About The Jungle Branch

The Jungle Branch

Owner + Photographer

The Jungle Branch offers an authentic, refreshing approach to wedding photography and is paired best with folks who wish to remain present in the moments throughout one of the most important days in their lives. With an artistically stylized and candid approach, my goal is to not only tell your story in its truest form, but to encourage you to fully live your day, allowing yourself to experience the calamity of joy with your loved ones without photography feeling like a production.

After photographing unities of love for over 10 years, witnessing over 300 celebrations of all kinds of backgrounds, love, cultures, creeds, and traditions - big and small, near and far - I can honestly say it never gets old, and I can't wait to photograph your story! My goal is to document your day with candid, fun, and heartfelt images that let you dive right back in time and feel like you're there in the moment all over again. With a mission to help protect disappearing rainforests around the globe, I use Jungle Branch to help support grass roots rainforest conservation in Indonesia, Peru, and Western North Carolina.

    Working with Mike was an absolute dream. My partner and I are not people who feel comfortable in front of a camera. Mike completely changed that - although we had never met in person before, Mike felt like an old friend. He had the utmost patience in dealing with our wild family members before we arrived and captured every moment completely perfectly. Mike was so intentional about every shot and was incredible about getting all of the nature-inspired, detail-oriented shots that I wanted. Every time I look back at my wedding album, I'm brought to joyful tears just seeing how perfectly captured every raw emotion was. At our reception, guests couldn't stop raving about how personable and easy to work with Mike was. We had a very "free-flowing" party and Mike was able to round-up everyone and get all of our needed family and friend shots - an impossible task! My partner and I just don't have enough good things to say about the entire experience, Mike as a person, and the beautiful pictures that we ended up with. I look back on our photos and know that I will forever have memories of the moody, "Pinterest-board-inspired" wedding of my dreams!

    I've worked along side Mike as his second photographer for two years, he is by far the most creative and innovative wedding photographer I know. He has a great attention to detail and he is quick & efficient to capture a very meaningful moment. At times he even goes out of his way to create something unique & filled with emotion. He give great cues that create natural feeling emotions & poses. He is funny, kind, calm & upholds a standard of professionalism. His editing is consistent and thoughtful. I would absolutely without a doubt trust Mike with my own wedding photography.
