I'm Retired. I enjoyed the past 12 years with all of my clients. It has been an honor to see people during such happy times. I enjoyed most all of the toasts where I get to hear stories of how people met and how proud the parents are of their children.
With my free Saturdays, what I do now is take photographs of trees and water and other bits of nature. I have a studio in the Northrup King Building in NE Mpls (1500 Jackson St. NE, Mpls, MN 55413. Studio #274).
Please stop in and see my new work all of it is for sale and might look real nice in your living room or office.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE:
On your wedding day, magic is everywhere. Michael McGraw Photography will transform that magic into beautiful images you will cherish forever.
On a day when stress-levels can run high, our goal is to put you at ease. Formal portraits are quick and fun, with two photographers capturing your elegance from every angle in color and black and white. Then, as your day unfolds, we accompany unobtrusively--carefully documenting every gorgeous detail that makes your wedding unique.
When the big day is done, your photographs will tell the story of your wedding over and over again. Let us capture all of your day's best moments--from the tiny to the dizzyingly huge.
I try to photograph all of the details of the day; if you spent the last year picking out flowers, the cake, and the centerpieces, I'm going to take a picture of them.
I make sure to use the best equipment available so that you get the best photos possible.

"Michael McGraw has shot weddings since 1997 and has become known for blending his portraiture skills and his candid photojournalism style to reflect a couple's wedding day with emotion and beauty.

From Minnesota Bride Magazine, Fall/Winter 2003, "Best of 2003"
"Mike, it was a pleasure to work with you and your assistant at our wedding. The photos before, during, and after were all wonderful. Our favorite feauture of the photos is that our friends and family look so happy (rather than artificially posed). We enjoyed looking through them together and had the Zamboni Photo enlarged and framed. What a great conversation piece. After bringing some photos to the office, my coworkers were amazed at how they give the feeling of being at the wedding again. Your talent is such a gift. Thank you."-- Kristi and Dave
