I've known Heather for about ten years, where we met in undergrad. So I know I can depend on her to take her pictures to the next level, and she didn't disappoint! Heather, located...
in Richmond and willingly traveled to Fincastle (outside of Roanoke, VA) for my wedding. She was very prompt about communicating to me about her departure, when they would arrive and all the above! Heather and her husband Ben are an amazing duo, and everyone at my wedding loved them because they were such personal and amazing people! They fit right in! On a personal note, heather is not only a photographer on your wedding day, but she is your friend and created an environment that was "a calm to my storm" when things weren't going the way I wanted them to go. We love you guys so much! Client ( & friend) for life.
Heather was amazing to work with! She came in early and stayed late. My husband and I are extremely goofy and she was able to get us to relax and capture some of our best moments. ...
I highly recommend Heather is you are in the RVA or surrounding area!

I was so nervous when picking the photographer for my wedding. I realize now, that I shouldn't have been!
Heather was so kind and the absolute best wedding photographer that we c...
ould have asked for. She has such a warm and welcoming personality that anyone can talk to her and feel like an old friend.
I've heard other wedding stories how the photographer would spend hours taking pictures of the two wedding parties and families; well, not for us! Heather made the picture taking feel like 30 minutes because they were so quick and fun to take.
My wedding was at night, so it was pitch black outside. Heather extended her professionalism by taking beautiful night time photos, as well as what she could during the day light. I absolutely adore all the photos that she took, but my favorites were the ones that were taken in the dark.
I absolutely recommend Heather as your photographer; she really knows how to make a person feel at ease on such a stressful day!
Heather Michelle Photography is top notch. You can tell she really loves what she does. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out amazing! Heather makes you feel comfortable and...

Heather was amazing to work with from start to finish! She took the time to meet with us in person to get to know who we were as a couple and what we needed to make both our engage...
ment and wedding pictures gorgeous and extremely special. Her attention to planning and detail satisfied my need to know that everything was ready to go on our wedding day and she was beyond professional every step of the way.
When hiccups naturally happened on our big day she rolled with the punches (and a crunched timeline) to ensure that she captured every beautiful moment - all while remaining calm and reassuring. She gave us hundreds upon hundreds of winning photographs and even now, one year later, I still can't decided which ones are my favorites.
Our videographer pulled out last minute, and knowing this she made sure to capture as much as she could during the ceremony that might normally have been missed by another photographer. Additionally, she worked around our family's strict expectations for how much the photographer should be seen (with tact and grace).
She was reliable, organized, easy to reach, affordable, talented and most importantly so fun to work with! Hiring Heather was 100% one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding.
Heather was everything we wanted in a photographer. She made us feel truly comfortable during all of our photos, and we are so happy with the result. Heather did both our engagemen...
t session and wedding photos, and we are so lucky to have all of our gorgeous photos to keep. We liked that Heather provided a backup photographer for our Wedding Day, to ensure that all our special moments were captured. We are also happy that we are able to keep digital copies of all of our photos, and use them how we want. We definitely plan to keep Heather as our photographer, and would recommend her to anyone!
Heather is amazing! She’s super personable And always only wants the very best for you anything that you request of her she will do. she was by far one of my favorite photographer...
s to work with I found her by luck of the draw and she even offered to bring an extra photographer for the same price that I already paid for. My pictures got back to me super quick and I was beyond amazed at the quality of the pictures and how many she gave me.I would recommend her to anybody that was in need of her tr I would recommend her to anybody that was in need of a photographer. Thank you so much Heather for making my day is super special and remembering all the memories that it came with!
Heather did a great job with our engagement and wedding photos. She has a great eye for backgrounds and lighting, and she got our photos edited and returned to us very quickly. Mos...
t importantly, she made me feel very comfortable through the whole process, from walking us through various poses to taking my elderly family members' mobility concerns into account when staging family photos. I would highly recommend her!
I cannot say enough about Heather and how she truly goes the extra mile for her clients. Actually they aren't clients to her....she treats you like family! She got some really grea...
t shots and captured every moment. From the time she showed up I felt completely at ease with Heather. She really takes the time to LISTEN and get to know you...your likes...your dislikes and everything in between and super creative. I would 100% recommend Heather Michelle Photography. She was professional and very reasonable on rates. She worked to customize a package that worked for us.
Heather was amazing!!! I loved every picture she took!!
Heather is energetic, kind and attentive. She always finds to make things better.
I loved having Heather as our photographer she was so fun and really captured our day so wonderfully. She even traveled from VA to NJ/PA just to take our engagement photos. She i...
s so great at what she does and is very helpful too. I can't imagine anyone else taking our photos! If we lived closer we would do so many more sessions with her!
Heather's pictures from our wedding and engagement shoot are exactly what we wanted and more! Heather took the time to get to know us as a couple to make sure our personality came ...
out in our photos. She geeked out with us, and she made sure we were comfortable in front of the camera. We had a blast taking our photos, and she had so many creative ideas. Nothing was ever uncomfortable. It was easy to forget the camera was there because she was so good at being involved instead of just being someone behind the camera!
