Love all of our photos! Exceptional photographer
Michal was amazing to work with and our families still talk about how great he was. Our original wedding plans were cancelled due to COVID and we went forward with a smaller ceremony on June 20. Michal was easygoing, flexible, and understanding throughout and delivered an incredible photo set that we will treasure forever. He was able to rein in and organize our boisterous families for group shots and captured all the natural, sincere, and intimate moments. There was a heat warning that day (it was 40*C!) and he ran at 110% the entire time. My partner and I are not the most confident in front of a camera but Michal made it fun and easy with his positive energy, thoughtful creativity, and professionalism. He gave us tips beforehand and guided us throughout the day. We would recommend him in a heartbeat and will use him again. Thanks Michal.-

The BEST photo and video team!!
What really stood out was how incredibly creative Michal J, photo and video team was.
They were also amazing at handling the stressful moments that inevitably happen at weddings. When the timeline got tight, someone was running late, or things weren’t going exactly as planned, they somehow stayed completely calm and knew exactly what to do. They kept everyone relaxed and made stressful situations feel like no big deal.
The whole team was super personable, kind, and genuinely fun to have around. They didn’t feel like vendors who showed up, did their job, and left. It honestly felt like they were part of the wedding and part of the guest group. They were laughing with everyone, making people feel comfortable, and capturing amazing candid moments at the same time.
The creativity, energy, direction, and professionalism were all incredible. They made the whole photo and video experience feel fun instead of stressful, and we absolutely love what they created for us!
Highly recommend Michal J photography & films if you want a team that can handle the chaos, keep everyone calm, and still create amazing photos and films!! -

Exquisite photography and film work!
Choosing a wedding photo and video team can feel daunting, but Michal and his team made it effortless. From day one, Michal took the time to understand our vision and put us completely at ease. On the wedding day, the team was exceptional, professional, organized, and fun, blending in seamlessly while capturing every moment naturally. A huge shoutout to Sammi, who brought incredible energy and an artistic eye. The final photos and videos were beyond anything we imagined: emotional, beautifully edited, and timeless. Michal and Sammi are wonderful people we’re grateful to now call friends. If you want a team that goes above and beyond, look no further!-

The best candid wedding film ever!
We hired Michal J for our wedding photos and videos and honestly, we’re so happy we did! We originally weren’t going to book video because of the budget, but our parents pushed us to do it, and it ended up being the best decision ever.
We got the highlight documentary film and the full ceremony video. The highlight film felt so natural and candid, with barely any posing, which is exactly what we wanted. We’ve already watched it at least 10 times and still love it!
We also got our videos back within 3 months, which was amazing, especially when other studios were telling us 6-9 months. The photos came out amazing too and really captured all the little moments from the day.
Couldn’t be happier with everything! Highly recommend Michal J! -

Exceptional work !!!
We truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Michal J. Photography. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, every step of the process was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.
We had a Chinese wedding with a large number of guests and so many family groups and important moments we wanted captured. The Michal J. Photography team managed to capture every group we wanted and there were A LOT! while keeping everything organized and stress-free.
The photos and videos are absolutely beautiful. They didn’t just capture how everything looked, but how it felt. The big moments, small details, family memories, and candid moments were all captured with so much care.
I was honestly very stressed about going over budget with wedding photography, but choosing Michal J. Photography ended up being one of the best decisions we made. The quality, professionalism, and care they put into everything made it completely worth it, and we know we’ll treasure these memories for years to come.
They made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and knew exactly when to provide direction and when to let the natural moments happen. We’re so grateful to have had them document such an important part of our story. We cannot recommend Michal and his team enough! -

An amazing photo and video experience
We had an amazing experience working with Michal J photography and films (Michal, Sam and their videography team) for our wedding! From our first conversation, they were super friendly, organized, and easy to communicate with, which made the whole process feel really effortless.
On the wedding day, they were such a pleasure to have around. They were professional and relaxed, but also knew exactly when to step in to capture the important moments without making anything feel staged or awkward. During the ceremony we barely noticed the cameras were there.
When we received our online gallery, prints and wedding movie, we were absolutely blown away. The editing was beautiful, and they captured not only the big moments but also all the little reactions, emotions, and candid moments we would have otherwise missed. Watching the film honestly felt like being back on our wedding day all over again.
We are so grateful to Michal and Sam (and their team) for creating something we will be able to enjoy and relive for years to come. We would highly recommend Michal J. Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photography videography team in Ontario that genuinely cares about their couples and the little details that make each wedding unique!

Truly amazed!
We absolutely loved working with Michael, his wife and their amazing team! From the moment they arrived, they brought such creativity, warmth, and fun energy to our wedding day. They kept us laughing and smiling the entire time, which made everything feel so natural and effortless — and it truly shows in the photos.
They completely understood how important it was for us to include our pets, and they went above and beyond to make sure they were part of our memories in the sweetest way. Every detail felt personal and intentional, and the photos perfectly capture the joy, love, and little moments we’ll cherish forever.
The Polaroid pictures and the beautiful album they created for us were such a thoughtful touch — it made the experience feel even more special and gave us something instant to look back on right after the wedding.
And honestly, for how much talent, time, and creativity you get, they are so reasonably priced. You can tell they truly love what they do and care about their couples. We can’t recommend them and their team enough!-

Our Wedding Day
We hired Michal's team to film our wedding. We booked him and 2 of his assistants as we had a wedding with over 150 guests. From the minute we contacted them, they were extremely responsive, professional, kind, and helpful over email and phone. Michal set up a call to explain their style, and to understand our vision more in detail. It was pleasant to see they cared about our opinions, ideas, and how much time they spent explaining small details even before we booked them. Planning a wedding was something so new to us and they went out of their way to answer all of our questions and help us with the organization. I have talked to around 20 videographers in the area and Michal was extremely attentive and intuitive before we hired him!
His work speaks for itself; it is breathtaking. We just received the highlight video and I can’t stop watching it!!! Now we want another video, a longer documentary about our wedding.
On the wedding day, they were completely unobtrusive while capturing every single detail of the happiest day of our lives. Even, our guests were very comfortable with the team. We requested them to stay an additional 2 hours and it was the best decision ever, that’s when everyone was enjoying themselves!
Our highlight film left us speechless. It not only documented our day beautifully but perfectly conveyed the emotions and how special it felt to us and our families. It's been 1 year since our wedding and we're still blown away by all the emotions captured on that day. We are so thankful to Michal and his awesome team and we cannot recommend them enough!!! -
