We hired Mike on short notice to photograph our wedding. I am completely impressed and satisfied with Mike. I’ve been showing the wedding pictures he took to my family, friends, and colleagues at work. Everyone is thoroughly impressed with the level of sophistication of the photography. I think Mike captured exactly what we wanted. He was more than accommodating with our schedule and the requests for the photos that we requested. The images were provided to us promptly and we were able to choose from a large variety of photos with very interesting and unique angles and textures. Mike exceeded our expectations in capturing the feeling and memories of such an important event. Michael was very professional and patient with our family. We had our 3 kids(one being a toddler who wasn’t exactly having it the entire time) and our dog. He was very easy going with their needs and our wants for the pictures. I couldn’t be happier with our family pictures this year. They are beautiful! The colors, the lighting, everything!! I already have a 16x20 canvas hanging in my living room! I would highly recommend him to anybody!!! Michael Nesgoda is very friendly! Makes you feel very comfortable. All around great person! He takes some of the best pictures. I definitely recommend you try him out. You won't regret it!!
My fiancée, son, and I had a mini family session done by Michael and the pictures are extraordinary. His ability to capture genuine moments is truly inspiring. He was prompt, patient, professional, and most importantly personable. I would not hesitate to book another session with him in the future and wholeheartedly appreciate his skill.
Michael Nesgoda is one of the best photographers in Erie, Pennsylvania. His unmatched quality and dedication to get the job done is worth his price tag. He is official and progressing, considering he has only brought his photography abilities into the light over the past few months. All the pictures from my shoots turned out better than I imagined and could’ve asked for. The photo quality, the editing capability, and the scenery selection provided was all superb to say the least. He’s a natural and I will be going back to him for more photo shoots! Michael is an exceptional photographer with top notch customer service. He is extremely responsive, and worked very diligently to deliver what we were looking for in a family photo shoot. I appreciated that he was so thorough in making sure he understood us, as a family, and how he incorporated those nuances into both the locations and the photographs themselves. He managed to capture the personalities of both of my teenagers perfectly! I was impressed with how prepared he was the day of the shoot, and how flexible he remained with us. He was super friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. At the end of the day, he went over and above our expectations. Our entire experience was a positive one and I would highly recommend. The results are wall worthy portraits, and I would encourage anyone looking for a photographer to give him a call. You won't regret it! Michael made my experience very good, there was no awkward tension in what to do with myself. He made me very comfortable and relaxed. The vibes are very good and his work is impeccable! Being a friend of Michael since highschool, I had seen his landscape photography popping up on social media for some time. He would include technical notes on how he had captured and produced the images. His knowledged demonstrated he was not just a guy with a fancy camera. In honor of his daughter graduating from high school, Michael raffled off a photoshoot and I ended up winning one for myself and my family. From the beginning, despite it being free, Michael was inquisitivea professional. We talked about my family and our interests and our favorite places in Erie county and picked Pleasant Ridge park as the location for our shoot. Michael picked the time of the shoot to coincide with sunset that day. With my daughter, son, Michael, his assistant and a bunch of fancy gear we hiked a mile into Pleasant Ridge park on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Although we hadn't seen each other in years, Michael and I hit it off well, he engaged with kids and answered their 1,001 questions. We spent the evening finding sunlight in the woods and the fields, taking pictures and laughing about parenting. All in all, Michael is painterly in his photography. Uncanny, bright, crisp images. Interactive and informative as a person. The kids, myself and everyone I've sent the photos to has been impressed.
Very easy to work with and wanted you to be thrilled with your final images. It was great!

Meet Michael

Michael Nesgoda was born and raised in Harborcreek, PA, approximately twenty minutes from downtown Erie. Since childhood he has had a love for the outdoors and the beauty of nature. He got his first camera when he was 8 years old, while on a trip to Ireland where he discovered his love for capturing special moments. His eye behind the lens has developed over the years into a full-time wedding and portrait photography business. Aside from his wedding and portrait work, his images have exhibited at the Erie Art Museum, have been published nationally in Lighthouse Journal magazine, and in the United States Coast Guard’s annual calendar. If you ask Michael, he will tell you that photography is a beautiful way to express yourself and there’s no better canvas than NWPA.
