Hey there,
I am Mikhail Thomas, a photographer based in Charleston, SC and travel everywhere. I'd love to be your photographer!
Becoming a photographer wasn’t always the plan. In fact, it was a complete accident! Let me explain. When I was in high school I had two friends that had been doing photography for years. They invited me out to go on a photo job with them and showed me the ropes. Afterwards we went out for a quick bite to eat at a Waffle House. The two of them had always been talking about joining together and starting a business and they invited me to join them as well. I happily agreed and got super excited! So excited, in fact, that I went out the next day and used all the money in my entire savings to go and buy a camera.
When I was paying for the camera I still didn't have enough, I was literally $1 short! Fortunately the cashier was a friend of mine from school (Danny Howard) and he let me borrow $1 so that I could pay for it. About 2 weeks later, I saw my two friends and told them that I bought a camera and I was ready to start this crazy venture! They told me: "Yea we were talking about it and we don't think it's going to work out, we aren't doing it anymore." 😐 😱 I was in complete shock and didn't know what to do!! I went back to the store where I bought the camera to return it, I had my receipt and everything. However, there was a 14 day return policy... I arrived on day 15 and I couldn't return it. A day late and $1 short pretty much sums up my origin story! 🤷🏾♂️😒
Anyway, I got really good at my job and have a lot of satisfied clients and customers. Wouldn't you like to be one too? 😉 ☺️

What my clients say!

"Our wedding day was the best day of our lives! A huge part of that was due to Mikhail. He exceeded our expectations by going above and beyond. Every moment of our special day was captured perfectly. His passion for what he does was evident as he made us feel at ease EFFORTLESSLY. We are so grateful to have met him and that he was our wedding photographer!"
Kaitlin + Nick
"My mom said she teared up at the first look photos. She told Kait she's known me 31 years and has never seen me so happy. I still can't get over how well you captured the day. I look at the photos and can relive those moments. I seriously don't know of a way to thank you enough, you just don't know!"
Jordan + Brett
"Mikhail! We enjoyed having you as our photographer!!! You were wonderful and went above and beyond my expectations 😊 I'm so grateful for my ladies and I'm glad you were able to witness how wonderful they are. You teaming up with Dina to help get that photobooth was so phenomenal. And while I didn't get a bunch of time to spend with Sarah, I only heard good things from Brett, and expierneced only good things at the venue it self. I hope life does throw some fun little twists where we get to meet again! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being a part of a wonderful day and our celeration!"
