My first time working with Michelle was in 2012 at my college roommates wedding as I was serving as a bridesmaid. She was so kind and friendly, I felt like she was part of the group. I also was very impressed with her attention to all details, from accessories to making sure all of our bouquets were level (which I didn’t realize just how important that was). After my experience and seeing the pictures, I recommended her to three other friends whose engagement and wedding photos she did. From that group, she was recommended to another friend and in law and did their engagement and wedding photos. The official photographer of my entire group of friends and beyond. It’s been so fun to be part of all of these memories and so great to see how beautifully captured but still uniquely different each wedding appears. She finds the true beauty and the once in a lifetime special moments at each event and it has been a joy and pleasure working with Michelle. More...

Michelle was excellent. She was professional and did an excellent job photographing our wedding. She was easy to work with and helped remove the stress of our big day with her pleasant demeanor. We received preview photographs quickly after the wedding and the actual pictures came quicker than expected. Each one was gorgeous providing great memories of our special day! I would definitely hire her again in the future! More...

Michelle and her team were AH-MAZING!! Our story wasn't your traditional wedding ceremony and reception so she photographed our wedding reception with our closets friends and family and she worked with us and was SOO flexible and easy to work with! Even though I had already gotten married 7 months earlier, she made me feel like I was a new bride all over again! I told her what I wanted and she also got some great shots that I would have never thought about getting! When I turned around to find her because I saw a moment that I wanted captured she was always right there to take the shot so no good chances were missed! Would reccommend her 1000X Over!!! More...

Michelle was so much fun to work with and is amazingly talented! Our wedding photos are something we will use to remember this day forever and we are so, so in love with them! Not only are our photos more than we could have ever dreamed of, she was so helpful at keeping us on task throughout the night. I was overly stressed the day of our wedding, but her joyful, calming personality allowed me to focus, have fun, and really enjoy the day. We would have been lost without her! She was very professional and gave us gorgeous photos to cherish forever. 100% will be using her for future photos! More...

Michelle is a true professional! She was great at candids but also checking out the list of all the group photos we wanted! She took absolutely beautiful photos of our church ceremony (managed to do this despite all the regulations), gorgeous photos of the bridal party and all sorts of combinations of the family of the bride and groom, and beautiful portrait photos of us! She took photos of all guests throughout the whole reception and was totally responsive to all requests by guests! She was always there where we needed her! Even though it started raining for our portrait photos, she was creative and flexible and we managed to get snaps of us later in the evening outside at the golf course! She did a slideshow of some pictures that were ready DURING the reception - all guests, including me (the bride), were so pleasantly surprised and fascinated by the beauty of the shots! I recommend her SO MUCH! She posted about 10 photos the day after, and made a blog about 5 days after the wedding! I received so many compliments about the photos and hundreds of likes on social media! She did the weddings of my 2 brothers-in-law, which also turned out amazing!

Michelle is awesome!! Very professional! My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but she helped us feel relaxed and actually made us look good in our engagement and wedding pictures! I ended up making a photo book online with our wedding pictures and it is the most beautiful collection of photos I have! I will cherish them forever! More...

Michelle was great to work with! On the day of the wedding she arrived at the church before we did (since we were running a bit late) but didn't mind having to wait a little for us to get there. She was quick with taking the family portraits in the church which my mom really liked - she was good at telling you where to be, when to get in or out of the picture, and overall moved it along very nicely. We found a place to do outside portraits after the ceremony, just a random pond/lake area, and she turned those pictures into gorgeous portraits. I knew where we were was pretty, but I had no idea the background could look like that! Overall she was a great experience! :) More...

Michelle captured literally everything we asked for and more. She was completely responsive and gave a lot of time and energy into our wedding day. Honestly, can't thank her enough! We highly recommend her for her professionalism and patience. We have a rowdy group of friends / wedding party and she was just the person we needed to keep everyone moving in the right direction to being able to capture everything we envisioned for that day. She got the pictures back to us within a week - a lot quicker than I thought it would be! Everyone loves them. The pictures she captured really embodied the love my husband and I share together between our friends, family, and each other. Thank you so much Michelle for everything! You are a truly lovely and talented person. More...

Michelle was hands down the best photographer I have ever had the pleasure of working with (and I've met quite a few thru my friends' weddings as well). She was kind, compassionate and so easy to be around. My husband, who hates taking pictures, felt so completely at ease both for our engagement photos and our wedding. I cannot write enough great things about this woman! I will be using her photography services for the rest of my life!! More...

Michelle was absolutely wonderful. I couldn't have been happier with the end result - our photos were absolutely gorgeous and exceeded my expectations! She worked with us during the planning process to ensure we left enough time in the timeline to get all of the important shots. Plus, she even pulled a few selects at the reception to show us and guests - an amazing touch! We received our photos in a very timely fashion and continue to be happy! More...

Michelle took the photos for our wedding 5 years ago, and after that four other friends and friends of friends have booked her! The photos were stunning, but also captured the vibes of our special day. She was so sweet to work with and made us feel comfortable even though being in front of the camera wasn't something we were excited about. She also was nice enough to travel to our wedding which was 3 hours away, right after she had her baby! Michelle will be a fun addition to your big day, and you'll be thrilled with the results!

I fear that no matter how many words I type, they won't be enough to express just how wonderful it was working with Michelle. We contacted Michelle when the photographer we had booked canceled. Michelle was incredible from day one. She was easy to talk to, answered any and all of the ridiculous questions I threw at her, we never had to wait too long for a response, and she made us feel so confident. she was open to our thoughts and ideas, and guided us to get the perfect shots. The pictures captured not only the beauty of our venue from the smallest details to the big picture but the entire feeling of our wedding. I have already gone through her blog post of our pictures about 100 times in the last 2 days, and that giddy feeling I had the day of came rushing back each time. Michelle, we can't thank you enough for being a part of our wedding, for capturing the love Josh and I share. You are an amazing person and photographer. We can't wait to have you be a part of our future as our family grows. - Abeer C. More...

Michelle did an amazing job from start to finish! We searched a lot of photographers beforehand, and knew that she was talented! We hired her for an engagement and the wedding day. The turnaround for pictures was AMAZING!!!! I was not expecting them that quickly but she far exceeded my expectations with how many were delivered. I feel as though they captured a lot of the emotions that day and I look back at them so frequently! Even had one photo printed as an 16x20 (for a frame we used at the wedding) and it looked awesome!! More...

Michelle provided us with not only perfect pictures, she was also an absolute joy to work with. Planning a wedding is stressful enough. The last thing you should stress about is finding an affordable, personable photographer that may or may not take great photos of the most important day of your life. Michelle is everything we could have ever asked for. She not only provided us with us with stunning photographs of our day, she was on time and ready to go without needing any direction from me. She captured everything I knew I wanted and more. She goes along with the day and even tho feeding my friends an open bar for 4 hours could have induced more disastrous and embarassing dance moves, she managed to capture some of the most memorable moments not only of me and my husband but of my family and friends that made our day perfect. Her turn around time on getting the photo link to you is the fastest Ive ever seen. She actually managed to edit and post a picture during the reception! I would absoutly use her for future projects as well. More...

Michelle was absolutely awesome to work with for our wedding photos. We had a mini engagement session with her first, mostly so that we could get to know each other and style of shooting so we would feel comfortable on the big day. She is very easy going and on top of all the details that I couldn't remember (being the busy bride). She connected with me in advance about the details I wanted and was able to capture everything beautifully. My husband later told me that he was initially worried about the photography during the ceremony - and expressed his relief that he didn't even notice that she was even there lol! All of our pictures came out gorgeous!! We are very pleased with the work that she's done. Very happy that we chose her to work with for this difficult job & we highly recommend her. We are forever thankful that she's given us these precious shots to keep with us forever. More...

WE LOVED MICHELLE! She did an amazing job with my bridal portraits and from what we've seen of the wedding photos, she absolutely knocked it out of the park. She is so friendly and accommodating, and we so appreciated that she was able to bring a second photographer to our wedding. The number one thing I remember about Michelle at our wedding was that she was always around to catch the best shots. She really knows her stuff, and somehow can get even the most camera-shy person to bust out the best poses. Definitely consider her for your wedding photography! More...

My husband and I had Michelle do our engagement and wedding photos! She has always been super professional and responsive! You can email, text, and call her and she ALWAYS gets back to you! You can tell that she is always super busy with weddings! Which is a great thing! You can tell she takes her time with picking the best photos for you and will only send you the best photos! There are a lot of photos when she does get them to you as well! Be patient! Its worth it! We only had to wait about 2 months after our wedding to have our full album! We had a horrible experience with our first photographer that our vendor recommended. Believe me, Michelle with NOT let you down!! Michelle saved our wedding/engagement photos! She was very personable and sweet! She was super flexible with us and took our engagement photos on the hottest day of the year last year but you could not tell in the photos with her professionalism! She knows how to work that camera! I usually do not like photos of myself. I would put up any of the photos that she had taken for us! They are just such high quality and beautiful! She captures the perfect moments between everyone at your wedding! If you have any special requests she is more than happy to take certain photos! Michelle is super sweet and knows her stuff! She was able to work well with ALL of our guest at our wedding! I would and do recommend her to EVERYONE! I would not believe the low star reviews on here! I will use her for any photos we need to have taken in the future! Tell all of your friends and family to giver her a try she does amazing work! More...
