WEDDING & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
in NORTHERN CALIFORNIA & beyond
Your wedding day is once-in-a-lifetime, and you want every moment captured beautifully—the joy, the love, the little in-between glances. But with so much to plan, you might worry: Will my photos feel authentic? Will we look natural? Will every special moment be captured? That’s where I come in. As a fine art wedding photographer based in the Sacramento Valley, I blend timeless, true-to-color imagery with a relaxed, guided approach so you can feel confident, present, and completely yourself. Your love story deserves to be told in a way that’s both effortless and unforgettable—and I’m here to make sure of it.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Mike was our favorite wedding vendor!! He shot our engagement session and wedding photos, and we could not be happier. The experience was FANTASTIC, and the pictures came out BEAUTIFUL!
Mike is very patient, which is helpful if you’re a little nervous or don’t pose for pictures very often, and he takes the time to line up great shots. He is professional, friendly, and positive. You spend a good chunk of time with your photographer on your big day, so it’s important to choose one that is a joy to be around, like Mike. Our friends and family said great things about him, too.
In terms of his business, he is very organized and consistent. He is timely with communication and pays close attention to his clients’ wishes. Before I even hired him, I mentioned I was worried about over-exposure with my pale skin, and when we took photos months later he remembered my concern and was careful to make sure I was comfortable with the lighting throughout. This is someone who pursues his craft with his client’s satisfaction as his top priority.
If you are considering hiring Mike, do it!! My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend him!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Mike is really talented, and such a gem. I actually noticed other photographers and their clients stop what they were doing to watch Mike during our session! The whole experience was WONDERFUL and we will definitely BOOK with him again!
Mike took family photos of us and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how they turned out! Other than “I want nice family photos” he had no other direction from me and worked his magic. He found us an amazing spot in a location I had never heard of. One of my daughters is pretty shy but he was able to make her feel comfortable and got amazing shots. The kids never complained once and are proud to show off their photos.

He works magic and takes GREAT PHOTOS! The photos turn out so beautiful!
Mike has photographed our family photos for the last few years. Managing a photo session with two children and an excited dog plus the outdoor distractions could be very challenging, but he handles it all with ease! Mike has great communication skills and so easy to work with. I would highly recommend Mike Bean!
