Michelle Carpenter Photography

d her photo team (Cory and Adam wooo!) are amazing. When the days finally came they made the photo taking process so fun and exciting. Everything was perfect! Thank you!!! You need Michelle Carpenter Photography!

number of the photos we wanted were not there. Missed out on meaningful pictures..Didn’t take many shots of my husband and I first dance or walking down the aisle after the church ceremony. For what you pay her responsiveness is poor. Waited a very long time for our photos to be done -no sneak peaks. Furthermore I still do not have a wedding album, followed up numerous times. Now that’s it’s over a year and the wedding photos are over and paid for I guess she doesn’t find a need to respond to her previous clients.

t little details were not lost. My husband and I love each and every picture. We would 100% go with Michelle again for any special occasion.

tiful and we used those photos for our Save-The-Dates. For our wedding on November 2nd, 2019, we also hired Adam as our second photographer and Paul as videographer. Michelle and Adam were a great team! They are so knowledgeable and know exactly where to pose everyone to get the perfect lighting. It was such a quick turnaround time on the photos too! Perfect timing so I can even mail out our Thank Yous as holiday cards. We had such an amazing experience working with Michelle and her team and we would highly recommend them for your special day!

shots that we wanted to make sure were captured. It was also key for us to be able to enjoy our cocktail hour and have the majority of the the shots we needed completed by then, and they did a great job with timing during the entire day. The editing on the photos we received was fantastic. They made a cloudy, dreary day look beautiful. We are very pleased with how they turned out.

ible angle/pose/lighting is utilized for the greatest selection of photos after. We felt so stress-free with Michelle there and have the most beautiful pictures to remember our special day!

such as guiding me through the process of making an album for my family. However, I e-mailed Michelle 3 weeks ago asking if we could meet, via phone call or in person, to discuss album options (sizes, prices), and I STILL haven't heard back. During the planning process I found Michelle distant as well, never receiving a check in, etc. until two days before my wedding day. After the wedding, my husband and our families had to wait TEN WEEKS for our pictures (!!), and did not even get a "sneak peak." As for the pictures themselves, they were of high quality (not pixelated, very sharp), but many were, in my opinion, lacking in planning on her end. For example, in the only picture of my bridesmaids and I all together, one of their faces is blocked by another's. In BIG pictures (ie- my mom entering the bridal suite to help me get ready, etc), people are standing in the way of the shot (ie- my hair dresser), taking away from it tremendously. Also, I had asked specifically for several pictures to be focused on my parents; however, I don't have a single "print-worthy" picture of them together. Lastly, Michelle left before the wedding was over, missing the last song, during which my mom and I danced in the middle of a circle of all of our guests; therefore, the only picture I have of this cherished memory was taken from a friend's phone. We signed the contract for her to be present for the duration of the wedding. Don't get me wrong, Michelle took many great QUALITY pictures; however, I am NOT blown away at the pictures themselves, especially at that price. (Her assistant Adam; however, did a wonderful job photographing the groom and groomsman, which was his job for the day! These came out excellent- all men were visible in all of the pictures, at flattering angles, and with excellent attention to detail.) Like I said, I waited this long to post a review because I hoped her help afterwards could redeem what was lacking; however, that was not the case.

y gorgeous pictures to choose from for our wedding album! We are absolutely thrilled!! Michelle was also easy to work with throughout the wedding planning process and very responsive to our emails. She's fun and energetic which put us at ease on our wedding day. Choosing her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding!

like photographing on a small boat!

rther than one review could ever express. THANK YOU.

shoot, which resulted in beautiful images. On the day of the wedding Michelle was organized, professional and knew just what to say to clam my nerves. She did a great job of quickly organizing family and wedding party pictures so that we could get back to partying! I highly recommend Michelle and her team and would love to return to her studio for future shoots!!

tail. Even though the storms came rolling in right after our ceremony, they let us embrace pictures on the beach and captured some of the coolest storm clouds in the background. They were able to direct our group while keeping an eye on the storms and timing our entrance back inside perfectly. The skies released the very minute we got back inside. Our pictures are just so beautiful and filled with emotion. Thank you so much for capturing our memories better than we had envisioned.

r any wedding. They took every single photo we wanted. Thank you for everything! Number One in my book!!!

us feel so comfortable. We met Michelle a few times to plan the wedding and she captured great pictures for our engagement session. The day of the wedding, I was so stressed out and Michelle was a calming presence. Michelle was right by my side resolving all the issues that came up, like when one of the bridesmaid dress malfunctioned she came to the rescue to fix it... Adam was great with the groom and groomsmen capturing the crazy excitement that they had. Our entire wedding party (all 14 of them!) were impressed by the professionalism and talent Michelle and her team had and I could not be more thankful for the pictures I have to remember the day.

em originally because my friends had amazing photos done by them, receiving way more in regards to managing the flow between her team and another vendor for videography to efficiently capture everything on our day. To things that are just above and beyond what she even needed to do. She was so nice, so calming, so professional. She was there to make me laugh and they to help me keep it together. The poor women even noticed my feet were dirty after walking on the beach and got a cloth and washed my feet. If that’s not above and beyond I don’t know what is. By far one of he best decisions we made and we are so happy. Thank you Michelle and Adam!! ❤️❤️

ty (including our moms) and capture such beautiful images. Any LGBT couples looking for an amazing team you've found them! They made our entire bridal party feel so comfortable and fabulous in front of the camera, even my wife who 'hates having her picture taken.' They both went above and beyond to get the perfect shots including hoisting us up on rocks and stopping traffic. They made us fell so incredibly comfortable and even accommodated some special requests we had for shots with my wife's cruiser. During our ceremony and reception Michelle and Adam were like photography ninjas sneaking in capturing the most touching beautiful candid moments. We give them our highest recommendation to any couple looking for a stellar photography team. They are not only amazing photographers but also amazing people!

ed and more! She helped make me feel super comfortable with her down to earth personality and fun loving attitude. Not to mention we had to reschedule our shoot three times due to weather and she worked with us every step of the way! If our engagement session was this amazing I cannot wait to see what the wedding holds !!!

recommend booking michelle for your wedding!!

phers were able to take the same pictures but from different vantage points and perspectives. Our pictures were taken at second beach in Middletown. We are so happy with them and had a blast with Michelle and Adam! This just made us even more excited for our wedding day!!!

May & can't wait for Michelle to capture my special day. My fiance & I just had our engagement session and we were beyond happy with the outcome and couldn't believe Michelle's eye for amazing photos or her willingness to go along with our crazy ideas!! (We even challenged her by bringing our 2 year old & throwing him into the mix of our pictures and she didn't miss a beat! She was SO good with him!) If you want the best photographer around the choice is simple...you HAVE to go with Michelle!

m shoot you. They make you feel so comfortable, and they are very efficient at what they do. True pros!! We got more amazing images than I even know what to do with. I told my husband that we're going to need to wallpaper a room in our house just so we could use all the amazing photos we ended up with. You will not find better wedding photographers! LOVE THEM!!!

who we are as a couple. We can't wait to see how beautiful our wedding photos will be, very excited! Robin M.

was gorgeous! Michelle knew how to make my groom and I feel comfortable so that the pictures looked natural. She knew the best angles and captured us on the grounds of the venue in a way only a trained and skilled photographer could!

ngle of every moment of our wedding while keeping the group laughing (which is not an easy task)!! We were so happy to have them apart of our wedding day! Thank you!!

able right off the bat, she was funny and just knew what to say to make you feel good about yourself. I think all woman should have this done, it made me have confidence in myself no matter what size you are. I absolutely love all the photos and will have a hard time picking my favorites. Thanks Michelle for an awesome time you rock. I will definitely do it again.

see how our wedding photos come out. Everyone loved our save the dates, they were romantic, fun and a true reflection of us.

! Michelle and her husband are a great team and make you feel comfortable and sexy and I am so glad that I did this shoot with them!! My photos came out AMAZING and it made me feel amazing too!! She has great ideas, she is fun energetic and they will make you laugh and have fun during your shoot. I highly recommend them to anyone and I will use her again in the future!!!

ldn't be happier! We love Michelle's creative style and somehow she managed to get all our "good" sides! We cannot wait to see how wonderful our wedding photos come out less than a year away!

g yourself an injustice if you do not give them a look. Our photos came back recently, and they were nothing short of amazing. We really hope to work with Michelle and Adam again one day in the future. Much love guys!

ule and still made me feel special throughout the entire process! Stripping down felt awkward for me at first, but all of my nerves dissolved with Michelle and Adam's professionalism and passion for their work. I kept asking, "Is that me in that photo?" Thanks again Michelle and Adam!! Your work is beautiful.

comfortable and had us laughing the entire time. We are so excited for our wedding and couldn't be happier that we chose them!

bt talented, but lacked the charisma, style, and personality I was looking for. MCP came recommended to me by my bridesmaid who knew someone who hired MCP for their wedding. After meeting with Michelle and seeing her energy and passion, I knew she had to be a part of my wedding! On wedding day, Michelle and Adam did more than I could have ever asked for. They were wonderful with directing people for group photos, suggesting poses and places around the venue to shoot, and doing it all with smiles and laughs even though it was 90 degrees and humid! I could not have imagined having another photographer by my side as I was getting ready for my wedding- she helped calm my nerves and reassure me that everything was going to be PERFECT, which it was!- She also made an extra boutonnière when one was missing - she bustled my dress - and more than all that, Michelle and Adam became friends of ours in the process. My husband and I absolutely adore them both and their work, and HIGHLY recommend Michelle Carpenter Photography to anyone! Thank you again, MCP, for making memories with us!

ust got our wedding photos back and can't stop looking at them—they are so beautiful! I would highly recommend her!

or the shoot she connected with me on Pinterest and was able to see my “Engagement Photo” board. She knew exactly what I was looking for and made sure she got the shots I wanted. She took her time photographing us and made us both feel very comfortable. We felt like we were able to get to know her and her style during the session. Now we know exactly what to expect on the day of our wedding. We are so excited for the big day and we’re looking forward to working with Michelle and seeing the images she will capture for us!

love. never met either of them until the wedding day since my husband and I lived out of state and they were so great!! they made us feel so comfortable and had us smiling and laughing the entire time! The best part of all , we just received our pictures and could not be happier they are amazing better then expected I can't even believe how amazing they came out and how many great shots they got of us the venue our flowers and the guests. everything is absolutely perfect. Michelle and Adam are the best!!

ng. We are both pretty shy and somewhat introverted, but they really helped us relax and have a good time and they were very creative in finding ways to put us a ease and pull the best out of us! The best part was that they chose a fantastic beach setting for our engagement session and did a fantastic job using the scenery and setting up the shots. We are really looking forward to working with Michelle and Adam at our wedding and seeing our story through their photographic eyes.

he was so helpful in helping us coordinate my day of timeline and making sure we got all the shots we wanted. On top of being so organized they were able to help my husband and I relax in the craziness of our wedding day. Even our families have commented on how great they were! We love our wedding photos and would recommend them to any RI bride.

ctures we wanted and she did a FANTASTIC job capturing the images we wanted. The only problem is trying to pick our favorites ones! They are all incredible shots and we are really looking forward to seeing what she will do for the really big day coming up soon!

someone who could create images of our wedding events that would transcend time and radiate a blend of our personalities. We wanted a photographer who is not only a technical genius, but an artist with a keen understanding of natural light's magical powers. Michelle delivers on both accounts and more. Her professionalism and expertise mixed with her spunky personality made us feel perfectly at ease throughout our engagement shoot. She was enthusiastic about every idea we had and was excited to spend time with us for our engagement quickie shoot despite her busy schedule at the start of peak wedding season. We had an absolute blast and can't wait for Michelle and Adam to shoot our wedding!

details of our big day. We couldn't be happier.

eally care for the way I look in photos. All of the images came out so beautiful. I can't wait to have her photograph our wedding!

erfect mix of professionalism and comfortable nature. I knew then that I wanted Michelle as my photographer. When the time came, Michelle remembered me right away and took extreme care in understanding my unique vision for the day. I'm having a New Year's Eve wedding and mentioned that I was sad about the venue not allowing confetti or sparklers. Right away she suggested we do those things at the engagement shoot! What an amazing idea?! During the engagement shoot she made us both feel so comfortable, laughing the whole time and got the most amazing shots. I can't say thank you enough and I am BEYOND excited for our wedding. Michelle is an artist and has such a keen sense of what works. Most importantly she is FUN! And for someone who is following you around for 10 hours on the most important day of your life, I'd say that's a pretty important quality.

ized that Russ and I would be better suited for an outdoor shoot and she flexed to our style on the spot. She was super easy to talk to and put Russ and I at ease in no time. It was a fun hour of both posed and candid shots- the only hard part was choosing which ones to order! Her website is easy to use and her process is seamless. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a fun, sassy, tell-it-like-it-is set of images to last a lifetime. Can’t wait for her to do our wedding shoot some day!!
