About Author Made Photo & Video
Author Made Photo and Video understands that small weddings are uniquely special: it’s all about an intimate celebration of your love in a way that’s meaningful and true-to-you.
Unfortunately, most couples planning an intimate wedding are treated as “budget shoppers” and are offered scaled-back versions of a regular photography package.
At Author Made Photo & Video, we know that micro weddings have their own unique magic—and challenges. We believe that your small wedding is not only equally worthy of respect but that your photography and videography should be treated uniquely.
Welcome! We’re Michael and Amy. 7 years ago, we were planning our own small wedding.
Not only were we choosing to spend our money wisely, but we also wanted our wedding to be a unique expression of our combined tastes. And finding a wedding photographer who would only show up for a few hours, within our budget, without sacrificing quality was…a challenge.
After Michael launched Author Made in 2021, we soon developed a heart for serving weddings just like ours several years back: intimate, highly personal celebrations centered on your love for one another.
Now, we’re dedicated to serving the unique needs and priorities of micro weddings, stepping in as not just your photographer and videographer but as a consultant and partner so you can fully relax and show up as the best version of yourself on your special day.

We are beyond grateful that we found Michael of Author Made!
When researching photographers, two things really stood out to us about Author Made. The documentary style of Michael\’s photography is exactly what we wanted and we were thrilled to find a photographer who specializes in micro- and intimate weddings.
We opted for the 4 hour photography with added videography package. Michael was our photographer and Rob was our videographer the day of the wedding. We wanted most of our photos to be more on the candid side, but for posed photos and video shots, Michael and Rob made us feel so comfortable and gave us plenty of direction when needed.
We received our photos and video a couple of days ago, and everything represented the feelings of that day so perfectly. Every moment that was so special to us was captured in the most beautiful way and we were so excited to get to relive those moments through Micheal and Rob\’s work.
From the beginning of the process to the end, we knew we were in more than capable hands. Thank you so much, Michael and Rob, for your part in capturing our story and our memories on our wedding day.

Michael and his videographer Rob were fantastic! Michael did a great job communicating with me every step of the way, was timely and prepared, and very amicable and friendly with everyone at our wedding. We were also very impressed with the skills Michael has in seamlessly coordinating large group photos and directing wedding party photos so that everyone looks natural and amazing. His pictures are spectacular and breathtaking! And he got them to us in less than a month! We are so happy that we entrusted our wedding day pictures to him and can’t wait to print out some of the pictures to hang in our new home.
