About Michael Freas Photography

Michael Freas Photography

Owner/Photographer

I’m an Asheville-based photographer and lover of the great outdoors, fresh ground coffee beans, flannel + fall, and going on adrenaline based adventures. I'm like a best friend with a camera, or the guest you didnt invite but glad I showed up. You'll feel completely comfortable and natural throughout the wedding day. No stress, no pressure.

My commitment to my couples, use of creative lighting, impossibly fast turnaround time, and communication are what my couples love about working with me! For me a wedding day isn't just about capturing beautiful images, it's about telling a story. Your story! I want you to be able to look back on your images for years to come and be transported in time to exactly how you felt on that day. This means capturing all the little in between moments as well!

This Is the Photographer You Want

We highly recommend Michael as a wedding photographer. When our wedding was rescheduled due to the Asheville hurricane in 2024, we found Michael—and we’re so grateful we did. Michael was incredibly attentive; before the wedding, he met with us during our venue tasting to understand what we wanted and regularly checked in as we approached our date. On our wedding day, he excelled at organizing everyone—even as rain and lightning approached, Michael made sure every photo we wanted was taken, sometimes with drill-sergeant precision but always with good humor. Michael’s second shooter, Jesse, was also wonderful to work with and helped make the experience enjoyable for everyone. Michael’s strong personality was perfect for us, and the photos are simply stunning—they capture who we are as a couple and look even better than we imagined. We wholeheartedly encourage anyone planning a wedding or event to give Michael a call.

Thank you both so much for such kind words. I’m grateful our paths crossed after the hurricane and that I could be part of your day. From meeting you at the tasting to navigating the weather together, it was an honor to document your wedding. I’m glad Jesse and I could help keep things smooth and fun, and I’m thrilled the photos reflect your story the way you envisioned.

Mike from Freas Photography truly made our wedding day memorable. He treated us like family, not just clients, and his expertise and professionalism helped us capture our dream wedding. Throughout the planning process, he was always available to answer our questions promptly, whether by phone or email. What stood out to us was that Mike not only captured the photos we requested but also took the initiative to capture moments he knew we would cherish as a couple. During the wedding day, Mike struck a perfect balance between ensuring we got the photos we wanted with our loved ones and giving us the space to savor the precious moments. His attention to detail was evident as he navigated the event seamlessly, ensuring that each photograph told a beautiful story. The photos he delivered were truly breathtaking, and we are grateful to have these memories to cherish for a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend Mike and Freas Photography to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer. Every penny spent was worth it, and we are confident that you will love his work as much as we do. Thank you, Mike, for being a crucial part of our special day.

Michael was absolutely the best to work with! We used him for our engagement photos in the Blue Ridge Mountains and our wedding in New Orleans and he delivered perfection both times! He is worth every penny. He understands lighting and photography so you get the most incredible photos. We highly recommend him!
