CLIENT WORDS

“My husband and I look like models.”

Michael’s friendly disposition put my husband and I at ease on our big day. We got our marriage license and ceremony done on the same day and Michael was able to capture our giddiness and romance perfectly. He was friendly and made us feel comfortable with all the posing and kissing! Not only was he more affordable than other companies, he even offered a Military Discount! Michael brought my Pinterest Board to life and my husband and I look like models. I would recommend him to any couple!”

CLIENT WORDS

“10/10 DEFINITELY recommend!”

Finding a photographer was probably the hardest part of wedding planning. When I came across Author Made’s page, I was obsessed! They were very good at communicating with us and they truly cared about the outcome we wanted. I didn’t even go through any inspiration photos as I just didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but they made sure that every photo was perfect. I’m truly so happy with how everything came out, happy with their professionalism, just happy all around. Thank you guys so much for giving us the best memories to cherish for the rest of our lives.”

CLIENT WORDS

“Every moment was captured in the most beautiful way.”

We wanted most of our photos to be more on the candid side, but for posed photos and video shots, Michael and Rob made us feel so comfortable and gave us plenty of direction when needed. We received our photos and video a couple of days ago, and everything represented the feelings of that day so perfectly. Every moment that was so special to us was captured in the most beautiful way. From the beginning of the process to the end, we knew we were in more than capable hands.”

CLIENT WORDS

“The finished pictures blew me and my husband away.”

Michael is very organized and detail-oriented. He thought of everything, and worked with me to create a schedule for the photos and worked seamlessly with my day-of-coordinator. He worked so hard to provide us with everything we wanted; truly went above and beyond. On top of all that, he was super fun to work with! He kept me and my bridal party laughing and having a great time. It felt like hanging out with a good friend and taking pictures; never awkward or stiff. Do yourself a favor and hire Author Made!”

“Everyone looks natural and amazing.”

Author Made did a great job communicating with me every step of the way, was timely and prepared, and very amicable and friendly with everyone at our wedding. We were also very impressed with the skills Michael has in seamlessly coordinating large group photos and directing wedding party photos so that everyone looks natural and amazing. His pictures are spectacular and breathtaking! And he got them to us in less than a month! We are so happy that we entrusted our wedding day pictures to him and can’t wait to print out some of the pictures to hang in our new home.”

Photography and videography were so important to us on our big day and choosing Author Made was one of the best decisions we’ve made! We are thrilled with his work and would recommend him to anyone. He is so professional and kind…truly a pleasure to work with! Thank you, Author Made, for the beautiful photos and video and for capturing these memories that we’ll cherish forever!”
