Micah Weiss Photography

We hired Micah to shoot one of our special appearances at AT&T Park. His task was to simply take photos of our truck which was carrying an advertisement. He not only wouldn’t deliver the photos without getting paid, but also upped his price at the end of the shoot, blaming cinco de mayo traffic! Once the photos were received, about 50photos, half of them had no truck in it and the other half were either upside down or just not usable. Be aware, do not pay this photographer until you see his work. and chances are once you see his work you won’t want to use him! We’ve tried contacting him several times and he is dodging the calls. Sketchy and unprofessional. DO NOT recommend using him!

Micah is a talented photographer with a unique eye that captures life in its all beauty. He is professional, affordable, and truly reliable. I hire Micah for all my special moments and he always deliver and more. If you are looking for a photographer, look no more! Micah is the photographer you want to hire. Thank you Micah for making our memories timeless!

If you’ve ever worked with Micah, you know he has extreme attention to detail, seeing the beauty of things internal and external then capturing it! His art direction and concepts are on point. His craft and skill are DOPE. Definitely one of the best in the business that I’ve ever personally worked with… That’s why he’s done most of my press shots ;)

Micah is one of my favorite people and photographers both. Whenever I see him with a camera I can’t wait to see what he later posts online. So many of my fondest memories have been captured by Micah’s sharp eye and natural instinct for what he does. His candid shots are the best! Micah is at the top of my list of people to hire for important life events in the near future.

I worked with Micah for a portrait project. I didn’t have a solid concept of how I wanted it to look (not the ideal client lol) but Micah took really great direction for the photoshoot. He offered ideas on locations and dress/​outfit, and gave me professional directions on how to pose. He made me feel comfortable and knew what natural elements would look great in the shots. He even offered to pick me up since I didn’t have a car to make it to Twin Peaks where the shoot was, and showed up a little early. The pictures turned out great! They didn’t look overprocessed but enhanced. He let me choose the ones I liked the most along with the ones he liked the most, and finished them in a week. He went to art school for photography and have been pursuing it ever since, and it shows that he really loves his work. He was such a cool, down-​to-​earth person to work with that I asked him to do a second shoot!

I hired Micah to help take some business portraits of me. I am sometimes shy in front of a camera and self conscious. He was nothing but professional in helping me overcome these problems showing the confident, motivated woman I am. He had suggestions for clothing best suitable for the concept I was going for and what would make me look and feel best. He had multiple location ideas and knew when to have me change outfits for a whole new look. In the end, he delivered high quality images, was a blessing to work with and had great artist direction. I would suggest Micah to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer with great vision.

Micah helped me build the image of my child care business. He was very patient with the kids, and had a lot of awesome ideas for the shoot. He exceeded my expectations on all levels and I had very high ones. As for communication after the shoot he was very professional. He stayed in touch with me via email (we exchanged over 30 emails and many FaceTime calls) and even sent it previews before finishing editing. (This made me the most happy.) He has such an incredible passion for photography and it reflects on his work.
He took us all over San Francisco to many parks and kid friendly places! Since the weather forecast turned out to be less than stellar he warned us the day before so we had raincoats and boots ready for whatever was to come. Micah had many plan b locations just in case the weather was really nasty, overall he was very sweet with the kids and stayed longer to make sure he had all the best shots. You can only imagine how difficult it can be to get all the kids ages 1 – 6 to all look at the camera at the same time! The shots all turned out AMAZING!
Ultimately I was very blown away by the professionalism and level of communication. I’ve worked with many photographers in the past and never have I been so happy with the results. I would highly recommend him!

I’ve used Micah for both personal and professional gigs. He took my husband and I’s engagement photos, which turned out incredible! I’ve also used him for a 300 person event my company co-​hosted with BMW and he also did my companies group/​head shots. He’s always been super great to work with, patient, and professional. I’ve also always appreciated the time he takes to takes to make sure the shots are «picture perfect». Highly recommend!

I run a dance music record label in San Francisco. Micah is one of our usual go-​to photographers when we need artist headshots. He’s prompt, wonderful to work with, and has a keen sense for art direction as well as being a highly skilled photographer.

I throw high profile house and techno parties at clubs and micah always takes amazing photos, not just of our patrons, but of what is going on in the club. the decorations, the mood, the dancing, the djs, the lighting and most importantly he captures the fun everyone is having. he is prompt with his return of the photos and always follows up making sure we like what we were given.

Worked with Micah on a shoot in summer 2014. Very professional, reasonable price, and he delivered all of the images within a week. Great photos too, I highly recommend him!

We first hired Micah few years ago to lead the photographic work of our fashion e-​commerce site. Since then we have hired Mr. Weiss multiple times and I can’t think of a better person to work with. Always reliable, strong work ethic, very reasonable rates and impeccable results.
I’m engaged and guess who will be covering the event ;)

Micah is an incredible photographer, you won’t find results like his anywhere else. he’s been helping me make my public image badass for over 8 years and has captured many special moments in my life I cherish daily. he’s easy to work with, easy to get along with, and very professional. as an artist or professional you don’t give out raw original files… so don’t expect him to do amateur things like that. hive fives Micah! keep killing game and standing your ground!

We hired Micah Weiss to photograph our wedding, May 17, 2014. Last year, September 9, 2013, we made a written agreement where Mr. Weiss was to work for 6 hours for $ 1000 to capture our day, and we would pay for his travel expenses, SF to Mill Valley, $ 35. We received similar quotes from other wedding photographers. Mr. Weiss was to provide ALL unaltered wedding images, so we agreed to pay him in full prior to the wedding shoot. At the wedding Mr. Weiss was staggeringly unprofessional. He arrived an hour late to the wedding, missing important shots such as the boutonnière being pinned to my husband. He arrived just about 20 min before the official I do’s. He asked me just hours before the wedding for the address and start time, information which was provided months prior. Mr. Weiss fought with the parking attendant, because the parking staff told him that he was blocking other wedding guests. He refused to move in spite of protests from parking staff, forcing the groom to stop his preparation to intervene. Mr. Weiss dressed in clothing not appropriate for our formal wedding day, bright blue tennis shoes, plaid shirt, and khakis. Mr. Weiss did not work during parts of the wedding: for example, during the ceremony he stopped working and then later at the reception he sat down at a table for guests. All other staff appropriately sat at other locations that did not impede on guests. It wasn’t until a minute after the reception began that he discovered the open bar. Midway through the wedding he became visibly drunk, there wasn’t a contract about not drinking the bar dry, but it’s apparent that he did. Multiple guests noticed this, including one who wrote me about it. His photos are all unusable after that point in the evening, showing a noticeable degradation in quality. He neglected to bring the list of formal photos he was provided a week in advance. A bridesmaid had to print another copy for him. He did not take all of the formal photos he was supposed to. A guest overheard him bragging that he was going to skip one of the most important images (B&G with parents on both sides) because it was «too complicated» to organize the people involved. Mr. Weiss only took photos from one side of the ceremony, so no shots of the bridesmaids exist. Mr. Weiss skipped major moments of the ceremony and reception, which were requested. He then takes a bottle of champagne home at the end of the evening, which was for guests. I was reluctant to say no because he was shooting our wedding. He DID NOT provide the images he promised after we paid him in full. He stated that («but as i see you guys traveling from country to country. its very clear that you had money, you were just stiffying me so you could spend it on yourself … making you look pretty bad. and after I got your free rental gear !!! you really didnt make yourself look like a great client … w all these actions and expecting so much») he wanted more money after the wedding was over, while we were on our honeymoon (it was more than stressful), stating that if we can afford to travel on a weeks long honeymoon, then we can afford to pay him more money for the images that we want. Beware, he’s untrustworthy, will try to gouge you for more money after the event, and staggeringly unprofessional.
