About this vendor
Now officially: The Breiter's Photo and Video:
https://thebreiters.com
We're a West Virginia based wedding photo and video duo and we love what we do.
We approach weddings like we do life:
fun, relaxed and natural.
We value real moments over posed perfection and we’ll work our asses off to deliver an experience that looks like how it felt.
How do we do that? We get to know you. We listen to what you want and stay observant throughout the wedding so we don’t miss a thing (we’re like really tall wedding ninjas.)
We offer both photo and video for your wedding, and we’ve been told we work really well together. Being married helps, I’m sure.
If you’re curious about what makes us so good at our jobs, it’s because we care about you. Like actually care about you and your wedding. And even though it may feel like you’re working with friends, we take our jobs pretty seriously (but with some dad jokes and dance-floor beers in the mix.)
Our style may not be for everyone.
We’re sarcastic, energetic, witty, will definitely say ‘y’all’, and may drop an f-bomb here and there. But we make couples feel comfortable, natural and happy, which resonates beautifully in timeless photos.

Michelle was so great to work with. Michelle did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera, its not always easy to pose for pictures. Michelle made it fun and playful and our photos show that, they show that we are having the best time. Having both Michelle and Tom to shoot our wedding was absolutely great. If you don't think you want two shooters, really consider it and do it. Choose Michelle and Tom to shoot your wedding or what ever you need photos of. They will turn our great, the amount of photos will be worth it. Michelle also charged us a very fair and competitive price, and I think we got more than what we paid for. The best part, Michelle would send a couple sneak peaks of the actual photos. It was the best thing knowing that all of the photos would be amazing.
Michelle and Tom were the best photographer & videographer we could of asked for! They both captured our wedding with raw emotions, candid shots and intimate moments. Working with them feels like you have friends cheering you on and supporting you. The flow is natural and organic, and they truly captured our wedding perfectly. Michelle and Tom are so passionate about what they do.
Michelle was easy to work with and shared our love of candid, fun, and intimate photos. She was very attentive to our needs and was able to document our perfect day flawlessly! The photos she presented us with were amazing!
My fiancé and I wanted a photographer that was going to catch the best side of us, the laughter, the silliness etc. We had never had professional pictures done before so we were worried about being too awkward in front of the camera. Michelle did such an amazing job at making us laugh and making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She loves her job and is so good at what she does! Michelle is perfect for the job, she’ll make you laugh and feel comfortable and give you memorable photos that will last a lifetime. She’s a badass and I’d recommend her to anyone! ♥️
My fiancé and I had such a great time working with Michelle for our engagement pictures! We originally were going to elope so we booked Michelle for those photos, however, we changed our plans and she was flexible in accommodating our change to engagement pictures instead. She kept us laughing which helped us to relax and enjoy the experience. Michelle did such a fantastic job with our photos; I’m still in awe over how gorgeous they turned out!
Michelle is simply put, the BEST photographer we could have had for our engagement shoot and wedding. From the jump she made us feel comforted in knowing that she was LGBT friendly and was eager to give us exactly what we were looking for. My wife and I are not used to getting photographed, ever, but it felt like hanging out with a good friend in both our engagement and wedding sessions! Our engagement shoot was relaxed, full of laughter, and Michelle made the session so seamless. She focused on what we wanted, was cool with shooting our doggos (we have three so that is no easy feat!), and let us drink beer and do whatever we needed to feel comfortable. We told her that we wanted candid photos, and not to focus on just us for the wedding, and she delivered some outstanding photographs. Michelle made me feel like a GQ model in my three piece suit, and just made me so excited on my wedding day to say I do to the love of my life. We had a pretty low light wedding, which was all the more impressive, and she included all of our dearest friends and family members in our final wedding album. She captured candid, meaningful moments between my wife and I with our family. I am happy to say that we not only came away with a photographer for a lifetime of future events, but a friend as well. I cannot express enough that if you are looking for a LGBT friendly photographer who really cares about what YOU want and delivering that result, look no further than Michelle Breiter. She will blow you away!
My fiancé and I were in a bit of a pickle due to him deploying shortly after the proposal. Michelle got us into our engagement shoot quickly and we were not disappointed! She was able to get my stiff, expressionless marine to loosen up a bit and smile! I feel she was able to capture the true “us” even though we weren’t behind closed doors. We had a such a great time during the shoot and our sneak peak was to die for! If you are looking for someone who likes going for adventures, she is your gal. Looking forward for the whole album and the wedding!
Michelle was so fun to shoot with! She made us feel comfortable, laugh and made everything feel so natural. She had great direction & vision for the shots! So excited to have her through our wedding journey!
We first met Michelle through a mutual work friend, and well she had plenty of personality! That is exactly what you need in a photographer. She had so many great ideas and plenty of energy and motivation to get it all done, but not only that, she was also super professional. She was genuine and answered any questions we had and addressed any concerns right away. honestly this was the first time we had ever used a professional photographer and we loved working together with Michelle right from the beginning all the way through to the end. Thanks Michelle!
Man what can I say about Michelle and what she does. One she was our photographer for our engagement and wedding. Two she is so passionate towards photography and capturing the true moment of life and in our case the love my husband and I share. She is very unique in the way she takes photos. For our engagement pictures we went camping with her and her husband and it made the experience that much more fulfilling. During both shoots it wasnt boring and dry, but rather fun and playful. And the quality of picture she takes is completely breathtaking. I definitely reccomend Michelle as a photographer, and now with a little one on the way, we plan to use her services for other shoots.
We used Michelle for both engagement photos and our wedding. I can’t say enough about the level of work she does. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Her funny and care free spirit really helps ease those jitters you may have being in front of the camera. She truly captured the love my husband and I share in her photos!
Words cannot describe how much we love this lady and her work! She was seriously such a huge blessing to us. As a same sex couple she made us feel so comfortable and accepted and loved. She’s hilarious and so talented. She was able to uniquely able to capture our love and individual personalities. Our favorite part of our pictures was how genuine and happy we looked in all of them. Her style and editing is beautiful. We really feel so lucky to have her as part of our big day. I can’t say enough positive things. Really, GO BOOK HER NOW.
I couldn't be any happier with my engagement photos! Michelle truly captured genuine smiles and sincere laughter between my fiance and me. The pictures are a great representation of how excited we are to start our life together as husband and wife!
I had no idea where to start when searching for a wedding photographer, but I knew I had a certain vision for my big day and I wanted to find someone who could capture that for me. Finding Michelle was such a dream
come true. The moment I saw her work I knew she would be perfect for my small, intimate forest wedding in the mountains . Her style and ability to capture moments so beautifully caught my eye right away.
Michelle really cares about her subjects and she knows how to bring out their best attributes. My husband is not the most camera friendly person and she was able to really pull him out of his shell and he was so amazed and impressed with the album.
Michelle came to my as a photographer but became a member of the family. She helped us in so many ways and went way above and beyond the job she was there to do. She helped us set up and even helped some of the ladies get ready.
The end results were so beautiful I couldn’t help but she’d tears while going through the album she created for us. I relive that day every time I view the work she did for us. She even sped up the editing process to ensure that me and my husband could view the album together before he went away for work. She did this simply because it meant a lot for her to make sure our experience was the best it could be.
Michelle is a gem of a photographer and a true artist. Anyone who is lucky enough to work with her will quickly realize that. I felt so comfortable and trusting with her as my photographer and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
I will treasure my wedding photos for the rest of my days as will my family and children. And this is all thanks to the care and love Michelle put into the project. She captured all of us and my day so perfectly.
I would recommend Michelle to anyone I know!
I talked my soon to be hubby into doing a "elopement" shoot on the Alvord Desert before our wedding with Michelle. To say the least, we were both nervous. Michelle made us feel comfortable, excited, and most of all, beautiful. She puts passion into her work and you can see that in every picture she takes. After meeting Michelle, I felt like I had known her for years. She's fierce, kind, a complete bad ass, but most of all she is real. We love our photos & we loved sharing them at our "real" wedding. To be honest, they are our favorite pictures we have ever took. Stop looking & book Michelle. She is your lady! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!
Michelle makes you feel so comfortable - AND gets the best photos as a result. I normally feel super uncomfortable in front of a camera but she was so relaxed, played music and got me talking (as opposed to just telling me to pose and try a few different positions). I can’t recommend her enough.
I love Michelle! She is super fun and very interactive. My fiance and I aren't super comfortable behind a camera, but Michelle made us feel so comfortable. She had us do fun games that helped us feel good and enjoyed our time. I absolutely love her style and editing. She is incredibly talented with her photography skills. She also got our pictures back to us very quickly, despite some technical difficulties. We got quite a few back as well, which was great! She does a lot of wonderful things for a really great price! I would 100% recommend her to anyone I know.
Michelle made us feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed during our engagement photo session. She captured us as a couple, perfectly. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to any and every bride!
