Fantastic photographer and great guy. Due to a crazy day, including an emergency room visit and TWO last minute changes of venue, we ended up moving the location but forgot to tell the photographer! By the time I realized the oversight, he was already out in the original location. I apologized and offered to pay him for his time, but he volunteered to drive the 40 minutes to the new location and finish the job. He was very professional and we could not have been more grateful for his extremely understanding attitude. Would absolutely hire again!

Michael is remarkable 💫 He was friendly & professional which made me first photo shoot a very pleasant experience. I needed photographs for marketing materials and he helped me determine what I needed as well as a fast turnaround on his work! I would highly recommend Strange Studios Photography and look forward to working with him again in the near future.

Failed to capture the moment. Had better photos taken on an IPhone. Very upset with the result.

His pictures are amazing! Michael was polite, responsive, professional and great with the camera. He helped me with engagement pictures and helped me choose the best location for it. He then arrived to location early and chose the best location for the pictures. My fiance loves the pictures and they will capture that moment forever. Thank you Michael!
