We discovered Michaela Anne Photography on Facebook and feel incredibly lucky she was available for our wedding date. From our very first conversation, her communication was flawless — fast, thoughtful, and always helpful. One of the most valuable things she did was help us fine-tune our wedding day timeline. She knew exactly what we needed, even when we didn’t, and her support took so much stress off our shoulders.
She worked so well with our wild and wonderful family — staying calm, kind, and in control through all the chaos. Throughout the day, she adapted seamlessly and somehow managed to keep us perfectly on track without ever being pushy. Her presence was such a calming, positive influence.
We originally booked Michaela because we were drawn to her natural editing style and the beautiful, authentic look of her photos. And let me tell you — she completely blew us away. The photos are stunning: full of emotion and detail, capturing everything we hoped for. She delivered on every promise and then some.
Truly, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. If you’re lucky enough to snag her for your date, do it — you won’t regret it.

Michaela was seriously one of the best parts about our wedding day. Quick and organized, she made our photo-taking so easy. Everyone felt at ease and she was so focused on making sure our wedding went exactly how we wanted it to. The moment we met her for our engagement photos we knew she was the photographer for us. Will definitely be using her for future photo shoots !!!!

We were trying to get married in 6 months and needed a photographer fast. Here stepped in Michaela Anna Photography. We emailed her on a Sunday asking for her availability. We did not expect a reply for at least a couple days, but she responded to us later than evening! The other photographers we had reached out to were much less responsive, which made Micahel’s responsiveness stand out even more! This responsiveness and promptness continued throughout our time with Michaela that had us feeling informed, secure, and cared for. We had a lengthy list of questions for Michaela as well as we started working with her, but she answered each one promptly and in such detail that we instantly felt great confidence in her abilities. The follow up meetings bolstered this perception as our zoom meetings with her were very organized and we could tell she took good notes. Michaela had a preset approach to get the conversation going which gave us insight into how she conducted her work, and she adjusted and shaped it to meet our expectations and things we wanted out of a photoshoot. Included in our package with Michaela was an engagement shoot. This was the first time we had spent any lengthy time in front of a camera so focused on us, but Michaela made the whole experience fun and light with her personality which made the process feel like a collaboration with a good friend, shedding us of the awkwardness and uncertainty. All the while, she consistently demonstrated her professionalism with creative and varied positions for the photoshoots that had us looking our best and highlighting our personalities.
Michaela was even more amazing on the actual wedding day which had a steeper list of demands than even the engagement shoot. A second shooter (Aponi) worked with the groom while Michaela worked with the bride. Between the two, they captured beautiful and special getting-ready pictures, first-touch pictures, detail photos of the attire and rings—everything for us to remember and look back on for years to come.
On this day, we had a long and detailed list of pictures we wanted which we did supply to Michaela ahead of time. A series of pictures were to be captured at the church where we were married, with more to follow at the reception venue about 15 minutes down the road. It required wrangling and coordinating photos with 30+ family members. But Michaela was undaunted. She worked efficiently to capture all the family portraits we had detailed for her in the list to be captured at the church. Michaela always kept things moving along and checked in with us at regular intervals, both to make sure we were good on time and to make sure we were getting what we asked for. The same efficiency, care, and professionalism continued at the reception venue where we took pictures outside during cocktail hour. Michaela followed us throughout the rest of the day, capturing our grand entrance, speeches, cake cutting, first dances, and more!
Furthermore, there was a quick turnaround time on receiving photos from Michaela. Pictures from the engagement shoot (approximately 70 photos) were provided 10 days afterward, and the wedding photos (approximately 800 photos) were provided in just under 6 weeks. We were very pleased with the quality and timeliness of her final product.
We highly recommend Michaela for your photography needs, and we plan to contract her again in the future.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Michaela! From the start, she was incredibly communicative and professional, always making sure we were on the same page. Neither of me and new husband are comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us feel completely at ease, which really shows in the photos. Our theme we was black and white and somehow she made those colors POP.
Despite running behind schedule on the big day, she handled everything with grace and flexibility, making sure we still got all the important shots. She also managed to navigate the chaos of guests wanting their own pictures with patience and a calm demeanor, ensuring everyone felt included without compromising her work.
Her talent and professionalism exceeded all our expectations, and we would absolutely love to work with her again. If you’re looking for a photographer who is skilled, kind, and adaptable then Michaela is the perfect choice!

My husband and I cannot recommend Michaela enough! Michaela was especially great about suggesting shots and poses she knew would be the most flattering while still accommodating our ideas and preferences. We were also very impressed by the seamless way she moved through the ceremony and reception, capturing every special moment without us even noticing. We elected to do an engagement photoshoot with her as well, and highly recommend doing that to make the wedding day feel more natural. We really appreciated Michaela’s flexibility as we scheduled the engagement shoot as bad weather canceled our plans more than once. The pictures from both the engagement shoot and the wedding day turned out amazing and we are so happy with Michaela’s work! Overall, Michaela was extremely professional, communicative, fun, and went the extra mile to make our day as smooth as possible!

Michaela is an amazing photographer! She eased our awkwardness and helped organize people the day of our wedding. She took beautiful photos that we will treasure forever! There was also an engagement shoot included in our package, and upon meeting her we thought instantly she was warm, welcoming and kind. She knew exactly how to direct us even though we've never had professional photos done before. She was extremely flexible and went over our game plan multiple times which put us at ease. She was willing to go wherever we needed. We cannot say enough good things about her photography, but the photos speak for themselves! Thank you for helping us capture our day forever ❤️

Michaela is so easy to work with. She is more than willing to help you through the photography process and orchestrate any pose you want. She is very creative and is great at editing as well! We have her as a family photographer she’s done sessions from engagement, maternity, newborn photos, boudoir, our wedding, and most recently our family photos! She is truly an incredible photographer and is so great at all that she does. She also gets the photos back to you quickly which of course is amazing! Michaela is more than willing to come to you as well, or compromise on location, which is extremely helpful. She is also fairly priced too!
I will not go to another photographer! We love Michaela Anne Photography!

I cannot recommend Michaela enough! She is a talented photographer and really captures your special day in a beautiful way. Both my husband and I are not generally comfortable in front of the camera, but Michaela was wonderful at helping us be ourselves and the photos came out so nice. She even offered emotional support during a crazy day!

I was looking for a photographer very last minute and within a decently tight budget. Michaela was able to not only get back to me very fast but also offer an exceptional service at an afordable price! She was so good with the little ones at my wedding and was also very good about wrangling a group of people all at once. Her unique poses and perspective really helped make my special day shine.
