Meet Sarasota Wedding Photographer Michael Orzell

I’m Mike, based in Sarasota, Florida, working with families across the Gulf Coast, with a passion for capturing life’s most precious moments. For over a decade, I’ve documented weddings, engagements, and family portraits with a photojournalistic eye and calm, easygoing energy. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and natural; resulting in photographs that authentically reflect who you are and the moments you share.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me on the pickleball court, photographing wildlife, enjoying a cup of coffee, or exploring the outdoors with my wife and kids. In 2025, my family and I traded cold Connecticut winters for coastal sunsets when we relocated to Sarasota, Florida.
