I knew very little about weddings and photoshoots etc. when I first hired Mike. I had done one mini photoshoot with him before and thought he was great to work with. I signed on with him pretty last minute and I had fears that he would not have enough time to prepare, but that was not the case at all. He jumped right into sending us information immediately. He had a booklet with tips and tricks that covered pretty much any question you could have. And he was always available for questions if he wasn’t answering them before I could even ask. My husband was extremely nervous when we showed up for the engagement shoot, but Mike had ideas to loosen the tension and make for great photos. For the wedding, he hired a second photographer and I was very impressed with both of them. They had a plan of what to shoot first, so that I could get the most photos for my money. He would often ask if they were getting enough footage or capturing the right moments, to make sure that I was going to be happy with the results. My wedding was gothic/horror themed and the location was an old farm so it had a unique feel. He was not afraid to take on the challenge and knew how to give that gothic touch to the photos. He was actually super excited by the theme, which made me more confident in going that direction. I don’t know what I was expecting to see, but the photo results were better than I could have imagined. It felt like the wedding day was a fairytale. I didn’t see all the stress I went through that day, I just saw all the love and happiness. I rarely like how I look in photos but I felt beautiful in these. I’ll treasure these photos forever. Don’t hesitate, hire Mike for your photography needs.

Best photographer in/around Sioux City! Mike made our wedding seamless and the entire day went smoothly solely because of his hardworking, dedication, and prior planning! Almost every one who attended commented how amazing his work was and how smoothly the day went. I'm forever grateful to have worked with Mike and I will be referring Mike to anyone I know who needs photographer, big or small projects. He can do it all!

If you want someone who will take you through the process, send you step-by-step guides for success, come to a different state, and capture everything perfectly, Mike is your photographer. I could not be happier with everything we received for both engagement and wedding photos. I don't know when we will need our next special moment captured, but we will definitely reach out to him again.

This was our first photo shoot with Mike, and he was very supportive throughout the whole process! He was understanding and flexible when we had to change the plan a bit and did a great job of making us feel comfortable during the shoot (especially since we weren't quite sure how to pose at first 😅).

He was very patient with us and really worked to capture the vision that we had. The photo shoot itself was a lot of fun, and I loved how the finished photos turned out! Mike would definitely be a photographer I'd reach out to again for future photography needs.

Mike was a lot of fun to work with! He really likes to get candid pictures that show people being themselves and acting as if they are just out having fun. He had a lot of good ideas and the photos did not take very long to get back either. We love them so much!

Mike did our engagement and wedding photos!! We just received the gallery from our wedding and let me just say, AH-MAZING work!!! He captured things I would have never even thought of and I’m so glad he did!! He seriously went above and beyond during the whole process! Hands down his work is one of the best, I highly recommend him!! Thanks Mike and team for capturing the best memories we could ask for! Pictured: engagement shots courtesy Kessel Kreations

My husband and I have worked with Mike of Kessel Kreations numerous times in various capacities and absolutely love working with him. Not only is he an amazing artist and had honed his craft well, he is professional, and a calming presence when needed. 10000% recommend him for any photography or videography you may need, professional, personal, weddings, or otherwise!
