WEDDING and portrait PHOTOGRAPHER
photojournalistic for the adventure inspired

Mike Sears is a New Hampshire-based wedding & portrait photographer based in Exeter, NH.
I capture weddings, engagements, and portraits throughout New England including the Seacoast, New Hampshire,
Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts.
My style is authentic, photojournalistic, and classic. Nothing gimmicky or trendy. In my mind, timelessness trumps trendiness.
I aim to work as unobtrusively as possible, though at times, will help direct and guide you. My goal is to give you the best experience possible.
I consider myself a visual storyteller who shoots for the adventure-inspired using a photojournalistic approach to capture moments in time.
I consider it a great honor to be part of your journey and will work closely with you to craft images you will love.

"Hands down the best photographer you can choose for your wedding. We met Mike a few years back and knew we wanted to use him whenever it came time for us to get married. We even set our wedding date around his availability because he’s THAT good. Not only is he a phenomenal photographer, he has the best personality as well! He made us feel comfortable and made the process so fun. Although he’s a busy guy, he made us feel as though our wedding was one of the only weddings he was shooting this year. He truly made us feel special. Mike offers more to your shoot than your typical wedding photographer. The quality is stunning and the angles, lighting etc capture the day perfectly. We will cherish these photos forever”. (The Venue at Portwalk Place, Portsmouth, NH).

”Mike was incredible at our engagement shoot, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and sharing his photography knowledge. And, THE MOST FUN! The wedding day came and we were even more thrilled. We already knew how great Mike was, but one of the top comments we've been hearing about our wedding from our guests was how awesome the photographer was. He made my family laugh, and feel comfortable and is so incredibly kind and relatable. So many positive things to say! Too many for what this review allows! I would highly, HIGHLY recommend booking Mike for any wedding or life event you want to be captured. His spirit and true love for what he does is contagious and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him” (Portsmouth Country Club).

”I don’t even know where to begin! Mike is incredible and we feel so lucky to have had him there to capture our day. The photos of our day were absolutely INCREDIBLE. I can’t get over how good they are! I have received so many compliments from friends and family… they were all so impressed. And on top of that? Mike is an awesome guy and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! He’s so fun, so nice, and made us feel so comfortable - my husband isn’t a big photo guy and even he thought the experience working with Mike was excellent. Thank you, Mike, for capturing our day so perfectly. I would absolutely recommend Mike to ANYONE who wants a professional, personable, and highly-skilled photographer to document their best day ever!” (Labelle Winery, Amherst, NH)
