I chose Bethany because her work stood out with the way she beautifully captures candid emotion, especially those subtle, raw moments of motherhood. For my son's 1 year milestone session, I didn't feel like I had to perform or pose. I just spent time loving on my little guy, and Bethany did her magic. She caught the sweetest, most natural moments between us, photos that truly reflect the love I feel for him. The images are full of heart and detail, with unique perspectives that I'll cherish forever. I'm so grateful for her eye, her calming presence, and how effortlessly she preserved such a special time in our lives.

Not only is she incredibly talented behind the camera, but she's also kind, patient, and truly thoughtful. She works wonderfully with kids, and goes the extra mile--like choosing a location that's accessible for my dad, who has difficulty walking far. Bethany has been capturing our family memories for about five years now, and every session is a joy. What used to be a dreaded task for my husband has turned into something he actually enjoys because with Bethany, it doesn't feel like a photo shoot. It feels like a fun day out, and somehow, she still manages to get the most stunning, natural photos, especially during golden hour. Her rates are reasonable, turnaround time is solid, and communication is always smooth. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

I won a free maternity photoshoot from David. This was to include a free photoshoot and 1 free canvas printout. That sounds too good to be true. I was very excited as money was tight before welcoming a new baby, so i bought a dress & paid to get my hair done. We had the photoshoot, which was great. Everything seemed amazing! David and Lina did a great job, so we tipped them very generously. When our photos were ready we set up a viewing time and we were met with a sales pitch during that. To purchase any of the photos we took that day were very expensive, and unaffordable to us at the time. I'm now left with only 1 photo, my free print out, from that day. I was left feeling very embarrassed. So although this isn't technically a scam, it was very shady. I could've chosen a photographer of my own liking and budget and came out paying less and have all my precious memories. I want to add after David's reply that they were not clear and upfront about what the photoshoot included or what the price packages started at. Because if i knew that before i would've chosen a photographer of my own liking. I'm leaving this review to warn others that if you won a "free photoshoot" you will have to spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars to keep those pictures

We had our wedding at Rancho Las Lomas in Silverado, CA on 9.25.10. After doing some extensive searching for a photographer, we are so happy that we went with Memories by Michael. Our worries about taking awkward photos went away after our engagement session with him (which I highly recommend) - we felt relaxed and excited both then and on our wedding day. My family members commented that he made them feel at ease for their pictures too. He's very accessible, will spend lots of time with you, and gives you exactly what you want. We just put the photos on our wall this weekend and are very happy with them! read more

The Best Photographer! Looking for a photographer on a…read morebudget can be overwhelming; fortunately we had a photographer on our side and Michael was willing to work with us. Michael is truly incredible!! From our first meeting with him it was a done deal. He has one of those instant calming personalities (brides trust me when I say you need this). The day of the wedding he met me and my ladies first (I'm sure most brides are aware the Wedding day of can get a little crazy). The bridesmaids, maid of honors and I were getting hair and makeup done, while getting dressed and so naturally our room got messy (just stuff everywhere). He was in our room taking pictures, making everyone laugh, reminding me to keep clam that we were doing great on time (I hate being late). He then went and took pictures of my Husband and groomsmen. He even managed to remove the price tag off the watch I bought my husband (I guess I got scatter brained and didn't remove it). When he returned to take pictures of me getting in my dress, he was so talented and helpful he even fixed the bow of my sash (my girls weren't doing a great job, ha-ha). The pictures of us getting ready are fabulous; it truly captures everyone having a great time. My bow was perfect and I have great pictures to prove it. At the ceremony he was everywhere (I only know this after reviewing the pictures). Every special moment of our vows, first kiss, gift to the Virgin Mary, and blessings were all captured exceptionally. He even got our parents, family, and friends' emotions to our vows. Reviewing each photo nearly brought me to tears, breathtaking and speechless are the best words I have to describe his work. I tried to sear each moment in my brain on our big day but the pictures were so well done I am able to relive it all!!! Bridal and bridal party portraits were fun and amazing. We had such great time and great pictures of my husband and me dancing, racing each other, and our glamour shots. I felt so pretty that day but looking at the pictures I look like a model and my husband my prince charming. I have a grin that splits my face from ear to ear in every picture. We have great full length, and close ups of my husband and I. Every detail of my bouquet, dress, and my husband boutonniere are beautifully depicted. At the reception he took pictures of the venue before it started, so we have great shots of the flowers, cake, candy station, and our guest during cocktail hour. Every moment was captured; our first dance, money dance, cake cutting, parents dance, and everyone having fun and dancing. I have a few favs of the reception, one would be of our first dance my husband and I are looking into each other's eyes, and the second would be of me flinging cake on my husband's face. Each picture are seconds captured in time. Looking over all the pictures for the photo album requires as much organization and patience's as planning the wedding! Doing this was as magical as our special day. My husband and I are truly pleased with our wedding day pictures. So pleased we used over 300 pictures in our wedding book (seriously so difficult because we loved them all). My advice to other brides, give your photography a reasonable/realistic budget (this is one of the few things you get to keep after the wedding). Second give Michael a call you will be glad you did. He's an extraordinary artist; every moment will be brilliantly captured.
