Michelle Gonzalez Photography

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!

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!!! :)

IVERED and quickly too! I love her work and would recommend her to anyone interested in getting some professional photos! Best engagement photos ever! :)

tire 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!

ice 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!!!

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!

ill 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!

lls 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

ut 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!

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.

ery 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

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.

e 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♥️

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.

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!!
