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.

One of the coolest parts of what I do is getting to photograph people in different parts of their lives. I got to do Morgan and John’s wedding - and then I got to do their maternity session. It’s pretty special.

If you’re looking for a great wedding venue and you haven’t checked out the Legacy at Willow Pond yet - it’s incredibly beautiful. Veronica and Mark have worked really hard to create something special out in Suffolk for couples looking for the perfect venue.

They’re also working with Chef by Design Catering Co. for the food - so you know it’s going to be great.

Their grand opening was a great night to talk to so many awesome vendors and people who were celebrating with them. I’ve already got a couple who’s excited to get married there next year.

Getting to work with great businesses like Montero's Restaurant to update their content photos for things like their website and social media is a blast. Not just because Andy makes great food, but because he's got an awesome staff, great atmosphere, and a diverse menu.

Man, babies are the best. And the way that they make you feel like you’d do anything for them? Even better.

Even the dogs were feeling that way.
