Meet us
We are so glad you found us! We are Michael and Holly Crawford and together we are Michael Crawford Photography, a husband and wife creative team of wedding photographers and videographers. We believe that every individual, couple, and family has a unique story that deserves to be documented and preserved for themselves and future generations.
Michael started in the wedding photography industry just after high school in Ironton, a small town in Southern Ohio. He has been documenting love stories and other priceless moments for over 15 years. He knew photography would always play a significant role in his life from the moment he held his first camera. I first experienced the power of photography as I travelled throughout Europe and the United States. I fell in love with travel photography and the ability to capture beautiful cultures and architecture.
We met a few years after he moved to the Cincinnati, Ohio which is where I was born and raised. It was love at first sight for them both! We were married in Michael’s hometown on October 29, 2016. Shortly thereafter, we relocated to Virginia to be closer to family. After relocating, we decided to combine our mutual love of photography to form a dynamic duo of wedding photography and videography. We believe our two biggest attributes that we bring to the table are the personal connection we achieve with our clients and how well we are in tune with each other while shooting. These qualities help to ensure your special day goes smoothly and seamlessly so that every portrait conveys an authentic natural beauty. In our spare time, Michael and Holly enjoy taking their doodles Peaches and Archie to the beach, exploring new restaurants, and visiting antique shops. We are based in Virginia; and serve the following states frequently (PA, MD, WV, VA, NC, SC, DE and D.C.) and offer no travel fees on most wedding packages! Seriously! - NO TRAVEL FEES - Michael and I love to travel - and our business allows us to see and visit places we never would have known about or explored!
Praise
Holly and Michael were amazing! They made us feel so special on our perfect day. They never stopped working the whole night capturing all photos. We can’t wait to see all of our photos/video. We just know they are going to be beautiful! Thank you both so much!

Mike and Holly did an amazing job with our wedding photos! They were super responsive to my questions, delivered all the photos the day they said they would, and were such kind people to have around on our big day! I am so thankful to have such an amazing collection of photos to remember the wedding forever.

Mike and Holly captured our wedding day on April 29th, 2023 and they exceeded all of our expectations!
We first met them for our engagement session last year and they made us feel so comfortable, as my now husband and I had never had our pictures taken professionally before.
They made us feel such at ease and made sure we enjoyed ourselves while they captured the precious moments.
Mike and Holly attended to all of our needs during the wedding day, from Holly fluffing my dress to perfection, to Mike keeping my husbands nerves down before the ceremony. We had such an incredible time working with them and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an incredible couple to work with for their engagement pictures and wedding day pictures/videography!
Thank you again Mike and Holly!
