Michelle Wirth Photography is a wedding photography business based in New Brighton, MN. Michelle Wirth is a wedding and elopement photographer in the Twin Cities. Her goal is to photograph not only her clients' wedding days but also capture the essence of who couples are together. As a former journalist, she sees wedding celebrations as unfolding stories, and she's delighted to help couples capture the prologues of their lives together.
Michelle's photo sessions are fun and adventurous so that it feels like you are making memories rather than posing for a camera. She focuses on a candid and documentary-style approach for most of the day, but will also take charge during portraits. During bridal party and couple portraits, she likes to use prompts to create a more natural and authentic experience which prevents that awkward feeling of someone having a camera in your face.
All wedding day packages offered by Michelle Wirth Photography include a complimentary engagement session. This way, you can not only get beautiful photos to remember your engagement, but you will also get to know your photographer before your wedding. Your photos will be delivered to you fully edited, in a high-resolution format, and ready to print and enjoy.

I have been doing photography for over 10 years—first as a newspaper journalist , a marketing professional, and now in weddings and lifestyle. I have an adorable Australian cattle dog mix named Nova, I love a good glass of cabernet sauvignon, and I'm love to travel. Hiking Trolltunga in Norway is one of my favorite memories, and next up is visiting Turkey!

We would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone!! From the moment we met, she made us feel incredibly comfortable, like we were working with a lifelong friend. Her kind, attentive nature instantly put us at ease, and her professionalism throughout the process was unmatched.
Michelle was always on time, well-prepared, and highly organized, which made every step of the journey stress-free. She was a true master of capturing the small details—whether it was a small sentimental bracelet, the homemade table arrangements, or the way the sunlight hit just right. The candid pictures she and her second photographer took of our loved ones during both big and small moments were breathtaking and truly priceless.
One of the things we loved most was how seamlessly the two of them blended into the celebration. Half the time, we didn’t even notice they were taking pictures, yet the images perfectly told the story of our day. Michelle’s fun and creative ideas added so much to the experience, especially when we didn’t know how to pose or what direction to take.
Her editing work was also stunning, enhancing the photos beautifully without ever feeling overdone. She seemed to always be one step ahead of us, anticipating what we’d need before we even thought to ask. Michelle also suggested the perfect location for our engagement session, which resulted in some of our favorite pictures ever.
The second photographer was equally kind, professional, and talented, creating even more opportunities to capture the magic of the day. We felt like we had a dream team working with us.
Thanks to Michelle, we now have a collection of memories we will cherish forever. She truly went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her incredible work!

We had Michelle capture our perfect day and engagement photos in Grand Rapids MN. Through out the whole process she was so kind, responsive and professional. On the big day her and her staff were so so well prepared and were seamless in capture all the little and big moments. The one thing me and my husband talked about most is how we never even knew she was there in moments such as our first dance and ceremony. Because of this there were absolutely no distractions and we were able to fully be present in the moments that mattered to us most. Additionally she is so timely with editing and the quality of photos we received are stunning and we have heard roaring reviews from all of our friends and family. I could not recommend Michelle enough for all of your wedding or personal photography needs! We will definitely be using her in our future milestones!

Michelle Wirth was our absolute favorite vendor in our wedding! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She was so helpful every step of the wedding planning. She did our engagement photoshoot and we LOVED every photo. Her personality was just what we were looking for in a vendor- her calm, professional, and fun personality made it so easy to get along with her right from the beginning. Michelle even helped put together the timeline of our wedding day from getting ready all the way to the ceremony and reception events. I chose not to have a day of coordinator for my wedding but with Michelle's organization and help with the timeline I almost felt like I had a day of coordinator! We had our full wedding photo gallery to us before the contracted promise date and we were absolutely in love with every photo she took. She truly captured so many moments of our day that we will never forget. We will absolutely choose Michelle Wirth for future photography needs.

Michelle did our engagement and elopement pictures, and I couldn't be any happier with our experience and how they turned out! The attention to detail, the use of lighting and environment, the posing, and capturing the candids of us being us were all spot on. I am so in love with how well she captured all the little moments. We had a blast, and I can't wait for her to take more family pictures in the future!
