photo@michaelbonfigli.comABOUT MEI am a Washington DC based photographer who has been photographing in the DC area and abroad for over 20 years. I was raised by Argentine parents in a small town in Vermont and my interest in photography began with a family trip to Buenos Aires when I was 10 years old.
I was intrigued by my uncle's stunning black and white images on the walls and since that moment I was hooked. Once back in Vermont my father reinforced that interest as he would develop his prints in the bathroom as I watched in amazement the magic unfold before me. My excitement and desire to capture this magic with a camera continues to this day.
I strive to make beautiful, elegant and creative photographs that capture the emotion, candid moments, and the unique personality of your special day. My work is highly editorial and I try to incorporate an additional layer of styling experience to my weddings. My portraits are gently styled without feeling too posed. The final set of photos is a blend of spontaneity with lifestyle editorial, timeless and beautiful compositions.
One of the biggest complitments I receive is that I make people feel very comfortable in front of the camera and that I find ways to truly communicate my subject's personality.
My hope is the my clients fall in love with my work, I want my style to resonate with their own vision for their day. That you trust my eye and simply allow to do what I do best. That allows me to be in an environment to do my best work.
