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.

There were a lot of familiar faces at Jordyn and Timothy's wedding - I met them at a past wedding AND one of their bridesmaids is one of my second photographers, Taylor. You might see her in a few photos. The venue actually belongs to her family and was the perfect backdrop to a pretty wonderful day.

Kaitlyn and Vince had a great evening for an engagement session at Yorktown Beach - where they got engaged months prior. Vince sold some of his rare Pokemon cards for Kaitlyn's engagement ring. They are so sweet together.

When you've got a packed dance floor - it's always a great time. You can basically guarantee if the couple is on the dance floor, everyone is ready to be on the dance floor when them.

But those private dances are just as special as the perfect way to end the night.

I started something fun this year. It's been something I've been wanting to do for a LONG time.

I added myself to my wedding packages as a "second" or "third" photographer.

Yup. That's right. I wouldn't be the main photographer for your wedding.

BUT... hear me out. Don't leave yet.

My sole job is to ONLY take the really creative photos for the entire day. I'll tell you what- it's great!

I have one of my amazing photographers (Misty, Taylor or Matt) handle the majority of the day. All of the typical wedding photos. My team is amazing and they are just as professional as me and do amazing work. They are fully capable of handling the day- of stuff.

Which leaves me FREE to do my thing. Of course I talk to the couples to see what they want me to focus on. But I dont often have the time to make every photo I take perfect. Or sometimes don't have the time to climb stairs to get a shot or climb under something or bring out multiple lights to make it dramatic.

But with this new Artisan package I offer all of these things are possible. You get all the typical wedding photos PLUS a TON of creative artistic images.

Sure you get those creative shots in every wedding. But this package maximizes those really fun, funky creative shots.

Receptions and speeches and all the things that get everyone involved at your wedding can be fun for everyone. The people there get to know you a little more, they get to celebrate you a little more. It's pretty great.

It's even better when you've got a fun DJ like Chris Rice with Music Makes You Happy there, too.

Being part of NACE has been great over the past year. I get to see event professionals that I love working with, we get get education and activities together, and it’s a great way to catch up with people when you aren’t at an event that you’re working.

The last meeting in September was a great time. These are just a few of the photos from being together at The Doubletree Virginia Beach Oceanfront Hotel.
