About our LA Wedding Photography Team

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 wedding 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!

We Are Los Angeles Wedding Photographers

Wedding Photography has gone through trends over the last couple of years. We have seen everything from dinosaurs chasing bridal parties, awkward poses, unflattering angles, and bad lighting. We totally understand your dilemma right now. How do you ensure that you will get photos that look different from everything you have seen. How do you know that your photographer will make you look good. How will you know that they will capture photos that tell a story, and that you would be happy to put on your wall. Even more important, how can you be sure that your photographer will make you look your best? As a Los Angeles Wedding Photographer, we have the answer for you.

Our goal is to make sure that your wedding photos capture the gravity and the emotion of your wedding day. From stunning portraits, to incredible moments between you and your loved ones. We know the core foundations that not only make great photography, but also an incredible experience for you and your family. Through expert posing, fashion inspired lighting, and incredible storytelling, our goal is to make you look your best.

We created this style of cinematic photography that is focused on you, your family, and the most important day of your life.

Welcome to Michael Anthony Photography

Our images have earned over 100 Awards worldwide since 2014, including “Best of Nations” and a Gold Medal in the World Photographic Olympics representing the United States in 2019. We have earned multiple first place awards for both portraits and photojournalism. We have photographed weddings in 9 different countries, and told over 1,000 love stories.

Our Philosophy

We believe that wedding portraiture ought to stand the test of time. In other words, your photos should not look cheesy in five to ten years. Our photos blend movement, lighting and storytelling to create unique pieces of art for your album and your home. Even in darkened settings, for instance, an ancient cathedral, where there is no natural light, we know how to create just the right amount, playing with shadows to create visually stunning images.

Simply put, our goal is to provide our clients with a flawless photography experience from start to finish and match your creative vision to a tee.

Now we want to tell yours…

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
