In their words.

Michael and Brooke gave us better wedding photos than we could have ever imagined. They captured so much personality in the pictures and were wonderful to work with.

I truly cannot recommend Michael enough. My fiancée and I are both so uncomfortable being the center of attention, and he made us feel so at ease throughout the entire process. The photos don't look like photos — they look like paintings.

We can't get over Michael and Brooke's exceptional images of a romantic and rainy June wedding at our farm. Their images capture not just the beauty of the day, but the soul of it.

Truly amazing humans who are so talented with their craft. They chronicled our family for the last 8 years and I'm consistently blown away at how they capture light and feeling at the same time.

My fiancé and I knew that we wanted to work with Michael and Brooke the moment we first viewed their work. Our experience with them was everything we had hoped for and more. They have a gift for making you feel completely at ease, and what they produced felt like art.

Do yourself a favor and book Allen-Kent Photography. The ache of pure joy and happiness their photos gave us is a feeling I will carry forever. Worth every penny and so much more.

I had a vision for a proposal with my girlfriend, and after a single conversation with Michael I knew he completely understood what I was going for. He executed it better than I could have planned myself. She had no idea. The photos are unreal.

Michael shot for our surprise engagement at the dunes and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He was so personable and kind, and made everything feel natural. The photos make me cry every time I look at them.

I have been trying to write this out for days and have been struggling to even find the words. My fiancé hired Michael to photograph our proposal and it was the best decision he could have made. The photos were beyond stunning and bring tears to my eyes every time I see them. He made us feel so comfortable the whole time, letting us just be ourselves and soak in the moment. If you are thinking about booking with him — do it.

We couldn't have asked for a better engagement photographer. From the very beginning, Michael was incredibly personable and made us both feel so comfortable. The photos feel genuine — not posed, not performative. Just us.

It was really tough finding a photographer who didn't rush me off the phone, especially for something as important as this. Michael listened. He asked real questions. By the time we got off the call I already trusted him completely.

Michael and Brooke are the absolute best. From start to finish they made every step feel easy and exciting. The engagement photos came back and I lost it — in the best way. Every single one.

Taking our summer family photos with Michael has become one of our most meaningful traditions. This was our third year in a row. He somehow knows how to make everyone — even the kids — forget there's a camera. These photos are the ones on our walls.

We hired Michael to take photos of our extended family while on vacation in Traverse City. He managed to perfectly capture the energy and chaos of a big family in a way that felt real. We were laughing the entire time. The photos show exactly that.

My kiddos and I had the best time. Michael was super relatable to all of us — even my teenager, which is no small thing. The photos didn't feel like photos. They felt like the actual day.

Michael captured my son in absolutely beautiful senior photos. The emotion in each picture is perfection and truly captures who he is. He came home saying how much he enjoyed the session and felt like he really connected with Michael. That's not easy to do with a teenage boy.

I don't think my grandson was really looking forward to his senior pictures, but Michael brought the enthusiasm with him. In no time at all he found common ground, made it a great experience, and truly captured his personality. I'm so impressed.

Shooting with them was a blast. They made me feel so comfortable and helped guide me through the entire experience. I love every single one of my senior photos. They're beautifully edited and truly capture who I am. Without a doubt the best up North.
