Mikal is a class act photographer. If you need someone who not only can capture the special moments, but also UNDERSTANDS the importance of what to capture, he's your guy. He is so personable and his pictures truly speak for themself...magical storytelling in his images. It was such a challenge for me to find the right photographer for our wedding, since my dad is a photographer..and we were so relieved when we (really my mom!) found Mikal's artistry on Instagram. It's not easy to find someone who is so passionate about their craft in the wedding industry... Fast forward to now, thanks to Mikal, my husband and I now have thee most cherished and beautiful photos to look back on thanks to his commitment to his craft and clients. We also got our photos in a reasonable amount of time after the wedding which we certainly appreciated. We were so lucky to have him as our photographer for our special day!!! Would recommend him to any bride or person who needs a photographer! Another tip- def hire a second photographer for your big day and spurge on the engagement pics too! read more

Mikal did a phenomenal job on our photos for our wedding day, we loved the look and color of them as well as all the perfect candid photos we received (there are always great photos hidden in there). It was a magical day and we love that we can go back through that day through photos. Thank you again for capturing in the perfect way! read more

I met Mikal when he took pictures for my friend's wedding 3 years ago. Since then, he has photographed 3 more of my friends' weddings and when I got engaged, I immediately contacted Mikal for a quote. I am from northern California but I was getting married in Las Vegas. Mikal sent me his wedding photography packages but since I didn't need all of the package features, he created a custom package for me with travel fees that was extremely reasonable (even cheaper than some photography quotes that I received from companies based in Las Vegas). After we signed our contract with Mikal, we had a phone consultation regarding our day-of wedding timeline. We expressed what was important to us and Mikal gave us really good insight how much time we might need for each of the events that we had planned for our wedding and how to maximize the time that we had with him. I was a little worried because we had only visited our wedding venue once and we weren't very familiar with the area and Mikal had never filmed there either but Mikal reassured us that we would find some good locations. The day of our wedding, Mikal & Kai (Mikal's day-of assistant) arrived early to our hotel to scout out a place for our first-look photo and for some of our bridal party photos. They met our videographer Richard and they were all able to work seamlessly together even though they had just met for the first time. Throughout the day, Mikal kept us on track with our timeline, captured all the important moments, and patiently maneuvered through a crowd of loud and energetic (some intoxicated) wedding guests. Looking back now, one thing that my husband and I really appreciated was being directed and told where to stand, look, and smile. We were both overwhelmed by everything going on that day and we really appreciated having a professional who kept us on track with our timeline, didn't ask us any questions, and just told us where to be and what to do. We received our final wedding edits less than 1 month after our wedding (I know, crazy turnaround time right?!?!). All of our photos were beautiful and they turned out better than we could've imagined. Now the hard part...going through all of the photos and choosing which ones we want to upload and have printed (the anxiety is real). If you are looking for photography services, book with LOKITM Photography, you won't regret it =) Price: Extremely reasonable for the photography packages with hours of services & final products. Ask for any package customizations! Communication: Mikal was very responsive through email. He would respond back to my emails within 1-2 business days. Professionalism: Mikal was very professional and answered any questions that we had. He gave us great recommendations in regards to our day-of wedding timeline and kept us on track throughout our wedding. He got along very well with our videographer and all the staff at our wedding venue. He also captured all of the important moments throughout our wedding day. Photo style & quality: Bright, light, and very romantic and dreamy. Photo quality was very clear and printed photo enlargements (16X20) turned out great! Turnaround time: We received all of our edited digital photos a little over 3 weeks after our wedding. This was extremely fast and many of our friends were surprised at how quick the turnaround time was! read more

This review is long overdue! My now husband Brian and I were looking for a photographer and we are so fortunate we found the AMAZING Mikal with LOKITM for our wedding on 11/11/2017! The price was very reasonable--I couldn't find a better package for a photographer of his caliber here in the Bay Area. We were also able to negotiate a group deal for Mikal to shoot our wedding here in Norcal along with my friend Maria's wedding the day before also here in the Bay Area. We had seen Mikal's work before when he photographed our friends' wedding in SoCal and knew how amazing his work was and wanted to book him immediately. We are so grateful he and Catherine were willing to travel up here to shoot our wedding and they were so professional, amazing and easy going. The day of the wedding Mikal and Catherine were early to the venue (whereas we were late, darn that GPS that made us back track) and he was super calm and cool as a cucumber throughout the day. They were both very friendly, professional, and easy going. It helped a lot that Mikal was able to provide us with some guidance on how to pose and where to look because we had no idea what to do during the different takes. We also requested certain shots with family as well, and a mix of photos close up and far away and Mikal made sure to get that all done for us. He perfectly captured the essence of our wedding: all the emotion, laughter, and love. The day after our wedding we received about 25 favorite/teaser photos from Mikal on Facebook, super quick!!! Then a month later we received all our photos online and our USB in the mail with printouts of some of his favorite shots. We love our wedding photos so much and blew some up and gave them to our families as holiday gifts this Christmas...everyone loved them! We are so pleased with the quality of their work and happy we can continue to relive the day for years to come. Thank you Mikal and Catherine for all your hard work in photographing our special wedding day! read more

LOKITM Wedding Photography - Sunset photo for our wedding! - Event Photography Near Me

Mikal was absolutely amazing and everything we could have asked for!! We had an engagement photo shoot, and then he and a great assistant photographed our wedding. He was fun to spend time with, made us feel comfortable, and of course produced beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. He was communicative and accommodating during multiple date changes during the pandemic. His service was priced well and was an amazing quality in all ways. We've recommended him to all our friends that have needed a wedding photographer since! read more

LOKITM Photography is the best! Mikal was really nice and easy going from the moment we met him. My husband and I had our engagement photos with Mikal first and he made it really easy! We were both really nervous about posing for photos and he made it a fun and easy experience! Not only did he make us look great in the photos, he made us feel great while taking them! It was 100 degrees the day we took the engagement photos and we all managed to stay sane and ended up with incredible photos. For the wedding, we had Mikal and Christian take our photos and it was amazing again! They both were easy to work with and made all of the bridesmaids and groomsmen comfortable. Nate and I were not as nervous this time around because we knew that the photos would look great! I also appreciate Mikal and Christian's sense of humor and easy going personalities! Weddings can be very stressful and they were both there to keep us smiling throughout the night! I highly recommend Lok In the Moment for any photos you need! Mikal and his team will not disappoint you! read more

My experience with a photographer couldn't have been any better. My husband and I are very low key people and really would prefer to be who we are rather than trying to portray a magazine cover. WE GOT BOTH! Mikal is so incredibly easy to get along with he's laid back and makes you feel so comfortable. Our engagement pictures was a perfect time to get to know him and get comfortable in front of the camera so we were ready, come wedding time. On the wedding day he brought his helper Julian who was equally awesome. I continue to get so many compliments "You're going to have such great photos because your photographers were everywhere!" And the best part about that was I didn't even notice where they were. They were respectful of my space and allowing me to live in the moment to consider this being the biggest day of my life instead of worrying about if I'm smiling in that picture or is that my good angle? I was able to go through the day doing all the things and talking to all the people that meant so much to me and he captured every moment. Can't wait for the next reason to need a photographer. Mikal will be my first call. read more

We highly recommend LOKITM Photography. Mikal was very accomodating, down to earth and up front from the moment we met with him. He truly wants to get to know his clients to provide the best services possible. Our engagement photos were awesome! He made it very easy and comfortable to be photographed. The day of the wedding was much of the same. Mikal anf Julius were very easy to work with and their photos really take us back to those special moments throughout the day. It was a pleasure working with both of them and we highly recommend them! read more

My husband Pedro and I booked LOKITM for our wedding a few months ago (our review is long overdue) and we couldn't be happier to have them capture one of the most important days of our lives. Mikal also did our engagement session at Joshua Tree and the pictures were stunning!!! Mikal was very professional since day one, always prompt to reply and punctual. He always made us feel comfortable during our photoshoots and had many ideas. The day of the wedding Mikal and Julius were so attentive, and did an amazing job at capturing all the details and everything we asked him to capture. Julius was also great! We've gotten soooo many compliments about our engagement/wedding pictures. Look no further, i assure you, that you will be so pleased with LOKITM (professional service, easy to work with and amazing pictures)! Thank you Mikal and Julius! read more

This review is long over due! My husband and I were looking for wedding photographers and came across Mikal's Instagram! We loved his work and set up an appointment to discuss the different packages that he offers. All the packages were reasonably priced and we even get to personalized our package which we loved! Mikal was very attentive and answered all of our questions! On both the day of our engagement and wedding shoot, Mikal and Julius made the whole wedding party felt at ease! We had so much fun taking our pictures that the time just flew by like that! We would totally recommend LOKITM! read more

My husband and I are beyond HAPPY with our wedding & engagement pictures. We have been married for 4 years and recently had a religious ceremony. As soon as we started planning we knew that we wanted Mikal and his team to capture our special day. Mikal is very detail oriented and asked about our vision. We shared with him that we love the desert and nature so he suggested places that would bring our vision come to life. Most importantly our pictures captured the love and emotion of our wedding day and to us that is priceless. If you are looking for AMAZING photography team look no further and be assured that you are in the best of hands. read more

He was the probably the best part and easiest to coordinate for my wedding. Execution was flawless! read more

LOKITM Wedding Photography - Event Photography Near Me

I love LOKITM! I was a bridesmaid for three of my friends' weddings and they all selected LOKITM as their photographer. I am not comfortable in front of the camera and spend a lot of time goofing around to distract the attention from me. Mikal and Julius do a great job of providing guidance to get those profesh wedding photos and use any awkwardness/goofiness to their advantage to create awesome candid shots. I also love the natural color and softness that they are able to capture. When I finally got engaged, I had no doubts about hiring LOKITM for our engagement shoot and special day. Because of their vast experience, I easily found inspiration from their portfolio to dream up the theme and location for our photo shoots. The engagement photo shoot was a breeze and we received them in a timely manner as requested for our save-the-dates. The wedding was a long day and I am grateful for the time and effort Mikal and Julius put in. We shot in multiple locations with several people but they were both invested in getting shots to everyone's liking. It was so easy to communicate with them and change plans when needed. The photos came out amazing and so many people complimented on how kind the photographers were. I would recommend LOKITM over and over again to anyone. read more

We chose Mikal to do our engagement and wedding shoot. On both occasions, Mikal and his assistants (James and Julius) did an amazing job. Each of them are professional but very approachable. Our engagement shoot was done at the Japanese garden in CSULB--the weekend of graduation! So you can imagine how busy it was in the garden. We even spotted another couple getting their engagement shoot done too. But Mikal and James were able to pull through and photograph us as if we had the whole garden to ourselves! Fast forward several months later to our wedding. It was crazy busy, but Mikal and Julius were able to capture a lot of beautiful moments that day. Our photos arrived much sooner than anticipated, and they turned out stunning. I love that the shots can range from dramatic to simplistic, but beautiful all the same. It was great working with him. A part of me misses having our own "paparazzi"! read more

We highly recommend Mikal & Julius (LOKITM) as your event photographers :) Photography Quality: Clear, Great color, Photographers know how to take advantage of lighting and depth of field. Understands and able to capture key moments (Wedding). Photographers: Professional, organized and orderly, easy to get along with, knows how to keep a timeline and work with family members and friends Mikal and Julius go above and beyond in their work. Their photo work comes out very natural and captures the days events in a classic style that we've enjoyed looking over since receiving them. They're naturals when navigating and staging their photo opportunities throughout the day. They're organized, know how to work with locations, family members and finding a balance between giving order to be able to get the photos you want but also allowing the day to flow naturally. LOKITM for us were hired for Engagement / Wedding photography and during those days, we were able to focus on taking care of the days various events - while Mikal and Julius worked in the background taking care of their business. They're also great photographers for traditional Asian weddings - meaning they are aware of the nuance differences in relation to a standard American Style wedding. (They're great at American style weddings as well) As for the final Products, quality is great and delivered in a timely manner for us to enjoy. Recommendations: Contact them early for your dates rather than last minute. Provide a clear, detailed outline of the days events to help them plan their day. Remember to use your allotted hours wisely. In regards to cost, we feel that we definitely got our money's worth (Great Quality Photos and very easy to work with during the days events). read more

Okay, I'm a yelper, but I didn't find Mikal on Yelp..who would have known that? I initially fell in love with his work by reading some blogs and I saw his pictures. I told my then fiance about it and we decided we were going to book him. Let me tell you, it was the best decision we ever made going with LOKITM. Not only is he friendly, punctual, fun, out-going, and very personable; his willingness to work with your budget and go the extra mile is evident. He is very professional and shows it. When we took our engagement photos, I knew we were in good hands. The pictures came back more than what we expected. He has an eye for what looks good. Most of the posing is freestyle, but he does direct you if he sees something he likes. He knows what makes you look good and it shows in his pictures. We just got married this past weekend and we've seen some sneak peaks of the pictures, and let me tell you, we are blown away! If you are looking for a wedding photographer, LOKITM photography with Mikal Lok is a no brainer. If I could give Mikal 6 stars I would. He and his associate photographers were nothing but gracious and kind. If I could do it all over again, I would pick LOKITM in a heartbeat. read more

Lok in the Moment is by far the best wedding photographer I've known and have worked with. Mikal (the photographer) is awesome! He delivers exactly what you want... and even exceeds many expectations. This business is based in Orange County, but of course, the business also travels! I had a LIFE photoshoot with him back in February, and I just LOVED his work. Actually, everyone who saw those pictures loved his work. In fact, one of my friends flew him out here to Seattle to do her wedding photography, and two other couples in Washington got their engagement photos done by him. His work is amazing... and his clients have not only fell in love with his work, but also with him. Who wouldn't? He's great to work with... very professional, yet friendly and really cares about and takes care of his clients. I think you can find MORE of his most recent work on his blog: http://lokinthemoment.wordpress.com I'm trying to book him for my own wedding... here in Seattle... or anywhere that I'll be getting married! read more

We were extremely lucky to have found such a great photography team in Mikal and Julius at Lok In The Moment. We met with at least 5 photographers and were reaching a point of desperation as all of them didn't give us the sense of being there to make our day special but rather to over charge and make a quick buck. However, during our first meeting with Mikal we instantly got the feeling that he was in it for us and really cared about what our vision was for our wedding and wedding pictures. Additionally, my wife instantly gave me the look of approval that this was our guy. Especially knowing the fact that unlike other photography studios, we were not only going to work with an assistant photographer but the actual person with their name on the Company Logo. We were able to speak openly and he would always be fully engaged to what my wife or I had to say. He walked us through all the various packages LOKITM had to offer and was helpful in making it fit within our budget. Looking through the sample albums he had available during our package review solidified our perception of Mikal and his work product and how much he cared. Our engagement shoot was at our alma mater and we had the time of our lives. Just like all the other couples, we started a bit nervous. However, with Mikal and his team along for the ride they helped us relax and actually enjoy our session. Mikal was able to leverage all of our surroundings and obtain the best possible pictures. When our engagement album arrived we were just blown away and knew that when the time would come to receive our wedding album it would also exceed our expectations. As our wedding day approached he would reach out to us to confirm our intended timelines and wishlist of must-have pictures. Since our ceremony was at Waferers Chapel, time was of the essence as you are allotted only a certain amount of time. It could not have gone any smoother than it did as Mikal was on point with getting all the MUST pictures done and performed magnificently. Mikal and Julius captured all of our special moments and more at the church. Their work ethic continued strong throughout the evening at our wedding reception, as they worked the hallways and staircases at the Ayres Hotel like they never had been before. His creative juices were running wild and you could see the excitement as he led us from one area of the hotel to the next. Even as our special day was coming to an end Mikal was still snapping away and capturing all the moments that he could. We were recently provided the link to our wedding photos and they were absolutely amazing!!! We could not have asked for more. All the must have pictures were there and all the candid photos were there to enjoy as well. All together, we would recommend LOKITM without hesitation. Their professionalism, punctuality, and easy going personalities would make any stressed out bride and groom feel like their with family the whole time. Thank you Mikal & Julius for sharing our special day! You have truly made it unforgettable. All The Best, Johnny + Janelle read more

Mikal's portfolio and work speaks for itself. We loved what we saw online, so we decided to meet with him in person. From our first meeting, we were sold. Mikal is friendly, honest, and professional. He helped us put together a package within our budget and made recommendations to remove items that we did not want. The awkwardness at the beginning of our engagement photo shoot was expected, but Mikal quickly made us feel comfortable and we ended up having a great time. Mikal impressed us even more on our wedding day. He and his assistant photographer went above and beyond to help capture all the memorable moments of our special day. He was professional and patient with our families (who we're stressing out since they all wanted their own photos as well) and kept a great attitude the whole time. Choosing a great photographer to capture our wedding day was the most important decision made during the planning process. Mikal and LOKITM went above and beyond. Mikal is punctual, responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our photos turned out amazing and we couldn't be happier. If you are searching for a wedding photographer, look no further. Thank you Mikal!! read more

What can I say, Mikal Lok and his partner Julius did an AMAZING job at my wedding. They are very easy going and are the nicest people you'll ever meet. They will make your wedding day stress free. Also, whatever you want to capture on your wedding day, Mikal and Julius will make it happen. If you are looking for a wedding/engagement photographer, I would HIGHLY recommend Mikal Lok. My husband and I are very pleased on how our pictures turned out. Even our wedding party complimented Mikal and Julius on how beautiful the pictures turned out. Thank you, Mikal and Julius for capturing our special day. read more

Dearest LOKITM Team, There is so much to say in very little provided space but I will do my best to sum up all the great things. I'll write this review in categories as I find that is most useful when potential clients are doing their research. COMMUNICATION: I was able to reach out the the team via email and in 24 hours they were able to answer my query. I was quick to lock in the date that I wanted for the wedding. Once, that was completed the process was a simply a breeze. A few weeks before the wedding they sent us all the information we needed and proceeded with excitement. During the wedding as we had a full day of traditional Cambodian Ceremonies and I was pleased with Mikal and Julius's communication with our guests and others involved. They were clear and concise about the direction they wanted people to be in to capture the most important moments. Post wedding communication was great, since they knew we were going to be off in our honeymoon they were considerate of that and followed up a week later. They are really good with email communication as well as text communication especially on the day of the wedding as things can get a bit hectic. PROFESSIONALISM: It's simple, from the start of this photography seeking process to the very end the LOKITM team has been nothing but professional. They were on time, they were aware of the schedule and always made sure to see if the clients were okay. Not only professional but were empathetic of situations that arise during the wedding day. PHOTOS: The photos will speak for themselves but overall the attention to details and capturing the candid moments were priceless! My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased to have hired LOKITM. Hands down I would recommend them to anyone who is seeking a team of professional, creative and friendly photographers.Thanks for being a part of our wedding day to capture all of the lifetime of memories. Again with much love and appreciation, Mr. and Mrs. Sok Denver, Colorado read more

When we started the wedding planning process, my husband and I were told to start by hiring a wedding photographer because you want to ensure you get quality for your money. We got so much more than that! We found Mikal Lok and his team at Lok In the Moment Photography on Yelp. Based on previous reviews, we booked a consultation and were sold on the spot. Mikal really worked with us and helped us make the most of our budget. Mikal and his team (Julius) are absolute professionals. Always available for questions and always reassuring, my husband and I felt absolutely confident that we hired the right team to capture this once in a lifetime moment for us. It's no mistake their company name is "Lok In the Moment." Your wedding day goes by like a flash before your eyes and you need photographers that know exactly what they are doing to capture the magic and feel of each moment. Our wedding was exactly four months ago today and looking at our photos takes me back to the moments of our wedding day every time. The way they were able to capture our wedding day from start to finish, especially the shots of the architectural details of our church, simply take our breath away. Thank you Mikal and Julius for such an amazing experience and for capturing all of our wedding moments. We are truly thankful and would hire you again in a heartbeat!! Iris and Aurelio read more

As a Wedding Planner we don't just look for a team that produces great photos but that have excellent communication skills, come dressed for the wedding in style, have a great personality and flow well with all vendors - Mikal does all this and more!

LOKITM team is amazing! (We had them for engagement and wedding photos) They were one of the vendors in which I did not have to stress or worry about. They were very professional, on time to our wedding day, and has a quick turnaround time. They were able to capture a lot of the beauty in the locations and venue throughout the day. We were so worried that our venue wasn't "magical" enough to produce nice photos, but they were able to capture a lot beautiful photos that surpassed our expectations! Even better, they were able to provide us a "teaser/highlight" photos literally 24 hours after our wedding. A bride always is so anxious about seeing the photos, but I was SO ecstatic to see them the next day! We received the rest of the photos about 6 weeks after the wedding, and he kept us updated throughout the process. Mikal is as cool as a cucumber, that we felt relaxed throughout the day since we are always so worried about the timeline on the wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend Mikal for all weddings and engagement photo sessions! read more

Mikal is a perfectionist! Best photographer by far any bride can ask for. From day one meeting with Mikal he was so easy going and he was all for it when I told him I wanted to custom my own package. I knew then I had to have him as my photographer for my wedding. Before & After wedding, any question or concern I had he was there to answer in my book that's a PLUS! Upon getting our albums and he also did photo slideshow for us. I teared! So beauitful! Mikal captured every details of my wedding that will last me and my husband a lifetime! I love his work! read more

We were lucky enough to work with Mikal under a 100 degree weather. He did photos and we filmed video. Even under the sweltering sun, he kept his cool, made sure our clients were comfortable and still came up with great photos despite the harsh light! What really impressed me was as he was leaving, he saw that the sun was setting and the sky was overcast. He immediately went back to our clients and asked them to pose for more photos outside because the lighting was much better. He could have just left because he was all packed, but he wanted to make sure our clients got really great photos! That's love for his craft for ya! :) read more

Mikal is seriously the best photographer! Hired him last year for my maternity photo shoot, this year he did my engagement and wedding!

LOKITM Wedding Photography - Our wedding - Event Photography Near Me

Working with Mikal and Julius for my engagement photos and wedding was a great, seamless experience! All throughout the event, they were there to capture key moments and memories. All of our guests commented on how amazing they were, too. They sent the online gallery and a USB with the files within a month, and we loved the photos. My parents, who are the ones we got a photographer for, were very pleased with the photos. Some really nice things: - Mikal made it easy for us, he was fast to communicate and always professional. - Julius was awesome! - they were very patient with the guests that wanted to use their own phones to take photos (and wouldn't leave!). They communicated (very professionally) that they would be taking photos after our "paparazzi guests" snapped a few shots. We couldn't have asked for anything better. I sincerely appreciate Mikal and Julius, and highly recommend them for weddings! read more

Absolutely amazing ! I booked Mikal for our engagement and wedding photos and my husband and I couldn't be happier. Planning a big wedding can be super overwhelming but photos were a big priority.

For the wedding day , he made things seamless and easy. He has a great eye and we now have beautiful photos forever. Thank you so much Mikal for taking care us on the best day of our lives ! read more

I met Mikal about a year ago while doing my clients hair for her wedding. He had two assistants with him and they were all very professional. I wasn't able to spend too much time with them because they came when i was finishing up with hair, but I could tell that these guys definitely knew what they were doing. From what i saw, Mikal and his assistants were very laid back, not pushy like alot of other photographers i come across during weddings. I was very satisfied with the photos from my clients wedding (they went into my portfolio also!) His photos are very artsy and modern, not your typical, boring photographer! Book him for your events, you won't be disappointed! read more

Mikal was referred to us by my husband's friend who'd also had Mikal photograph his wedding, and I could immediately see why: from our first meeting to the day we received our wedding photos, Mikal was the best! He communicated throughout the entire process with us, asked us what we wanted as well as gained our trust to get creative with some shots. From our engagement shoot to the wedding, all of our pictures came out fantastic, and I loved the convenience of having the online file as well as the usb for both. Thank you so much for a great experience! read more

Mikal is an excellent photographer! He took our engagement photos this year and we have received so many compliments on how great they came out. His professionalism transcends into the detail and quality of work he delivers. He has captivating imagination where my fiance and I were unsure. His directing made us feel and look comfortable in our own skin and was really able to capture the love we have for one another!

Mikal and Julius are amazing! We got in contact with them after they were highly recommend to us by one of our close friends that used them for their wedding. When I first reached out to them, Mikal explained the whole process. We had engagement pictures done by Mikal. We had no idea what to wear or where to take them. Mikal gave us a few tips and highly suggested a place (we wanted a beach setting). My husband and I aren't picture taking people, but Mikal made us feel completely comfortable. The pictures came out amazing. Flash forward to our wedding, pictures again are completely amazing. The USB with the pictures was priority shipped to us in a beautiful box. They communicate with us the whole time. Can't say enough good things about this team. read more

LOKITM Wedding Photography - Event Photography Near Me

I'm not used to being in front of the camera, but Mikal made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. He had a lot of great ideas and his work speaks for itself. I knew that Mikal took great photos, but I think the fact that he puts so much effort into it is what makes him special. He even took the time to explain lighting details and angles in a way that made perfect sense. He's professional and very easy to work with. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great photographer for any kind of event to contact Mikal. You won't be disappointed! read more

I hired LOKITM for our wedding on 09/2018. My husband and I could not be any happier with Mikal and his team. They did a wonderful job at capturing every moment of our special day. If you want a photographer whose is going to go above and beyond LOKITM is it. Thank you Mikal and team! read more

My friend purchased her photography package through a company that contracts out to photographers. After reviewing the portfolio of the photographer to which she was first assigned, we were all disappointed. It was not the artistic and poised style she had hoped for. We called to request a different photographer, and Mikal was assigned to her wedding. Mikal arrived about the same time as the videographers. They had never met, but they got along so well you would think they were all one team. This made for a smooth, fun, and fluid experience. Mikal took a lot of artistic shots. Recently, the photos came out and I was able to see them online. I thought they were wonderful. The bride liked the photos too, but was not as impressed as me. I guess this is to be expected, as brides always want everything to be uber perfect (like, gag me with a spoon!). She got a good deal, we all had a ball, and the photos spoke for themselves. Thanks! read more
