Mike Wake Photos

Photographer

What's up? I'm Mike, and I love making kick-ass photos. I'm not a wedding photographer because I "absolutely love making people happy and capturing their beautiful story." I do this because I LOVE the feeling of making awesome photos, and I love serving awesome people.

I provide candid & natural photography for couples who really fucking love each other. You're not looking for perfection - you want real, raw, and unforgettable. My style is all about getting the most kick-ass wedding photos in the most natural way possible. We're perfect for each other if: • You crave pizza 24/7. •You're unfiltered, uncensored, and unapologetically yourself. •You want your photos to look and feel like the best fucking time of your life. Does this sound like the type of experience YOU would love? Reach out and let's do this shit🤘🏻

    Mike is great!

    Mike is an amazing photographer and was so wonderful to work with! He did a great job capturing all of our special moments without making anything feel forced or uncomfortable. He also got us our photos so quickly after our wedding. We would highly recommend him!!

    Book Mike!

    Mike is truly an exceptional wedding photographer. From the very start of the process, he took the time to connect with us and understand our vision for the day. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft made him a joy to work with. On the day itself, Mike felt like part of the celebration—capturing every emotion, detail, and special moment with effortless artistry. His ability to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease is just one of his many talents. Looking back at the photos is like stepping into those cherished moments again, and we’re beyond grateful for the memories he's given us. If you want a photographer who will exceed your expectations while connecting with you every step of the way, Mike is the one!

    I literally checked Mike's availability before securing a venue or date for our wedding because there was absolutely no question about who I wanted photographing our day. And I'm SO glad I did. He's incredibly talented and I've never seen someone work so hard to capture every emotion and important moment throughout the day - even when I had no idea he was there with the camera...there's a photo capturing something special. If you want someone who will document the real, raw beauty of what's happening while you're having the best damn time with your favorite humans...Mike's your guy. And on top of being an awesome photographer, he's an awesome person to be around. You'll love his energy and he's great at helping you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera so the real you comes out.

    Mike was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the moment he arrived, he blended right in. He felt like one of our guests rather than just a photographer. He was friendly, easygoing, and made everyone feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. If I could upload every photo from our sneak peeks, I would. The photos he captured are stunning, every emotion, every laugh, every detail perfectly preserved. He has such an incredible eye for those candid, in-between moments that truly tell the story of the day. We’ve had so many friends and family comment not only on how beautiful the photos are, but also how wonderful Mike was to have around. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough! If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond and make your day even more special, Mike is the one.

Yes I do🤘🏻 Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Absolutely! I take pride in the way I make everything feel and look natural. I'll use prompts to keep you moving and in natural positions that will result in kick-ass photos of you.
Yes, you can! Printing rights are included in your package. However, I have access to high-quality products that only photographers are allowed to have access to, so you can get them directly from me as well.
I will go just about ANYWHERE for your wedding! Furthest I've been so far is Pigeon Forge, Tennessee!
Yes I do! A Second-photographer can be added on.
