Michelle Vila Photography

Michelle and her team went above and beyond to capture our wedding. Her attention to detail, creativity and just how comfortable we all were with her made our day that much more enjoyable. I got my photos and WOW! Stunning!!!! Can’t wait til I see the video!! Totally recommend with eyes closed lol!

Wonderful to work with!! Great communication & amazing photos. We couldnt be happier with how they turned out.

Michelle is extremely professional and organized. She ensured that all the pictures that we wanted were taken, she worked on a schedule and ensured it was followed to the T. Very fun to work with and with great vision of what beautiful pictures can be taken. 100% recommended!!!!!

It’s been a year since my wedding day but I will never forget Michelle! She did our engagement session as well. All of our photos were beautiful and capture the day as it was meant to be. Michelle was extremely professional, supportive, easy to contact, and discreet. I am so grateful for her and her team! During a couple stressful Bride moments Michelle went out of her way to keep calm and focused. She exceeded my expectations and did more than she needed to. Looking at my pictures one year later, brings back all the happy and beautiful memories of that day. Thank you Minerva Photography, I am forever grateful.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! I am so glad we used Michelle and Carlos for our wedding pictures. Michelle was there every step of the way and helped make our day so special. She really knows how to make the wedding day flow smoothly from start to finish. Every picture was so perfect and special.

Michelle is amazing! Her photos are beyond beautiful and she is so professional and fun! I can’t recommend her enough!

Carlos and Michelle are perfection! Their patience, professionalism and personalities are amazing and we just loved working with them. They prepare you with time lines and their timely responsiveness is on point! We were very fortunate to have found them!

Michelle and Carlos were AMAZING!! My husband and I loved working with them, and have been so happy with the photos we received. They are professional, but also great to be around! Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough great things about Minerva Photography! We used them for both our engagement shoot and our wedding and we loved their work on both! It was so great working with a husband and wife team as they truly work like a fine-tuned machine. They both were so personable, and so organized throughout the entire process. Also, their pricing is a steal for the service and quality they provide. I highly recommend them and look forward to using them in the future!

We were really pleased with using Minerva Photography for our wedding. Michelle at Minerva Photography is really on top of her game. She was very organized and helped us build a timeline in advance that would work for our day. On our big day she was all set to capture the pictures that we wanted and the candid photos that we didn't know that we wanted ahead of time. She is really creative in getting good shots and most importantly the quality of her photography is outstanding.

Choosing Minerva Photography for our wedding day was the BEST decision we made!!! Our engagement photos came out perfect and I know our wedding photos came out just as good. While other vendors can be a headache to work with, Michelle was so helpful throughout the entire process. I had other wedding questions and was able to text her and she was happy to help! (Even if it had nothing to do with photography!) She made us feel so comfortable and pays close attention to detail to make sure every photo is perfect. Her and her husband make a great team! Another great thing is there is no limit to the amount of photos you get, you will find them all on the online gallery. Michelle, thanks so much for everything you did for us. You were amazing and I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know! You're the best!

Michelle was a exceptional. I worked with her from my engagement pictures all the way through my wedding day and i cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with her. From providing a timeline for the wedding day to her sweetness and attention to detail-overall super happy. The pictures came out amazing, super happy with them!! Thank you both and I definitely will remain as a client for future events!

Michelle and Carlos were fantastic! We planned our wedding long distance, but with a few Skype meetings and one in person we felt so confident that Michelle's personality and skills were just what we were looking for. She and her husband, Carlos are a great, easy-going but in charge, confident and professional team. My family is a little complicated, but the way they run the family portraits there were no issues. She had my Pinterest board printed out, and made sure that we took all the photos that we wanted. During the reception, we got several compliments about how well they blended into the crowd (having been to weddings where the photographers can get in the way on the dance floor).

MINERVA PHOTOGRAPHY IS AMAZING!!!! If you're debating between photographers, stop right now. Michelle and her husband Carlos are hands down the best you will find. They are extremely talented, sweet, funny, excellent communicators and very professional. On my wedding day, the weather outlook was not good. After our first look, with storm clouds looming, Michelle made sure to take extra bride and groom portraits at the hotel even though it wasn't in our official schedule. I am so thankful that she did because by the time we got to the venue, it was POURING. The rain didn't deter them and after it let up a bit (after 20 minute sitting in the car), she made sure we got all of the pictures we wanted as quickly and efficiently as possible. In my moments of utter stress and terror from the rain (my ceremony and cocktail hour were supposed to be outside), Michelle's calm demeanor made me calm and she got everything done with limited time. All of our pictures are absolutely gorgeous! I could not be happier with the outcome. My husband and I are so thrilled with the outcome and plan to use Minerva Photography for all of our photography needs in the future.

What can we say about Minerva Photography? Michelle and her husband Carlos shot my sisters wedding a little more than 3 years ago, so when I got engaged my photographer was already a given since we loved all the pictures from my sisters wedding and Michelle. She was beyond awesome to work with but is also incredibly professional. But my now husband hates taking pictures! while I was able to convince him to take engagement pictures, it was really so I could make sure he was comfortable with Michelle, which I knew would happen! Not only was he comfortable (he actually let me do an wardrobe change), but Michelle got some incredible shots of us and some emotion from him! Not an easy task. To say that our engagement pictures came out incredible is an understatement!! Fast forward to our wedding day: So when it came the big day, Michelle and Carlos were everywhere we needed them to be! I knew I'd be completely comfortable but I was worried about husband, sure enough (even though he was sick of pictures), Michelle was able to get some great pictures! Her eye and attention for details in every shot can be seen in every single picture! We also had a lot of family shots we had to have as well as others to avoid. Michelle was able to navigate through all of it with such ease! While I wasn't able to get all of my family shots before because we were running late all day, Michelle even made it happen in the middle of the dance floor during our reception! Even the raw images of our 1st look made me want to cry! I have no doubt that the rest of our wedding pictures will be even more incredible! Hiring Minerva Photography again was one of the best decisions we made! We cannot wait to see the finished pictures of the night and relive it all over again!

Minerva Photography saved our wedding! When our old photographers abandoned us one week before the wedding we had no idea what to do, as we scrambled to find someone new. Michelle called me and let me know it was going to be okay and she was going to take care of us. With such short notice, she worked above and beyond to make sure she had every detail of what we wanted for our wedding photography. She was extremely punctual and very kind-hearted! She was very organized in the way she planned everything making sure to have a schedule planned. My wife and I both felt so relieved to have found her! The day of our wedding, Minerva Photography showed up on time and made sure everyone felt comfortable. You can tell she had many years of experience, you would see her look at the room, the lighting, the details, and quickly determine where to get the best shot. Even through the bumps on the road (Pun intended, since our limo broke down) she was able to quickly use her time efficiently to capture more pictures and make sure a minute was not wasted. A week before the wedding we had no photographer, but thanks to Minerva Photography, we now have a plethora of absolutely stunning wedding pictures. As my wife and I sat down to go through our pictures, our eyes water not only because of how wonderful the day was, but because of the fact that we are able to save it forever. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Minerva Photography!

Michelle & Carlos were great to work with! I am so glad I chose them for my wedding photography. They were punctual, very professional and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them!

Minerva Photography was absolutely spectacular and a pleasure to work with. Michelle and her team were punctual, very professional, and amazingly budget friendly. Michelle truly cares about her work and ensures that the bride and groom are happy. We also had several large family portraits and Michelle knows how to get the family staged and photographed in a very timely manner. We received numerous compliments from our guests about our photographer and we would highly recommend Minerva Photography!

Michelle was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The wedding photos were very important for my husband and I - we wanted beautiful and candid shots, and working in the film industry I wanted to be picky when it came to our wedding photos. But from the very first time we met with Michelle, we knew she would be amazing. She's kind and attentive, quick to respond to my email questions, and full of great ideas! We knew we wanted a certain style of photos, but didn't always know how to execute them - Michelle helped with the ideas and in the case of the engagement shoot, with choosing a location. She loves to get creative with her shots, which makes for some amazing photos. And she also has a knack for capturing those quick, blink and you miss them moments. And the best part is we have so many beautiful pictures to choose from now! My husband and I don't even know where to start!!! We definitely can't wait for the after shoot! I would HIGHLY recommend Michelle to all brides! She's extremely talented, creative, her prices are extremely reasonable, and she works with you to get you the shots you want. I could go on and on about all the reasons you should definitely hire her! But just look at her website, the proof is in the photos!

amazing photographer!!!!

When I first met Michelle I was unsure because she's a little shy at first but once you get her going shes great and really adament about doing everything you want. She's not pushy at selling products, she just wants you to be happy. On the wedding day she was excellent. On time, aggresive, everything you want in a photographer. I havent gotten my pictures back yet but she showed me some as they went and they look lovely.

We decided to hire Michelle right after having our first interview and we're so glad we did! She is an amazing photographer, very easy to get along with. She is organized and very professional. Definitely not a cookie cutter photographer, she really thinks outside the box. She makes her services affordable and her pictures amazing. Highly recommend her!

Minerva Photography did a great job they were very patient with us as it was a very hectic day. Me and my husband are very happy with our wedding pictures thanks Michelle.
