Welcome to Michael Grills Photography!

If you haven't guessed by now, my name is Michael Grills and I have been practicing photography since I was in High School. I am a self-taught photographer who has been specializing in Wedding photography for over 6 years, working for a well respected photography studio in Toronto.

Upon my move to Prince Edward County two years ago, I have broadened the scope of my work. I have a long list of commercial clients, including Taste the County, Fifth Town Cheese, Gilbert and Lighthall, Books and Company, Miss Lily's and Scout Design.

My photography can help enhance your company's online presence and in use for brochure and magazine publication.

In addition, I also bring my style of natural light and location photography to my family and baby portraits.

Contact me so we can discuss how I can beautifully capture your wedding, company or family.

Commercial Mini Sessions

Until June 30th, 2013, Michael Grills Photography will be booking mini sessions geared to small business owners who operate on a small scale and cannot usually afford regular photography prices. Details are outlined in the brochure, but the basics are:

Sessions of 30 minute intervals for $60, plus tax.
Bookings can be added on to, to create 60 or 90 minute or more time frames.
Clients can also piggy back with other vendors.

The benefit in these sessions is that if you increase your shooting time, I will take $10 per half hour, including the first 30 minutes.

Use them for yourself, or combine them with other vendors/friends to share in the costs and the fun of a photo shoot.

Please contact Michael at studio@michaelgrillsphoto.com or at 613.503.1405

This offer ends on June 30th, 2013. Some conditions apply.

Women with Vision – Jeanette Arsenault

From a photo shoot with Jeanette Arsenault, one image was used for the cover of the spring 2012 issue of Women with Vision. Jeanette is truly one of Prince Edward County’s most talented artists and is outspoken in her drive to help others and those in need all around the world. We should be glad that she calls Prince Edward County home. Thanks Jeanette, it was a pleasure photographing you in studio.

Photography for Advertising and Marketing campaigns.

While I have been offering this service for quite sometime, I figured it would make sense to publish a brochure which highlights the purpose and outlines my services that I offer to small and large businesses in the Prince Edward County area and beyond. Advertising is such an important medium to communicate your products and services to current and potential clients. One often overlooked aspect is photography. Often, cell phone or Point and Shoot cameras are used to visually describe what is available at your establishment. These photos, while they do visualize the object or service, often do not make it look appealing or attractive, and thats the whole purpose of advertising, isn’t it.

And with us all watching costs, our advertising dollars have been seriously under the microscope. Its bad enough that we sometimes feel the cost of a newspaper ad or brochure is not cost effective, but add in some unappealing or out-dated photography, and your prospective viewer is quickly turned off. It is my goal to visually improve how your establishment is seen and considered by consumers.

All clients receive a full consultation prior to the scheduled session to provide an efficient session time to number of images. If you feel I can help you promote you and/or your business, please feel free to contact me and I would love to sit down with you and discuss your needs. Thank-you.

Previous clients include Fifth Town Cheese, Regent Café, Regent Theatre, Angeline’s Restaurant and Inn, Books and Company, East and Main Bistro, and more. For more images, please visit my website and on Facebook

Jill & Terence at Mildred Temple Kitchen

My last wedding of 2010 took place in Downtown Toronto at Mildred Temple Kitchen in Liberty Village. Jill and Terence put together a eclectic, vegan wedding together in a fun but sophisticated style.

We decided it would be a great idea to travel around Toronto and take some pictures at some of their favourite locations. Suspect video, Bellwoods Park, and a quick stop at the new Dufferin Street underpass at Queen West.

After our photo shoot, it was back to the Gladstone for some relaxing time before heading to Mildred Temple Kitchen for the Ceremony and Reception.

Of course, there are more images for your viewing pleasure ‘here‘!
