Weddings, Portraits & Events

Serving the greater Capital District of New York State

I am a photographer who enjoys working with people, primarily "on location" photographing weddings, mitzvahs, anniversaries, family reunions and other events. In addition, I enjoy portrait work with children, families, individuals and pets. I would be honored to capture your event as a story in black-and-white, color, and artistic effects. I can provide coverage for your event from one hour to all day.

In 1997, I left mechanical engineering in order to start a new career as a stay-at-home dad. In the spring of 2000, with the support of my lovely wife, I was able to follow my true passion and start Michael LaRose Photography. In addition, I also enjoy many outdoor activities including running, biking and hiking. I also enjoy designing and making stained glass windows, cooking and (saving the best for last) I brew the beer I drink.
