LeMoi Boudoir by Michelle Carpenter Photography

e I even decided to work with her. The day of the shoot was an absolute blast and she made me feel so comfortable and confident. I would highly recommend her to anyone and hope I can use her again soon. Michelle is so talented and I absoutely loved my photos.

ble, confident and was an absolute blast to work with! I brought my sister with me and we feel like we made a new friend. Along with it being so much fun, she is an amazing photographer! Michelle was extremely helpful guiding me through the poses and making sure I looked and felt my best the entire time. The photos are absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier with the results. I will definitely be using Michelle for other photography needs! I can't wait to surprise my fiancé on our wedding day with this gorgeous album!

ith but they both got me laughing and feeling confident in no time. The shoot was so much fun and I left there feeling great about myself. I received the proofs in two weeks and was so impressed with their work. I can't wait for my fiancé to see his wedding gift!

table and sexy... we even had a few laughs. She is a great photographer. The photos came out even better than expected. If you are on the fence about hiring her for a session, you will not be disappointed. Do it!! I will certainly go again!

de me feel confident , strong, and beautiful. Originally I was apprehensive about doing the shoot, but I felt so good about myself that I would do it again! It was a great experience.

in maybe for our 1 year since paper is the theme!! If could give more that 5 STAR's I would!!

ous about my figure (it's not what it used to be in my 20s!) Michelle made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and sexy. She posed me in ways that highlighted my features and accentuated my good parts while hiding my cellulite. The pictures came out amazing. I am very happy with the work. I definitely recommend Michelle to anyone who wants to do a similar shoot-- she knows exactly what she's doing and what will look sexy. I felt like a model!

y radar but Michelle asked if I was interested and after some research (and thinking about how much my future husband would love it!) I decided to go for it. I was SO nervous the week leading up to the shoot but Michelle sent me a super helpful doc that answered all of my questions and more. During the session Michelle made me feel COMPLETELY comfortable. She joked around, demonstrated every pose, fixed my hair, complimentes me and kept reminding me how awesome I was and how much my fiancé was going to love these pictures. By the end of the shoot I was having so much fun I didn't want it to be over! Once my proofs came I was SO beyond happy that decided to go through with it. I am so excited to gift these to my fiancé but more importantly they were a gift to myself. I felt beautiful, sexy and proud... and those are not always natural feelings to have when you're staring at yourself in a bra and underwear. I feel so lucky to have found Michelle and could not be any more certain that she is the perfect photographer for me. I am literally counting down the days until my wedding (15!) and am so excited that she will be there to capture it all. If you are thinking about a boudoir shoot or are on the fence, my advice is to go for it!!! There really isnt a better beauty tip for your big day then to be confident and happy in your skim, and that is what I felt coming out of that shoot. THANK YOU MICHELLE!

r nerves were gone and we were having a great time. Michelle and Adam were so fun and professional. We all loved our images and are looking forward to giving our men our brag book. Michelle and Adam are definitely the duo to go to for boudoir! Thank you both!

one! They made it SO much fun and I had the pleasure of splitting my time with 2 of my best friends who were also getting married so it was extra fun. We didn't want to leave! I highly recommend Michelle to any brides to be wanting to surprise their significant other with a boudoir book, or to just go with friends for fun!

ng my photoshoot with Michelle and Adam. They make you feel super comfortable, and relaxed and my nerves went away instantly. It ended up being super fun, so much so that I wanted to do it again! It wasn't at all what I expected, they joke around and are so down to earth so it helps ease the nerves and capture wonderful photos. Also, they totally help boost your confidence, I walked out of their studio feeling like a million bucks. They also have so many beautiful options for displaying your photos... Mine are a gift to my fiancé so I choose a hard cover glossy paged book that is SO professional. At the end of the photoshoot I remember asking them "Are you sure I am even going to have 30 photos I am going to like" and they said "believe me you will, and you will have a hard time narrowing them down".. they were SO RIGHT. As any female I am critical of myself, but the photos came out so great that it took me days to figure out which ones I wanted to include in my book. I would highly recommend these two, they are the best in the business and I wish I could go through this process all over again- it was a blast. Cannot wait to give them to my fiancé !!

myself as well! Michelle and Adam made me feel so comfortable and it was actually fun! The pictures came out better than I could've imagined! I can't wait until my fiancée sees them! I would highly recommend Michelle and Adam to anyone considering a photographer!

oyfriend, but after finishing I wanted them for myself! It was an amazing feeling!

on and I wouldn't have wanted it to go any other way. She relaxes you, guides you and makes you feel so confident! The photos came out amazing! Thank you!

d fun to work with .. we really felt like they are our friends or part of the family ..thank you so much for the stunning pictures ..totally recommended you to any couple

flip flops and play dates and wasn't sure if I could pull this gift off. Michelle and Adam totally put me at ease and helped me get my sexy back!!! You don't need to be a model to end up with gorgeous pictures, they coached me on how to pose and the whole experience was fun and empowering! I felt like a million bucks after my session! I want to go back a do another one :). Thanks Michelle and Adam you guys are awesome!!!!

lothing selections to amazing album images. And on top of it, she's just a super cool and friendly person. I would definitely recommend her for any brides or bride-to-be!

moods too building the most amazing boudoir album for my husband, the whole experience was such a confidence builder! I felt so sexy yet very comfortable. Michelle was great at helping with relaxed posses while Adam was cracking jokes to keep me laughing and remind me this was fun! I loved it and will def do it again! Thank you Michelle and Adam!!!

g planning last Fall, we knew that the photo/video team we were looking for was a group that could completely be integrated into our family because our destination wedding was planned to be a week-long celebration and we wanted them to almost become part of the family. To me, other than the person I would be spending the rest of my life with, photos were THE most important aspect of our wedding- after the celebration, memories and photos would be all we were left with. When I first met Michelle and Adam, there was an immediate connection!!! Their personalities, their spirit, and most importantly their work was magnificent. After visiting with several talented photographers in the area, I didn't have to take any more time to decide who I wanted to shared this with and have capture our wedding. During the planning process many wedding surprises and events, including a secret ceremony, took place and Michelle and the team not only made themselves available and offered fantastic ideas, but they were incredibly discreet- a must during this time in our lives. During our time in Punta Cana, the MCP team was fun and professional, our entire family loved them and that was reflected in the photos taken throughout the wedding festivities! I can go on and on forever about how wonderful Michelle Carpenter Photography team is. They are professional, talented, creative, and incredibly fun! We have the most breathtaking photos from the most magical days of our lives and we are forever grateful to MCP for that. They now know, they are stuck with us for every special occasion/celebration for the rest of our lives!

s how amazing she is. Michelle exudes so much confidence that it's hard not to pick up on it. I was so nervous going in to the shoot but as the shoot went on I became more and more comfortable and confident! I always recommend Michelle to my friends. My husband was looking at my images just the other day commending Michelle on a job well done! The studio is beautiful and feels like home. If I could have printed all my images I would have. It was hard to pick a favorite! If you're thinking about it, just DO IT! and call Michelle - she'll ease the nerves and have you laughing, smiling and posing in no time. Your significant others will LOVE the images. Michelle is THE BEST!

ute i walked in she was a total sweetheart and i felt competely at ease. For the entire shoot she was professional, hugely helpful with posing me, made me laugh (which i so needed ! :D "Push out those sexy tatas!" LOL) and gave me an all around great experience. And i can't tell you how sexy those images came out. I couldn't believe it !!! Thank you so much Michelle !

o the shoot and, of course, during the shoot itself. She creates an atmosphere that is comfortable, fun, and sexy! I highly suggest that every bride allow herself this experience- I truly felt like a supermodel during my time with Michelle and am SO excited to surprise my groom with the gorgeous finished pictures on our wedding day.

bit more relaxed despite everything going on! Thank you for amazing photos and video- we are so grateful!!! xo Kara and Marquis

personality, she truly is the full package. Personally I tend to be a shy person, it can take alot for me to get comfortable and loosen up; especially for a boudoir session might I add! However, my experience couldn't have gone any better. Not only did she make me completely comfortable and at ease, I've truly never felt so confident. I'm extremely thankful to have been referred to Michelle, she is without a doubt the best of the best! I reccomend her 100 %.

anted a glass of champagne, we laid out all my outfits and started talking about my vision. She even steamed a few things for me to make it as perfect as possible. Her and Adam were so fun to work with, I was constantly laughing and felt so relaxed. I had so much fun! I left there feeling confident as ever, they made me feel so beautiful. I can't wait to show my fiance what a great job they did!

zing Michelle, Adam and Ali really made me feel comfortable relaxed and beautiful. I left feeling so confident and sexy which showed in my images and honestly Im not the sexy girl, Im more the silly one. My images were fabulous!!! there were so many proofs to choose from and honestly it was hard to pick. My husband LOVES them!! Thank you so much Michelle and Adam for such a fun experience. I will be back for more!

n and outgoing personality. She showed us some of her work and we new we needed to hire her for our wedding. Pictures are so important to me and I new Michelle would deliver exactly what I imagined for our wedding day. She ended up going above and beyond for us. She brought a second photographer, Adam, with her and we had such a great time with them both. Adam was able to stay with the guys before the wedding and Michelle stayed with me and my girls. They helped us loosen up taking some funny shots as well as formal and they came out perfect! We got married at an outdoor venue in Newport and they were able to capture the entire day in the most beautiful way! We are beyond happy with how our pictures came out and we would highly recommend them to all those future brides and grooms out there. If you want great picture choose Michelle carpenter photography.

were able to go with the flow and come up with great ideas. Upon first meeting them you can tell how passionate they are about taking photos.

r, I knew she was the right photographer for us. She was bright, cheerful, and most importantly, always made us feel comortable. From the engagement shoot to helping my mother and MOH tie my corset, she was more than a photographer. After the wedding, from what I have always heard, I thought we would only be liking a couple of photos. But boy were we wrong! They photos were all amazing!! So amazing that my dress designer even posted them! I have had multiple people ask who I had as a photographer because they love my photos. Not to mention, responses were always consistent and truthful. 100% Recommend the team, including Adam and videography!!

ectacular, and absolutely breath taking. They are talented, so nice and accommodating, and work so well together it's unbelieveable. Their work is breathtaking. I couldn't recommend anyone else to go to for flawless photography that stays with you forever on the most special day. Thank you Michelle and Adam!

ographers! Their great energy together and with our family and bridal party made taking pictures so much fun! They were everywhere yet blended seamlessly with the guests. When we saw our amazing photos we were just floored. They are so, so beautiful! We simply love our formal images of us at the Mansion, they truly are fine art which we have blown up on canvas for our walls. My husband and I highly recommend the both of them, and are looking forward to them capturing the rest of our family events!

such a fun and personable lady, she has a fabulous eye and a superb personality - it is a pleasure to have Michelle around on your wedding day and you will have the best photos/memories forever.

ut boy am I glad I did! The photos came out amazing and found her to be extremely professional and relaxing throughout the whole process. She even gave me champagne to have fun with it the shoot! I highly recommend Michelle for any photographer services.

us all on task while making sure we were getting the pictures taken that we needed during our break. We were even able to enjoy most of our cocktail hour which was our goal! We can not wait to see the pictures, and would recommend her to anyone that wants to have even more fun on their wedding day while capturing beautiful images!

also worked around the weather: our date was the coldest on record for newport, so a few of the photo ideas we had were just out. Michelle and Adam found even better locations for us. We were thrilled! What I really liked about working with them was that they captured our love without all the sap and traditional boring stuff. They got our jokes (barfbags as wedding programs) and even took a shine to our 10-year old dog / 'ring puppy', Mama. All weddings come with hiccups (that's just standard!) and we had a few for sure, but they handled them swiftly and elegantly. For that, we will be forever grateful. Not only did they get a lot of great shots, but Matty and I each feel we made new friends that day. Thanks, guys! Toasting you with rosé!

erything by just like everyone does, but I also knew that whoever I chose was going to be with myself, my husband and both our families all day long. To say I was stressing over it is an understatement :( We found Michelle through a friend of a friend and met with her at her studio. She immediately put as at ease and made us laugh and then began to walk us through what our day would be like (for photos) pointing out things and offering suggests on things we hadn't even thought of. After some discussion we booked her the next day! The day of our wedding Michelle and her partner were there bright and early and were with us every step of the way all day long (even overcoming some transportation issues and taking members of the bridal party in there own cars !) and everyone had a blast having them around. We received our images last week and it actually made me cry to get to relive the day over again ! They really captured the emotion and love and we'll always have those images anytime we want to relive our amazing day. Thank You Michelle ! We would recommend you to any of our friends or family getting married.

ked with. We had an absolutely stunning wedding in Newport, and Michelle and her team captured every perfect second of our special day beautifully. Michelle went above and beyond my expectations for the entire day, also before and after our wedding providing us with STUNNING "teaser" images just a few days later! She was on point all day, she made us laugh, and feel confident and beautiful with every picture and pose she set us up in. My husband would like to add that Adam was awesome ad well, capturing all of his getting ready images and giving him a beautiful shot of him and his father. Michelle and Adam went above and beyond for my family by taking individual family portraits of them after all of our formal shots were fished, I cannot begin to explain how much this meant to us. She made everything so personally and special all day. She took my husband and I out for a very romantic sunset photo. She gave us the pause we needed to enjoy and appreciate everything we were so lucky to have that day, it goes by so fast and we were so appreciative to have her tell us to just take a step back and look at all of the family and friends that came to celebrate our special day. I'd also like to add that she took the time to bustle my dress, (which sounds a lot easier than you'd think) unfortunately I had my dress special ordered and there were no bustle buttons sewn in, so she sewd my bustle into my dress like it was no problem! Michelle, Anthony and I are so grateful to have had you for our wedding day, and you and Adam truly made it that much more special for us. I highly recommend Michelle and her team to capture every perfect moment of your special day. We love you, and thank you so much again!

y is amazing and you just feel a sense of calm and happiness simply because you are around her. I couldn't have imagined having another individual photograph our wedding day. The images that we received were nothing short of amazing. She is truly an artist. Thank you for everything, Michelle!!

as calm, professional, and kept me at ease. She knew our venue very well and took us all over the grounds and mansion for the perfect shots. Our second photographer Renee was just as amazing as well! She started with the groom and groomsmen, so that was a challenge in itself! We were so fortunate to have Michelle capture our day, we can wait to relive every moment with her photos. I highly recommend this photographer!

capture the day. With a major time crunch, she graciously helped me into my dress and gave my bridesmaids and myself pointers when getting ready. Michelle has an amazing personality, and made everyone feel so comfortable while taking pictures. Our entire day was perfect, and we truly have Michelle Carpenter Photography & Main Event Weddings to thank for that!! I'd recommend Michelle and Bob to anyone in a heartbeat.

ur formal photos in a tight time frame but also got everyone to loosen up and have fun with it. We LOVE how our photos turned out. Michelle was also an extremely calming and warm presence to have by my side during the wedding - when my bustle broke before the reception, she was there with my bridesmaids fixing the mini-emergency. I highly recommend Michelle!

r wedding photo schedule so we didn't feel rushed and were able to capture all of those special moments. She was a calming presence the morning of the wedding as we got ready in the bridal suite while also having many laughs. She was even able to corral my groom and groomsmen the morning of the wedding to take pictures. They even said she was so much fun to work with and they didn't even know she was taking their picture. My bussel fell during the reception and she helped my girls quickly pin it up like nothing happened. The photos she captured reflect the spirit, coloring, emotions, and excitement of the wedding. She is a professional, fun, free spirit who will do everything she can to make your wedding day everything you ever dreamed of.

id the photos for my wedding at the Oceancliff Hotel on 03/23/2013, and she did such an amazing job, I can cry.Our friends and family can't stop talking about our photos. I look at my photos everyday. Thank you Michelle for giving me the fairytale photos I asked for. You are the best!!!!!!!!!! Marsha Green.

we met with Bob and Michelle from Main Event Weddings, we knew it would be amazing. I had seen their work (stalked their work as they like to say!) and always thought it was great that brides and grooms talk about how special they make you feel. But until October 7th, I don't think we could have dreamed how picture perfect our day would go because of Bob and Michelle. As soon as our planning started, both were there to help 100%. Michelle helped as my time-line planner and always kept us laughing. On the day of our engagement pictures, the weather was iffy and while I was in tears ruining my makeup, Michelle kept me stress free and smiling for the most gorgeous pictures we could have imagined. On the day of our wedding, words cannot express how thankful I am that we chose Michelle. You would think I was the only bride that she had in the entire year of 2012. Michelle and 2nd photographer Renee captured creative, fun, gorgeous pictures. Every day since October, someone else tells me that our wedding photos are the most beautiful they have ever seen. Michelle's creative eye captures things that I never knew were possible! She gets you into poses that you never thought you would look good in, and truly keeps you feeling loose and happy throughout all of it. I don't think words can describe how I feel when I look at our images from our wedding. Michelle was also amazing at keeping both families and bridal party laughing uncontrollably. Our parents didn't worry about a thing because they knew Michelle was in control of all aspects! Even more noteworthly of the amazing images that we have for a lifetime & and her one of a kind personality, we will never forget how Michelle legitimately saved the day. My dress had a slight malfunction and during awesome photos outside, I tried as hard as I could to act like it wasn't bothering me. Having gotten to know me as a person AND a bride, Michelle immediately said "let's go, I can tell your not yourself and your dress is bothering you". She brought me into the bathroom and not only used a needle and thread to fix my dress, but she cleaned it and dryed my wedding shoes from being outside in the rain. I didn't tug at my dress once during the reception. That is just Michelle being Michelle and that is why she is such much more than a photographer. Michelle knows how to make you feel like a princess on your wedding day, and she did exactly that. When you don't think you can cry anymore at your reception, she finds a way. And then, weeks after your wedding, she does it again when you see your final products. She and Bob truly become a part of your family and make your wedding day the most magical and special day of your lives.

was referred to me by another photographer I had met with who had already booked my day. That is when I truly think fate stepped in, someone knew I needed Michelle on my "big day". I know its hard to believe me when I say my wedding day was "stress free" but it was 100% stress free. I honestly have Michelle to thank. From beginning to end she was like the wedding planner I never had, going above and beyond - bustling my dress, lacing up the corset, ensuring I was happy with everything - making sure even my parents were okay. The slightest catch of our eyes and she was over making sure everything was perfect!! Michelle embodies fun, sexiness, and most of all professionalism all while capturing the most important images in a couples life. Her work captures the beginning of your life journey as a couple and she nailed my husband and I to a T. We gushed over our images for days after we received them and still look through our pictures in awe. She captured our personalities and love so perfectly it can not be described in words. I consider myself not very photogenic, as I think most people do, but I honestly still look at myself in those photos and say "wow thats me, I look beautiful" and she captured that. She made me feel like a princess and even got me to hone in on my inner sexiness. Michelle is now part of our family and I could not picture our lives without her. If you are looking for a photographer Michelle Carpenter is the way to go, hands down.
