Thank you Michael for all that you did to make our wedding day special! We were confident you would capture some beautiful moments, but we did not expect the level of care, patience, and compassion you brought to our day! You captured our Hindu-Western wedding meaningfully and made everyone feel confident/included. I am so grateful for your help behind the scenes and your ability to adapt throughout the day!
You captured our experiences beautifully and we will cherish the photos forever! Your experience working with St. Mary’s Weddings and knowledge of the area made the day comfortable and seamless! We could not have asked for a better experience working with a wedding photographer! -

5 stars is not enough to accurately depict how amazing he is and there are truly no words to describe how incredible he was. My husband and I just had our wedding on July 11, 2026 in Grand Bend and he is insanely good at what he does. Firstly he is just an amazing person to work with and so easily to get along with and talk to. From the start, he was thorough and so easy to communicate with. He was organized, professional, and a genuine person to work with. He made us feel so comfortable and spending the day with him felt so natural- it was honestly like having another friend there with us.
His talent is on another level. He knew exactly where the best photo locations were just by walking around the venue- some of the spots he picked I would have never guessed would have turned out the way they did in the photos. I was slightly stressed about not having a full idea of where I wanted our first look to be and where all the other pictures would be taken, and he completely took control of that and made it so easy on us and I just knew we were in good hands because he truly is the best at what he does. He guided us from one spot to the next, kept everything running smoothly, and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. We thoroughly enjoyed our day because we knew he had us.
And then there are the photos… we were absolutely blown away and still are. My husband and I have looked at the sneak peak photos so many times and continuously say “wow he is amazing- these photos are so good!” - Every single image is stunning and captures more than we could have ever imagined. He has an incredible eye for knowing where the best lighting will be, and got so many good candid moments that mean so much to us. We have been reliving the day through the photos, and we haven’t even received the main portion of them, so I can imagine we will be even more blown away when we get the rest of them! I loved how he made sure he had enough photos of us, he took us out briefly during a spot at dinner where we had some time to get some extra photos and we are so glad he did. It is easy to get caught up in all the chaos of the day and I am so glad he was making sure we had good moments of the two of us.
I knew from the start that we would want sunset photos on the beach and when I told Michael that he was so on board. He made sure we knew what time we would be going to get those pictures and they are literally the most stunning perfect photos. I attached a few below but there were so many good ones that make me so happy. I can’t say enough good things about him.
One of the highlights of our wedding was the same day slideshow he created during our reception. As he is working away taking so many photos and being in on every moment, he managed to have the time to edit photos and make this amazing slide show. Standing with our friends and family and seeing the beautiful collection of photos from earlier was so emotional and the reactions we had from everyone were so amazing. I would highly recommend you get this service from him if you book with him because it was one of our favourite parts of the night.
It is hard to put into words how talented Michael is. He was detailed, he had a vision and executed it perfectly for us so we did not have to worry, he made everything feel so effortless and easy, and you can tell he has a huge passion for what he does.
If you are looking for someone who is not only unbelievable talented, but also kind, organized, fun, genuine and fully invested in making your wedding day unforgettable- you have to get Michael. We are beyond grateful that he was a part of our day and we can’t wait to cover our walls with his insanely perfect pictures. We could not recommend him more highly.
THANK YOU MICHAEL! -

We had such an amazing experience with Michael at our wedding ceremony! We kept it very small and simple but he captured everything so beautifully, it made the day look so much more elevated and perfect. We really appreciated how helpful he was with the posing, not to mention how comfortable he made us feel in front of the camera. We’re both very camera shy, but he made it super fun and relaxed. He was also very accommodating and extremely easy to work with. You can tell how passionate he is about his work. So happy we found Michael for our special day. Would recommend 1000%. -

HIGHLY recommend
Can’t say enough great things about Michael. Quality of photos are amazing and his ability to capture candid moments is absolutely incredible. I honestly didn’t know he was there half the time and during posed shots, he made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Also amazing with children which is huge on a big day where kids are tired and overwhelmed. He captured our day beautifully. -

Words cannot express how amazing Michael is! He photographed our engagement photos and our wedding in St. Jacobs at Cellar 52. He is an extremely gifted photographer. His integration of the natural resources around him and his great guidance on how to pose created timeless photos that truly left us in awe. Not only is he a great photographer but he was a big part in planning the timeline of our day, kept us on track and was always so understanding and kind. He was always quick to respond to emails and was very organized when it came to phone calls to discuss details of the wedding. Thank you, Michael!! -

Truly the best photographer I’ve ever worked with!!
I am beyond thankful that we had Michael and his wife Kailyn be a part of our day! Michael not only captured our day, but captured the emotion of the day. My husband and I are so grateful for his quality of work and his easy direction. Michael was beyond easy to work with, and made each of us feel so comfortable during the photo process. I highly recommend Michael for anyone looking for truly memorable photos -

Everything was 10/10. Response time right from our initial request to receiving our previews was perfect. We had said we wanted quality over quantity when it came to Bride and Groom pictures and he delivered. He got the perfect shots in a short amount of time. He went over and above for everything. Highly recommend using Michael :) -

It was such a privilege having Michael Steingard as our photographer. After seeing Michael capture my sister's and friend's wedding I knew I wanted Michael to capture our special day. Michael exceeded our expectations. He can take something so simple and make it elegant. He is such a fun photographer! He provides you with good advice, easy to follow instructions and the flow of our wedding day was so smooth. I would highly recommend Michael to any future family or friends getting married -

A fabulous photographer and great person
We are so grateful that we chose Michael to play such an important role in our wedding day. His talent, creativity and vision are obvious from the beautiful galleries in his collection of work. What further sets him apart is his genuine nature, calming presence, and joyful spirit. He put us right at ease from the first time we met him as if he was a friend we had known for years, even when we were full of nerves. Our family and friends also adored him. It was a delight to work with someone who loves his job SO much - to hear the excitement in his voice when he discovered a unique angle or if the snow was falling just right made it such a fun time. He also worked to incorporate our own style preferences into the photographs and tried out some new locations with us for our engagement shoot that were outside his usual repertoire, putting in extra time to make it work and get us some beautiful captures of our day-to-day life together. Our final wedding gallery is nothing short of spectacular. He has our highest recommendation and we sincerely hope our paths cross again in the future. -
