Michael was an incredible presence at our wedding. He is professional yet fun: keeps the atmosphere light,
but get's some serious work done. We've all been to weddings where the pictures take hours and are grueling,
this was the opposite. Half an hour of group shots, and a bunch of candids-- and we had an entire album.
He arrived ready to work, and didn't stop for the entire six hours of our wedding.
He was always smiling and laughing, and there for all the right moments.
The end results are stunning-- everyone who has seen them asks who the photographer was.
He made the day so bright and vivid that I was in tears looking at the pictures.

Michael,
Wow! Really fantastic work! Sue and I love the photos! We cannot express
how sincerely grateful we are. The pictures really capture the little
details of the day and you have really caught the personalities of everyone who
was there. Thank you so much! Our Mums will cry when we show the pictures to
them. You have created a perfect memento of our day for us. Truly, thank
you!
Sincerely,
John Eatherly, Groom
We are very pleased to have had Michael Bauer as our wedding photographer He made us
feel so relaxed about having our pictures taken, and gave us as much time as we
needed to discuss what we wanted prior to our wedding. As a result we have
beautiful candid pictures of our wedding and also all the little details of our
little details that we chose to add to the day. Mike has really given us a
wonderful document of our most precious day. Our families' and friends'
personalities and our joy on our day really shine through. We recommend Mike
highly. A photographer of this skill and ability to empathize with his
subjects is rare. We were very impressed with his talents and pleased with the
results!

It was so exciting to come home and look through all of the pictures! You did a great job - we love them.
I have sent the link to all of our friends and family to look through and they love them, too.
You captured everything we were hoping for! We got the CDs in the mail, and now the challenge I face is trying
to decide which wallet photo to send out in our thank you cards.
Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication!

My name is Jay Nazz and I'm a member of a national touring band called Reckless Kelly.
We held our first annual celebrity softball event this year in Austin Texas raising money for The Miracle League.
We had bands and athletes from all over, 7,000 seat in attendance and hired Michael Bauer to take pictures of the event
from the field. We had to correspond quite a bit prior to the event and his response was always immediate.
He was everywhere he said he was going to be and always prompt.
He managed to get so many great pictures from the field and the dugout while maintaining a low profile himself.
Many of the pictures we are sharing with our corporate such as Dickies.
We would have him be apart of any of our future events with great confidence in his instinct and etiquette.

I've worked with Michael Bauer on a couple of projects in the Seattle area.
He provided just what we needed for the Brandi Carlile feature in Seattle Sound Magazine and I
would definitely work with him again.

Beautiful Pictures and Excellent Service!
Michael did some photos for me and he was great! I really liked his laid back personality and he really
listened to my suggestions and ideas. The pictures turned out beautiful and I got them very quickly after the shoot.
I will definitely recommend him to friends, family and clients in the near future. Thanks, Mike!

Michael Bauer Photography is Amazing!
I worked with Michael to add photos to my modeling portfolio and felt so at ease and got such great images that
I had him do my engagement photos, which also turned out beautifully.
He's very easy going, great to get along with and wonderful at what he does. If you need photos he's your man!

Michael Bauer Photography is Awesome :)
I had a blast working with Michael Bauer :) he made our shoot very relaxing and I like that. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a fun and enjoyable photo shoot.
And of course in need of great pictures :)

I've been collaborating with Michael Bauer for approximately ten years on various graphic projects.
He communicates clearly which saves both time and money. We typically complete a project after two or three drafts
which is very quick for a client. Normally I have 7-10 drafts before completion.
His photography has been a natural fit for me (see SharynAliceMurray.com, print, second poster).
His photography captures emotion, depth of field, the lighting, composition is stunning but most importantly his
subjects pop.

Michael Bauer is a consummate professional and was open and willing to take any shot we needed.
His photos of our musicians in action, both onstage and backstage, really capture the essence of the experience.
He has a great eye for "the shot" and we were lucky enough to walk away with number of usable options.

I've had the pleasure of working with Michael Bauer on a recent photo shoot and he was very professional.
It was pleasurable working with him, and I'm looking forward in seeing his model portfolio grow.

I had a good time and will definitely be working with you again. The proofs look wonderful,
I really do like them. They make me want to do more outdoor work,
so we'll have to shoot again soon. The color photos are beautiful, but the black and whites are magnificent.
I'm very pleased with the day's work!
Alicia Blyth, Local Model
Michael They look great! :) I can’t wait to get the rest of them.
Thanks again. You will be highly recommended to all my friends.

We love working with Mike, he's a great photographer. Our CD Release
Pictures came out GREAT and we were able to use two of his shots for our
CD cover. You rock Mike!
Jason and Alysa, Everyday Jones
Working with Michael Bauer for my latest CD & promotional shots
was an absolute pleasure. Mike's professionalism immediately put me at ease
and his creativity yielded some very cool photos. One of which is now the
cover shot for my album 'Sail Away!'
Eva Tree, Local Songwriter
The photograph that graces the CD (sic Eva Tree “Sail Away”) cover is simply beautiful and reflects
what is contained inside, making for a solid package both visually and musically.
