Michael Murphy IV Photography

People often bring me around to document the good times. Whether it be a wedding, a family gathering, a milestone, or any of the other exciting landmarks we experience in life. I couldn’t be more grateful for this. My goal in my work is to capture your story in a true and honest way. This means becoming part of your event and documenting the story from the inside out. I believe the best images come from real, authentic, unaltered moments. These moments aren’t staged or set up… they are captured.

When I started photographing weddings 13 years ago I was just trying to do what everyone else was doing at the time… making pretty pictures on peoples’ wedding days. Over the years, I started to realize that the best images came from the moments-in-between. The joy, the love, the tears, the embrace. My approach is to be part of your day, to watch it unfold, to witness and document. Yes, we do portraits, but in a relaxed and fun manner… and then we let you get back to enjoying your people on one of the best days of your life.
