What These Honors Mean for You
Awards aren’t the point, but they’re proof of the standard you can expect on your own day.
Top of the Nation
Being named the #1 wedding photographer in the United States, twice, is a recognition of consistency: not one viral image, but a decade of delivering at the highest level, wedding after wedding.
Master of Photography
The PPA's Master of Photography is an earned degree, awarded only after years of merits in blind, juried competition. It's among the most respected distinctions a working photographer can hold.
On the World Stage
At the Photographic World Cup, the best photographers from every nation compete as national teams. Our work helped Team USA earn Best of Nations in 2020 and Gold medals in 2020 and 2022.
200+ Print Awards
Print competition is judged on craft alone, lighting, story, technical excellence, by master jurors. Surpassing 200 international print awards reflects a relentless standard held over many years.
Award-Caliber Frames
Beyond the awards, Michael and Jennifer have taught photographers around the world the craft of posing, lighting, and business, for over a decade.
Educators · Speakers · MentorsTeaching the Industry
The same techniques that built an award-winning studio are now taught on stages and in workshops to photographers across the globe. Michael and Jennifer have spent more than a decade as educators and speakers, mentoring artists in lighting, posing, and the business of photography. When you hire MAP, you’re hiring the people other photographers learn from.
