Two sets of eyes.
One honest frame.

Michael Tan Photography is a husband-and-wife team based in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

We’re drawn to real movement, real connection and photographs with a strong sense of place. Our approach is calm, direct and detail-focused so the experience feels natural and the final images still feel like you.

Whether it’s the people closest to you, the car you’ve built or an aircraft in motion, we start by understanding what makes the subject yours.

Your first stepA simple inquiry

How booking works

From first idea
to final frame.

Tell us your idea

Send your session type, preferred weekend or timeframe, location and a little about what you want photographed.

Agree the details

We’ll discuss availability and provide a quote covering the session, edited images, delivery and any travel. Once we agree on the details, your $25 booking deposit reserves your date and counts toward your total.

Make the photographs

We’ll plan around the light and your subject, guide you through the session, and deliver the agreed images on the timeframe in your quote. The remaining balance is due on session day.

Before you inquire

more clarity.

When are sessions available?

How much does a session cost?

Do I need a specific location or date?

A city and a rough weekend timeframe are enough to start. Tell us if your weekends are flexible or if you’d like help choosing a location.

Can you photograph outside Fayetteville?

Include your preferred location in the inquiry. Availability, travel costs, location permissions and access will be discussed for your project.

What happens if the weather changes?

For outdoor work, we’ll discuss weather and location options during planning. Any changes to timing or location will be agreed together.

What if the photographs are for a business?

Tell us where you plan to use the images, such as a business website, social media or advertising, so the quote can address the intended use.
