Mr. Chansley did my University of Arizona graduation photos today and they came out amazing! He was very knowledgeable about places near the Old Main to take photos at. We received the photos soon after our session and I would definitely recommend Mr. Chansley for any of your photography needs.

Michael took some amazing photos for my graduation announcements! I absolutely love how all of them turned out! And I got the photos back the same day! Amazing!

Mr. Chansley does the photography at my school. We are a school for kids with learning differences. He is super patient and kind with our students. He waits and takes his time to get beautiful shots of our kids. I would highly recommend, and have, Mr. Chansley to others for any photography needs they have.

My family has used Michael as our photographer for many occasions and family portraits over the years. He is very quick to respond to all my emails, always very professional and makes us look amazing! Very affordable as well and includes the digital copies of the photos. Highly recommended!

We chose Michael off the internet and got lucky! Upon contacting him we we're impressed with how professional and responsive he was. We are tickled too with the beautiful pictures he captured! We'd asked him to meet us at kind of an unusual location, and once there he immediately recognized the ideal spots and angles. I think there is a warm and glow to his pictures too!

Michael took senior pictures for our son; he (our son) selected Catalina State Park as the location. Michael was very professional and accommodating, and the photos are terrific! He was very responsive to our needs, and he responded to my initial online inquiry in less than 30 minutes. Michael charged roughly half what other photographers wanted, with no reduction in quality. The value was terrific! If you are in need of a professional photographer, I definitely recommend him!

Michael was very accommodating to my very slim availability. Even though my session had to be booked for the morning as opposed to evening, he knew how to work the lighting and angles to capture the UA campus just how I imagined for my graduation photos. He even went above and beyond and my edited photos delivered to me within hours of the photo session! His pricing is a great value.

If you're looking for a professional photographer, look no further. Michael will not disappoint. We used his expertise for my daughter's graduation photoshoot, and he was excellent and very professional. I highly recommend Michael. We plan on using him again in the near future.

I was in need of a professional headshot, so I reached out to Michael. His turn around time was extremely fast for both scheduling our session and for receiving the digital copy once our session was complete (I kid you not, I received the fully edited copy within 30 mins of our session). He is very professional, flexible, and pricing is fair. He even offers a military discount which I really appreciate. Thanks, Michael!

We used Michael to be our wedding photographer. He is an amazing photographer. He captured our wedding perfectly. He was very helpful during the planning process and always responds the same day. He made everything very easy and that I had to do minimal planning with our photos. He also was great with our family and friends. We would definitely use Michael again for future events/or portraits

Michael was professional and great. He drove all the way from Tucson to Sedona to do a pre wedding shoot for us and didn't charge a lot more to do that. Thank God we did the pre shoot because it rained at our wedding and it took a lot less time away from our guest that the main pictures were already done. He got the pictures back quickly and we were able to have a couple of them at the wedding. I would use Michael again and recommend him to people.

We loved working with Michael for our wedding in April 2017. He made everything easy, kept a calm demeanor, and was helpful during the wedding day. Most importantly, he took gorgeous photos. Michael has reasonable pricing without any products or services that we didn't want. He finished the photo editing within 48 hours of the wedding, and we had the DVD within a week. We were so proud to show off the beautiful pictures he took, so soon after the event. We would recommend Michael to anyone and everyone.

Michael was awesome. Very professional and easy to work with. He is a fordable and takes incredible pictures. He stayed an extra half hour to accommodate a change in our timeline and ensured that he covered every aspect of our wonderful day. I would recommend him to anyone.

Michael took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. He did an excellent job! We love the fact that he takes a lot of candid photos because we are quite a goofy couple and have a crazy family, so we knew there would be some awesome moments at our wedding. Michael captured all of these silly moments and also the really special ones like our first dance and my dance with my dad.

We could not have chosen a better photographer for our big day (and also for our engagement photos, which turned out AMAZING). I will always recommend Michael to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion. My husband and I also plan on using him again in the future when our family grows a little bit! If that doesn't say something about how great Michael is and how incredible his work is, then I'm not sure what does! Bottom line: you will not regret hiring him.

My husband and I had a teensy eensy wedding at DeGrazia Gallery chapel and didn't want to spend a million bucks for an hour of pictures. Michael came to the rescue and did an absolutely lovely job for us. My major concern was the lighting in the chapel because there was a skylight with sunlight pouring through, and the lighting out in the bright, cloudless Tucson sun. He did a fabulous job with the lighting challenges and we have received so many complements on our photos. Very happy.

Wow what an incredibly talented photographer. I really feel she put her heart into every photo. I am very pleased with my photos and the editing. Was recommended by a friend when I was visiting from out of town and thankful that I was able to have chosen this business

Michael was our engagement AND wedding photographer. He did an excellent job taking photos of us and our crazy family! Both my husband and myself are photographers (not really professionally for the most part, mostly just for fun) so we are super picky about things like this. We loved Michael's photo journalistic approach and also the fact that he does a lot of candid photos and less of the posey "now tilt your head this way" stuff that many photographers do!

We are a very candid couple and there is never a dull moment with our friends and family. Michael caught some hilarious moments from our wedding and now we will cherish these photos forever. I can't wait to show our kids photos of their grandfather dancing on the floor or of their dad smashing cake into my ear;) We do plan to use Michael again in the future for things like family portraits. If you are looking for a photographer for anything, do seriously consider Michael! You won't be disappointed!

Michael recently took photos for my wedding and he did a wonderful job. He moved around and got a lot of photos of various different settings as we all got ready, he directed the family photos with ease and he captured amazing candid moments throughout the night. My husband and I live in Alaska so we had very little discussion about any planned poses, locations, etc. and he worked with us as if he'd been to the venue hundreds of times and new all the places to take us and take pictures.

Within one day, Michael completed a website with all our edited photos where our guests could order prints or digital copies. He also provided us with a disc of all the photos which arrived before we got home from the honeymoon. I would highly recommend Michael Chansley for your photography needs and I will hire him again if I'm in need of a photographer in Arizona again.

We chose Michael Chansley for our engagement and wedding photos and are extremely happy! For the engagement shoot, there was bad weather and Michael was more than happy to reschedule! Our wedding and reception were on different days and he was there for both events, preserving our happiest moments! My husband and I have been married for over 4 years now and I still look back on the photos and remember the best day(s) of my life, thanks to Michael!

From the planning process to artistic execution, Michael planned our photo shoot to perfection. His enthusiasm for his art was more than we had expected. The outcome of the photo shoot helped our business with all of its branding goals - from the web site to our brochures. As a smaller company, we needed some guidance on how to organize the shoot. Michael helped us with nearly every question we had about how to search for the right elements for our project. I would recommend Michael to anyone seeking professional photography and invaluable creative input.

I am a photographer, so naturally getting photos of my big day was my top priority. The big name photographers I originally contacted were over 3000 to start and would not give me the printing rights for the photos. To purchase one print would have been 30 dollars. I found Michael through a wedding website and was blown away. His work is just as or even more amazing than those photographers charging twice as much for their work. I could not be any happier with our photos and with his service. Hire Michael!!! He is the best!

We were VERY happy with Michael's work. He made us feel very comfortable and loved his attention to detail and ability to capture every moment. He easily went with the flow with candid shots as well as helped guide us with the professional ones. His HIGH quality photos are worth every penny. Thank you Michael for helping us capture the most memorable day our lives. I highly recommend booking him for any event, professional or personal. If you want the best, you want Michael Chansley!
