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.

Jayna & Robert

Starting off the wedding season early, at the end of January, Jayna & Robert made it out for an engagement session in South Mississauga at Adamson Estates, where we encountered a wedding party photo shoot in full swing! At the end of January, the word was defiantly ‘Cool.’

Jayna and Robert’s wedding isn’t until November, and the weather won’t be summer like then either, so seeing this wedding taking place in -2c weather was certainly an eye opener. And while it is a while off, I am super excited about their wedding, but will also see them again, I’m sure at her sister’s wedding, which is in May of this year.

Please click “here” to see a couple more images from this quick end of January engagement session.

Horntrip Magazine: A rural café culture.

Here at home with my son, and while he is sleeping, I am getting caught up with my posts on work I’ve done for Horntrip, over a cup of coffee, no less, reminds me of my reoccurring visits to many of the local establishments that serve up a mighty fine cup of coffee. I haven’t seen FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper in any of these places, but if he was in the area on a special investigation, I’m sure he’d be found savouring some of the beverages and tasty treats and eats that are available. Most of the cafés in the county insist and make a vocal point of serving fair trade coffees, locally produced ingredients, and of course all with the flair that Prince Edward County is known for. And maybe one might find a rare slice of cherry pie.

Fashion Party at Kelly’s Shop in Picton

Like last year, we had a little fashion show type photo shoot at Kelly’s Shop. This year we ventured outside and did some photos in amongst the garden and, alas, the compost bins, haha. Nothing like some eco friendly backdrops. While the sun was hot, our models were hotter in the latest fashions available at Kelly’s shop on Main Street in Picton.

See more of the fashionable items available at Kelly’s in beautiful downtown Picton here
