About our LA Photography Studio

Being a creative wedding photographer in Los Angeles means that you always have to push yourself to the limits. Utilizing techniques such as Reflections, combined with beautiful light can allow for some mundane photos to go from ordinary to extraordinary.
 This image was no exception. Utilizing a reflection of the bride inside of a glass covered artwork, allowed for us to tell the story of her getting ready as the people in the background of the framed picture we're also getting ready for a wedding.
Storytelling is part of the creative process and allows for an artist to capture unique imagery from start to finish. 
The texture on the bride's dress combined it with her veil and heard contemplative expression made this image unique enough to be added to Team USA in the world photographic Olympics in 2017.
We photographed this wedding just outside of Los Angeles at the La Quinta Inn & Resort. However, these techniques can be applied at any Los Angeles wedding venue provided that there is glass covered artwork, which is usually present at most hotels or Halls.
For the modern and trend-minded bride, Michael Anthony Photography offers an amazing photography experience to capture memories that will last a lifetime!
 
Our award-winning staff has been capturing beautiful weddings around the world since 2011. We specialize in creating unique cinematic photos featured in top publications such as Junebug Weddings, WeddingWire, California Wedding Day, The Huffington Post,  Style Me Pretty, and Bridal Guide.
 
Make your dream day memorably special by booking us for exceptional shots of you celebrating one of life’s greatest moments!

Our 3 Core Styles of Photography

Michael Anthony Photography is not your run-of-the-mill stuffy wedding photography service. We focus on cinematic portraiture, meaning that we incorporate movement and fashion-inspired posing and lighting into our work for a breathtaking experience and images like you’ve never seen before. Our creations are not mere photographs, but world-class art, blending traditional photography with creative photojournalism and modern fashion influences to create one-of-a-kind images that you and your loved ones will treasure.

Our team of 20 talented photographer-storytellers at Michael Anthony Photography exists to make luxury photography available to everyone. We created a style of photography that puts your story at center stage, and allows us to capture your love reflected in your emotion, the environment, and the people you love the most who are here for you on the most important day of your lives.

Every single artist on the team at Michael Anthony Photography is trained to be proficient in three different styles of photography. We guarantee our clients variety in styles and locations and shoot each wedding in all three styles. These are the three styles that we specialize in.

Cinematic

This is the signature MAPhoto style, which blends bursts of color with fashion inspired lighting to unify you and your environment. Though this is the most difficult style to shoot, our team is trained to create at least one image in this style for each part of your wedding day, and the results are perfect as framed wall art for your home.

Light & Bright

As Los Angeles wedding photographers, we often shoot couples in well lighted as well as not-well lighted areas. Natural light is a hot topic among folks in the photography industry, and we are able to create this clean, airy, and light look for you even when the light is low. This timeless, classic form of photography will never go out of style.

Creative Candid

If you love seeing the emotion from your wedding day, you will resonate deeply with our second style, which we create by capturing emotional moments as they unfold before our eyes. Photojournalism is the key component to a successful story. Images that are not prompted can give us the best quality foundation for a beautiful album
