ack memories of such a magical day.
Michelle was very organized and made sure every special moment and detail was captured just as we’d hoped. She’s friendly, calm, and confident, which helped us feel completely at ease throughout the day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Michelle and her assistant Laura were absolutely AMAZING ! I truly cannot express our gratitude enough for the beautiful photographs as well as their kind and calm selves helping c...
oordinate our day!! I owe entirely the stress free flow of our day to Michelle and her team and cannot recommend her enough !!
If you're looking for a detail-oriented, creative, and professional photographer in the Philadelphia or tri-state area, look no further! We truly wish we could add more than 5 star...
s to our review of Michelle's photography of our wedding day. We had a lot of moving parts on our day including a first look in a different location and the incorporation of our 15-month-old and our dog alongside a 150-person guest list. Michelle and her second shooter Laura captured it ALL from the intricate details to the family shots. Plus, Michelle delivered the full album of edited wedding photos to us promptly and we got to look at them with our family right before Christmas, which was really special. We highly recommend Michelle Lynn Weddings!
Michelle Lynn knew our venue well. She was very organized and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. She offered tips to help keep us from looking like a sweaty mess since we had ...
an unusual hot day. Highly recommend her.
Michelle’s work is fantastic!! Our engagement and wedding photos both exceeded our expectations! She is a master at truly capturing the joy, the love and the celebration… and she...
does it with a friendly and calm demeanor, as well as a confidence that puts everyone at ease. Highly recommend!
I found Michelle through google and chose her due to her glowing reviews and gorgeous work I saw on instagram. Easily one of my best decisions I made during wedding planning. I was...
looking for timeliness natural photos and her work is exactly that. We did an engagement session with her, something I never saw us doing, but am forever grateful I did. The photos came out perfectly and I could not be happier with them. Michelle truly does have an artistic eye and I trust her completely to deliver my wedding photos just as beautifully. I cannot express how excited I am for them! Our wedding just passed a few days ago, so I do not have those photos yet, but I know they will everything I hope for and more.
On my wedding day morning I was incredibly anxious and she was constantly in my corner. The day was running behind schedule (hair and makeup ran later than expected, my dress was given me issues, etc) and she did everything she could to try to keep logistical worries that kept popping up away from me. During family portraits she expertly dealt with family members that weren't being corporative. One of my family members was being especially uncooperative and pushy towards Michelle and Michelle handled the situation expertly so that more time was not lost unnecessarily. I just knew the whole time Michelle was on and working her hardest for me. If you need someone to trust on your wedding day it's her.
Oh! Also, I want to add she is incredibly professional and timely in all correspondence. She is personable, reliable, and absolutely the best.
A friend recommended me to Michelle and I am so glad! Michelle was amazing throughout the whole thing! We didn’t have time to fuss over the wedding and we’re so glad that Michelle ...
sent us emails to remind us and let us know each steps! We don’t know too much about weddings, we usually just go to weddings and go home so having Michelle there was great. She went above and beyond by explaining to us what people usually do because we were definitely confused lol. I love the personalization that Michelle does and the attention to detail is amazing!! She had notes and reminded me of things even I forgot which I am so glad because in the midst of everything she was there to remind me of who I wanted pictures with, what to do next etc. I would’ve def regret not taking some pictures of it weren’t for her!! She really is amazing! Can’t wait to see the pictures because I know it’ll be great!
*AMAZING* Photographer Review
Michelle Lynn was absolutely phenomenal to work with leading up to our wedding and on the wedding day. We had a lot of specific requests when it came...
to the contract as well as a very tight schedule on the day of the wedding (30 mins commute between hotel/church/venue). We also had a large bridal party (10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen, to be exact). She worked with us in every aspect and made everything so easy for us. She even went to our church before the wedding day and scoped out good spots for bridal portraits because I didn't want to go to a 4th location. When we were running behind schedule on the day of the wedding, she was able to stay calm (which I desperately needed) and get all the photos that we had requested without us missing cocktail hour. She was also able to wrangle our large bridal party and make it fun for them! She gently checked in with us throughout the wedding day to ensure we got every photo possible without taking us away from the wedding events. Following the wedding, she has been excellent to work with and very communicative in regards to our wedding album, and we are THRILLED with the final photos. We were ecstatic to see how well she captured the day as well as all of our guests. There are multiple pictures of every single wedding guest candidly enjoying themselves, on and off the dance floor. It was so special to see all those little moments that we couldn’t on the day of the wedding captured in the photos forever. Overall, Michelle has been so patient, compassionate and detail-oriented during our 1.5 years of working with her. I would highly recommend Michelle Lynn to any bride, but especially if you are Type A (maybe somewhat controlling, like me lol) because she kept me very calm while still paying attention to every single detail. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
Michelle Lynn did a stellar job photographing our wedding and preparing an album for us. She was professional, dependable, easy to communicate with, and took all of our tastes and ...
requests into account. We would not have changed a thing regarding the photos or album. If you want to get the job done right, go with Michelle. You will be very pleased.
We had our wedding Memorial Day Weekend 2021 in the Poconos

emember it. Michelle was easy to work with and so organized. We were planning our wedding from out of state and she jumped into help me find some additional vendors from the area as well. On our wedding day she was fun and energetic - and made sure we got to eat dinner! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who wants to love every single photo they receive! Thank you Michelle!!
Michelle was the best photographer we could not have even imagined! From our engagement session where we were so nervous to be the center of attention, she put us totally at ease a...
nd really was able to direct us for some out of this world shots. Not only that but when COVID led us to reschedule our big wedding but still move forward with our small ceremony, Michelle stayed on with us and captured the beauty and intimacy of our 13 person wedding. Those pictures are superb and we could not be more grateful for her expertise. We cannot wait to work with her again in November!
Michelle was FANTASTIC! We had her do our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos (she gave us such a good deal!) and we are beyond happy with our photos! She was easy to w...
ork with, easy to communicate with, and very professional and delivered our photos in *very* timely fashion! We are so pleased with her work and her professionalism and we highly recommend her!
Michelle was my only choice for a photographer after I observed her collaborative work style and her beautiful, timeless photos from my sister's wedding two years ago! She was an a...
bsolute pleasure to work with leading up to and on our wedding day (which especially meant a lot because we planned our microwedding within 8 weeks!). She went above & beyond to create the perfect photo package for our needs, and even reached out to her network to help us find a perfect videographer on our short timeline too. Michelle truly helped alleviate a bit of our wedding-planning stress with her prompt & super-friendly communication, organization, helpful suggestions, flexibility, and genuine care - I trusted her 100%. On our wedding day, Michelle's calm energy & positive encouragement definitely helped both my husband & me feel comfortable and have fun with the photo shoot! She also skillfully coordinated our families for the portrait sessions (no easy task!). We now have the most beautiful collection of photos from our wedding day...we are so happy!! Michelle perfectly captured both ranges of posed & candid, and important & behind the scenes moments. Her documentary style was also perfect because we always planned to share our gallery with family members & friends who couldn't attend our wedding in person due to the pandemic - we received so many responses complimenting how wonderful the photos turned out! For such an important day, we were so glad to have someone as caring and talented to put our trust in for our wedding photos. We highly highly recommend Michelle's services!
Michelle was our photographer for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. Our engagement shoot was at Grounds for Sculpture. She was able to capture so many incredibly beaut...
iful and unique pictures of us that we used for our save the date and for our seating chart at the wedding. The wedding occurred after the pandemic which was very stressful and changed the type of wedding we had. Even with all the changes she was still able to capture our day perfectly. Since we had less people attending and it was all outdoors she was able to capture pictures of all of our guests and used the outdoor natural lighting to her advantage. She also brought a lot of her own lighting for the night pictures. We have so many amazing pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. When she is taking pictures you can see how passionate she is about her job and it really shows in the images we received. She also takes the time to edit all the pictures and delete any duplicates so it is not as overwhelming when going through all the pictures.
We had the pleasure of working with Michelle recently when she reached out about floral for a Styled Shoot! From start to finish she was easy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable...
, kind, and the images we received are absolutely STUNNING! We are so thankful that we had to opportunity to work with her, and are looking forward to doing so again in the future! We can't recommend her highly enough if you are looking for a photographer!
Michelle was a FANTASTIC photographer--we couldn't have asked for anything more! She was patient, thorough, and great at her job. Everyone is super impressed with how our engagemen...
t pictures, wedding pictures, and wedding album turned out. She really had our backs before, the day of, and after the wedding, and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. On the day of, she took tons of beautiful shots from every part of the day, including plenty of great candid shots and portraits. During the wedding album design process she was super helpful and patient, and went above and beyond to make sure we got our albums in time for Christmas presents for our parents. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Michelle was phenomenal from the start. Before booking we met up at a Panera to see if we had the same idea for what was important in a photographer. Her packages were reasonably p...
riced and included an engagement session. I never thought I'd want one but boy was I glad to have one. We were able to get comfortable posing in front of a camera and we also learn what poses we liked and what ones we really didn't like. Michelle quickly got us our engagement photos to us. We were able to view and download them from her website!
On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her 2nd shooter were both on time a professional, but since we had the engagement shoot it felt like we were seeing friends again. She made sure to get the shots that I had requested but also captured the details I didn't even think of. After the wedding Michelle again quickly got our photos to us online but then also sent us a beautiful package with a flash drive that included the engagement shoot and some prints as well.
Michelle even took the time for us to look through and find some additional photos of my husbands grandfather after he passed away. She is truly amazing.
We are meeting up later this month to pick out our photo album and I cannot wait!
I cannot recommend Michelle enough, she was spectacular through the entire process. If you want an amazing photographer and wonderful human then she is your girl!
Where do I even begin?!
Michelle was dependable, adaptable, motivated, punctual, reliable and extremely driven. She provided us with SO many amazing photography shots from both ou...
r engagement session and wedding. My husband and I loved her so much, we actually referred her to my best friend who is getting married this May! Fortunately, my best friend decided to hire her for their wedding and I know they will not be disappointed! If you are looking for the best, you found it in Michelle!
Michelle went above and beyond to capture all of the perfect moments of our wedding! The photos that she and her fellow photographer shot are beyond stunning, we could not have ima...
gined a more perfect collection of wedding photos. She has an incredibly creative eye and we love her artistic style that made our wedding photos truly unique and beautiful.
From the beginning of the process of booking her through to the process of making our albums she has been quick to respond to our emails and so professional. She made sure to connect with us every step of the way to gather all of the details for what we wanted, and even suggested things we didn't even think of. We could not be happier, 100% would recommend!

capturing every highlight from our wedding in no time at all. If you're looking for a professional, fun photographer to deliver beautiful, unique photos of your special day, Michelle should be your go to. We really can't recommend her services enough!

I cannot say enough good things about Michelle! From the moment I reached out to her, she was extremely detailed, responsive and a pleasure to work with. My husband and I had a ver...
y small intimate wedding on the beach in my hometown. We hired Michelle to photograph us while we got ready, during the ceremony and for LOTS of portraits after. Michelle offered lots of advice on how to take advantage of the beautiful setting and limited time. She truly helped me think through a lot of details I hadn't taken into account for the day and even offered to scout out additional locations for me, since I live out of town! We are absolutely in love with the photos that Michelle produced. You can tell that she is passionate about her work and truly cares about her clients. We did have a second shooter - although I am drawing a blank on his name - he was equally talented and enjoyable. Overall, wonderful experience. THANK YOU MICHELLE for capturing our special day!!
We are so happy we chose Michelle to photograph our wedding. She worked with us to custom create a package to ensure we got all the photos we wanted within our budget. Always frien...
dly and responsive to all of our questions leading up to the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her assistant Keri were very organized, made us feel relaxed, and managed to snap some wonderful pictures of special moments without being intrusive. Our timeline of events got delayed, but Michelle was super accommodating and willing to stay beyond our agreed end time. The quality and number of photos we received back was beyond our expectations and delivered in a timely manner. Overall, a wonderful experience - 100% recommend.
When we first met Michelle for our engagement photos, we knew she was going to be awesome. There was a river near the spot, and she actually took her shoes off and walked into a ro...
cky river with her camera (which I can only assume cost several thousand dollars) in order to get the angle she wanted for the shot.
She's deeply dedicated to getting the best possible photographs, and she also knows how to make you feel comfortable and natural while taking staged photos, which is especially impressive considering how awkward I am.
The wedding shots are all awesome. We recently looked through the whole album with some family. The images are all amazing: they somehow really get the spirit of our wedding (and the action of our dance moves).
When we got the photos, they came in a really beautiful box and the best-looking USB drive I've ever seen.
Honestly, I don't think there's a harder working photographer out there. This is your one chance to capture every moment of your wedding, and Michelle really did an amazing job. I'm so glad we chose her.
The whole wedding process to me was really overwhelming, and after meeting with Michelle for a short time, she immediately eased my concerns—I can’t say enough good things about he...
r. Michelle met with and talked to us over coffee and really got to know us. This allowed her to tell OUR story in a very photojournalistic way throughout the day of our wedding. She was timely, accurate, and dependable. She went out of her way to speak to our wedding coordinator directly to ensure things went as planned. Anything I asked her to do, she delivered. I changed the timeline a couple times (and my mind a million times), and she bounced right back with a new plan. She was flexible, easy to work with, and an extremely talented artist. Michelle is probably one of the most driven people I’ve met in her work, and she catered to what I had in mind for my photos, while still holding true to her own, incredible aesthetic. The final product is something I will treasure forever, and I can’t thank Michelle or recommend her enough.
Michelle was a pleasure to work with and provided us with the most stunning photos! She worked with us to reschedule our engagement photo session twice due to weather, and ran the ...
whole photography show the day of, making sure we got all the photos we wanted and that everyone was where they needed to be for things to move efficiently. Her second photographer, Justin, was also wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed working with both of them! She gave us the most beautiful sneak preview of our photos about a week after the wedding, which included many more photos that we could have imagined for a sneak preview, and they were all beautiful. We’re so happy we found Michelle, and would recommend her to anyone!
