Testimonials

Mariah & Adam
Michael was above and beyond what we ever could have imagined for a wedding photographer. It’s always a little nerve wracking being in front of the camera, but Michael made you feel so comfortable and forget that the camera was even there. He did not miss one moment of our big day and we are thrilled with the pictures that we received. Michael was very communicative and timely throughout the whole process. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with him. We will definitely be using him for the rest of our lives with any special events we may have. Great quality photos and a great guy!

Unforgettable - The MOST important vendor on my list was my photographer. Michael Derjabin was an amazing photographer on our wedding day! He listened to what we wanted and delivered excellence. We were amazed about his enthusiasm, quality, and professionalism that Michael delivered. He was able to work seamlessly with the Splendent videography team and our guests. Michael and his brother Eli, who was our second photographer, have an eye for capturing small details. When we received our photos, I had several people asking me who our photographer was because he was able to capture true essence. Thank you once again for the cherished and unforgettable moments.
Kelsey & Dean
Michael did both our engagement and wedding photos. In both cases he was courteous, professional and most importantly took outstanding pictures. He got a great mix of traditional poses and lively action shots. He has a good eye for capturing photos that feel “alive.” The final photo sets were better than we hoped and completed in a timely manner. I would recommend Mike  to anyone looking for a great photographer that is easy to work with!
