name is Mike Thezier (pronounced: tee-zee-ey). I am a husband, photographer, and designer who thoroughly enjoys communicating through media.

Photography became a passion of mine at the end of my time earning my degree in music. I love capturing people in honest moments - truely copturing the person for who they are and getting a glimpse into their lives.

I co-own a wedding photography company called Equals D Photography with a another fellow photographer and friend. Ryan and I have a blast joining forces for weddings, engagements, non-profit events, and other projects. Take a moment to check out our work here.

Beyond photography, my heart is very much into non-profit work.

I've had the priviledge, along with my wife (Janna Thezier), to work with a non-profit in India and Nepal for a few years coming along side locals in their efforts to better the lives of the people in their communities. I find so much joy in using photography and design to further such causes.

My wife and I got married on April 23, 2011 in Hemet, California and we are convinced that the "Honeymoon stage" does not have to end.

I am a person who is excited about life. I am a fan of camping, hiking, making fires with a magnesium strip (Thank you SurvivorMan and Bear Grylls), movies, and conversations over coffee among other things.

My love for the visual arts is continually growing and I find great joy in creating awareness and doing something about it. It is a beautiful thing that the camera can sometimes break down barriers and be a means of connection with people regardless of language or culture.
