Michelle Frederick Photography

ngaged yet but knew I wanted her to be hired for my wedding. She knows how to exactly connect with her clients and find out exactly what they are looking for. Michelle is professional, fun, so easy to get along with and makes you feel so comfortable around the camera . I couldn't of even imagined my photos would come out as amazing as they did. She truly is incredibly talented and a true gem. I cannot ever thank you enough Michelle for capturing the most amazing day of my life.

22 (boo covid)... So while our wedding hasn't happened yet, Michelle has already made us feel so confident in our decision as she has been so so understanding and willing to reschedule with us with no issues at all. We did our engagement session back in the fall and are so thrilled with the photos! Michelle made us feel so comfortable even though we both feel extremely uncomfortable having our photos taken. She was so easy to talk and felt like a friend about 2 minutes into the session. I am so excited to do it all over again on our wedding day!

how professional, kind, and funny she is and how at ease she made my husband and I feel during our engagement photoshoot and wedding day. Even during the pandemic, Michelle was so understanding and supportive of the changes we had to make and we could not be more grateful for her patience and kindness. She is the most fun loving and talented photographer. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! I even had my sister book with her for her upcoming wedding. Truly can not say enough good things and I am still in awe at how beautiful and perfect our engagement and wedding photos are :)

le from the moment we met her for our engagement shoot. On our wedding day, it was important for us to capture candid moments, people in their natural element enjoying the moment - Michelle delivered just that.

York. Logistically, it could have been a nightmare, and it was anxiety inducing. You would have never known that with Michelle. After weather canceled our first engagement session, she was willing to meet with us on Long Island. It was a grey day, but almost unbelievably Michelle was able to spin and utilize the dreariness to capture beautiful photographs. We think everyone’s wedding is unique, and ours was no different. Michelle is a chameleon in that way as she can adapt to any wedding and shoot it through the eyes of the married couple. The gallery Michelle shared with us truly captured the day and night the way we saw it unfold. We really couldn’t recommend Michelle with any more emphasis, and unfortunately words can’t really explain how great our experience was with her. We are so happy and lucky to have had Michelle capture our wedding day. -Brian and Stefanie Callaghan

Not only is she incredibly professional, but she is a genuine and wonderful person. Keith and I are typically unconfortable in front of the camera and usually end up making goofy faces in all of our photos, but Michelle was great at giving helpful direction and made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process (while making it super fun at the same time)! We haven't received our full library of wedding photos yet, but just seeing the few teasers she sent over last week were enough to make me cry. Michelle knows how to capture the love and beauty in each couple, and we are so happy knowing we will have these amazing pictures to cherish forever. She is a true artist, and trust me when I say that she is simply THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

in front of the camera and her easy going personality made it even easier! We’re so excited to have Michelle as our wedding photographer and can’t wait until June 2020 **Michelle was truly amazing to work with. With having to reschedule or 2020 wedding to 2021, she was so supportive and flexible. On the wedding day she captured everything we wanted and more! She was so personable and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to photograph the most important day in my life.

. Her personality is so likable and easy to get along with. She made our 6AM engagement sesh (of which my now husband was SUPER nervous about) feel so comfortable and like we had known her for years. The wedding day she was the most indiscreetly in the mix with questions and directions to ensure we had the best shots. My whole family fell in love with her and we absolutely knew we were in the best hands possible with her capturing our perfect day. I would recommend Michelle with 100 out of 5 stars! The absolute BEST!

e happy with the way our wedding and engagement pictures turned out. Michelle is so sweet and will make you feel extremely comfortable and special. The way she takes pictures and edits them is honestly so beautiful you will be so sorry if you pass her up! We have three crazy dogs and she was so patient with them and really captured some incredible moments that you would never even think of. Michelle is extremely professional and fun, you will literally feel like she is your bestfriend by the end of this ride. Her pictures really do speak for themselves absolutely phenomenal. We are so incredibly lucky she was our photographer and we CONSTANTLY get asked who our photographer was because she is just that damn good!

ofessional but she also made us so comfortable in front of the camera (especially my husband who can be shy with cameras). Michelle dealt with our crazy pups, and gave us the most amazing and perfect engagement photos. Leading up to the wedding Michelle gave us a guide that helped us feel at ease before the wedding. We also felt no need to really stress over ideas of photos because with Michelle she helps you get the most natural and not staged photos. We have only seen our preview of our gallery and I can’t believe how beautiful the photos are and I am so excited to see the rest. I am very grateful Michelle was who we picked for our wedding day, it was the one thing we did not have any stress over with her in charge of what we will look back on for the rest of our life to remember our amazing wedding day!

with her we never want her to leave! During our engagement session and during our wedding, she made us feel so comfortable and natural - nothing felt staged or unnatural at any point. She has such an amazing eye and ability to capture light, colors and compositions. We've only seen a few of the preview images from our wedding and everyone freaked out over them - multiple people told us they looked straight out of a magazine. That's actually why I picked Michelle in the first place - I really wanted an editorial feel to our photos and she is an absolute pro at that. She's also so enthusiastic and open to anything - on our wedding day we went from the gardens to the beach and had two dogs who wanted to be in every shot :-) We cannot wait to see the full set as we know they will be incredible!!

ch a way of portraying the real heart of a moment. Having the perfect photographer was one of the most important things for me. I wanted pictures that I would be able to look at and remember the way it felt on that day. Now that the day has come and gone, I could not be happier with the experience that I had with Michelle. What I didn't consider, when looking for a photographer, was the energy that that individual would exude. Michelle's positivity and passion for her art fills the air with a love that is influential on such a special day. I have heard nothing but wonderful things about her as a person from my bridal party and guests. Her presence was calming and joyful, which was a necessary factor since we received lots of unexpected rain that day!   I wanted a photographer who would capture our excitement and true personality. With that said, I was always down for any suggestions she made, which included hopping into a canoe before our ceremony! Against a stern warning from our entire bridal party, my fiancé and I decided to get in the boat! The threat of tipping didn't faze us until our dog jumped into the pond on a mission to get in the boat. A panic broke out as all 14 members of our bridal party attempted to distract our dog from his quest. Everything turned out just fine but, the point is that Michelle helped make this amazing moment happen! That’s a memory we will cherish and laugh at forever. As for the engagement shoot, we were so happy we took this opportunity. It was the first time we were to meet her and be photographed as a couple. Needless to say, we were nervous and didn't know what to expect. Both of us can look pretty stiff when it comes to posed pictures but we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the experience was. Michelle made the whole thing so enjoyable that it's now such a special memory for us. She had us do things that were fun and felt completely natural. I'm so pleased with the way the photos came out! She's just so amazing.   Additionally, her professionalism is something to be noted. I was always able to get in touch with her, she always did what she promised and never left me guessing. I would recommend her a million times and more. In the future I plan seek out any opportunity to work with her again. Just so wonderful!

each and every one of her clients and goes out of her way to deliver the best photography experience possible. I generally feel awkward in the spotlight, and unlike my fiancé I’m not always the most photogenic  So I was immediately blown away by our engagement photos. It meant so much to us to have our shoot at the same spot where we got engaged, and Michelle was 100% all-in despite the long travel time. She made the entire experience fun and totally relaxed; her easygoing nature really does put all your nerves at bay. The photos capture my now-husband and me completely in our element, minus all my awkwardness. After that, I knew our wedding photo experience would be awesome — and it was even more amazing than I could’ve imagined. I was a little frazzled and sleep-deprived the morning of the wedding, so I felt a little spacey/distracted, but Michelle made me feel completely at ease once again. She arrived as I was getting my makeup done and I felt so guilty that I couldn’t introduce her to all the girls or show her around, but she didn’t seem to mind in the slightest. She was outgoing with everyone and happy to check things out on her own while we finished getting ready. Michelle simply exudes positive energy, it’s contagious. I knew our bridal party and all our guests would love her too — and just as expected, SO many people commented on how clearly skilled (and cool!) she was. One guest pulled me aside to get Michelle’s name and said “you can just tell she’s getting all the perfect shots.” Not a single moment or shot felt forced, it was all so natural and true to us. One of my favorite parts of the day was when Michelle pulled us aside to take some more couple shots before dinner. At first I thought I’d be bummed to leave the table for a while, but holy crap was I wrong in the best of ways. I immediately felt relaxed when my fiancé and I followed her away and over to the cornfields for some beautiful shots. We both genuinely had a blast; it felt like hanging out with a cool friend. It was just so much fun. I can’t say enough great things about Michelle. Not only is she a phenomenal photographer, she’s also an awesome person. She added so much happiness to our wedding day just by being herself; you need this kind of positive, fun, relaxed energy around. Last but not least: we just received our preview gallery, and in a word: WOW. My husband and I were all smiles looking through each photo and remembering all the amazing parts of the day that flew by so fast. I love how candid and real everything feels and I absolutely cannot wait to check out the rest. So beyond glad we found Michelle. I know all this might seem a little wordy, but trust me that it’s a true testament to her awesomeness. She will make your wedding day a bazillion times more special.

e process she made my husband and I feel at ease (and we are often uncomfortable getting our pictures taken) and the photos she delivered were more gorgeous than I could have imagined! She is a true artist who captured all the big and small moments of our wedding beautifully! I honestly can't look at the gallery she sent us without tearing up because she encapsulated the variety of emotions felt on that day in such a pure way. My husband and I feel so lucky that we have truly amazing photos that accurately capture what our wedding felt like for us. You truly are making the best choice you possibly could for your wedding if you hire Michelle!!

t shoot my camera-shy husband was so excited for wedding pictures! She is so confident behind the camera and that confidences is shared with those in front of the camera. I will recommend Michelle Frederick Photographer to everyone always!

know each other and it really helped us (esp, my husband) get more comfortable for shooting on the wedding day! Things went smoothly and Michelle was open to shooting some of my requests (Some what controlling person over here! ☝🏽) Even after your special day is over and your on to the “real world” with your husband, she makes you feel like that special bride again and again by sharing your beautiful photos on her page with warming words of love and that feeling of importance! Would choose her again and again! Choose Michelle Frederick Photography for all your pre, and post wedding needs! Thank you to my new life long friend!!

own. We found Michelle on Instagram after she did a photo shoot at the Antique Boat Museum, our wedding venue. She was easy to communicate with, responded quickly, and is very down to earth. Michelle met us last Christmas to shoot our engagement photos. She found the perfect Whiskey bar in downtown Syracuse that created an ambiance that fit our style perfectly. Then she photographed our wedding in August at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, NY. The photos are stunning. We are so thankful we found Michelle!! We highly recommend Michelle!

also wanted someone who was low key, fun, and personal for our big day. After contacting Michelle, I felt totally at ease. She clicked with how we wanted our big day to be and was totally prepared and perfect on the day. She made us both feel so comfortable and was great in directing us for shots and what she thought would work. My husband and I were planning our big day from abroad, so we needed to just trust Michelle with our vision. She TOTALLY delivered. We got the photos a couple weeks ago and they are beautiful and everything we wanted. Including the artsy fox masks and smoke bombs! Could not be happier with her work. Thanks Michelle :)

otos, and she will really work with you to get the pictures you want. Everything about our experience with Michelle was phenomenal. She went above and beyond answering questions that didn't even pertain to photography based on vendors she had worked with in the past. She was always super helpful and responsive. Work with Michelle - you won't be disappointed.

they’d never met a more efficient and thoughtful photographer in all the weddings attended combined. Michelle is as wonderful a photographer as she is a person — her talent is truly a gift. She captured things we didn’t even know she was nearby for! Im used to being on sets and reviewing photos and this was the first and only time I’ve ever not been able to choose a favorite — my husband even tried to do it and couldn’t! I can’t say enough about MFP, they’re simply the best and I’m so grateful to have had her at our wedding.

xible with the date to meet up and even met us at sunrise to get the perfect lighting. On our wedding day Michelle was a true professional and did such an amazing job with keeping our shot list while also keeping everyone calm and happy in the buildup to the ceremony. We could not have been happier with her as our photographer and our photos turned out beautifully. We will cherish them forever and are thrilled with our photos! We would happily recommend Michelle to any couples who are looking for a super outgoing, friendly, and talented photographer!

made us really comfortable. She also did not bat an eye when the groom’s family was late for photos, still got all family shots done ahead of schedule and used the time to get awesome detail shots. We’re only two weeks out from our wedding, so have not yet received all the photographs, but we did get a preview of our photos through her blog— available about 10 days out from wedding!) and I love everything I’ve seen so far! She does such a nice job editing and really capturing the spirit of the event. So glad we booked her! Yay Michelle!
