Mishelle was amazing, my husband and I loved working with her. She was our photographer for our wedding in June 2023 and she has a eye for capturing the best pictures. She kept us ...
on schedule, made sure we got all of the family photos with our huge family. Couldn't have asked for better photos. Thank you Mishelle!
We hired Mishelle to photograph our daughter's wedding in the Spring of 2023. The photographs of our daughter and her now husband are beautiful! She was very organized on the weddi...
ng day, taking photographs of the wedding party and different combos of people. Mishelle was a calm and reassuring presence.
The engagement photographs are beautiful, too. She seems to specialize in outdoor spaces.
Really appreciates that she found some quiet moments for me and my daughter, and my son-in-law and his mother.
Thank you!
Mishelle captured my intimate wedding in June of 2022. I am so thankful for her warmth and expertise. I never worried a single second that the photos weren’t going to be fabulous a...
nd I was right. Mishelle captured the day authentically and gave us a lifetime of memeories.
Biggest regret of my wedding day? Hiring Mishelle. She’s SUPER responsive when you’re trying to hire her but after you’ve signed your contract, it’s radio silence. She’s great at m...
aking you feel like you are sooo lucky to have her as a photographer.
She charges $5700 for an engagement photo shoot, 8 hours of photography on day of with 2 shooters (herself and a friend).
We were traveling from out of town for the engagement photos. It took multiple emails (like 5) to get her to respond to a date that could work for us so that we could buy our flights.
Our engagement photos weren’t great. She tends to shoot from below, which wasn’t the best angle for my husband or me. There’s very little direction from her (I.e. put your hand on his chest). She does do a good job of feeling like the photos she’s taking are fabulous during the shoot.
On the day of, she likes to claim that she “takes charge” which I thought I’d like. She’s not lying, she takes charge but doesn’t pay attention to the schedule. She made me 30 min late to my own wedding bc she was taking pics and not paying attention to the time. My family actually said they thought I was getting cold feet.
I kept giving her the benefit of the doubt, but we finally got our photos over 3 months after the wedding. I cried when I got them, and not for a good reason. The photos are terrible. They’re unedited…..there’s trash in the background of my bridal portraits that she chose to not edit out. She put a filter on all of them but it just washes us out. I do not have a single one of my mom and me that’s in focus. She took a million of my husband and me but I can’t find one that I like. It is truly disappointing.
I don’t have a single photo from cocktail hour, no photos of our signature cocktail signs, no photos of our beverage napkins. It’s like she was just shooting random things that aren’t in focus. To top it off, multiple people came up to me and asked who my photographer was bc she was so crabby during the day.
I will be asking her to edit our photos further…tbd. I would never recommend Mishelle.
Mishelle was super easy to work with and was on top of everything! She provides her clients a website/workspace to share their vision, timeline, and ask any questions. We've seen s...
neak peak photos of our wedding day on Instagram and they look AMAZING! We can't wait to see the rest of our photos and believe we picked the best person to capture our special day
Mishelle was a dream to work with on our wedding day! She captured our day so beautifully. She is an incredibly talented photographer. She helps you feel at ease and I was relaxed ...
throughout the process on our wedding day. I highly recommend her!

ith our timeline and made sure we were staying on schedule. We couldn't of asked for a more perfect photographer!
Mishelle was the first vendor I booked once I secured my wedding date. I knew I wanted to work with her as I loved the way she captured moments in an organic way that felt warm and...
bright.
It turns out that not only do her photos have that quality but she does as well. She was simply a dream to work with and was able to give us cues to be relaxed in front of the camera and made sure we had fun. She listened to my vision as well as let me in on her wealth of experience and perspective to make sure my engagement photos and wedding photos were exactly what I wanted. I haven’t even gotten my entire album back yet, but if only got the sneak preview of photos she’s sent so far, I would be content. I am so happy to have these treasures that take me right back to my wedding day so I can relive the love and happiness I felt that day over and over again.
Mishelle is honestly incredible! She made us comfortable our entire engagement shoot and made us feel important the whole time, never rushing just living in the moment which we lov...
ed. She gave us super helpful advice for our big day coming up, overall extremely experienced and more than welcoming. We have already recommended her to many friends! She’s an incredible artist who truly loves what she does.
Mishelle was amazing from start to finish! She is a strong presence with an amazingly positive attitude and had a flawless system in place to make the process as easy as possible....
We had an amazing engagement shoot, where we chose to go to her studio in Ann Arbor, on a SUPER hot summer day! Not sure how she did it, but the pictures turned out perfectly even though I was sure my hair and makeup were in ruins :) On our wedding day, Mishelle ensured we captured all of our important family photos and used her creativity and experience to take amazing pics of our venue and to guide us on things such as where to shoot our first look!
10/10 would recommend!
Kindnest, most supportive photographer there EVER was. Mishelle has been with us through every step of this pandemic wedding planning and has provided us with calm advice as we fe...
lt anxious. Her photos are INCREDIBLE but her kind and thoughtful nature really set her apart. We can't wait for her to shoot our special day soon! Thank you, Mishelle!
From my first conversation with Mishelle to the very end of my wedding day, she was extremely helpful, supportive, understanding, and organized! I actually told her she should incl...
ude wedding coordinator in her title in addition to wedding photographer! She helped with timelines, day of schedule, and keeping us on track. There is always so much that goes into a wedding day and she was so positive the entire day. By the end of the day I didn’t want her to leave! She went above and beyond for our wedding and I felt like she really prioritized my husband and myself and wanted us to soak in all of those moments that go by so quickly. She also gave us a great pep talk before shooting and was extremely positive throughout the day and attentive to our needs as a couple (I.e. asking us how we’re doing and checking in, asking if we need anything, etc.). Not to mention, the sneak peak of the pics I’ve seen so far are absolutely amazing. As soon as I saw them all of the memories of our wedding day came flooding back. Even in the sneak peaks I’ve seen she captured so many special moments and details from our day. She is simply the best! I can’t wait to get all of our pics back and cannot recommend her enough!
Look no further, you have found your photographer!!!
Mishelle is absolutely AMAZING! I was planning my wedding from another state so I was never able to meet her until my actual w...
edding day but she ALWAYS made me feel at ease with her fast response emails and phone calls.
I HIGHLY recommend to get a photographer who is professional and in the field of all things wedding and Mishelle is exactly that! She made me and my husband comfortable and not rushed, reminding us that these moments are for us! Just looking at the sneak peek previews I was BLOWN AWAY at how beautiful they turned out. Mishelle has an eye to capture your special day into beautiful photos filled with memories and joy! By the end of the day it felt like we knew her for so long! I am recommending her to everyone I know! Don't miss out and have her be a part of your special day!
We couldn't ask for a better photographer. Mishelle shot three of my husband's best friends weddings and we knew we had to have her for ours. She was extremely professional, orga...
nized, and made us feel like family. Her photos are so natural because you don't realize you're being photographed. Mishelle is very personable and easy to work with. She goes above and beyond your typical wedding photographer. We absolutely loved working with her and hope to continue our relationship sharing future milestones.
Working with Mishelle was the BEST investment we made of our entire wedding!! I use the word investment for 2 very big reasons! First, Mishelle invests her heart and soul into ever...
y encounter you have with her and especially when you are in front of her camera! After meeting her for the first time at our engagement pictures I knew we had picked the right person to capture our big day! She helped make being in front of the camera feel so comfortable and easy and by the end of the night she felt more like a friend then vendor! As the big day neared Mishelle responded to all my emails promptly and went over every detail with me (more than once, because I may be slightly ocd) and eased all of my concerns. With Mishelle I did not have to worry about giving her a must take photo lists or ideas because again she had INVESTED her time into getting to know me and listening to my vision for our big day! And when the big day came she just GOT IT and it was so EASY to work with her and she did an awesome job of making it fun but manageable for us and our bridal party and everyone had a blast working with her. The second reason I use the word investment is because look at her final product, her pictures are killer!! The actual wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye and all you are left with is pictures of the memories and hers do not disappoint. Mishelle has such a way of capturing every special little and big moment and you don’t even notice half the time she is there! She is a true pro!!
Mishelle was amazing! Super professional and fun during the wedding and the photos came out beautifully!
Highly recommended! Mishelle was an amazing wedding photographer!
From the introduction call when we were still researching vendors in the area, through the wedding date, and the ...
delivery of photos, Mishelle has been all around helpful, super responsive and a pleasure to work with.
Mishelle captured our engagement photo shoot on the coast of Michigan where we were engaged. She was very accommodating and made it easy to coordinate dates for a photo shoot that worked with our schedules as we live out-of-state. Mishelle utilized the engagement shoot as an opportunity to get to know us, and our styles to ensure she could bring out the best of us. This was definitely appreciated and evident in our photos.
We purchased the 8-hour package which allowed us time to have photographs taken at the hotel during our "get ready", the first look, and in the evening with sparklers.
Mishelle has great attention to detail and we absolutely loved every photo she sent us. There were no moments missed, and she perfectly balanced the amount of staged and candid photos to capture our day beautifully.
Thank you again, Mishelle!!
Look no further and book Mishelle without ANY hesitation! She is the most amazing photographer and will capture images that will leave you speechless! Her creative and artistic e...
ye is something so special and the images are so soft, romantic, and simply gorgeous. Not only is her work amazing, she has the best personality and is SO fun to work with. She will make you feel comfortable and confident! My husband even loves her! We wish we could have her photograph more events in our life. I am so excited we were able to have Mishelle capture our engagement photos and our wedding day. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed! �
