Dragon Studio Full Service Photography Service My name is Mike Dragon, I’ve been a photographer for over ten years. I later decided to pursue a degree in photography.

Photography began as a hobby for me and grew into my profession. As a child I used a 35mm film camera and began my first photography courses in High School. Taking the time to learn the science and the history behind the art gave me an even greater appreciation for my work. Out of college I worked for a local photographer as an assistant. I quickly became an editing, producing, designing, and phot

ography expert. Within the team I focused on photoshop and editing software. During this time I learned first hand what it takes to run a photography studio on a daily basis. My photography style is unique and unlike anyone I have seen. I understand the functional aspects of photography and take pride in being able to shoot with a fully manual camera in this technologically advanced age. I can develop my own film and learned alternative processes to make prints with sunlight and mixtures of chemicals in my parents garage. Although I am serious about my business, I take a laid back approach to photography and ensure everyone gets the five star treatment when working with me. Dragon Studio is a personalized experience where I know each client far beyond a business transaction. I promote a fun atmosphere where everyone enjoys the shoot or event I attend.

Insert heavy out of breath breathing….

In the past week and change I have photographed 5 weddings!

In addition to a couple commercial jobs and families too of course!

I just wanted to take a second to appreciate all of these newly married couples.

Every one of these weddings were unique to each couple. It’s one of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer.

Each couple wanted something a little different (to be expected).

I try my best to really listen to the couples about what they want and how they want me to interact with them throughout the day.

Whether it’s being super hands on or more hands off…

More lighting or less...

Lots of poses or keep it candid.

Rolling with it and giving each couple what they want is my goal.

And also having a great time while doing it!

I can not wait to share all of these weddings with them and the world. They were all really really pretty.

But most importantly all of these couples are really really pretty…
..I mean really really awesome.

Family time is always a great time.
Particularly when they bring along tiny baby foster cats.
And each other, because this family is one of the nicest families ever.
But also, the tiny baby kittens.

These two are definitely made for each other. I was lucky enough to get to know them a little bit before the wedding with their engagement session and family photos for Holly's family, and it made the day even more fun to see how everyone celebrated these two.

Molly and Miguel had an amazing wedding. I'm glad that they asked me to be their photographer - we had so much more in common than I realized. I think a lot of times it’s REALLY weird how things just seem to work out in a way that feels like it’s meant to be… I mean when I walked in and saw their seating chart was made of records and then found out that Molly and her brothers played hockey I just knew I was in the right place. Plus their wedding was full of unique little memories- from ice cream to groomsmen shenanigans to silly faces to getting to know Molly’s dress train… oh yea- and there was a pretty amazing party!

I've known Lauren and Nathan Price with Right Price Real Estate Team for a long time - since before they were Realtors. I like that I get to see them pretty often, and it's fun to get to update their marketing photos for them.

One thing about having a photographer that will help you update marketing photos regularly is that you always have a steady stream of content that doesn't get stale. The Prices understand that.
