Michelle was AMAZING and we truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, we had no idea what to do, and she guided us every step of the way with such ease and confidence. She made the entire experience feel natural, comfortable, and fun.
Even my dad, who is a very tough critic, could not stop complimenting her and how seamless and easy she was to work with. That alone says everything. Michelle brought such a calm, professional presence to the day, which made a huge difference for all of us.
The content creator she brought in was also incredible. We received a one minute reel and all of the videos the very next morning, which allowed us to relive our special day immediately. It was such an amazing and thoughtful addition. Her second photographer was fantastic as well and captured so many beautiful moments.
We are beyond grateful to Michelle and cannot wait to see all of the photos. If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, organized, and truly cares about your experience, Michelle is it.
Michelle is an incredible photographer and we could not have been happier with our wedding photos! She was the first vendor we booked because we knew from the beginning that she would capture our day perfectly. Michelle is such a joy to be around and she's so incredibly thoughtful and attentive. From the first moment we met, we knew we could be comfortable around her (this is extremely important because you will spend so much time with your photographer/videographer!). We cannot recommend her enough!! Please give her all of the love - she deserves it!
We hired Michelle for our March 2023 wedding, and I can't express enough how talented she is. She was very personable, organized, and communicative-- even travelled to Fort Myers. Ultimately, Michelle delivered the most beautiful moments of our wedding day. She truly has an eye for the emotions of the event and captured not just what is seen. I absolutely love our photos, and just looking at them transports me back to that wonderful day.
If you're thinking about hiring Michelle for your wedding, DO IT! I have 100% no regrets. Even before our wedding she was SO helpful with other wedding things as a professional in the field and as a recent bride herself. She always made herself available to talk or answer questions. She made it a priority to get to know me before our rehearsal dinner and wedding so she could understand what would be important for me on the big day for her to capture. I had worked with other professional photographers before for my pakistani wedding and let me tell you NOONE COMPARES to Michelle's professionalism, ability to get a shot without disrupting the atmosphere, and calm and encouraging attitude which make you feel like the most special client! On the day of the rehearsal dinner and wedding, she was just such positive calm energy even with a chaotic family and time limits. and she DELIVERS. The photos so far have been just such high quality, exactly capturing the vibe we discussed and the in site with our wedding mood/location. She is so pleasant to work with and produces great pictures too! You cant go wrong with her- i would recommend her to any of my best friends getting married and really think you cant go wrong.
I cannot recommend Michelle Gonzalez Photography highly enough! My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Michelle on several occasions, starting with our engagement photoshoot, followed by our wedding, maternity, and family photoshoots. Each experience has been nothing short of exceptional, leaving us with treasured memories captured in beautiful photographs.
One of the things that truly sets Michelle Gonzalez Photography apart is their ability to understand their clients' needs and preferences. Michelle took the time to get to know us and our story, ensuring that the essence of our relationship was reflected in every photo. Her expertise in finding the best angles and locations made us feel confident and at ease during each session.
Michelle's attention to detail is remarkable, as she intuitively captures the perfect moments, expressions, and emotions in her shots. She is not only talented behind the camera but also provides excellent service, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Her warm and friendly demeanor helps create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing for genuine and natural photographs.
The timeless portraits that Michelle Gonzalez Photography creates are a testament to Michelle’s talent and dedication to her craft. Our family's milestones have been beautifully preserved, thanks to Michelle's artistic vision and skill. We are so grateful for the memories we can cherish for years to come, and we highly recommend Michelle Gonzalez Photography to anyone seeking a professional, talented, and personable photographer to capture their special moments.
A true artist. Michelle is the best. I waited too long to leave a well-deserved review. Michelle was our photographer for our wedding a year ago and we feel so lucky that Michelle was our photographer. Coming all the way from NYC we didn't know what to expect and didn't quite have everything planned out. We got married in Vizcaya Gardens (Highly recommend) and she knew the ins and outs of it all, giving us priceless photos. Michelle was great to work with and made us very comfortable, making our special day stress free and just beautiful.
You get the most bang for your buck with Michelle also. Other photographers ain't quite as good as Michelle is and more expensive.
SO happy we got to book you! Highly highly recommend! Thanks again Michelle!
Michelle is amazing!!! We hired her for our wedding in West Palm Beach, FL and she was so wonderful to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and was great at giving us direction throughout the day. We received our sneak peek photos (about 100 pics) within days of our wedding, and they are breathtaking. She’s truly an artist. We definitely recommend hiring Michelle for all of your events!
Hire Michelle as your wedding photographer. It will be the easiest decision you make in the wedding planning process. Michelle handled our engagement pictures at the Biltmore, supported me in the wedding process as if she were a friend, and shot stunning photos of our big day at The Confidante Hotel.
Style wise, Michelle’s photos are real, romantic, and exactly the kind of photo you can make a whole album out of, blow up and hang on your wall, or send around to family and friends. True keepsakes. She captures the movement in your interactions and brings out the best in you.
Setting aside her impeccable photography style, Michelle is the sweetest and most professional women in the business. She is a boss. Every interaction is seamless and you will love chatting with her. She is two steps ahead and takes the whole photo responsibility off your plate. She asks the right questions so she gets every shot you could want and she had me make a list of family shots well in advance. Her assistant and her then sailed through them, making it the least stressful process even with a big family. She delivered shots timely and produced sneak peaks so quickly! We are very grateful she turned around an abundance of sneak peeks in time for the holidays.
Don’t forget to include the photo booth! The guests had so much fun and everyone received their pictures digitally before the night was even over.

We absolutely loved working with Michelle for our wedding! Neither of us had ever taken professional photos and both the engagement shoot and wedding day were so flawless. She made us feel comfortable and captured natural-looking and amazing photos. We both loved her style and execution so much. The movement and color in the photos really brought the wedding day memories to life. I have and will continue to recommend Michelle to all my friends for any photography needs. She was organized, helpful, talented, and did a great job of making our photos unique to us and our relationship. 15/10 !!
Michelle was the best photographer for our Miami Beach wedding wedding. Her work is flawless. She captured everything that we wanted and more and made us feel comfortable both at our engagement and wedding shoot. She has an amazing attitude and vibe that helped keep everyone calm and organized. We highly recommend Michelle!!!!!!! 100/10!
Where do I even begin with Michelle! She is absolutely phenomenal and if you are thinking about hiring her- do not think twice, you will not regret it! I booked Michelle after my original photographer had cancelled on me a few moths prior to my wedding. When I found out this was the only date left she had left available (she is so talented so I was SO lucky I was able to hire her last minute), I knew it was meant to be! From the first phone call to discuss my vision all the way to the delivery of photos everything was perfect. Each phone call she was very detail oriented and organized to plan for a flawless wedding day, but she was also so personable that we would have so much fun chatting on the phone. On top of the wedding, Michelle planned an amazing non traditional engagement shoot what was "vintage tennis themed". She went above and beyond by making an inspiration Pinterest page, finding a location, sending amazon links to use as props, all to help the vision come alive. It was so much fun and she made us so comfortable in the process. On the wedding day, again she was nothing but spectacular. She was such a huge help trying to gather all my crazy family/friends to help stick with the timeline and shot list in order to take the stress off my shoulders! She was able to capture everything that I had discussed with her on our phone calls plus more than I would have ever hoped for. She was such a joy to have, that I was so sad to see her go at the end of the night! The photos came back in about two weeks after the wedding day and a few sneaks a few days later (so quick!!). Every photo looks like it came straight from a magazine, and she truly made me feel like a movie star! I am so excited to have these photos as memories to keep forever since the day goes by so fast- I just find myself starring at the photos because of how beautiful they all came out!! Book Michelle for your wedding, she will be the best decision you will make!
From the minute I saw Michelle's photos, I knew I wanted her to shoot our engagement pictures as I had high hopes that she would understand the vibe I was going for. To say she exceeded all expectations would be an understatement! Michelle was an absolute dream to work with. She made a 7am photoshoot not only bearable but actually enjoyable.
I was a bit worried beforehand since my fiancé and I had never done a photoshoot and aren't huge fans of the typical 'pose and smile' situation but thankfully, neither is Michelle! She shoots movement and really just took pictures as we interacted with each other; she of course gave the occasional guidance on where to look, how to fix my hair from blowing in my face, and what direction to walk in but for the most part, it was as if she wasn't even there! She was able to make the pictures look alive and perfectly captured our love and the young love/classic James Bond vibe we were going for!
Right as we started the shoot, it began to rain (typical Miami weather) and I was a bit concerned since we only booked her for an hour. Michelle was BEYOND accommodating and never made us feel rushed! She gave us her undivided attention and the time we needed to get some incredible shots. It was insanely humid and the wind was pretty wild but she helped fix me up for pictures and used the wind to our benefit!
Michelle captured the engagement photos of my dreams and I am so happy we decided to work with her for our engagement pictures. We will treasure these photos for years to come and will definitely be hiring Michelle again in the future!
I cannot recommend Michelle enough! Book her while you can - you will be so grateful you did!
Michelle Gonzalez has a TRUE GIFT!!! The second I received our engagement photos I was jumping up and down excited and looking through them brought me to tears I LOVE THEM ALL!!! I honestly don’t know how I’m going to choose one for our save the date! The process was so fun and effortless and she made us feel so comfortable. She truly has an amazing gift and knew exactly how to capture our passionate, silly, fun relationship in a nutshell. I am SO happy in my decision choosing Michelle to photograph our wedding and I cannot thank her and recommend her enough!!!
Ok, ya know how you dream about how your engagement photos will look but are like “there’s no way ours turn out that good”? Well with Michelle, they turn out THAT GOOD. I can’t tell you how much I love her work and how COMFORTABLE my fiancé and I felt during our shoot. I was a little nervous but Michelle was sweet and lovely and personable. It was so easy to be ourselves and we almost forgot she was there (in a good way!). We were able to relax and have fun with it. She gave us direction when we needed it but otherwise, let us do our thing. She was prompt and made sure we used our two hours in the most productive way. Upon receiving the photos, the site was so easy to use, easy to download the album, and easy to order prints. I will be recommending Michelle to everyone I know!! Mitch and I are obsessed with the photos. Her work truly captured how in love we are with each other. Michelle, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
I honestly do not know how to put into words how overwhelmed, emotional, happy, jumping up and down, thankful I am for Michelle Gonzalez and her gift of capturing our love. I could not be happier with our engagement photos!!! Michelle Gonzalez you are the gift.
The process of taking the photos was effortless, fast, and she made us feel so comfortable. It definitely felt like we knew her before the day of our engagement shoot. It was effortless because Michelle knows exactly what to do, say, and where to take the photos. She has the best eye for the best shots.
I have only showed a few family members and friends my photos and they are freaking out, and want to shoot with Michelle! I honestly don't know how I am going to choose one for the save the date because I LOVE them all!
If you are nervous about who to use, I promise, if you use Michelle Gonzales you will not have to worry about a thing. I love you Michelle Gonzalez. I seriously can't thank you enough!!!

When I planned my wedding, having a great photographer was at the top of my priority list…I mean these are pictures that you’ll come back to for a lifetime right?! I am not exaggerating when I say that Michelle went FAR beyond my expectations! Every phone call I had with her leading up to the wedding blew me away…from the timeline she put together for us to the vendor suggestions, she even sent links to little details that would make for beautiful photos! The day of the wedding she was extremely professional, keeping our rowdy wedding party in line, but also super fun, helpful and creative! I can be a little shy behind the lens, and Michelle gave us direction and kept things very natural. Due to random gale force winds and freezing temperatures (ugh) our reception had to be moved indoors. Michelle somehow made even a blah ball room look amazing. We WERE able to take photos on the beach beforehand during sunset and I literally get teary eyed just flipping through them. They are absolutely STUNNING! Literally everyone who has seen our gallery has commented on these photos, my new sister-in-law has appointed me the photographer-finder for all future family events…which obviously means I’ll be reaching out to Michelle again soon! Oh, and one last thing, the turnaround time to get out phots back was UNHEARD of…we got our photos back only a few weeks later. As a newlywed anxiously awaiting, I couldn’t believe it! I seriously could not recommend Michelle enough you guys. She is absolutely unbelievable at what she does. Thank you SO Michelle for these beautiful memories!!
You will not find a better photographer than Michelle. She captured both our Engagement & Wedding Photos and I could not ask for anything better. Every single one of our guests said our wedding photos were the best the had ever. seen. She truly does not miss a moment and I can not put into words how magical and special her photos are. I am so thankful for her and that I have these photos to cherish for the rest of my life. She is the absolute best.
Michelle did an amazing job in capturing our special day! I was a bit nervous because it was raining which did not let us take pictures in the planned areas. But wow! The pictures she delivered were incredible! You can feel the emotion in the pictures and the lighting was perfect. I cannot stop looking at them. They are perfect and such priceless memories. From the start she was extremely organized and had every detail down on how the day would go. I highly recommend her and I mean look at her pictures they speak for themselves!
We searched for a photographer for our wedding for quite some time and spoke to MANY different vendors and in the end Michelle was our top choice! She was very calm and helpful in figuring out the timeline of the day. Her pictures are absolutely amazing, she was able to beautifully capture the essence of the day without any complications. For our engagement photos, we were only able to do 30 mins because it was UNBEARABLY hot that day, and Michelle captured such AMAZING shots in just 30 mins! Highly recommend!
Michelle was amazing. She made the day so easy, fun, and enjoyable. The photos were amazing and in the most beautiful location. When I received them my jaw dropped. She literally captured us so well and I am beyond thrilled with the final results. I HIGHLY recommend her.
Michelle was absolutely wonderful to work with. We knew from the beginning that we wanted a simple, no-fuss elopement that left us with beautiful photos to look back on. She helped us plan our day, organizing a gorgeous beach sunrise photoshoot the morning of and returning later in the evening for our ceremony. She was attentive to what made us unique as a couple and brainstormed creative ideas for how to incorporate those elements into the shoot. I love our photos so much and haven't stopped looking at them every day since we received them.
I knew I wanted Michelle to photograph our wedding instantly. Not just for her sheer talent but because I've known her longer than I've known my husband. She made me feel comfortable and it was so special to have her capture our love because she was there from the start. Michelle is personable, kind hearted, so fun, and above all talented. She was such a pleasure to work with from our enagement photos to our wedding. We had to postpone twice due to covid and she was so flexible and understanding. We received our gallery way quicker than I ever thought! We have so many photos and they are all amazing. Truly, as if they were straight out of a magazine. I cannot wait to have them printed. Thank you again Michelle for capturing such a special and magical day!
Our experience with Michelle was AMAZING! She definitely listened to what we suggested/wanted during our session. She also guided us when we felt stuck. She was an expert at capturing artistic, real, and raw photos. We loved that we didn’t feel stiff or uncomfortable. She used all free movement and she gives you the freedom to do your own thing. Our photos came out excellent and all of our friends think ours are the best they’ve ever seen, credit to Michelle! We would 100% recommend her and would book her again. She is incredible!
In the early stages of wedding planning I was considering having a destination wedding in Florida. After browsing Instagram for vendors I came across Michelle’s page. I reached out to her her immediately to let her know I loved her work and I was going to be visiting Florida to look for venues. She was so helpful and gave me so many recommendations. She is honestly just the sweetest person ever. Immediately after finding my venue she was the FIRST vendor I booked with and I am so happy I did. Our wedding day would not have been what is was without her !
Michelle from start to finish was easy to work with, professional, and catered to my specific wants and needs for the wedding. I first reached out to her because I loved her work and read many reviews about how comfortable she makes you feel when she works with you. Before the wedding itself, she was very thorough and helpful about what to expect and what did I specifically want photo wise. I had a long list of speciifc family photos, bridesmaid photos and personal photos I wanted. The day of she was a wonderful energy and presence. She felt the energy and never was pushy or distracting with the photography which was super important to me. I also am kindof awkward infront of cameras and she made me feel so comfortable and my husband and I genuinely had fun taking our photos. I was able to ask her for very specific photos, and then she also got creative with her work as well! My wedding was a 50 person, outdoor wedding at a private residence, and I think she captured it perfectly. I got my photos exactly 6 weeks after the wedding, and I had more than enough photos I loved.
Best decision I made for my wedding day (besides marrying my husband) was hiring Michelle as our photographer. From the moment that I stumbled upon her Instagram I fell in love with her photos & editing style. We hired her for our engagement shoot and she has a special way of making you feel very comfortable in front of the camera, even when you usually aren’t. She makes the whole process really fun & makes it feel & look natural. I love how she captures candid moments instead of making things look staged like most other photographers do. You can tell that Michelle takes pride in her work and truly has a passion for what she does. She is also extremely professional and organized and made me feel confident on my wedding day when it came to sticking to timelines which allowed me to truly enjoy my day without stress. She’s so fun to work with and we felt like we have known her for years! I also couldn’t believe how quickly she delivered our wedding album even with SO many pictures. I can’t stop looking at them and I will probably look at them everyday. She captured all of the most special moments from one of the best days of our entire lives so perfectly and we will be forever grateful. We love you Michelle!!!
Magazine Worthy!! “Good” does not even begin to describe Michelle’s work or how incredible of a person she is! Like many modern day brides, I chose all of my vendors through Instagram posts of other weddings. I can honestly say that the very first vendor I secured was Michelle!!! Our journey with Michelle began before even choosing our wedding date haha she took our engagement photos and we fell in love with the environment she created for us just by being behind the camera!! She truly made us feel like we were on a very exciting, romantic date, all while she was taking the most gorgeous photos of us!! Fast forward to the wedding day and once again I was reassured that we had made an excellent choice!! She took photos of every little detail, all of the little Etsy purchases I had made was in our final gallery haha She made all of us feel so comfortable and calm but also made sure we were having fun! It truly felt like I had another best friend with me on my wedding day by having her as our photographer. We are all forever grateful for her and the art she creates!! Every photo she takes looks like it was taken to be the front cover of a magazine! She is a truly incredible person and naturally turns your memories into art! I know I will book her for any future photo worthy moments!!
If I could give Michelle 6 stars, I would do it in an instant! My husband and I booked Michelle for a one hour photo shoot to commemorate our five year wedding anniversary. The experience we had with Michelle from booking to the delivery of our photos far surpassed our expectations.
When we first reached out to Michelle about booking a photoshoot, she sent out lots of information that helped us choose a package and was very responsive with all of my questions leading up to the shoot. She also sent us tips and suggestions for preparing for our shoot. This was really helpful because, this being my husband and my first professional photo shoot, I was nervous! I am someone who is always a little uncomfortable in front of a camera and I was a little worried that I would be so nervous during the shoot that anytime I looked at our final photos I would just remember feeling uncomfortable. NOPE! I was 100% incorrect on that.
My husband and I had a genuinely great time at our shoot. Michelle makes you feel so comfortable and free in front of the camera. I felt like I was just on a private date with my husband! Not only did Michelle give us an unbelievable amount of gorgeous photos that blew us away, she gave us a great memory that we now share of trying something new together! Thank you Michelle! When I look at our photos, I just remember being so happy. What a great feeling to hang all over our home :)
Now I need to tell you a little more about our photos. Oh..my...GOODNESS!! Michelle does magic with her camera! Her work is unbelievable and she has the ability to tell an entire story within one image and we got A LOT of images. The way she captured the genuine connection between my husband and myself is so special and our main challenge now is somehow figuring out which photos are our favorites to print. We will cherish these images for the rest of our lives <3
Michelle is an artist, book her while she is still available! I promise you will be so happy you did!
A million times YES, YES, YES!!!! Words cannot even express how thankful I am to have had Michelle do my engagement photoshoot!!
My fiancé and I were a bit nervous at first because we had never done a photoshoot before and had no clue what to expect, but the moment that we got out of the car to meet Michelle, we heard her across the parking lot greeting us with the most welcoming smile and words of excitement! Right then and there, I was like, YES!! LET’S DO THIS! :)
Michelle is so cheerful, passionate, professional and pleasant to work with!! She made us feel SO comfortable during the whole session! Her goal is to capture pure moments of happiness and love without making you feel stiff and awkward! She creates a warm environment where you want to laugh, kiss, jump around and dance endlessly! :)
I had looked at previous photoshoots that Michelle captured before ours to get some ideas, and I saw this AMAZING moment of two lovebirds frolicking in the water while enjoying every moment! I was dying to do something similar, so I nervously asked Michelle before our photoshoot if we could reenact this scene, and she said OF COURSE!! So, while the sun was setting, we ventured off into the water and did a bunch of amazing poses, with our last shot being a moment that I will NEVER forget!!
Michelle told us to run through the water, and I was like, "Yesss!! time to do this!" My dress was drenched and weighing me down from being knee deep in the water, and my fiancé's shorts were soaking wet, but that didn't even phase us because our hands were linked together and we were looking into each other's eyes just enjoying every bit of the moment!! I am SO thankful that Michelle was able to capture this authentic experience during sunset! Each time I look at this stunning photo in my living room, along with 10 other mesmerizing photos that I printed from this experience, I just sit there and replay the moments from that night over and over again, wishing that I could go back!!!
My fiancé and I have had to make the difficult decision of postponing our wedding until the following year due to COVID-19, and I can honestly say that looking at our pictures in the house each day brings a smile to my face, along with a peace of mind and happiness during this tough time!!
I cannot thank Michelle enough for being SO SO AMAZING and leaving this wonderful impact on our experience as a newly engaged couple!!
Michelle was so generous and even made a fabulous slideshow video with my favorite song for our engagement party, so that all of our friends and family could see it! I have gotten HUNDREDS of compliments on the photos from this photoshoot from friends, family members, co-workers, and social media followers! People have screenshotted the photos from our photoshoot on Pinterest while searching “beach engagement photos” and have told me how they are so in awe of Michelle’s work!!!
With that being said, you can clearly tell that I am a Superfan of Michelle!!! Photography is definitely Michelle’s calling, and I would 10000% recommend her!!
So, time to go book her for your dream photoshoot!! :) Get ready to let loose and soak in all of the feels with the person you love in your favorite place!!! :)
Michelle was absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and truly takes the time to get to know you before your session. She did a fantastic job at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera (that’s saying a lot for us!!) and she ABSOLUTELY DELIVERED and quickly too! I love her work and would recommend her to anyone interested in getting some professional photos! Best engagement photos ever! :)
Our experience with Michelle as our wedding photographer was fantastic! I found Michelle via instagram and loved her aesthetic. Michelle was responsive, professional and really "got" our vision and the vibe we were going for throughout the entire process. All of these factors were very important to us, as we were planning a destination wedding in Miami from NYC. When we finally met Michelle for our in home engagement session ( highly recommend!) we were sure we picked the right person. She put us both at ease and was great practice for the big day.
Now for the wedding day - she totally nailed the vision her and I had spoke about leading up to the day! We had so much fun with the bridal portraits and some of our favorite pictures are of our guests during the ceremony. There are too many favorites to share!
For any couples getting married in the Miami area, I highly recommend Michelle!
First off, if you are looking for a photographer, look no further. She is absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. She did our engagement shoot and our wedding shoot and I couldn’t have asked for a more talented, professional, nice person to do the job! At our engagement shoot, my husband was a little hesitant as he had never done something like it before and she made it so easy. We didn’t pose, they were all action in the moment shots. She had us laughing and frolicking around Naples! Then, wedding. She has the process down to a T so you don’t have to worry or think about anything. She is a wedding planner and photographer all in one. She nails every detail. She worked with my planner on details, timing, itinerary for the day, etc. the day of she didn’t miss a beat and She captured every moment I could think of plus more. Keep in mind your photographer is someone who is with you basically all day on the most important day, make sure it’s someone you love. Having Michelle around was like
Having a best friend around! She was sweet, real, got what she needed when she needed (while politely doing so) and my whole fam thought she was a doll. Can’t say enough good things. I’d recommend her. She goes with the flow and improvises when needed. Timely, consistent and incredibly incredibly talented. Use her!!!
I cannot say enough about our experience with Michelle. From beginning to end she made our stressful wedding process feel effortless. We knew from our engagement photos we had made the right choice but my goodness did she BLOW US AWAY with our wedding photos. You can tell that an incredible amount of attention and love was invested into every single one of our images. What’s even better is that every picture looks so natural and candid and you can literally feel the joy and love in every picture. I cried happy tears looking over our final wedding photos and reliving the day. I’m sure we’ll be revisiting these photos a million times in the years to come. From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Michelle was the most incredible photographer, and well- friend by the end of it! From when we received the engagement shoot pictures I just couldn't wait for her to do our wedding and she did not disappoint!
Michelle was very scheduled but still kept it really fun! I didn't once feel pressured or stressed out by her at all. She kept everything fun and exciting and has the most contagious smile! its hard not to smile for all the pictures she takes! Every single person from our wedding complimented her and her work and commented on how they had never seen the side of my now husband that she managed to catch which is something that's really special to me! Michelle was incredibly easy to work with and just one of those people you can't not have fun around! Just an incredible photographer and human being and I couldn't thank her enough for the most incredible wedding pictures that I will cherish forever!
I am not one who feels super comfortable in front of the camera. But as soon as I met Michelle she made myself + all of my wedding party so comfortable! She captured our wedding day exactly how we imagined it! She has fantastic photography skills from directing you to capturing the perfect photo with the beautiful gold and moody lighting. She is professional + pays attention to detail, is beyond outgoing + friendly. I enjoyed working with her so much and would recommend her to my best friend!
XOXO Thanks Michelle
By some miracle I stumbled across Michelle when I was researching elopements at South Seas (Captiva, FL) and immediately fell in love with photos she had done of a wedding there. Her work was so beautiful and captivating that I booked her without having a doubt in my mind that she would be perfect and on the big day – she was!! She was so easy going, sweet and super helpful. We were both very relaxed and our pictures came out absolutely beautiful. She captured so much love and happiness and I was so amazed at how that all translated in the photos! I am slightly obsessed with our wedding/elopement album! My husband loves the photos but he can’t believe how much I am still talking about them! Haha ;) Michelle is extremely talented and you will be so happy with her work – we sure are!
Michelle is a wonder. From our first communication after my initial inquiry to posing for her camera on the dance floor, Michelle had me and my husband's backs every step of the way. She was methodical and professional, and she led our sessions with such confidence and kindness; my husband and I felt safe to be who we were in front of her camera...and she captured us BEAUTIFULLY.
...so beautifully that she made rainy-day shoots look golden! Yes, "shoots" plural—it rained for our engagement shoot in NYC, AND it rained for our wedding... but no one would be able to tell from the photos she took. Michelle wields her camera with such deftness and grace; rain can't dampen her creative eye!
Sidenote: the fact that Michelle took her equipment out in the rain for both our engagement and wedding shoots says a lot about her character and her work ethic. She could have easily told us that we would have to find indoor locations to shoot, but she wanted to give us the most out of our investment.
My husband and I one thousand times recommend Michelle. We love her, and we love her work.
Michelle is absolutely GREAT! My fiance and I worked with her for our engagement photo shoot and she made our shoot so fun. We felt so comfortable with her and we honestly had such a beautiful day. My biggest concern was that my fiance is not very fond of taking photos, but I was very surprised to hear him tell me he had a lot of fun when we wrapped up. Michelle captured so many beautiful photos of us, they look like they belong in a magazine. I am so in love with them and I look at them daily. <3
Michelle has an incredible talent for photography and the sweetest personality. Her demeanor made my fiancé and I comfortable immediately, even though we were nervous about our engagement photos! We felt instantly relaxed with her guidance and enjoyed every minute. We received our photos in a timely manner and were blown away at how they turned out!! She captured us perfectly and I can't recommend her enough. It was worth every penny.
I knew as soon as Jesse and I got engaged that I wanted Michelle to photograph our wedding!! She worked so well with our bridal party & families the day of the wedding and even hung out during the rehearsal dinner haha! We are absolutely in live with ALL of the photos we received, which was a whole lot!!! We don’t ever get professional photos done and our wedding day photos are literally stunning, favorite portraits ever!!! The different poses we did just made us look like we were in a magazine! We told everyone what a great job she did, it shows in the photos!! She takes her time editing and really perfects them. Thank you Michelle, we will forever cherish this day and the moments you captured♥️
We found Michelle by looking through instagram hashtags and after looking on her website and seeing a specific photo that we had loved from Pinterest long before, we knew we HAD to have her shoot our wedding. We could not have been happier with the entire experience! From the very first text Michelle was so friendly and just made everything so easy as far as planning and coordinating all the details. We had the privilege of shooting a complimentary engagement session before the wedding and it was so cool to spend that time with her beforehand to really get to know her and see how she worked. The session just felt natural and was a lot of fun. Going into the wedding we were even more excited to see the incredible work she would do. As many will testify with Michelle, she does a great job with just allowing you to be yourselves and capturing you as you are, rather than feeling like the photos are staged or posed. The quality of her photos is incredible and she delivers so many perfect ones it makes it hard to choose a favorite! She has a keen eye for locations and has a gift of making any location look incredible! We seriously cannot pick a favorite picture but can say confidently that she captured every moment perfectly from our big day. If we rewound and did it all over, we would not hesitate to book Michelle again! We cannot say enough good things about her work, it would be in your best interest to just book her now! You would be doing yourself a huge favor.
Michelle has such a big talent in what she does! She took my engagement pictures and I completely love them. She made it such an easy and fun time! I was a little nervous because I thought I was going to “run out” of poses to strike lol but her work isn’t based on poses, it is based on moments. She made us laugh at each other, run, jump, etc. instead of just looking into a camera and awkwardly smile. She captured perfect moments where you can see our personalities and our love for each other! I definitely recommend Michelle to take any type of pictures because she is the absolute BEST!!
