Trailhead Creative - Photo & Video

and as individuals and they even made photo/video packages specific to our needs and named them based off of Disney parks (since that is where we got engaged). Even though we had to make the tough decision to postpone our wedding, M + K we’re there every step of the way and supported us during that difficult time. Having them do our engagement and wedding photos/video was one of the best decisions we made. We’ve now known them for a little over 2 years and they feel more like family than a vendor we hired for our special day! Their excitement for our wedding was what made the experience absolutely amazing! They even gave us the cutest little sneak peak of photos at the reception and I honestly cannot wait to see the rest!

g (thanks, covid), so that we could at the very least have those we could no longer invite, join us virtually. We searched and searched for a videographer that fit our style, our needs, and our budget. Finally, we came across Michael and Kristin’s website and we knew we wanted and had to have more than just a livestream. Michael and Kristin’s films are so beautiful and artfully done, and tailored to each of their couples’ styles. They made us feel so incredibly comfortable. They captured us in our natural state, just let us have our moments and do our thing- we hardly knew they were there! That being said, they definitely gave us direction when they knew they could get an incredible shot! And now, after having lived our wedding day, we know for CERTAIN that it does go by in the blink of an eye, and knowing that Michael and Kristin were there documenting every treasured moment was so comforting. We’re now able to relive this day again and again, share it with family, and be able to pass it down to our children- it’s so incredibly special. And our friends and family who watched the live stream said it looked and sounded great! Thank you, Michael and Kristin, for capturing these moments :) https://vimeo.com/485595295

g for a simple live stream videographer since many of our friends and family weren’t able to attend, but we are so glad we booked M+K for their full service video package! Having a video to share with our loved ones became so much more meaningful after a year of sacrifices and distance. Now onto the fun stuff! We talked with Kristin to book and she was super warm and kind from the get go and very clear about their services and helping us shape a package that would work for us. In between the booking and day of, she was very communicative and easy to work with. She told us exactly when they’d be at the venue and what to expect and what they would need from us (which was very little). Day of, we met M+K for the first time and they immediately make you feel like you’re an old friend and you feel comfortable in front of the camera right away. They are both super friendly and easy going and work so well as a team! Having a husband and wife team is the way to go! They know each other’s movements so well and can coordinate seamlessly that they catch every important moment from all the good angles. While shooting they give encouraging feedback and tips on what to do or where to look without being overwhelming. During the big moments, you forget they’re there and can really soak it in. They let the moments with your husband or wife linger and don’t rush, but are not shy to ask you to look at the camera or do a certain movement that they know will look stellar on camera. We booked M+K from the first look into the reception and they captured all the moments and speeches perfectly! Our reception went a little long and our time with M+K was running out but they stayed a little later than scheduled to make sure they captured all the important moments. We can’t thank them for being so generous with their time and talents! After the big day, they delivered the video in the time frame they set. I’ve heard some stories from friends about their video being delayed and delayed again, but not from M+K! They tell you a time and stick to it. As for the video editing, we were blown away! We’ve pretty much had it on replay for months and it still makes me tear up a bit watching it. They picked a perfect song for the video and cut it brilliantly. All the special moments are there and even some that I don’t remember! M+K are such a terrific team and wonderful, talented people. I highly recommend them for wedding videography and I’d even recommend them for non-wedding videography cause I’m sure they make any event look amazing! Thanks again, Michael and Kristin!

it was to communicate with Mike and Kristin before and after the wedding. And we received our photos so quickly! Thank you so much!!

d talented! It's immediately clear they're excited to be part of your big day and we were at ease immediately. Thanks to Michael & Kristin we have gorgeous photos and wonderful memories. Can't speak highly enough!

jumped at the chance when the moment came! They were so flexible working with our quickly evolving plans (2020, need I say more?) and were down to help us organize our day from start to finish! Kristin is a master planner; she not only knows the answer, but has probably written a blog post about it and has a ready list of suggestions for every twist and turn. As a photographer myself, I thought when it came time for my own pictures I’d be ready to plan things out, but it is WAY different when it’s your own decisions to make! Kristin and Mike helped every step of the way, offering expertise from their experience with warmth and kindness. On the day it was so fun nerding out with Mike during our shoot about camera gear and shooting preferences, and he put my fiancé and I at ease immediately. I’m not used to being on the other side of the camera (and my partner is NOT a picture person) , but we felt instantly comfortable and supported by Mike’s directions! We had the space to just be ourselves, and by the end of the day we felt like supermodels. When we got the pictures back, they were exactly what I wanted and more: authentically us, natural, intimate, and beautiful to boot. They even included film scans and pictures I had no idea they’d taken (details and location pictures) that showed the character of the day so perfectly! Ok I’m done gushing, but seriously — we had an amazing experience getting to know them, and are going to treasure these photos forever. Thank you so much Mike and Kristin! For all 2020 has thrown at us, we have gorgeous photographic proof of a perfect day celebrating our partnership! (And on that note, extremely professional, cautious, and accommodating for all of our Covid concerns! Masked, distanced, shot outdoors... check, check, check! Highly recommend!!)

uple--not one video was alike. They really made an effort to get to know us as a couple throughout the wedding planning process, were such a calming and lovely presence on the day, and our final video is truly breathtaking. They also provided the raw footage they took as well so we could really relive the day! If you are at all on the fence about having a videographer at your wedding, hire Trailhead Creative--you will not regret it for a second.

eople loosen up for the camera. My wife (Mia) and I had such a blast working with them and are incredibly grateful for their amazing work! Thank you Mike & Kristin for beautifully capturing the best moments of our lives!

essional but also had the ability to talk to us as friends. We felt so comfortable around them which allowed us to be ourselves during our sessions and helped capture our true personalities. They could envision our dream and helped it become a reality. Our engagement photos, wedding photos and wedding video are something I will brag about for the rest of my life. I use every excuse to show their work and recommend them to anyone I can find. Paul and I are so thankful to have had them capture our wedding day and cannot be happier with their work!

some other truly amazing and beautiful shots from our day. We are so happy we chose Trailhead Creative for both our wedding photos and video! Being able to relive our wedding through photos and video has truly been the best. If you choose Trailhead, you won't regret it! Thanks again so much, Mike and Kristin!!!

rs! Kristin and Mike have an impeccable eye and our film absolutely exceeded our expectations! They are true documentary style photographers/videographers in that they capture all of the candid moments you want to be immortalized before you even realize it. We were absolutely blown away, and their attention to detail and cohesiveness is so evident in the quality of their films. Kristin and Mike are genuine, thoughtful and professional and we truly enjoyed working with them! Honestly, we didn't even notice they were filming the entire day/night because they were so inconspicuous! We had numerous positive comments about this as well from our guests. Again, that is the beauty of working with Kristin and Mike. They capture each person as they are in the most beautiful way, without being obtrusive. They are also open to suggestions and were SO flexible with us, we can't thank them enough. There is definitely a difference between a mediocre wedding video and a spectacular wedding video, and TC consistently creates the latter. If i could give one piece of advice to couples who plan to get married, it would be to hire not just a videographer, but Trailhead Creative! It seriously adds a completely different dimension to memories of your wedding, even more than photos. We look forward to showing our film and raw footage to our children someday, and we are so happy we have the best day of our lives on film!! Thanks again Kristin and Mike!

ictures turned out. My husband and I both loved how personable and helpful they were throughout the whole process. Anytime we had a question, they answered it right away and made us feel at ease. We truly got to know them and it felt like we were working with friends. On the day of, it was raining, and they reassured us it would all work out and we still would have amazing pictures. They were right! The umbrella pictures turned out to be our favorites and such a fun memory we never will forget. I could go on and on about how much I recommend them! We have memories that we will treasure forever! Don’t think twice, book Mike and Kristin!

Kristin to do our engagement and wedding photos is one of our best decisions we’ve made. We would and do gladly recommend them to everyone and anyone who’s looking for photographers and videographers. We loved our engagement photos and how natural they made us feel. We are both pretty camera shy and don’t love being in the spotlight- and they made it feel easy and natural. Getting to know them was such a treat, we thoroughly not only adored every single picture, but having them be a large part of our wedding day!! They were so easy to work with, had amazing communication, competitive prices for the quality and quantity of images, but also went the extra mile. Kristin texted with me about wardrobe malfunctions on the day of the engagement shoot and helped me put together what to wear, and on the day of our wedding every single person commented on how amazing they were, they did anything to get the perfect shot. They captured every moment that we could have wanted, and did so with a smile. Mike & Kristin- thank you for everything. We will be forever grateful for these photos that bring us back to our happiest day.

h a crucial and incredible life moment and entrusting Trailhead Creative to capture that moment perfectly was one of the best decisions I've made in my entire life. There, I said it.  But truly, Mike and Kristin are absolute professionals. Not only do they excel at their art, they also handle the business side of things with the same amount of detail and care. We felt like we were in such great hands whether they were behind the camera or sending a text or answering any of our many dumb questions.  From our very first FaceTime call, to our engagement shoot, to the months leading up to the wedding, and even now, after the wedding, Mike and Kristin have felt like more than just our wedding photographers. They've been our collaborators, cheerleaders, and friends. Their photos captured more than just how my wife and I look--they captured how it feels when we're together. And as two plus-sized people, we never felt anything less than our beautiful, unique, authentic selves when we were being photographed by these two.  We learned that in wedding planning, lots of things can fall through the cracks. Vendors can be unresponsive and unhelpful. Drama can and will find its way into your process. In all the chaos of wedding planning, Trailhead was our calm, happy place. If you're stuck on who to turn to to photograph your wedding, go ahead and stop here. Send Mike and Kristin a message. You'll be very glad you did.

and was super helpful throughout the whole process! Highly recommend!

and oh man, are we glad we booked them. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Their ability to capture joy and the energy from the day is incredible. They're the dream team. We will treasure these photos forever! On top of being mad talented, they're just incredible people! Funny, real, amazing folks! Highly recommend! 10/10! The best there is! Do yourself a favor, and book them!

e were pleasantly surprised by how great all the pictures turned out. Mike did a great job!

wedding instead of there working it. We love them! Would very highly recommend

onal, geniune, and easy going. Frank and I were very pleased and we will always reference them!

h every penny. We really wanted a video in order to have full recordings of the ceremony & speeches. We got that and SO MUCH MORE. First off, Kristin & Mike are such an adorable duo. They are chill, easy to get along with, and so damn talented. There were a few instances when I was stressed about the timeline and my bridezilla started to come out, but Kristin, with her motherly voice, calmed me down and assured me we were doing just fine. I was so grateful for that. They also just felt like guests at our wedding who held small video equipment. I never felt overwhelmed by them or even noticed them filming, which made our video seem so real and natural. They also stayed longer than our photographer, willingly took additional photos of my husband & his friends smoking cigars since our photographer had left, and then danced with my family before heading out. The finished product was worth the 3 months wait. They not only captured every detail and natural smile, but also put their own unique artistic twist on it that truly makes it one of a kind with a killer soundtrack. I cannot wait to show it off to our friends and family. We have also already watched it a dozen times and we got it yesterday :)

They got along so well with our bridal party and guests. Mike and Kristin were with us every step up the way, without being in the way. They let us enjoy our day and captured it so uniquely. The video they made for our wedding is beyond amazing. From the moments to the music, they created something truly magical for my husband and I to relive for the rest of our lives. It was a wonderful experience working with people who are genuinely excited to share your joy. Anyone would be lucky to work with Mike and Kristin. I would choose them again in a heartbeat and believe me, I'm looking for any excuse to work with them again.

d to go for it. They captured the day in ways that we wouldn't have been able to ever relive otherwise. And our video was completely unique, not just a compilation of video of us taking pictures, which is exactly what we relayed wanting. We can't stop watching it :) They have about 50+ outstanding reviews from our friends and family on the post where we shared the final video - everyone enjoyed being able to see the day from a perspective they didn't get the day of. Phenomenal people, communication, and work. Can't recommend these two enough :)

pictures will help replay the memories forever. We recently just got our wedding photos back and they were better than we could ever have imagined. Kristin and Mike captured our wedding day PERFECTLY. We couldnt be more pleased with the way our photos turned out and how they captured our personalities and the personalities of our guest. Kristin and Mike were so easy going, fun to talk to/work with, and personable. They really care about you, your day, and makign sure their work reflects that. Thanks to them I have photos of my wedding day that help me relive every moment.

se wedding photo session and our wedding day photo and video and we could not have been happier to have them be a part of our special day. Kristin was so on top of everything, from planning ahead of time and getting details to the day of and keeping us all on schedule. Mike killed it and is such a brilliant and creative mind and he absolutely knows what he is doing. We could not have asked for a better couple to capture such amazing moments for us and we HIGHLY recommend them to everyone!

hey have an awesome pre-wedding planning process that ensures you get to know each other and they understand your vibe, provides tips and things to consider at the right time, and makes sure they have the details they need, all in a way that isn't stressful. They're super easy-going and communicative. They were totally self-directed on the day of the wedding, which was fantastic, because we were too busy having fun to keep track of anything. I'm really glad they were a part of our wedding!

g, I had no idea what I wanted for flowers, what type of dress to get, or how I wanted to write my vows. All I knew is I wanted Trailhead Creative to capture every moment and detail of our special day... and that I wanted tacos haha Both Mike and Kristin were professional, punctual, and absolute fun! They were prepared and provided amazing communication before the wedding day, during the big event, and even after we were awaiting our beautiful photos... which... they ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! I highly recommend having these two on your wedding day, I promise you won’t regret it!

your special days comes. We did not have a long wedding (only 4 hours in total) but they were able to capture every special moment that we wanted. They know how to find themselves in the right spot to make you look like a star. They were the best, most professional, easy going, ready to work, vendor during our wedding. We are so happy they are the ones to have captured our special day!

ght out the love we have for each other in their photos. They made the experience so relaxed and fun. The ideas they had were fabulous and the pictures turned out great. They weren’t intrusive to the day and were available whenever I had the need for a photo to be taken. The initial prep work we did together made the day go smoothly. They thought of everything. We are so happy with the end result. I would highly recommend Trailhead Creative for your wedding photographer.

will be so, so glad you did. Overall, I was absolutely blown away by my wedding photos. They were a dream (I mean, just look at them!). Mike & Kristin's attention to detail and passion for their work just shines through in every photo. They have such a talent for finding the best shot, and their creativity was exactly what I was looking for in a wedding photographer. I've been married for two months now and am still receiving compliment after compliment about the photos I've posted. I also want to give more insight into actually working with them. From the beginning, it could not have been easier. They quickly respond to emails and calls and work with you to map out the day, so no important shots are missed. All of you very busy brides can attest that not all vendors are this accessible and accommodating, which was very refreshing! On the big day itself, they were just amazing. They make you feel comfortable behind the camera, so they can catch those intimate (often awkward for the everyday person) shots that you'll cherish. Never once were they bossy or intrusive - they were very go with the flow, which I appreciated. That's not to say they didn't buckle down when it came to my laundry list of important family photos. They made sure they captured each one... and quickly at that! However, they truly shine in their candid work. On my big day, I wasn't in the mood to pose constantly or micromanage any of my vendors - after all, I hired them for a reason. They sought out just the most stunning pictures that I never would've thought of and considered the artistry of the entire shot (lighting, angles, editing, etc.) each time. Pro tip: if you have a very large wedding like I did (300+), splurge to the second shooter. It really made all the difference for only a bit more in cost. Once again, I'd like to say 'thank you!' to Trailhead. You really captured my wedding day in a timeless way, and I am thrilled to have this photos to look back on.

ked in with us periodically before our wedding, which we really appreciated, and really made a point to understand what we were looking for and what we wanted for our wedding. Plus the pictures are GORGEOUS!! So many of my friends said that we looked like models for a wedding catalog (*blushes*) and that they were some of the best wedding photos they'd ever seen. We would highly highly recommend them!

e day incredibly accurately. Looking at the photos helps us relive that happy day again and again, which is a treat because the day flew by so fast! They blended their skill and artistic vision with our styles and preferences seamlessly, providing high-quality photos that turned out even better than we could've hoped for. Words that best describe Trailhead Creative: Fun, easy-going, professional, talented. Mike and Kristin are a joy to be around, and we are so glad they were the ones who captured our wedding day. Choosing Trailhead Creative was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning, and we continue to highly recommend them to all of our friends searching for a wedding photographer.

s group was so easy! Mike (our photographer) was somehow completely invisible during the wedding and yet captured every single moment. He had the best energy and was willing to do anything we needed. Dan and I are thrilled to have these photos hanging in our home forever. If you are in need for photographer, I wholeheartedly advise you to contact Trailhead Creative. They have earned my business for life.

r work is unparalleled. But what's more is that these people truly care about the couples they work with. They were with us every step of the way- making us feel comfortable, handcrafting stunning images, and helping us tell our story through photo. We will cherish their work for a lifetime. Cannot speak highly enough about Trailhead Creative! A thousand times, thank you!

th our engagement and wedding photos. Mike works intentionally to not just take a snapshot for memory's sake, but to have each person that sees his work relive the experience and emotions through his high-quality photography. It was out of the question that we would even consider another photographer not just because I know Mike as a friend, but because of how he cares for his clients, his creative perspective, and the passion he has for his craft. He makes photo sessions comfortable, accommodating to any personal needs or desires, whilst adding his creative perspective. I have even had the pleasure of seeing him work on edits post photo sessions. You wouldn't believe the attention to detail he takes in considering his clientele's desires! Working with Mike is a real experience that you will never forget before, during, and after your photo sessions.

ing our beautiful video - it was all incredible! Trailhead Creative was phenomenal at meeting our needs, which including a very special request to live-streaming the wedding for my mom, and our other friends/loved ones who were unable to physically attend our dreamy day. They knew we wanted our ceremony to be captured audibly, and they provided that within our quote. The day of, we had both Mike and Kristin, along with their amazing second shooter, Aaron! Even with all of that coverage we never felt uncomfortable and they all did a perfect job of creating moments authentically and without fixing or forcing anything. Such a relief when you aren't used to being "on camera" all day! We now have this beautiful expression of our amazing wedding day to share with each other, and the people we love. What's best? We have gained friendships with Mike and Kristin, which is truly a gift! We couldn't have imagined working with any other videography team for our day!! So grateful!!

ough capturing each individual’s personality. I LOVE looking back at pictures of my husband and I laughing with each other, just being “us”. Those are the memories that I am now able to save for a lifetime! Thank you for being so genuine, fun, and just plain awesome!

bserve and truly capture your personality. Mike shot our wedding in 2016 and we had an amazing experience. He made us feel comfortable on a stressful day and brought with him a positive vibe that made taking pictures so fun. Not to mention he delivered incredible pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Can't wait to show our kids how good Mike made us look on our wedding day.

s at our favorite spot! We went out to Mount Erie. The mountain we started dating, where we got engaged, and where we had our maternity photos for our son. Mike and Kristin fostered such a natural and genuine time for my husband and I to be together. It really didn’t even feel like we were getting our pictures taken. And the pictures turned out AMAZING! Such a sweet time. We are so thankful to have these photos that bring back so many memories of our adventure together, from the beginning!

the business in my opinion!

nd I away. If you are looking for an experience rather than just a photo shoot, I highly recommend Trailhead Creative!

creative risks that benefitted in a great way for our wedding and engagement photos. His photos are all over our living room and the quality takes my breath away even almost a year later! I would recommend him for your wedding and engagement photos hands down. He made things run smoothly and even put the boutonnieres on the guys. What a life savior! He does it all! I know that now adding Kristin, things are going to be even better!!
