About this vendor
Wedding photographer for detail-oriented couples that want to show their best, truest & most authentic selves on their big day.
Photography is one of the most important things to plan on your wedding day. Who you choose as your wedding photographer will impact your wedding day experience. You will look your best when you feel your best with your photographer.
My career is centered around holding a camera, but more importantly, seeing what my clients see, feeling what my clients feel and capturing those emotions and memories to the best of my ability. At every wedding I strive to exceed my client's expectations. It's more than just “snapping photos”. Photographing weddings is an art.
With over 8 years in business, I bring a calm confidence to the planning process, a fun "love for life" to your photography images and excellent service throughout your entire experience.
I'm excited to meet you!

t for the first time in person and my fiancé and I both felt like we've known her for years. She was so fun to be around and we both cannot wait for her to photograph our wedding! Thank you Michelle!!!!
Michelle has been amazing to work with so far! As a busy bride, I appreciate her responsiveness and punctuality. She's quick to respond to all our questions through email, as well ...
as getting us our photos back. She's even made a few great recommendations for additional vendors. Additionally, having a formal photograph taken isn't always the most natural thing in the world Michelle was great at calming any nerves, which in turn made our photos perfect. She managed to capture moment's that were not staged, which turn out to be the best photos!
Michelle was an absolute rockstar photographer on our wedding day! She worked with our boisterous group, worked with our timelines and still managed to get all of the photos we wan...
ted. She did all of this with an outgoing personality, a smile and her face and not to mention the photos turned out amazing.
I would recommend Michelle to anyone who wants great pictures and someone that is very easy to work with!
Very thoughtful, helpful & reliable!
Michelle was a blessing. After searching for a photographer became a nightmare, I stumbled upon her name. From the moment I contacted her thr...
ough the day of our wedding, I knew we had made the right choice.
I was not your typical bride when it came to knowledge on anything related to a wedding. She turned a stressful experience into a effortless one. She is very easy to work with and I never felt like I couldn’t depend on her. We were very happy with her work sand would happily recommend her!
Michelle is literally a treat every time I work with her. She's been my go-to photographer for my business and blog for years, so it only made sense that when it came time to get m...
arried, she was the only photographer I wanted for the job! She perfectly understood the vision we wanted for both our engagement photos and our wedding day. We wanted quirky, non-traditional, but elegant. Michelle made sure we stayed organized, but had a blast the whole time! She made everyone so comfortable and feel like they've always known her! We ended up having our outdoor wedding/wedding photos during a HEAT ADVISORY! Yikes! But Michelle was there keeping everyone calm, making us look great, and making sure we stayed cool! Beyond highly recommended!
Michelle was absolutely wonderful to work with for our May 2017 wedding in Virginia Beach. Even before the wedding, she was incredibly organized, responsive, and communicative, giv...
ing suggestions and helping guide us through what we wanted in our wedding photos, and bringing our ideas to life. She helped make our wedding day an absolute breeze, and gave us beautiful images to treasure forever. My husband generally dislikes having his photo taken, and doesn’t typically like looking at the photos that are taken of him. But after working with Michelle, he had nothing but wonderful things to say about her, and more importantly, he actually likes the photos of himself from our wedding day—a huge accomplishment! Her calm demeanor, organization, creativity, and fun-loving spirit were exactly what we needed in the midst of all the normal nerves that come with getting married. I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous about how our photos might turn out, as we had to move our ceremony indoors because it was downpouring on our wedding day, so we couldn’t go outside to get those beach shots we had originally planned for (thanks, Mother Nature). But even with this, Michelle had already scouted out the venue ahead of time just in case, finding lovely little spots to take indoor shots, and she captured some of the most beautiful images—among them some stunning photos of us standing in front of floor to ceiling windows, with the rain pounding against the windows and swirling around on the beach behind us. My photos are perfect. They capture our love, they capture the fun of the day, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for any photo needs.
Before we even booked with Michelle, she was absolutely amazing. Always prompt and very thorough with communication. Upon meeting with her, we felt that she would not only share ou...
r vision for our wedding and photos, but also provide us with her professional insight. Our engagement session, while not ideal in terms of temperature (I think it was 3 degrees that day) was fantastic. The entire time Michelle gave us tips and helped to ease our nerves. She was extremely accommodating and helped us get the shots we really wanted. The photos from this session were edited and delivered very quickly and they were amazing! Once the wedding planning went in to high gear, Michelle was a constant source of information and ideas. She basically planned our day! Michelle literally walked us through everything from taking our photos to cutting the cake...and our photos are absolutely amazing!!! We can't possibly speak high enough of her talent and professionalism. Everything was perfect and we will most certainly reach out to her again for future photography needs!
Michelle is amazing to work with! My husband and I used her for our engagement photos, as well as, for our wedding! She's a joy to work with, as she really listens to what you are ...
looking for. She is open to traveling and tries her best to accommodate the couple to suit their needs. She is very personable and treats you as a friend, not like a business deal.
She is passionate about her work and wants to provide beautiful, quality photos! I would recommend her to anyone and would love to work with her again in the future!
To see some of her work from my personal experience, I have posted engagement photos and have also shared the link to my wedding photos on my wedding website. Feel free to take a look! :)

Short Story: Michelle gave us a fantastic set of photos to remember our day by. She gave a really unique perspective to our wedding that made our pictures look classy and sophisti...
cated while still feeling playful and fun. She made everything easy and was a blast to work with!
Even before our big day, our engagement pictures were a big hit and we used them at the wedding and for our first Christmas cards!
Long Story: My husband (then fiance) and I were having a hard time trying to pick a photographer for our wedding because we lived in Indiana and our wedding was going to be in NJ. We were in a pickle because we knew Michelle Cox through friends and family and we knew she was a fantastic photographer and there was no doubt we would have wanted her to do our wedding pictures if we were tying the knot in Indiana. Not knowing what she would say, we asked Michelle if she would be willing to travel with us to NJ for our big day. She agreed right away and it worked out better than I could have imagined!
Michelle is just starting out but she as a lot of fun to work with.And she is very accommodating. I loved her fun style and all of my pictures turn out wonderful.
