About this vendor
I’m Michelle, a wedding photographer with a
mission to tell sweet love stories through
beautiful images. Wedding photography is
my passion and my calling, and I am so grateful
for each couple I have the honor of working
with.
I have had the opportunity to be a part of over
80 wedding days in the last 3 years and have
loved every second of it! I have photographed
weddings from Paris to Georgia and right here
in Indy, and I can't get enough!
I live for those small and special moments that
take place on your wedding day, but I also want
to make sure that I am portraying your love
story just the way it is! I always make it my
priority that your true self shines through in
these images something you cherish, but for your
future family to see them one day and say “ look
how in love they were!

Michelle was amazing to work with and I can't recommend her highly enough! She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with and did such a great job capturing our day. She even knew when the sun was setting and grabbed us for another session of photos, which turned out to be some of our favorites (the lighting was fantastic). I had no idea a photographer would be so thoughtful and detail oriented throughout the process and we loved the collection of pictures that documented our special day.
Michelle is worth every penny! She did our engagement and wedding photos - they are beyond beautiful! She is professional, efficient and made the day an enjoyable experience. Her wedding outline was extremely detailed and gave us peace of mind before our big day. She was always friendly and responded in a timely manner to all my questions.
Michelle did such a fantastic job on our wedding photos!!! After postponing our destination wedding twice, we decided to cancel it entirely and replanned a wedding at home in a month. Michelle answered all of our questions extremely quickly and her portfolio instantly wowed us. Photos were the #1 thing that were most important to us because we will have them forever and I can’t say enough great things about how ours turned out! We’ve gotten so many compliments on them and I may have already gotten way too many prints, canvas’s and mementos of them. Haha
Michelle is awesome. She is both professional and personal. She has been alongside my husband and I throughout the whole wedding process. Our engagement photos had lots of variety and reflected us as people with unique personalities. In the planning stages Michelle was very organized and helped us clarify our shot lists and timelines. Sadly, covid-19 got in the way of our big day but even in the midst of this she has been encouraging and flexible. Highly recommend working with Michelle Poteet!
Michelle was very nice to work with and did a beautiful job with the photos, the overall feel of them is exactly the romantic feel we were hoping for. We got them back VERY quickly, like 5 days after the wedding, but there were some quick edits that didn't seem to have been done, like editing out dirt on a wall behind me in a few of the photos, big smudges on a mirror, things like that which I easily fixed. And the day of, there was a little lack of attention to detail, like most of our family photos are off center from the background and we don't have any good photos straight on of my husband and me, one of us is always turned. In general excellent, high quality photos, and we have gotten a ton of compliments, but missing on a few details.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Michelle. She was so kind and helpful throughout the entire planning process and on the day of our wedding. She made us both feel comfortable while getting our picture taken, which usually isn't the case for either of us. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Michelle is an incredible photographer - her photos (and editing style) possess a uniquely whimsical, fairlytale-like quality. While she is adept at catching those candid shots that make you remember those special moments of your day, she is also highly skilled at organizing the wedding day photography in order to get all necessary portraits done in the time allowed. Additionally she does an excellent job at making couples feel comfortable and at ease behind the camera. We had such a fun time during our engagement session! My husband and I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an exceptional photography experience.
We can’t thank Michelle enough!! I was pretty nervous when I first started looking for a wedding photographer. Our #1 request as a couple was to have images to look back on that not only would depict our love for one another, but would also show the blending of 2 different cultures becoming one. We were SO happy we found a photographer like Michelle who is not only experienced with photographing multi-cultural weddings, but personally understood our vision.
She also did an AMAZING job on picking poses that didn’t make my husband & I’s height difference look so awkward, which I gotta say is a hard task considering my husband is 6”11
I wouldn't recommend a better photographer!! Not to mention, she has an insane turn around time on all her photos!! We received sneak peaks of not only our engagement pictures but also our wedding pictures in under 24 hours & received our full gallery within only a few days!!
We are forever grateful for Michelle & Rakoteet Photography ❤️❤️❤️
Michelle was amazing! She worked so well with a big bridal party and we absolutely LOVE our photos. We had a sneak peak that night and she returned our entire gallery (several hundred beautifully edited photos) before we were back from our honeymoon. Can’t thank her enough!
Michelle is a FANTASTIC photographer! Definitely recommend!
First off, her style of editing and aesthetic was everything I didn’t know I needed. Her photos come out so clean and beautiful she makes you feel like a work of art! My fiancé and I have a huge height difference so photographing us can be challenging. She was able to direct and give us poses, which all came out stunning! We are so pumped to work with Michelle for our wedding next year!
Michelle is hands down the best photographer! Worth every penny as she puts so much love, effort, and compassion into her work and making sure she captures everything that you are picturing for your wedding and so much more. She is emotionally invested in her work and you can tell she truly loves what she does. She has an amazing turn around time and every shot is edited perfectly! Snag her while you can!
Hire Michelle!
We can't say enough good things about Michelle! She offers the highest value for her work, given the amazing quality of her photos and the price of her packages. Her turnaround time for delivering photos is truly unparalleled. She lives up to her promise of delivering photos within 2 weeks, as we got our engagement photos back in 2 days and our wedding photos in just 1 week! She spends personal time scouting out locations to make sure each shoot runs as smoothly as possible. We also appreciated her being flexible on our wedding day when we decided to change photo locations last minute. Not only is Michelle punctual and professional in person and via email, she is also incredibly personable and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We absolutely LOVE all of the wedding photos she has already delivered to us and can't wait to have them printed. Michelle takes great care of her clients, and she and Andry were an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day!
Michelle was the best photographer we could have asked for!! She did an incredible job with our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures! On the day of the wedding she was so helpful! She shared with us how much time she needed for all of the pictures she was going to take, so we were able to come up with a schedule. She was so great and patient when doing family pictures too!
Michelle did such a wonderful job on our engagement shoot and we are beyond excited to have her doing our wedding next fall! She made two people who are not used to being photographed feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. I would also like to add that she got us our photos in less than 24 hours completely edited! Love love love her work!
I've witness Michelle's dedication to her craft first hand and I have never met anyone who was more motivated, professional and passionate about what they do. Time and time again, I've seen Michelle exceed bride expectation though capturing memories that would last them a life time. She uses all aspects of technology and photography best practices to ensure you as a bride have a smooth experience from start to finish so I would highly recommend any bride to hire Michelle because you will not regret it!
Michelle was great and she got my photos back to me within two days! It was amazing. She also took my feedback from our engagement shoot to make our wedding day photos as "us" as possible. The only things I didn't love were based on my own planning mistakes. I wish I had asked Michelle to come later so she could stay for more of the reception. And I also wish I had left more time for couples photos (but I was also not enjoying the outdoor heat - not sure I would have looked good for many more!).
Michelle and Andry were amazing! From our Engagement session to our wedding day, they captured everything I had every envisioned! The photos were beautiful, BREATHTAKING! Still haven't ordered any prints, because it is so hard to choose a favorite...(might just have to order them all)! Wanting to book again for 1 year anniversary photos!
