Anna and Michael are wonderful people to work with. Their fine art images they captured of us at the engagment session and wedding and stunning. There are a lot of things I would have done differently at my wedding, but Anna and Michael are not!

Michael and Anna are true professionals. It was a real gift to not have to worry one bit about them. They showed up right on time, were patient and friendly with both families and the bridal party, and were a joy to have as a part of our day. I had a zillion and one things going through my mind on our wedding day and not once was I concerned about our photographers. I recommend them 150%. !

The Best! Anna was crying during our ceremony admitting that this was not the first and probably not the last time. Our photos are stunning. We love every one of them. Please hire them, if you like to get away from traditional, cheezy wedding photography. If you like to capture the mood, air and love throughout your wedding day. Also, hire them, if you want to look good. My husband loves himself in the pictures and that never happens! Haha!

I absolutely LOVE Michael and Anna! I cant say enough wonderful things about them. Right from the start when I spoke with Anna, I knew that they would be amazing. It was an easy choice because when you look at their work it stands out. There were no cheesy photos. They capture the most amazing moments in such a beautiful, artistic way. They were exactly what we were looking for. They showed a slideshow of photos later that night on their laptop and all of our guests were so impressed! They were so wonderful to work with ~ fun, friendly, and sweet! They work really well together. We feel so lucky that they shot our wedding!! We absolutely love our photos. They are all fabulous...we don't know how we will ever be able to narrow them down. I can't believe the number of special moments they caught....I never knew they took half of them..... that is what is so great about them. They are spontaneous moments and not at all posed or fake. Each photo is so artistic and beautiful! They are both amazing and wonderful to work with!!!! Another great feature is that they post the photos all online through Pictage so that as soon as they are done you can access them from the website. This was great for us since we live in Canada. We highly recommend them! They are the best out there!

Kristen Grinnell was a pleasure to work with. She was very interested in getting to know us ahead of time and about finding out what we wanted to capture on our wedding day. The photos came out amazing and will always remind me of how perfect and special our wedding day was. Kristen is a true professional with a full understanding of photography from both a creative and technical standpoint. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so. -Julie and Jay Miller September 29, 2007

Michael and Anna were absolutely wonderful to work with. They were incredibly calm and patient and extremely artistic. We chose Michael and Anna because we did not want the "typical" wedding photographer. We wanted individual, artistic, creative and unique pictures, and that's exactly what we got. They were fun, and work incredibly well together. I would recommend them to any bride and groom who want amazingly beautiful photos that look as though they were straight out of a magazine. I am anxiously waiting for the complete collection of our wedding photos - I know I will feel the same way.

Michael Costa and his wife, Anna, not only create beautiful pictures, but are beautiful together. They capture the truly special moments of your big day- the little romantic looks, gestures, and other wonderful moments that other photographers just don't seem to get. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat- they're that great.

I had an incredible experience with Michael Costa Photography. Anna and Michael are such a dynamic and talented team!! They went above and beyond the expectations of myself, my husband, and our families and friends. The images are fresh, creative, timeless, emotional, traditional and artistic. I cannot rave enough about these two. The talent and quality of the work could not have been better. The absolute icing on the cake though is the delightful personality of this husband and wife team. They are very genuine, caring people, and interacted so well with our family and friends... everybody adored them. Michael Costa photography offers the very finest, in fresh, creative, timeless, photography and superior customer service. Teresa (Bride)

Living in San Diego and planning a wedding in Santa Barbara I had to book a lot of things online and the photography was one of them. I was nervous about having a photographer that I had never even met but as soon as I pulled up to the location and saw them snapping away and then they introduced themselves to me, I was so relieved. They did an amazing job! I am very pleased with the pictures and would definitely recommend them to anyone!!

Michael Costa did an unbelievable job at our wedding. He was so helpful with the shuffling of 3 different families and with making sure we had our special moments as well. He was able to capture unique shots that we had never seen in other weddings before and really made everything very special for us. I would definitely recommend his services!!!!

Michael Costa was the most wonderful wedding photographer ever. I had heard horror stories about wedding day photography and how it takes away from your special day but Michael and Anna made the photography sessions fun. I would recommend him to anyone!!!! He went above and beyond any of our expectations from the little things like remaining in contact with us, sending thank you cards, to the quality of the photos. Many of my family members and friends also commented on the quality of his work and have gone on to purchase pictures he took at the wedding. He was able to capture not only the special moments I shared with my wife on that day but he also captured the atmosphere with friends, family, and the environment. Thanks Michael.
