Hi there!
Photography is my passion and has been for many years. I am a self-taught photographer and I have been in business since 2011. I have shot over 300+ weddings and engagement sessions. My work doesn’t just stop at weddings and engagement, I also shoot family, maternity, portrait, senior, commercial, and live music. If I’m not taking pictures professionally, I’m out exploring near and far traveling & capturing the moments of life as I experience them. Photography is much more than a job for me – it’s a way for me to personally connect with the people, places, and things around me. I want to thank you for visiting my website and appreciating the time and work I’ve put in to making my clients happy. As you scroll down, I want you to get an idea of who I am and how photography has shaped my life in every way.
My passion for photography started when I was very young, my family really sparked my interest in the world of Photography. I am an Iowa native but my early years I grew up in the quaint town of Roseau Minnesota, located right near the Canadian border. We lived there for six years and I loved every minute of it. My passion for photography began when I got my very own camera. I took pictures of anything and everything I found beauty in: animals, flowers, buildings, you name it! As I grew, so did my love for photography and soon, my camera went every where with me.
Today I live with my beautiful family in Cedar Rapids Iowa with my wife Erika and two daughters Nova, and Aurora. When my wife Erika is able she helps me shoot weddings, which is great because we make an amazing team! Hopefully someday my daughters will find a passion for photography, and they can also come help shoot weddings! When I’m not shooting weddings on the weekend, by day I own a lawn and landscaping company! As a family we travel often, Florida & North Carolina are some of our favorite places to vacation!
In my 12 years of shooting wedding photography my work often leads me outside of Iowa. I have shot in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Tennessee, Florida and Texas! It has been such a privilege capturing moments for my clients near and far!
I always knew photography would be a big part of my life. As I got older, I made it a goal of mine to pursue it professionally and I am proud that I was able to make Michael Grobin Photography a reality. Although I’m self-taught, I’ve started to advance my knowledge in photography by taking classes on the new and upcoming trends as a way to keep up with what’s popular in the profession. My photography packages are affordable and can be modified to fit your exact needs. I try to make everything as hassle-free and cost-effective as possible!

I hope to work with you in the near future!
