edding Photography is a significant part of my professional portfolio,
as it allows me to explore my passion for
capturing those special moments through artistic creativity and my love for people. When working with a couple, my priority is to listen and to understand their needs and expectations.
This is their special day and the moments
they will remember forever.
Being able to capture
these memories is an honor and a privilege.
I look forward to capturing your special day.
"If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given.
It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument."

“We are so incredibly happy that we had Mike as our engagement and wedding photographer! Mike is very professional, a great communicator, extremely personable, and a wonderful photographer! He took the time to get to know us as a couple and always made us feel comfortable and relaxed.
He also has a great eye for detail and knows how to successfully direct group shots so that everyone looks their best. We are forever grateful for Mike and will absolutely hire him again in the future. The highest of recommendations for Mike Tabolsky Photography!”

"Mike did an OUTSTANDING job as a photographer for our wedding. Guests from our wedding commented on him being the best photographer they had seen because he tried so hard to get pictures of all the people at our wedding individually (this was something we asked for and was really important to us). We also wanted pictures that were very clear. When we were looking for a photographer, we noticed that whatever camera he was using (or setting, or however it works) took really clear photos. And this was what we got with our wedding photos. Really good, clear photos that capture the moment well and excellent editing!
I would highly recommend Mike to anyone. He also has a very engaging personality that is easy and fun to be around. So, even though we both were a little nervous about this part...he made it so easy for us and the photos looked natural."

"Mike is a wonderful photographer! Referred by family, I took a shot to see if he could photograph our wedding! His dedication to his craft is something that truly shows and it’s rare I see any other photos come close to his quality! He cares about his clients and captures the moments beyond words, silently moving around the event and putting his camera to those moments that make it all come together. Not only putting his signature touch on the photos but doing all he can to capture ANY & ALL PHOTOS even when that family list seems longer than life itself. He’s great at also pushing himself to capture shots that may be more modern & kitchy but if the client wants it he will do all he can to make it happen!! And he not only did my first wedding…but also my SECOND! 😂😂🫣🤭 a true professional and friend!"
- Megan + Matt
“Mike was wonderful to work with and we are thrilled with our wedding photos! We ended up making several last-minute venue changes due to COVID, and Mike graciously accommodated. He made everyone feel at-ease (including our one year old nephew!), resulting in great photos with genuine expressions. His prices were also better than any others we found. So happy Mike was available to capture our wedding day. We enthusiastically recommend him to others!”

“Mike was an amazing photographer for Nate and I's engagement photo shoot and wedding day. The photos turned out great! Mike was so easy going we just had fun the entire time-which really showed through in the photos.
Not only is his work amazing, but he is also personable, professional, and easy to get along with. We are so grateful we had Mike as our photographer. I'm now trying to think of future special occasions to invite Mike to be our photographer again.”
- Gabrielle + Nat
“I wish there was an option to give Mike more than five stars. Mike was absolutely amazing in all aspects. From the moment my husband and I reached out to him to shoot our wedding he was prompt, professional, and an absolute delight. Mike met with us for our initial consultation and spent a good amount of time listening to our thoughts and wants in regards to our wedding photography.
He was willing and eager to make all our dream photos come to life and he did just that. Mike is incredibly personable and was amazing to have at our wedding. He visited with our family, showed our guests the amazing photos he took at the waterfalls, and seemed to capture every moment between our loved ones while not standing out or being in the way of any of our events. We will never use another photographer for any event in our lives.”

“We used Mike for our courthouse wedding and the follow up photo shoot around downtown Seattle/ Pike Place Market. Mike was amazing!! It was about 50000 degrees that day and Mike was upbeat, creative, and enthusiastic. He did a good job of telling us awkward humans where to put our arms (why do photo shoots make you forget how to function as a human?).
He went above and beyond, taking a few extra shots than expected and even taking the time to sit and have a cold beer with us afterwards. The images he took truly capture the adventurous spirit we went into the day with. I would also say that his pricing was VERY reasonable for Seattle photographers and Mike is one of the nicest guys around. I would highly recommend you use him for a photo shoot of any kind.
Thanks again Mike!”

“Mike was our photographer for our September 2nd wedding and we couldn't have been happier with him, his second shooter (Saskia), or his photos. He is friendly, funny, and we instantly clicked with him during our first meeting. He worked within our budget and we still can't believe the amount and quality of photos we received for our budget. He made us and our guests feel comfortable and was able to get stunning photos without us feeling staged.
He captured moments that I never would have known even happened and made a point to make sure that we had great photos of everyone. He was patient and worked well with my family that hate getting their photos taken and was even able to get smiles out of folks that I've never seen smile in a photo! He was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and I feel so lucky that we found him to be a part of our day. I can't recommend him enough and can't wait to have another reason to work with Mike in the future. He was amazing and made our day even more perfect.”

“My wife and I recently married each other and used Mike's services to capture our wedding and our engagement shoot. From the time that we had our first meeting with Mike up until the time that he delivered our wedding photos, Mike has been nothing short of a true professional.
During our engagement shoot Mike had tons of great ideas for pictures and was patient with us as we moved from location to location. Mike was also willing to field ideas from my wife and I about potential pictures without fuss. On the day of our wedding Mike showed up on time coffee in hand ready to rock!
We had a strict deadline for time and Mike did everything he could to make sure that stuck within our timeline. After receiving out wedding photos back from Mike, I can honestly say I will hire him again without question. After working with Mike over the last year I know that I not only have a great resource for amazing photos but a friend as well. 15/10 would hire again. If you don't hire Mike then Lord help you!”"

"Mike photographed the wedding and reception for my wife and I. We were very happy with his services. He was very knowledgeable about where to take the best photos, he capably helped with squeezing in all the family photos, and he even stayed later than planned to get a few more candid photos for us that ended up being wonderful.
We really appreciated his thoughtfulness, knowledge, and expertise. He also made it very easy for us to work with him and we really appreciated that he was responsive and helpful. We would definitely use him again!"

“When I was looking for a wedding photographer I literally typed "photographer + Seattle + funny + awesome" into google and Mike popped up....shout out to google because the recommendation I got (Mike Tabolsky) was phenomenal!!!!Mike is amazing....he's super personable, has a great sense of humor, gets along with everyone (which is nice to have at a wedding full of different types of people), and takes stunning photographs!
I don't consider myself a very photogenic person, but when I look at my wedding photos, I feel like I look so beautiful!!! He made me shine and I can't thank him enough for that. Mike also took the time to meet with my husband and I before the wedding so he could get to know us...what we like, what we don't like, what makes us comfortable, and how to make us laugh :D We still get comments from our guests about how awesome he was (and our wedding was in September, 2016).
If you're looking for a photographer...wedding or otherwise....reach out to Mike, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Check out this perfectly timed photo Mike took of my husband and his groomsmen....and no, the ball is not photoshopped in there....insane, I know.”

“My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Mike! We met him at a wedding show and really liked him right away. Mike is easy going, fun, and a phenomenal photographer! We had planned to interview a few people before we decided who we wanted to work with but after sitting down with Mike and talking what we were looking for, we both knew Mike was the one.
He captured our engagement photos along with our wedding and they both turned out perfect! We brought our two dogs with us and did our engagement photos at Rattlesnake Lake. He knew how to get the dogs involved and keep their attention and we had a lot of fun! Fast forward to our wedding day.Mike had recommended we think about a second shooter and I'm really glad we decided to go forward with two. They worked so well as a team and captured our day flawlessly!!!
When we looked through the pictures it took us right back to the day and we laughed and cried at the way the emotions, reactions, and fun were presented! We cannot recommend Mike enough!! You will be so happy with everything! We promise!!!”

"10/10, highly recommend Mike Tabolsky. We hired Mike for our wedding who was recommended to us by our neighbor. I have never met a more hardworking individual; Mike was running around to capture every moment despite it being 90 degrees out. Pictures were delivered within a month after our wedding.
Every imagine is beautiful, he captured our wedding PERFECTLY through images. Communication was on point throughout the day and prior to the wedding we had a couple videoconferences to close the loop on what images were important to use and timeline. I am so grateful for Mike being a part of my wedding vendor team. Mike is THE photographer you need; we will work with Mike again."
