hello!

my name is mike cordone, owner of mc3 photo. I am a digital and film photographer based in queens, new york city, documenting counterculture weddings in an artful way.

I feel incredibly honored when someone chooses me to be part of their most important day. my goal is to blend into your wedding, capturing the raw energy of the day while helping you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible. I bring a sense of calm when tensions run high and plenty of laughs to make sure we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

my purpose isn’t just to take photos—I want to be part of making your day exactly how you envisioned it. whether that means finding coffee when it’s needed or reminding you to eat dinner, I’m here to help. I don’t see myself as just a photographer. I want to make your day feel as magical as you imagined. and of course, all of this starts long before the "I do’s," with planning and getting to know each other.

as both a photographer and an engineer, I notice the details. I know how to problem-solve effectively, fixing an issue before you even realize something was off. my goal is for my couples to be fully present, allowing them to enjoy their day. I won’t steal you away for two hours just to get the perfect portrait for my portfolio. your wedding isn’t about the photos—it’s about the experience. the photos are there to preserve that experience and those feelings for a lifetime.

I am available throughout nyc and for destination weddings. I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure I provide the service you deserve. the most important part of that process is delivering your photos within four weeks of your wedding.
