Michelle was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to make a special day even more memorable. I would give her a perfect 10 out of 10. Her presence truly made the occasion shine, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring.

Run - don't walk and book Michelle for your wedding/event (if she is available!!) We have no words with how pleased we are with how she captured our day. We've only received a preview set, but are already overwhelmed with joy over them. My husband and I were on the search for someone who captured emotion over posed shots, as well as someone with a keen eye to detail. We were hooked from her black & white skills, and were not disappointed one bit. My only wish is that I could re-live my wedding day again because it goes so fast and I forgot everything, but now I don't have to because she captured our emotion and feeling. We will treasure these for the rest of our lives, thanks to Michelle. We had pushed our wedding twice because of covid, and while i hope people don't have to do that anymore, she was SO accommodating, and we cannot thank her enough for working with us. 110% would work with her again!

Our wedding photographer was "my thing", the wedding detail I was the most invested in because it would help us relive our day with our families now and in the future. I wanted a photographer who would capture the emotions of not just the bride and the groom but of the bridal party, extended family, and our guests. I struggled to find the right photographer who's portfolio wasn't a long list of static, posed images. That is, until we were recommended Michelle. O.M.G. I was instantly captured by her website and the wide range of weddings, locations, and styles she had covered. I am not an outwardly emotional person but I couldn't help but tear up at the images she shared online. I could not give a stronger recommendation for working with a wedding vendor. Michelle also shot our engagement photos which was the perfect way to capture images of Chris and me around our neighborhood and it was a brilliant way to get to know Michelle so that we felt like friends by our wedding day. Being a 2020 bride brought a whole new layer of stress and uncertainty to the wedding planning process, and her positivity, reassurance, and dedication to our wedding was and is so incredibly appreciated. Chris and I will forever cherish our engagement and wedding photos and are so very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Michelle and have her be a part of our special day. How many times do you get to say you were photographed by a Vogue photographer?!?! Love you Michelle!!! Pros: Michelle is a true artist and some how makes every shot look beyond glamorous. Creativity Responsiveness and level of detail in her communications. Major plus for Type A brides (and Type B.) Her ability to capture the emotion of the day. Truly wow. Cons: I wish I could pay Michelle to take pictures at every single one of our important life events because she makes us look way more attractive and cooler than we are. :)

Michelle was a dream to work with. We chose her for both engagement and wedding day photography after our long, drawn out selection process—my husband and I are both designers so we are really particular about aesthetic. Michelle is incredibly easy to work with and she has such a wonderful, laid-back and positive energy about her. She is not only an incredible professional—she also clearly loves what she does and very much gets into her work but also does it in a non invasive way and makes you feel very comfortable with her. She knows how to direct without making you too posed but also captures beautiful genuine moments and you can tell she feels a connection to each and every shot. She also was very attentive to the priorities we gave her and tried to make sure we got all the shots we were hoping for on our wedding day, while also incorporating her own unique eye and ideas which I’m so looking forward to seeing the results of. The sneak peek she sent us this week had me in tears and hit us right in the soul—can’t wait to see the rest of them! I cannot recommend her enough! Edit 6/7/17: As an aside—We found out my only living grandfather was diagnosed with lymphoma two weeks before our wedding, so as you can imagine, it was a very emotional time for us. We weren't sure if he and my only living grandmother would be able to attend. Michelle knew it was a priority for me to get pictures of them throughout the day and I'm confident she did it, and did it well. It will be priceless in the future to look back on those photos of them together, surrounded by their loving family. Just another positive to add to the experience!

We found Michelle based on a recommendation from Reddit and we could NOT be happier we took their advice to contact her. She is so talented and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does, which shows in her work. We booked her for an engagement photo session and were so thrilled with every single image she produced that we asked her to come with us to shoot on our elopement and the party back home afterwards. She made us feel so comfortable and at ease that we didn't even have to worry about 'acting natural'. Everything that she captured was so unique and different and exactly what we were looking for with our pictures. She managed to capture 'us' and was all around easy to work with while doing it! We don't have a single hesitation about recommending her for any event-- you'll regret it if you don't work with her!! Thanks, Michelle for being up for an adventure or two!
