Michelle was amazing to work with from start to finish. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot, was responsive with all questions and was such a calming presen...
ce on wedding day. Michelle is a total professional and was so organized with our shot list / details, even our venue commented on how great she was. On top of that, the pictures are incredible! I can't recommend her enough.
I am so late to write this over a year after our wedding but Michelle was truly fantastic and I want her to be there to capture every big moment for the rest of my life. From the d...
etail shots to the dance floor, our photo gallery captured every special moment from our big day. Our bridal portraits are so beautiful they could be stock photos in picture frames. No request was impossible (including large group shots of extended family). I cannot sing her praises enough!
We cannot say enough great words about Michelle! She just shot our wedding in early June and also engagement photos last summer. The engagement photos were great and definitely he...
lped us get comfortable in front of the camera for our wedding day. As our wedding day was approaching, Michelle helped us come up with a detailed timeline for the day and asked our preferences for any photos we wanted. A few days before, we realized our dream of an outdoor wedding wasn't going to happen and we needed to move our ceremony inside. Michelle was integral in not only helping us change our plan up last minute but also keeping us calm! It was so nice to have her there for us! She really captured the Cape Cod esthetic we were looking for in our photos and they all turned out great! Definitely recommend!
I don’t have enough words to express my love, gratitude and absolute appreciation for Michelle. My (now) fiancé booked Michelle to capture our engagement. He proposed to me while s...
ailing and believe it or not, Michelle was hidden IN the boat to later pop out and capture THE moment. Michelle’s photos came out INCREDIBLE.
In terms of follow up, Michelle sent us photos later that night so we could see some of the highlights. It was so special to be able to see some of the photos day-off to share with family and friends. I really appreciated how communicative Michelle was over text and email. It made the whole process of sharing photos seamless!
If you’re considering booking Michelle for an engagement shoot or for your wedding, take this as a sign to do it. She’s more than a vendor — her thoughtfulness and consideration for her clients are completely unmatched and her photos are ones we will cherish forever.
Words can't describe how incredible it was to have Michelle as our wedding photographer!! She took the time to get to know us on an initial call, and when we had our engagement pho...
to session she instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and the photos were absolutely stunning. Leading up to our wedding day she was super helpful in providing answers to questions and had a detailed timeline which was extremely helpful for overall coordination. She also traveled to the North Shore to see our venue since it was her first time shooting there, which we greatly appreciated.
On our wedding day it was pouring rain as we were planning to do first look outside and Michelle came up with a plan B (and plan C), thinking quickly and remaining completely calm and relaxed. The sky ended up clearing up and we went back to the original plan, which Michelle orchestrated perfectly despite all the last minute switching based on weather.
Michelle kept us on the timeline and we felt like we got all of the photos (both candid and formals) without missing out on dancing time at our wedding. She has such a positive attitude and made everyone so comfortable in front of the camera. Michelle sent over sneak peeks so quickly and we are in love with them! She is beyond talented and we are so lucky to know Michelle and have had her photograph our wedding, would highly recommend!
I’ve been sitting at the keyboard for days now trying to figure out how to adequately articulate how invaluable Michelle is. Let me start off by saying I did not purchase the most ...
expensive package, but you would have never known that based on Michelle’s professionalism, sincerity, and overall good vibes.
The pictures speak for themselves. Breathtakingly stunning use of color and lighting while still maintaining natural beauty. There is something so heartwarming about the way she captures your most genuine and beautiful self. She captures the small moments. The moments when your new spouse tells you how beautiful you look and you can’t help but smile. The moments you’ll remember again when you look back on each picture. The moments that make you remember your wedding day as if it was yesterday.
But even beyond her stunning work, Michelle is the friend you didn’t know you needed from the initial consultation. Genuinely friendly and warm, she immediately makes you feel comfortable and as if you’d been friends since middle school. She was the person you felt comfortable asking your questions to. I sent her emails about what colors would work together for flowers and bridesmaid dresses, other emails about day of questions; she answered each email promptly and with sincerity. A large part of me is sad I don’t have an excuse to email her anymore, but knowing Michelle, upon reading this review, will send me an email telling me I can email her anytime about anything (and she would mean it)!
Lastly, let me express my gratitude for her professionalism. She sets realistic expectations and gives real guidance on how to make your wedding day special and efficient simultaneously. We have more than enough photos to last a lifetime and my husband and I still had time to relax during cocktail hour knowing all of the photos we wanted were taken.
I think you can tell that I could go on for days with nothing but praise, but I will end with one more thought.
After all of the stress, drama, and whirlwind of your wedding day has passed, Michelle’s pictures remind you why it was all worth it and that your new life together with your partner beings in stunning beauty.
We cannot say enough great things about our experiences with Michelle Dunham Photography! Michelle photographed our engagement session in December 2021 and our wedding in August 20...
22. Michelle and her team were professional, personable, and an absolute joy to work with! Our photos from both sessions are absolutely stunning, and we will treasure the memories of these moments forever! We highly recommend Michelle Dunham Photography to capture the beauty of all of life’s big moments!
We had the pleasure of Michelle doing both our engagement and wedding photos. My husband and I are what you would consider "camera shy." Michelle was able to loosen us up and keep ...
us relaxed and got us some amazing shots!! At the wedding we really wanted to focus more on experiencing the day - Michelle totally followed our lead and was able to capture all of our special moments while still allowing us to really enjoy today! Not to mention - it was raining and she still made the day awesome!! I would absolutely recommend booking Michelle!
1,000,00/5 stars. I could write a novel about how much we love Michelle. We connected from the start and booked her via a phone call in 2020. As we planned our wedding over 2 year...
s, Michelle made herself available for questions and advice far beyond photography. She helped us timeline our day, providing us with such relief and ability to enjoy the day knowing we were in good hands. She is so personable, kind and FUN. I couldn’t wait for her to arrive at the house while we were getting ready! Not only did we connect with her quickly, our family and wedding guests loved her. Her work is as incredible as she is - she captured the beauty of our day perfectly (judging with total confidence from just our sneak peeks). If you have a chance to work with Michelle, I promise you will not regret it.
We were so grateful to have Michelle as our wedding photographer. She is so well organized and kept the whole day on schedule for us! As someone who does not like getting their pho...
to taken, Michelle did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and making it an enjoyable experience. And to top it all off, everyone who was part of our day was thrilled with the final photos we received. Would recommend Michelle to everyone!
If I had to describe Michelle Dunham in one word it would be PHENOMENAL. We were lucky enough to be introduced to Michelle by two of our good friends who also used her for their we...
dding. We reached out to her and arranged a quick meet up to get to know Michelle before we did our engagement shoot. Immediately we felt as if we knew Michelle for years. She is professional, kind and above all else truly gets to know you as a couple and ensures that she captures that in her images. She makes you feel so extremely comfortable when shooting with her and as a result, we found our pictures to truly represent us as a couple. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and when rescheduling our date, we had one requirement - Michelle had to be available. We did not want to have our wedding without her as our photographer. Michelle is an amazing photographer and person and the second thing we say to recently engaged couples that we know after congratulations is “use Michelle Dunham.” We feel so lucky to not only call Michelle our wedding photographer but now our friend. Her work speaks for itself but Michelle is the best of the best and we would recommend her to anybody!
Where do I begin! Michelle did an absolute incredible job throughout our entire wedding process. Leading up to the wedding she made it clear as to what was needed & what we would b...
e doing on the day of. She is very comfortable to be around & even helps calm your wedding nerves! On the day of the wedding she immediately knew all of the best angles, spots & poses based off of where the sun was all afternoon. She made us laugh so our pictures weren't awkward or stiff looking too (which happens a lot for my husband and I). The pictures came out absolutely amazing & we are SO grateful to have these memories forever. I will be recommending Michelle to all my family and friends moving forward! 5 Star!
We cannot say enough about Michelle! We first met for our engagement shoot and knew immediately we made the right decision. Both my husband and I are not big into getting our pictu...
re taken but Michelle made us feel so comfortable!! We ended up having to reschedule our wedding due to covid and she was so accommodating through the whole process making a difficult and stressful time easy for us. And then again at the wedding she made sure everything was perfect!! All of the pictures she got are just unbelievable! Thank you again Michelle!
Michelle was absolutely amazing for our wedding and engagement photos. She helped make our wedding day stress free and keep us on schedule throughout the whole day. Our whole brida...
l party was so impressed by her organization and how smoothly our photos went throughout the day. She even helped me set up lists of needed photos and prepare for the wedding in the weeks leading up to it. We had so much fun working with Michelle and love all of our photos!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Michelle - great guiding towards the best spot and time and amazing results on the final pictures we received from our engagement!
I recently hired Michelle to capture my proposal and she exceeded any expectation imaginable. She got there early to capture the set up, spent time taking shots after it and stayed...
to help us pick up. We received a number of photos that day to share with friends and family and then quickly received the rest of the file. Everyone have raves about the photo. We will definitely be using Michelle for our wedding. Cannot recommend her enough!
Michelle was our photographer for both our engagement pictures and for our wedding, and the pictures for both turned out phenominal. She was helpful in suggesting places to capture...
our engagment photos. She did her due dilligence scouting out areas before hand on where to take our wedding day photos to have the perfect backdrop. Everyone in the family and wedding party loved her and raved about her hard work and how organized she was throughout the day. She quickly responded to any questions, was always prepared, and fun to work with. I don't know how we would have made it through our big day without her, she managed the chaos of the wedding day with ease. We will gladly go to Michelle for any of our events in the future. Thank you for everything Michelle!!
Where do I begin? Michelle is the best there is. When we first got engaged she was recommended to us by our Vendor. I will forever be grateful for that recommendation! I feel like ...
not only did we get the best photographer, but we also gained a friend during the whole process. COVID put a wrench in our original plan (like most 2020 brides!) and Michelle was there to help throughout the whole thing. She was always letting us know she was there and was always asking what she could do to help. When our wedding day finally came, it ended up being a cloudy, rainy day. Michelle worked with our wedding planner to make sure we have many back up plans and told me not to worry and that they had everything under control which was a HUGE relief. The day of could not have gone better. Between her and her wonderful second photographer, she captured the day perfectly. Our pictures are absolutely STUNNING. Our family members are still talking about how amazing she is and we can not stop looking at the pictures. Michelle is not only the best photographer but the sweetest, most genuine person you will ever meet! Stop your search here, if you're lucky enough for her to have your date available snag that ASAP!
Michelle was the best!! We hired her for our engagement photos in Boston and we had a wonderful experience. She was friendly, relaxed, professional, and came up with awesome phot...
o ideas. She got us our engagement photos in 3 days, I still can't believe how fast she was! I'm so pleased with the results and would work with her again in a second.
My fiancé hired Michelle to capture the most amazing proposal in Chatham. He could not have picked a more talented, detail-oriented, and warm-hearted person. The pictures came out ...
fantastic and we cherish every moment captured. Overall we were very impressed with Michelle’s professionalism and photography skills. She was vital in making that day so special and helped my fiancé facilitate the surprise proposal- she even drew a map for him! Michelle made us feel very comfortable while taking our pictures. The photos were crisp, clean, bright, and overall just simply amazing. If I could give more stars, I would.
There are not enough words in the world to describe how amazing Michelle is! We booked way back in 2018 when we first got engaged and she has been nothing but professional but pers...
onable throughout. We did our engagement shoot with her and loved every second of it. Then came the coronavirus and we changed our minds what felt like dozens of times and Michelle was there supporting and guiding us along the whole time. On our COVID wedding day in June, not only did Michelle still come out of the way to take “getting ready” pictures but also drove an hour to our ceremony spot where all of our family and friends barely even noticed she was there. She blended in so well and didn’t take away from our ceremony at all!
Long story short Michelle is an amazing photographer but an even better person. We love every single one of our engagement and wedding pictures (that came in the fastest turnaround time of all time) but we’re even more honored to now call Michelle one of our friends and can’t wait to do it all over again next year without corona! We are forever grateful for her!
After seeing our close friends engagement pictures by Michelle Dunham, we knew we had to have her photograph our wedding. Since day one of our working relationship, Michelle has be...
en amazing! She went above and beyond to get to know us, understand our relationship and what our vision was for our special day. We could tell how passionate Michelle was about trying to make our wedding day perfect. She took the time to visit our venue, speak with our other vendors, scope out the ideal backdrops, and learned our environment prior to our wedding day. We were so grateful of her time and effort, considering our wedding was in the mountains of Vermont during a cold New England winter.
Our wedding gallery is everything we could have wanted and more. Looking through the pictures instantly brought us right back to every moment of that day and that's all we could have hoped for. Her attention to detail was evident. Her organization kept us ensured that we had every shot we wanted during a day that just flies by. There was no reason for Michelle to treat us any differently, but we felt this specialized attention from her that made us feel exceptional. We feel so lucky to have met her and cannot recommend her more highly.
Michelle was wonderful to work with! My husband and I did both our engagement photos and wedding day photos with her and were very pleased! Michelle made both of us feel very comfo...
rtable from the beginning - which made having our photo taken a lot easier. On the day of the wedding she captured all of our special moments and we didn’t even notice she was there! She was extremely professional, took beautiful photos and was very communicative throughout the process! I would highly recommend Michelle for all your wedding photography needs :)
My husband and I were married on a “picture” perfect day this past September and we will be forever grateful to Michelle for capturing every detail.
Michelle made the entire proc...
ess of picking a wedding photographer stress free from beginning to end. She is highly organized, upbeat and easy-going. When she sent us our wedding photos, I wrote her back and told her that working with her was like spending the day with a friend. I stand by that statement and would recommend her time and time again to anyone who asked.
Thank you Michelle - you are wonderful!
We cannot say enough good things about Michelle Dunham Photography! Right from the start, everything was amazing. Michelle was extremely responsive, very professional, and willing ...
to do pretty much anything to make our day the best! (She practically hung over the roof of our venue to get the best shot for us!) We did an engagement shoot with her as well and I definitely recommend that. We all got to know each other personally and get to know her style which helped us be more relaxed on our wedding day. She created the entire timeline for me for the whole day of the wedding and everything was right on schedule! Michelle is so easy to get along with and work with. Her photos are so beautiful and amazing. As soon as we got them, we relived the whole day over again! We cannot thank Michelle enough for everything she did for our day and for all the memories we have through the photos she created for us!
Where do I even begin... From our very first conversation with Michelle, we knew that she was the right fit to capture our wedding. Michelle is SO kind, knowledgable, organized and...
talented. Michelle went above and beyond to help us pull off the best day ever. Throughout the planning process Michelle was highly communicative and attentive to any detail we suggested, as well as truly took the time to get to know both myself and my husband. Working with Michelle at both our Engagement Shoot and Wedding day was an absolute dream. It was as if our best friend was there to capture the day! To top it off, her pictures are absolutely stunning!! They are perfectly edited. The majority of our photos were taken at the beach and Michelle was able to capture the BEST lighting. I highly recommend Michelle Dunham Photography. Not only was she the best photographer, but she is the most amazing person!
We loved working with Michelle for our destination wedding in Tuscany. She helped design a timeline of events for the wedding day and met with us in person to go over all the deta...
ils. She was extremely professional, but also made our day fun and stress-free! The shots she captured were absolutely beautiful. We would highly recommend Michelle for your wedding or other photography needs!
Michelle was simply wonderful. She took creative and breathtaking photos of our outdoor Cape Cod wedding, perfectly capturing the joy everyone was feeling. I was hesitant about get...
ting a photographer - I have been to many weddings where the photographer seems to get in the way - but Michelle was able to move flawlessly through the ceremony and the reception without ever making me feel uncomfortable or that I couldn't be myself. And, she is such a delight as a person as well. I can't recommend her highly enough. We love the photos - especially the candids. Thank you for making our day so special and for being so lovely!
Michelle was an amazing photographer and a joy to have around. She was very professional, and efficient with taking photos of our large bridal party and families. The pictures were...
amazing, natural and really captured our day perfectly. The photos were available to us in a very timely fashion and the website was so easy to use and share with friends! We could not have been happier!
