Bend Oregon Wedding Photography
Documenting the Love. My Approach.
As an award-winning photographer in Bend, Oregon, I want you to remember not only what your wedding day looked like, but what it felt like.
What was the moment you knew you had found YOUR PERSON? In what ways are they different from everyone else you’ve met? How does your partner elevate your life? Many people spend a lifetime searching for a love like this. And you’ve found it.
Now it’s time to celebrate that love with all the people who matter most in your life!
I seek to create photographs that serve as anchors of emotion. To have photographs that are alive with love, intimate moments, and laughter on your walls. People choose my wedding photography service because it leaves them with a constant reminder of just how special and lucky they are to have their partner in their life.
Engagement Photography
I specialize in creating a unique engagement photography experience for my clients. The experience begins with a deep understanding of the special bond you have with one another.
It’s important to make sure we are on the same page when discussing your Engagement Photography Session. Through a consultation, I will learn about you both and ensure I can celebrate who you are to each other – the foundation of your relationship. Together, we can highlight the places in and around Bend, along with the activities that you, as a couple, love to enjoy together.
Let’s explore locations in central Oregon that are special to you two, not just some random pretty place. Bringing your pet along for the ride is highly encouraged.
Wedding Day Photography
That trust we build together culminates on your wedding day. Your wedding day photography captures very important moment you’ve planned in detail.
I strive to capture your story within each candid interaction. Documenting the joy and roller coaster of beautiful emotions that happen throughout the event. The moments that tie into one another, to tell the complete story of the most important, and meaningful, day of your life.
You’ll get to focus on the fun, knowing and trusting that I’ll be there to document all of the awesomeness.
It’s a journey I love to walk with all of my wedding clients. Let’s connect and begin your journey together!
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
“My husband Liam and I had an amazing time working with Mike. From our first call, he was very personable, friendly, and committed to creating a meaningful relationship with us. He patiently and thoroughly helped us understand all of the choices we had in working with him and provided amazing results.
Every time we shot with him, Mike made us giggle and feel comfortable in front of the camera. All of our family and friends commented on and enjoyed his enthusiasm and energy at out wedding. He became part of the party and fully captured the love we felt throughout the day. We could not be more thrilled with how our photos came out and will cherish the moments he captured for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Greener Visuals for any professional photography services.”
“If you are looking for a photographer who is as talented as he is enthusiastic, look no further than Mike Greener.
“To say that I was pleased with Mike’s work is an enormous understatement. My wedding photos from Mike are the most gorgeous photos I’ve ever had. More importantly, they capture the joy, excitement, beauty, and overwhelming love that I felt on that day. There are so many PERFECT photos that it will be almost impossible to choose which ones to frame.
From day one, Mike was communicative and responsive, and always relaxed and cheerful. At the wedding, his presence was one of calm competence. I gave him a list of family portraits to take, and he corralled our family into place with cheer and good humor. He was a pleasure to be around — one of my guests even commented how nice it was to see the photographer having FUN doing his job. My guests loved Mike, and he made all of us feel so comfortable. And during those times when you want to pretend he’s not there, he disappears: During the ceremony, I never once saw him or his partner, and yet the photos they captured during the ceremony are some of my absolute favorites.
The bottom line is that Mike’s skills are unparalleled — you will, without doubt, LOVE your photos. Just as important, he is a joy to be around. The photographer may be the person you have the most one-on-one time with during your wedding, besides your spouse-to-be; you want that person to be fun, easy-going, and charming. Mike is that person. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Mike! I’m one who doesn’t like pictures of myself very much, and somehow I love every single image Mike delivered to us. Going in to it, I was worried about the price we paid for the package we chose; it was worth every penny and then some. We would recommend Mike to anyone who is looking to capture every aspect of your special day. He knows how to capture every single moment while putting a smile on your face. It wasn’t just about his vision though; he called us several times to talk together and individually so that he could get to know us better and be able to focus on the things that we thought were important. He wasn’t just the photographer that day, he was a part of the family, he helped us document our big production. I’m glad we chose Mike over anyone else, he knew how to capture the magic of the day. Thanks Mike!”
“It’s hard to say what I appreciate more about Mike as a photographer- his positive energy and downright charming manner, or his fabulous photographs. It’s rare to find a person who is both easy-going and fun, AND extremely professional. Mike is all of these, and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a wedding photographer!
“Mike was the first to arrive at the ranch on the wedding day. While scouting out the property, he was lucky enough to encounter the black bear which he calmly shooed it off by waving his cameras. Definitely not your typical start to a wedding day. Mike Greener’s personality is, for lack of a better word, perfect for the job he does. He is personable, fun and easy which makes the “photographed” feel at ease and natural, making for successful and flattering photographs. His documentary style is unique and exciting.
His photographs are very alive and dynamic.
I wasn’t able to be everywhere at once, but through his photographs, I feel like I can share a bit more in everyone’s celebration. Mike is the one for capturing facial expressions and emotions. Mike was amazing at not only being invisible when needed (during the ceremony), but also has a talent for working with all the family members. He knows what compositions he wants, he knows how to ask for them and he gets results quickly, so our guests didn’t have to wait all that long! big plus for everyone. Having said that, he was more than happy to oblige our every need, desire and request.
His only downfall was that I wanted to hang out with him more, but he was “on the job”. I know I speak for my husband and Mother when I say I am indebted to Mike for doing the job that I had hoped for. Picking a photographer can be daunting, as the market seems to be flooded these days. In conclusion, the three words I’d pick to describe Mike as a wedding photographer would be; comfortable, perceptive and prepared.”
“Mike Greener is absolutely the best. Our interest in him was first sparked by the quality of his beautiful photos online, but we became increasingly confident with him after reading his bio, speaking with him on the phone, and through email correspondence. It was truly tremendous to finally meet him and spend the day with him while he captured our memories. He made us comfortable and did a fantastic job ‘herding cats’ and managing some crazy aunt behavior! He’s very positive, patient, outgoing, adaptable, and I could go on and on with adjectives. Bottom line: He knows what he is doing and you will be more than satisfied if you choose him as your wedding photographer. Mike, we LOVE our photos! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
“After looking at approximately 25 different photographer’s wedding photos we decided to book with Mike Greener of Greener Visuals. There is no comparison. He is the best. Mike works incredibly hard to capture the story, the love, and the entire feeling of the day. He creates a relaxed environment while working hard, running around getting incredible shots. He takes his time to get a feel for the area he’s working with and has a creative eye for knowing what is going to look amazing. We have gotten more complements on our photos than I can count. We are so happy with everything Mike did for us! Thank you, Mike, for capturing our wonderful day.”
“Mike Greener is an AMAZING photographer! He was flexible and open-minded when it came to our wants and needs as clients. He has an eye for such natural and storytelling photos. He has a sense of humor and knows how to make a bride feel at ease on such a stressful day. He was there from start to finish on our big day. That was one thing that I really wanted in a photographer. I didn’t want a “4-hour package”. I wanted someone to document our journey from morning to night. Mike outdid himself, and I am so thankful we hired him for our wedding photographer. When I look back at my wedding photos, I feel as though I am reliving the best day of my life. We would not change ANYTHING about our experience with Greener Visuals.”
“I’ve always had trouble relaxing around photographers — but not Mike! He put me at ease from the moment I met him. Mike manages to make photography fun. At the same time, he also takes seriously his commitment to photograph important life moments. He is enthusiastic, reliable and hard-working. He works well with family and friends of all ages. He did a beautiful job with our wedding and our engagement party, and now I never want to work with anyone else. Two of Mike’s greatest strengths are his candid photos and action shots. He really knows how to capture a moment — whether it was our first kiss as husband and wife, the breaking of the glass, or our special moments on the dance floor, Mike’s camera caught those moments and preserved them for us forever. I’d recommend Mike to others in a heartbeat — for weddings and all other occasions!”
“Josh and I got married last year in Charleston, South Carolina. Mike was incredible! He flew across the country to come photograph our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. We tell stories about Mike when we get together with our family and friends about how hard he worked and captured every special moment from start to finish. Everyone loved Mike at our wedding and ask for his info all the time. Mike will slide across dance floors in dripping sweat to make sure he gets every perspective of the wedding. His pictures really tell a great story and he is so easy to work with on top of his great personality!”
