About Michael Anthony Photography

Michael Anthony Photography

Creative Director / Lead Photographer

I'm Michael Anthony, a wedding photographer based in Dallas–Fort Worth, with a second studio in Los Angeles. I shoot across DFW — Dallas, Fort Worth, McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Plano — and travel for couples marrying farther afield. Nine countries and 1,000+ weddings so far. My approach is editorial and unobtrusive. I document the day rather than direct it, because I want your images to make you feel the moment again, not simply see it. I take a limited number of weddings each year so each one gets real attention. Tell me your date and venue and I'll confirm availability right away.

Three things. Credentials that are independently judged, not self-declared: named the #1 wedding photographer in the United States twice, PPA Master of Photography, 200+ international print awards, and Photographic World Cup gold for Team USA. I teach this craft to photographers around the world. Standing in front of a room of professionals keeps me sharp in a way client work alone doesn't. And a real reveal. My McKinney studio has a projection room built so you see your images full-screen, together, the first time — not as a link in your inbox.

    BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!

    Michael Anthony Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our Dallas wedding. From the first conversation, the team was organized, responsive, and genuinely interested in understanding what mattered most to us. Neither of us felt especially comfortable in front of a camera, but their direction made everything feel natural. They helped us with posing when we needed it, kept our family photographs organized, and captured the candid moments without interrupting the day. Even when our timeline changed, the team stayed calm and made sure we never felt rushed. When we received our gallery, we were blown away. The photographs feel cinematic, emotional, and timeless. They captured the excitement of the celebration, the quiet moments between us, and so many reactions from our family and friends that we had completely missed. We highly recommend Michael Anthony Photography to anyone looking for a Dallas wedding photographer. Their experience, creativity, and professionalism gave us photographs that truly bring us back to our wedding day.

    AMAZING!

    We got married in Dallas at The Joule and couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Michael Anthony Photography. From our first conversation, Michael was responsive and easy to talk to, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. He helped us nail our wedding timeline so the day flowed perfectly, and his cinematic style really brought our vision to life. The photos are absolutely stunning, bold and full of emotion in a way that feels like watching a movie. We knew Michael wasn't the cheapest option out there, but the quality we received made every penny worth it. We're so grateful to have found him and would recommend him to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about capturing their story.

    Great to work with!

    As the head of a wedding floristry business, I've collaborated with numerous photographers, yet my experience with Michael Anthony Photography is worth a special mention. Michael, the driving force behind the lens, brings an unparalleled blend of artistry and finesse to his photography. My experience with Michael was nothing short of extraordinary. His ability to capture the subtle interplay of light and color in our floral arrangements was mesmerizing. He didn't just photograph flowers; he told their story, weaving them into the narrative of the wedding day with a sensitivity and grace that is rare to find. Jen, Michael's wife, brought an equally impressive level of skill and dedication to the table. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that none of the intricate elements in our floral designs went unnoticed. She worked with a gentle, unobtrusive approach, which allowed her to capture stunning, candid images of the arrangements in their natural wedding setting. She captured a ton of detail images for me that I can use in my marketing. The synergy between Michael and Jen created an environment where creativity flourished. It was clear they understood and respected the importance of every detail in a wedding, especially the floral elements. Their work not only highlighted our designs but also enhanced them, providing a fresh and beautiful perspective. Awarding Michael Anthony Photography a 5-star review is an easy decision. Their professional yet personable approach, combined with their exceptional photographic talent, sets them apart in the wedding industry. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple in search of a photography team that will capture their wedding day with elegance, artistry, and an attentive eye for every beautiful detail.

    Exceptional Service and Stunning Photography

    From the moment we partnered with Michael Anthony Photography for our client's special day, the experience was nothing short of remarkable. Their team, led by the incredibly talented Michael, delivered an extraordinary level of professionalism and artistry. Jennifer, a true gem in their team, ensured that every little detail was captured beautifully. Her keen eye for detail and her ability to work seamlessly with us as wedding planners made a significant difference. The detail shots she provided were not just photographs, but pieces of art that told the story of the day in a magical way. Furthermore, the efficiency and organization skills of Courtney, their studio manager, were impeccable. She was always on top of everything, ensuring smooth communication and coordination. This level of dedication and attentiveness is rare and was greatly appreciated. The final images were breathtaking, and our clients were overjoyed with the memories captured. Michael Anthony Photography didn’t just take photos; they created a visual narrative of the day that will be cherished for a lifetime. It’s a pleasure to give Michael Anthony Photography a well-deserved 5 stars. Their blend of talent, professionalism, and passion for their craft sets them apart. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a photography team that goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results.

    Priceless Photography, Would give 10 Stars!

    What a great experience!!! They were so professional and the photos came out great. I hired Michael Anthony Photography for my engagement pictures and my wedding. They showed up early and were so amazing. They went above and beyond to make our day very special and memorable. I couldn’t be happier with how the day went. My picture came back very fast and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend them! Thanks again Michael Anthony Photography!!


We tend to book up anywhere between 9-12 months in advance, but sometimes up to 18....I recommend reaching out as soon as you have your date and venue secure.
Yep! I will always have an assistant with me that can also double as a second photographer
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer more advanced retouching options as well.
Yes! We have a highly trained and specialized videography team.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos at about 2-3 weeks after your wedding. We do a reveal appointment with you over Zoom, show you your images, go over advanced retouching options, and go over some additional products for you.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 13 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I have a large team of associate photographers that we can make sure are available for your day...but again, it's never happened.
