We're the team behind Justin Michael Studios. Producers, editors, and creatives with global credits and a few Emmys between us. We've spent the last two decades in unscripted television, and we bring all of that to everything we make here.
Executive Producer & Creative Director
I started in unscripted TV back in 2004. Since then I've worked across just about every genre you can think of: docuseries, reality, talk shows, comedy. Networks like MTV, TLC, HGTV, Bravo, and a lot more.
The through line has always been the same. Tell stories that feel real. That same instinct guides everything we do at Justin Michael Studios. Whether it's a wedding film or a personal project built from your own footage, the goal doesn't change: keep it honest, stay true to what matters, and make the whole thing easy.*

Story Producer
Liz is a two-time Emmy Award winner with over 30 years in lifestyle television. She's produced for TLC, HGTV, Discovery, National Geographic, and more.
Her credits include House Hunters International, A Baby Story, Say Yes to the Dress, 90 Day Fiancé, and Long Island Medium. Shows that work because they're grounded in real emotion.
At Justin Michael Studios, Liz shapes the narrative spine of every Long Story Short film. She has a gift for finding the moments that matter and making sure the final cut reflects not just what happened, but why it mattered.
Director of Photography
Mike has over 20 years behind the camera. He's shot everywhere from New York City to remote villages in Asia, and his work has been on shows like Say Yes to the Dress, 90 Day Fiancé, and Long Island Medium.
He's known for keeping a calm set and having a sharp eye for unscripted moments. His approach is low-footprint and natural, which lets real things happen on camera. He also works with a trusted network of operators so every shoot is covered at the highest level, no matter the size.
At Justin Michael Studios, Mike brings a cinematic eye to real-life events. He makes every story look and feel like it belongs on screen.
Between us, we've worked on over 50 series across nearly every major network. Here's a look at where we've been.
