Today, August 29, 2026 I worked with Mike Shea, a Gainesville photographer on a portrait shoot with a young family with whom I am friends.

When did I know we had the right photographer? At every single step along the way. Mike helped me stage a surprise wedding proposal to my fiancé out by one of the local nature preserves in Gainesville, Florida. I like Mike a lot! He is kind, considerate, and professional in the manner in which they carry their business. I was very satisfied with our photographs, and with their exceptional experience and expertise they brought to the table to make it possible. Mike went through extraordinary measures to help me make my proposal-vision come to life and I cannot thank them enough for the time and energy spent to make my dream come true. I would hire them again in a heartbeat… read full review
