Sometimes when you discover a great business, your first instinct is to worry that *everyone* will go there and ruin it. Nicole and her staff are great, friendly and down-to-earth. The studio is a soothing, artsy setting, tucked away in a quiet industrial part of town near the railroad tracks. The photo shoot moves at a brisk clip, yet she never makes you feel rushed out the door, waiting patiently while you choose from among the images. And she's always delivered multiple pictures I'm very happy with. Note that it really helps to follow the detailed instructions on her website before you go in for the photo session.

My family and I have never done a family photo shoot and we were excited to at least get one photo for a canvas. We had no idea how to pose or what to do. Miguel was the perfect photographer, especially for people who are not experienced in getting their photo taken. We love all of the poses that he suggested. He was so funny and personable which helped capture some really organic smiles and happy moments. We also included our puppy in the photo shoot and he did such a great job capturing our dog and getting her attention as well. Needless to say we've gotten much more than one good photo that we set out for. I would definitely recommend MN photography to all of my family and friends and look forward to booking again in the future. Perhaps next time at an outdoor photo shoot as this particular shoot was at his private studio.

What's included in the package is made unclear, so I never got what I expected. In addition, during the shoot he said that he could take my arm out if I had it on my kiddo and when I reminded him of this later, he said that was considered a complex edit and would cost money but they'd do it complmenetary that time. Had he told me this at the time of the shoot, we would have done something differently to get photos without me there in the background. Not cool.

Not only are they incredibly talented, but they really took the time to understand our family customs and captured countless special moments with our loved ones all week. Their attention to detail and understanding of South Asian weddings is unmatched and I am so fortunate to have them as our photo and videography team. Izabela and Agnes were our photographers and they were amazing to work with. Their smiles never wavered and were so good at keeping up with the countless rituals. They truly managed to catch each moment. As someone who is very awkward with getting her photos taken, they really put me at ease and walked me through the photos. Really cannot thank them enough for their patience and talent- they are gems! Robert was our amazing videographer and from my first phone call with him, he truly surpassed all my expectations. He made our video shoots so fun and was constantly trying to set up the perfect shot- his passion for his art made the experience even more enjoyable for us. So lucky to have him as our videographer! In such a saturated market, REM really goes above and beyond to make sure they've done everything in their power to make the process as seamless as possible- from their responsiveness to emails, phone calls leading up to the wedding to make sure they understand our vision, to being prepared to capture every single moment all week long, and finally to stitching together beautiful documentaries and albums that let you relive each moment. I know we are going to cherish these photos and videos for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend the REM team to capture your special milestones- they treat you like family and truly love what they do

I hired R.E.M to provide photography and videography services for our wedding. To be honest, even…read morethough they were recommended to me, I was still a little hesitant as the South Asian culture has such a particular taste when it comes to photo and video. And not to mention, our weddings have so many traditions that take place, that it's extremely important to be extra attentive to these. To my assurance, I had NOTHING to worry about. I should have known from the start because the moment I reached out to Robert, he surpassed all my expectations. He was so patient with my many, many questions; always provided quick responses; was more than accommodating to our needs and even change of needs; and had an obvious interest and devotion to his clients. Unlike some vendors who show this charm prior to booking their services and then going AWOL after, Robert stayed true to character from the moment we booked him, up and through our wedding day and even after. As our videographer, his artful eye was evident in how he captured moments throughout the day. Agnes was our lead photographer and she was amazing! She has a strong personality and knows how to get things done. Our wedding had over 800 guests but Agnes knew how to get the day moving and did what she had to in order to ensure that we were on schedule. Her dedication to making sure her client's day goes smoothly while capturing all the important moment and then some is one of her greatest strengths. My husband and I loved the engagement session she took for us. Agnes captured moments that were edited by Izabela, and together, the two created pictures that my fiance and I absolutely cherish. Those pictures are our favorite pictures to date and we cannot wait to see what the wedding photos turn out to be! :) Overall, we have had an amazing experience with R.E.M. Robert, Agnes and Izabela were a great team to work with and I highly, highly recommend them. You'll have nothing to worry about because you'll be in the best of hands! *Will update after receiving video and photo from the wedding :)

She was nothing but positive and--truly!--made us feel awesome about ourselves and the pictures we were taking. She is just a pleasure to be around and our comfort and happiness really comes through in the photos. And the photos are amazing! Ashley really captured our days in a way that will help us keep those memories for a lifetime!

A quote from him we repeated often in the days leading up to the wedding, "If love is in the room, nothing else matters." We submitted a request through the website, and he got in touch quickly. We had a wonderful conversation, which gave us complete confidence to enter into a contract with him. Before our special day, we had a virtual meeting to go over the shot list, and he asked all kinds of great questions. On the day of our wedding, he was early, and ready for us when we were. He is great at communicating with you, keeping it light, and getting great expressions. He worked wonderfully with the caterers to prepare the scenes inside the venue. He was always kind and professional. Working through the shot list, he learned everyone's names, and kept the posing and taking of photos fun and relaxed. We received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful Mike was. Then we got our photos! At first he would text us teasers, and they were all amazing. Then before too long, we received a link to our own website with all of the photos, and then received a USB drive with all of our shots. We're very excited to receive prints. I cannot recommend Michael Lee Photography enough.

I think that is why I do what I do, because I wish I could stop time...and the closest I can get to that is doing it with photographs. A few things about me: The people closest to me would probably describe me as extremely organized, easy-going and spontaneous. Everyone has a few quirks, right?. Mine would be that I HATE emptying the junk out of the bottom of the kitchen sink...ugh it's the worst. And yes, I do need a garbage disposal. What makes me Me....well I would say it's the way I find the silver lining in almost everything. It's not always easy to do but I do it and model that for my children. Why I Do What I Do I do this because I am a sucker for motherhood. It is the most difficult yet fulfilling role we will ever have as a woman. I do it because I understand the burdens we place on ourselves as mothers. But those burdens and self-doubts dissolve when my moms see their images. They know they are doing it right and for the love of their children. Very often, my moms and clients become my friends. We understand each other, are in the same exact moment in time and can thoroughly relate to each other's struggles. My Story When my first child was born, I fully grasped the circle of life and suddenly felt the need to capture every moment. Life was now fleeting. I couldn't fathom how someday this would all be a faint memory...
