WALTER & WELNEY

Mikey was our wedding photographer. He was referred to us by our videographer and so glad we listens to their recommendation.

Mikey was thorough in asking all the pre-wedding questions (e.g. what my day would look like, special moments we'd want to capture, etc.). He also answered my photographer-related questions I had as a bride. I wanted to capture my large family and medium-large guest count with myself and my hubby in a timely manner. He had great suggestions for family photos and table photos! They worked well into our wedding day and were smooth.

The day of, Mikey was prompt, prepared and left me with nothing to worry about. He coordinated with my maid of honor and best man and I didn't have to worry about missing out on any photos. He had a second shooter, who was also just as professional and friendly. They were a great duo and worked will my videographer's team. Great to see he and his partner work well and for him to work well with my other vendors. Mikey was so friendly, professional and took photos without being in the way of the party. My guests even thought he was apart of my family because he was just as friendly and a part of us.

Our photos were amazing! So many to choose from and so many categories. He even took special photos we won't forget about (e.g. my hubby and daughter photo, a photo outside our reception and his AMAZING veil photos)!!

Mikey was definitely a huge part of our wedding day. We're super thankful to have worked with him and would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks Mikey!

STACIE & JAMES

Mikey is an amazing and talented photographer. He and his assistant are professional, communicate great, respond quickly to questions, funny, and easy-going. This is the type of professionals that you will want as it will take one less stress away on a stressful very important event and time of your life. I planned a last minute simple and quick wedding. I was lucky to find Mike and even more lucky that he was available. He responded to my inquiry the same day...actually, it was within minutes and we spoke on the phone immediately too. Now that is service!! He was super helpful on providing possible locations take photos and he is the one that told me about the chapel we got married at. We ended up taking photos at the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa, during a very hot time of the year. Mikey and his assistant were good sports and we were all sweatin' our behinds off. While I don't have most of my pictures yet, he sent a couple of previews and while all are fantastic, there is one that is exceptionally amazing. The angle and lighting shows his true talent and eye for this type of art. I cannot wait to see the rest. Thank you Mikey!!!

ERIC + HANNA

Mike is the best! I am so lucky and grateful to have found him for our wedding photos. From day one he had great communication, He met us in person, scoped out our venue to understand the layout/lighting and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. He was super easy to work with, he listened to all of my ideas, made us feel comfortable with the poses and he blended into the wedding day with the best energy. Our guests were blown away with how professional Mike and his team were. It really is peace of mind having someone like Mike there the day of your wedding because that day flies by and he captures all the little details, candids and special memories that we will cherish forever. I am so so happy with our photos and I could not recommend Mike enough. He really is everything you would want in a photographer. He goes above and beyond to make his clients happy. Book him! You won't regret it!

MIRANDA & KURT

If you are looking for an event photographer look no further. We we're lucky enough to find Mikey and have him photograph our wedding this past May. He was absolutely incredible. He so chill and easy to work with. The photos turned out AMAZING. If we could rate 10 starts we would. I would highly recommend Mikey for your next event! You won't be disappointed! Thank you Mikey!!!!!

ASHLEY & JOSH

Mike is completely AMAZING!!! I am beyond grateful our wedding coordinator referred him to us because I am so incredibly happy with how well he shot my wedding. We had never met with Mike in person prior to our wedding day, but once we met we instantly clicked and it was so easy to work with him. His amazing eye, happy and exciting personality was so fun to work with. Also, he is so subtle we didn't even notice he was taking pictures of us during our ceremony and reception; but those candid moments turned out so perfectly. I am looking forward to the future photography sessions I may need so I can either refer people I know to him, or to have him photograph my other events. My wedding day was so much more magical having him there as our photographer, he really knows how to capture love in a beautiful light. Thanks again, Mike!!!

MARLENE & JOE

Mike and his assistant were amazing! It was so nice we’re with a team that was so friendly, attentive and knew how to make the experience relaxing and enjoyable! Would recommend Mike Federis photography to everyone! They captured our wedding celebration perfectly!!

REEZA & ROBBIE

Mike was such a pleasure to work with! I found him after an extensive research on IG and Yelp! He is very communicative, which was such a plus during our wedding planning! We met him for the very first time for our engagement photo shoot and we immediately felt comfortable with him. He directed us and had such a good eye for the perfect shot. He was patient with us throughout the shoot. Mike is passionate about his work and you can tell he cares about his client and his work. He was quick to send us a preview/sneak peek the same day of the shoot and let me just say “ I CRIED!” The photos were so beautiful. I cannot wait to share them with friends and family for our Save the Dates and wedding website. I look forward to working with Mike on our big day next year! I know we are in good hands and I trust that our photos will help us remember the day as it was. Thank you so much, Mike for being such a gem of a photographer and person! We cannot wait for you to be part of our special day next September!

-Reeza and Robbie

SHARON & JEFF

I’m so happy we were able to work with Mike for our wedding photos. He was so easy to communicate with, very professional and fun! Our photos and video turned out amazing!! We got them back quickly and are extremely happy with his work. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a fantastic photographer at a reaso

BRENDA & LUKE

I had my dream wedding photo shoot in Joshua Tree thanks to Mike. I’m so blown away by the shots he got of us plus he sent over some pictures the same night. Not only that, but he has also gone above and helping me find other amazing vendors for my wedding. I’m beyond grateful for everything.

CYNTHIA & COREY

Mike was absolutely amazing to work with. He was professional, on time and just simply awesome. He captured our wedding beautifully. We aren't fans of being in front of the camera but Mike made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely be using Mike for any and all future events. Highly recommended!!

CASSIDY + KARSON

Mike Federis is an extremely talented, professional, and hard working photographer. He showed up early to our venue, stayed late, and made sure he got every shot we requested (and then some!) We received so many compliments about the photos- the most common comment was that our wedding looked like a fairy-tale (lighting, romantic scenery, etc.) I cannot recommend Mike enough and I will be getting in touch w him for future shoots!

FASAYO + NNAEMEKA

Mike did a fantastic job with the photos. He is very professional and pays attention to details. He has very creative ideas and his creativity translates to the quality of the photos. He was very flexible with timing which was helpful for my schedule. Would definitely recommend his photography skills over again.

BRAD & BREANNA

Mike photographed our wedding and did such an amazing job! He did an engagement shoot with us before the wedding as well. Our engagement photos came out super cute! He definitely helped us out of our comfort zone to create some really beautiful photos. Super thankful he was our photographer for our wedding. He photographed so many beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. He is extremely talented, professional, and fun. All of our family and friends were super impressed. We even ended up extending his time because he was doing such a great job! Also he coordinated with our super busy schedules and was VERY flexible.

JUSTIN + SUZANA

We have had the pleasure of working with Mike for both our engagement photos and wedding. After our engagement shoot, we were so impressed with his work so we asked him to fly out to Texas for our wedding and he did with no hesitation! He was so easy to work with, even from a different state. He is very timely in his communication and is incredibly organized with planning.

His work speaks for itself. His photography is second to none. He is diligent, fast, and an incredibly hard worker. He will absolutely make sure you get all the perfect shots. When your wedding is over, all you have left is the memories and photos. We are SO happy we trusted Mike with this important piece of our special day. Not only did we end up with the BEST wedding pictures and video, we ended up with a great friend.

MAYRA + JUSTIN

I got so lucky with being able to book Mike for our wedding. He is so professional, kind, timely, and incredibly talented. He was able to photograph my husband and I, who are SUPER awkward when it comes to photographs, so perfectly and naturally. The photos he provided are so beautiful and Feel so magical. I have received so many compliments. I have had to print duplicates because my friends and family want copies. I will be forwarding his contact info to all my friends and family. Thank you Mike!

JON + RENEE

Mike has done our engagement and now our Wedding photography. Having to plan a wedding out of state was already tough. It was difficult not knowing contacts out of state. I looked to Mike. Mike did such amazing work during our engagement shoot - that was a day We will never forget. It was an easy decision to keep Mike for our most important moment - the wedding day. I flew Mike to Texas to participate in our wedding. There wasn't a moment left untouched and as much as the stress of the wedding day can turn out to be, Mike pieced it all together. he went above and beyond to make sure everything was as smooth as can be. During the ceremony I was hoping the photography process wouldn't distract or take away from the focal points of the wedding - Mike made sure that process was blended in and it was amazing how subtle and quiet the shots were during the most important moments of the ceremony, I really appreciated that Mike was able to capture all the candid moments we really wanted in the end. He also really took time to grab some amazing personal shots throughout the day. we are just so amazed he was able to be a part of our big day and every shot will forever be in our memories for decades and decades to come. You guys NEED to get Mike on board with whatever shots you need captured. He's on another level! 

Thanks for everything mike!

JON + RENEE

Mike is pretty much a stud. It was an amazing experience. He is very professional from day 1. He makes sure everyone is on the same page, prior to the shoot. It was very comfortable to shoot with Mike. Photography can be stressful especially when it's done in the middle of nowhere and it's 90 degrees outside. Mike made the experience very calming and we forgot how hot it was very fast! The future wife and I decided to do our shoot in the Glamis Sand Dunes. We all carpooled and drove down there and it experienced it together. Mike learns the environment he shoots in very fast and adapts. He grabbed some amazing shots Renee and I will remember for life. We even had a special request to have a solo shoot with our pup and he was able to accommodate our request and give us memories of our pup that will last a lifetime. Thanks mike. You da man!

JUSTINA + RYAN

We loved working with Mike. He was extremely professional and very fun to work with. He helped us come with with a location, directed all the pictures and captured us in the most Beautiful settings. We can't wait to work with him again at our wedding.

SEAN + LAUREN

Had the pleasure of working with mike for an engagement photo shoot. Mike really makes the session fun and professional he gives suggestions and has a keen eye for a great shot. We captured some quality photos in the short amount of time we did have. It went by quick. Mike has state of the art equipment and camera set ups and my fiancé was really happy with the experience overall (happy spouse , happy house) his turn around time on his edits and prints was so quick i don't think anyone in the business is as fast as mike. It's important to make memories that will last a lifetime. If youre looking for a photographer to make lasting memories look no further. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mike he makes it easy and i appreciate his high quality work and fun environment 5/5 stars unmatched in my opinion

SUZANA + JUSTIN

We had so much fun taking engagement pictures with Mike! He was great at communicating with us before our shoot, even met with us at a coffee shop before the shoot to work out details! He brought his fiancé along to help out and she was such a joy to be around! They both made us very comfortable and the pictures speak for themselves, he takes INCREDIBLE shots.

MALIK + FARHANA

I love how innovative you were. You played music to make if feel more natural you told us exactly how to pose and you took the lead in making sure the things that would slip my mind you would catch it, I would say you were much more than a photographer you were like a engagement planner! Great experience. 

BRIAN + DIANE

Words can't express how happy I am that I made the right choice of photographer for my wedding day. Mike Federis is amazing! I will definitely recommend him.
He is easy going, talented and kind hearted. He listens to his client's needs and despite of the pandemic he willingly helped me out. He drove all the way to Anaheim Hills from Riverside for a very reasonable price. Me and my husband loved all his shots. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

WALTER & WELNEY

Seriously need a photographer for anything and everything? Mike Federis is your man.

Naturally, with all the experience he has over the course of many years, we knew our memories of our day would be amazing in his hands.

Our photos are one of a kind, through his direction and detail orientation, it was like a model shoot dedicated to us.

He is kind, charming, and made us feel good after every shot.

I can't thank Mike enough for this, but I'm so glad our memories are saved forever. He is simply the best of the best.

TED & SUZI

Mike did our wedding on June 18, 2022. We knew from the moment we connected that he was going to be wonderful photographer...Mike is energetic, personable and beyond talented at his craft! Mike was so kind and thoughtful to not just us but to our friends and family as well the day of our wedding. We highly recommend Mike for capturing any special moment in your life. Thanks for everything Mike!

ANGELO & MARIA

I wanted to write an update as our wedding has now passed. Mike shot both our engagement photos and our wedding.

Mike and his second shooter, Nick, made us feel so comfortable and calm the entire day. He directed us with ease. He took the most beautiful photos for us to remember our wedding day forever.

Mike was so much fun to work with. His professionalism and confidence is unmatched and made our wedding day absolutely amazing. He really makes you feel relaxed on a day that could be very high stress. He keeps the shots moving without making you feel rushed. Oh - and he's pretty awesome at photography too! He captured our happiness and love so perfectly and his photography style captured us as us. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I am so happy he was part of our wedding day!

NOAH & SILVIA

We could not have picked a better photographer for our wedding! From the very start Mike was always responsive, he would get back to us right away, and he helped a lot with the process since we were lost from the beginning, he even went as far as to help with our timeline. He followed up consistently leading to our wedding day and when the day finally came he was early, and just as kind in person as over the phone! Then back to the reason we hired him, the photos him and his assistant took were nothing short of amazing and they got them to us incredibly quick. Now we have beautiful photos to remind us of that day forever! Thank you again Mike I'd give more stars if I could, we are definitely going with you anytime we need a photographer!

SARAH & RICHARD

We just got our wedding photos back and I am beyond impressed. Looking back at the photos, I felt like I was transported back to that day and felt all of the emotions. Mike did such an amazing job and was so professional! We will cherish these photos for many years to come. We highly recommend Mike, you will not be disappointed!

LINDA & ADAM

I was suppose to get married in July 11, 2020, but due to covid my wedding was postponed not once, but twice. Originally, my husband and I were not planning to get a videographer, but a friend of mine recommended Mike because he had just did their wedding for both video and photography. He did an amazing job for them and I was sold.

It is rare to meet people who are not only talented at what they do, but someone who is genuinely just an amazing and humble person to add. Mike holds all these qualities plus more. He is professional, personable, super responsive whenever you have a question or need something. He makes you feel at ease and everyone in your party feel like you are talking to a friend instead of someone you hired which really helps when you already feel overwhelmed and stressed on your big day.

I highly recommend Mike if you are looking for someone who will capture those beautiful moments that sometimes gets overlooked that will bring tears to your eyes every time you watch or look at your photos like he did for for me. He truly is just amazing and no amount of words will be able to show my gratitude towards him. Check out his Instagram and just see for yourself.

Thank you for everything Mike! 11/20/21 will always be remembered and thank you for capturing our magical night. You were one of the best decision I made.

ERIKA & ALBERT

MIKE IS TRULY A GEM. We are obsessed with his work and all around persona. Our wedding day was perfect and Mike played a huge role in that. Not a single photo from our list was missed. His work ethic and passion for making his clients dreams come true is beyond anything we've seen. Throughout our (12 hr) day our guests complimented us non stop on Mike. We recieived our sneak peaks in less the 24 hours and our jaws dropped. Thank you for everything Mike, we found our photographer for a life time.

LENI & CHRISTINA

Mike Federis did a phenomenal job on our wedding photography! He captured all the important details, he was energetic, creative & easy to work with. Mike took photos of everyone in attendance like we asked. Thank you again Mike for capturing our beautiful union. ❤️ We highly recommend Mike Federis Photography!!

JOYCE & PAUL

Our experience with Mike was absolutely fantastic! He arrived earlier than expected and was so wonderful to work with! Mike went over and above with all aspects of our surprise wedding, ( our guests thought they were coming to my retirement party)! Mike even visited the venue prior to the event to find perfect locations for pictures and time of the day to shoot them! There are so many great photos and wonderful memories of our day! Thank you SO much, Mike, for capturing our special day so perfectly! We truly appreciated everything you have done for us!!!

MELISSA + NATHAN

This was a long-awaited review! We have been a long-time customer of Mike Federis Photography. Mike is such as an absolute pleasure to work with! On top of that he is friendly, professional, and great at his craft. He photographed my engagement shoot and wedding day - both of which I am pleased with. He worked together with my wife and I and had a sample timeline that made it much easier to plan my own wedding photos, and he really delivers on the day of, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera! Not only just for my wife and I but also for our family and friends!

Payment is simple - online and straight-forward. Communication was a breeze when it came to contacting him about all the little details before the event. Wedding guests complimented the photos, which turned out more beautiful than I had ever imagined. He had some teaser photos and quick edits provided for us if we wanted to share and post some on social media. But when the final edits came out, we were ecstatic!

He is such a humble guy with humble beginnings and he is gaining a lot of experience through lots of booking! He's someone I recommend to anyone looking for a photographer! He won't disappoint and you definitely won't regret it!

MARIA + ANGELO

Mike is an absolute dream to work with!

We hired Mike for both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding. He is very timely in his communication and will answer any questions you may have throughout the entire process. Mike is calm, straight forward, and efficient.

Our wedding photos are super important to us because most of our family will be coming in from out of town and we don't have a lot of photos together. I know he will do a great job wrangling my family together for photos on our wedding day.

He helped us pick a spot for our engagement photos by offering tons of recommendations - and even shared some of his favorite places to shoot with us.

On the day of our engagement shoot, Mike went above and beyond to help us find the best place to park and provided us with extensive directions on how to get to our shooting location.

My fiancé and I don't often take photos so we were unsure on how to pose and what to do. Mike walked us through all of the poses and made us feel super comfortable (and confident!) in front of the camera. The photos turned out amazing and I cannot rave about them enough!

Don't hesitate to book Mike. He has many years of experience and his demeanor really helps to put your mind at ease. I know that I will have one less thing to worry about on my wedding day with Mike being my wedding photographer.

MJ + TAM

So happy with how our wedding photos turned out! Mike previously did my graduation photos and he was the first on our mind for our wedding. We planned our backyard wedding last minute, about 2 months before because of covid. Luckily he was available and accommodating! He kept in contact through out our planning and even took initiative to contact the officiant to let him know to move our of the way for our ceremony kiss. We didnt have a planner and it was very nice of him to send us a sample timeline and give us ideas how to expedite taking pictures with family. We are so glad we worked with him and his gf! He really has an eye for great pictures. Thank you Mike!

MARIO + JENNIFER

WE are blessed to have Mike as our photographer!! He is an amazing person, professional, kind, enthusiastic, and a master at what he does! We found Mike through IG as we were scrolling through. It was also to our surprise that he had been roommates in the Marines with one of my close friends from back home. Small world!!

When booking our wedding photo session with Mike, he was very easy to talk to. He was straight forward, provided suggestions, and was very responsive to our needs.

When we finally got to taking pictures, Mike made us feel very comfortable and provided the guidance that we needed. He was very professional and was very detail oriented.

The pictures were finished within the same week and the quality was outstanding! The photos were vibrant and telling.

If you need someone for a photo session, Mike is the one to call!! We can't say enough positive things about him. We hope to work with you in the future Mike!! Cheers!

RUDY + LIEU

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this business!! Great personality, a winning character, and an extraordinary eye for the beauty of nature all around us. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Mike as our photographer.

My hubby and I decided to elope and last minute, decided we wanted to have some nice photos to commemorate us becoming husband and wife. Mike truly delivered and it wasn't easy! We were to take photos on our wedding day in Big Bear but 3.5hr commute changed things. Mike was able to pull off 2 gorgeous shots with 15 minutes of sunlight to work with in middle of snow! We rescheduled for 1-2 months later and he braved the trek and cold with us to deliver stunning memorable photographs and memories.

Truly grateful and I stated in my opening statement, HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

can’t say enough wonderful things about Mike!!

MIGUEL + IRENE

Before working with Mike, I had never done a photo session for myself. So, needless to say, I was pretty nervous when trying to find a photographer for my wedding. We contacted him for our engagement photos to see if we liked his work. Everything went beyond my expectations! That's why we decided to go with him for our wedding photos and can't wait to print so many of them. He gave us a few teasers so we could share with friends and family. A couple of weeks later, he had our album complete! So many wonderful memories of the entire day! He captured priceless moments and we are so grateful for them. He was on time and we had great communication with everyone on the big day! If you are in need of photos for a major event, the last thing you need is extra stress (you need people who are reliable). Mike is your guy! He is professional and works well with other teams. You will be happy you went with Mike, great photos and wonderful vibes! I highly recommend him!

SHANA + KENNY

Mike Federis is an easy going yet professional photographer. He won't waste your time as he is prompt for meetings and sessions. He communicates well and listens to what you want as a client. If you aren't a professional model he can easily guide you in natural comfortable positions. If you're feeling creative he has great suggestions for making your photos dynamic. He's knowledgeable about various locations which can help get ideas stirring for your future photo shoots.

ANABEL + ADRIAN

There are many photographers who can shoot your photo, but Mike stands out amongst the crowd! As a nervous bride to be, I had so many questions about our shoot: how do we dress, where's a great location, what time of day is best, how to pose... smile or grin, etc etc etc. With that said, Mike is not only incredibly talented, but also a PROFESSIONAL. He has clearly put in a lot of time and work in his craft, as he was able to calm my nerves, direct us in the very best direction, and take the most perfect shots of my love and I. We will look back to these photos many years down the road, and be so grateful we chose Mike to capture this moment of time in our love story.

ASHLEY + DANIEL

If you're looking for someone to take photos of your special day- look no further, THIS IS YOUR GUY! 
I'm not one who enjoys photos of my face or the weird expressions it makes when I'm happy- but I loved EVERY SINGLE PHOTO I got back from him. He captured all the best moments and all of our crazy requests. If he gave out punch cards for all the times you worked with him - I would book him for my dogs birthday parties to earn more stamps

CASSIDY + KARSON

Mike Federis is a committed, talented, professional. My fiancé and I booked him as our wedding photographer and he included a free engagement photo session. Mike drove to Malibu for the photo shoot, arrived early to scout the location, and even brought back up equipment due to the smoky weather. My fiancé and I were a tad worried about the hazy smoke from current wildfires, but Mike was truly adept at playing with the camera, finding natural lighting and interesting poses. He stayed late to get the perfect last shot, and kept us calm and relaxed throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend Mike's skill enough- he is a fantastic photographer!

JERICHA & BRENT

Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was easy to work with and a wonderful communicator. We got the exact type of pictures that we wanted and we even got a preview of them quite quickly! The video work he did for us was fantastic as well. If you have any need for a photographer, I would absolutely recommend Mike.

ART & ALLISON

We just had our engagement shoot last weekend in San Diego and Mike was just amazing! He was very timely, communicated days before the appointment, and was well prepared to make the magic happen. Best of all he's extremely nice, easygoing, and has an artsy eye for the best shots.

JENNIFER & RICK

I cannot say enough great things! Mike was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole planning process. We told him we were going to have an engagement party with a surprise reveal wedding and wanted to capture our guests surprised faces. He and his assistant exceeded our expectations and amazed us with his wonderful pictures captured. Mike is very professional: scheduled to scout out the location ahead of time so he was prepared of the lighting/ location, brought all of his equipment, and had wonderful drone shots to add the beautiful scenery to our video.
Not only were the pictures timeless, the video had everything we could have dreamed of and so much more! Amazing editing and timely delivered pictures to cherish for a lifetime!
We will most definitely be calling Mike again for future events, as well as recommend him to everyone I know!
Thank you so much for capturing our perfect wedding day!

MARINEL & TIM

Mike is truly skillful, professional, and kind! He and his team went above and beyond as our wedding photographers. He is also very good with communication and responds quickly to any questions or requests. He arrived even earlier than the scheduled time and came well prepared. He works well with other suppliers which is very important. We received our photos so fast and they are all amazing!!! We’re very pleased with our photos. Mike is creative and he truly excels in photography. We really recommend Mike. We’re very thankful for him and and his team’s hard work and effort in capturing our wedding’s precious moments!

AUDREY & JORDAN

We can't thank Mike and his team enough for collectively doing the photography & videography for our wedding day last Friday (December 10th, 2021) at Monte De Oro Winery in Temecula, CA. He went above and beyond to capture what we so wanted to forever remember. We stayed in close contact to make sure the day's timeline was correct and he made sure we discussed what we wanted in terms of moments we wanted captured and if there were any inspiration photos we wanted to recreate as well. Even when the timeline was thrown off a bit on the day-of, him and the team accommodated the sudden change with ease so it was so smooth working with them. Him & his team were so punctual in terms of time to start (even got awesome drone shots in before our set time to even begin!) And the sneak peek he sent us the day after just shows how beautifully he captured everything so far (not going to lie, we got teary eyed again watching the clip lol), we can't wait to see the rest of the photos and our video soon!We will definitely be recommending him to others (shoutout to my new sis-in-law Brittany for the initial referral over to Mike, one of the best decisions we've made for our big day) and using his services again for our photography needs as well in the near future!

Jordan & Audrey

MARY & SCOTT

Mike did a fantastic job, and We can't thank Mike enough for all his hard work running around our ranch. Mike captured in the moments and all the love. We are so proud to support a veteran and his fantastic job, and he fit in with our big crazy family. His photos brought us all to tears and just made our hearts melt. Thank you, Mike for everything you did for us and our wedding.

DESIREE + MIGUEL

My husband and I had the most heartwarming and professional experience with Mike throughout our entire wedding planning process.

He is everything any couple could ask for during such a strenuous time. And ours was just that during certain moments. All I will say about that is,
Mike was truly understanding and worked with us without a second thought. He eased so much anxiety with his professionalism and ability to show complete and utter compassion.

He is incredibly selfless, thoughtful and giving.

He and his team were SO MUCH FUN to work with and are the whole package! Punctual and helpful!
Mike acts also as a coordinator and will provide you with a timeline of events which was SO helpful in our situation because we had no clue what we were doing.
He was so patient and knowledgeable and we just went with any and all recommendations he had!

His artwork truly speaks for itself. It's honest, pure and incredibly stunning.

We could not have asked for a better photography experience. He will definitely be our go-to for any and all future life events. And he is someone I will forever be recommending to friends, family members and strangers!

ETHAN + ARIANNA

Mike did an amazing job with our photos for our wedding. Unfortunately, our original wedding photographer bailed on us THE NIGHT BEFORE. Mike was more than willing to come out to Joshua Tree National Park on one nights notice to come and photograph our special day. He did an incredible job. The portraits he took with the amazing landscape in the background were truly spectacular. He was very professional and made my husband (who is camera shy) feel confident in front of the camera. He was able to work very well with our videographer as well. We highly recommend Mikey for your next event!

ERIKA + ALBERT

WE ARE ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED!! Mike is truly a master at his craft. We met with Mike during our hunt for a wedding photographer- our wedding planner spoke very highly of him and now we see why.

Starting with the initial zoom meeting with Mike we felt so comfortable and at peace knowing that he was confident in not only his work but that he could bring our vision to life.

Securing him to shoot for our wedding was so straight forward and easy, got right into scheduling our engagement shoot... and pictures got back to us within the same week!

The engagement shoot was so fun and Mike provided us with so much guidance throughout the shoot.

Cannot wait till the wedding date!

DANIEL + VANESSA

Mike took the time out of his day (on Christmas!) to help my fiancé with his surprise, sunset proposal. By far the best moment of our lives that we can now remember with beautiful photos. He directed us seamlessly and captured amazing pictures (despite us being emotional wrecks) He is very professional and we highly recommend his talents to anyone looking for a great experience and even better photos.

FRANCIS + LENCE

We are so happy we found MIKE! I did a lot of research in trying to find a photographer that we will like at a price that we could afford. From the very beginning mike was excited as we were for our wedding day. He is very professional and communicative. He went through the timeline process with us to make sure that he could cater what we like. we were impressed with our experience. Not only did he helped able to open up and physically show our affection, but he was able to photograph in such a MAGICAL WAY! He made the whole experience fun and comfortable.

DONNIE + MICAH

Mike is one of the best choices we made for the wedding! He collaborated so well with our vendors. My husband and I love him and his work. He is really fun to work with and very creative! He was able to help find great spots for our bridal photoshoot. He is prepared, easy going, and is very passionate about what he does. The moment we received our photos, we absolutely cannot stop admiring them!!! He captures everything from detailed shots, candid family moments, and even some "you just had to be there" moments. Here are some photos to brag!!

Thank you, Mike!
You have captured our dream wedding so beautifully.

We had the pleasure of working with Mikey during our engagement photo session. Mikey was referred to us by a friend who is a videographer who had raving reviews about Mikey. Mikey not only met our expectations, but he far exceeded them. He was patient, knowledgeable, very personable, and made the experience fun, easy, and most importantly memorable. Mikey has a great eye for detail and was able to capture great shots. Mikey also displayed great professionalism and expertise by recommending certain poses and photo locations and coordinating the outfits we brought based off the scenery.
Mikey was able to quickly edit our photos and we were thrilled with the final results. Without hesitation we would highly recommend Mikey and are excited and grateful that he will be shooting for our wedding. Thanks Mikey for the amazing photos. We can't wait to see you at the wedding and for future photo sessions.

We had such an awesome experience with Mike. He knows how to guide his clients into the adventure they didn't know they needed! Very prompt, very professional, and we felt very secure with his knowledge on the area and wildlife.

DAVID + MARY ANNE

My fiance and I were overwhelmed with many choices for photographers. We ended up choosing Mike Federis and we are so glad we did. Mike is very friendly, responsive, easy going and easy to talk to. Mike is very professional and has a keen eye for settings, lighting and angles. He is definitely unique in his style. I recommend him for engagement photos and wedding services! He also has services and packages available for both photography and videography and collaborates with another videographer! Both are extremely amazing and fun to work with! They are both passionate at what they do and it shows! It was an easy choice for my fiance and I to pick him to do both our engagement and wedding photos and videos.  We just finished our  engagement photoshoot and are extremely surprised with how fast the editing was and the return of the photos....he promised 7 days and he got it back to us in less than that! I cant wait for our wedding next year and for it to be captured again by Mike and his professional team. Thank you Mike for capturing our love story!

Last minute I decided I wanted engagement pictures after seeing some of Mike's recent shoots.  I Messaged Mike and he responded promptly and we were able to figure out our schedules to make it work.  My fiancé and I had such a fun experience getting our photos taken, didn't feel awkward or weird, and Mike made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.  I received our photos within almost 2 days and was absolutely in love!  Mike did a great job of capturing our "spirit" and I love that it didn't look forced or staged.  I highly recommend Mike and we'll probably use him, if only I booked him for our wedding!
