see a bit of us, here's our 3 minute wedding highlight reel by Lifetime Films. 

I grew up boating on the Ohio River and Lake Cumberland and still love water-skiing or floating on the lake with a good bourbon and cigar. I'm a die-hard Bearcats fan and follow all our local sports teams (including Xavier!). I love to travel whether it's a family cruise or a getaway with my wife to Cancun or Cabo. I value diverse perspectives and love hearing about other's passions. 

Professionally:

I love photography but my true passion is for people, their relationships and the moments they create. Capturing those memories is the most rewarding thing I can do with a camera. My favorite part of photographing a wedding is the reception. It's where I hear the father talk about his little girl or the big brother is proud of his little brother. I get to watch through my zoom lens the bride's mother & sisters tearing up watching her dance with her father. If I'm moved to tears looking at your wedding photos remembering what they meant to me, you will be too. Then, I know I've done something special. This is why wedding photography is what I do.

You deserve this experience and I'm committed to making sure you have it.
