Michelle is absolutely fantastic! We hired Divine Goddess to do our engagement photos and to cover our wedding, she was fabulous. Michelle is always available for questions along the way, and was a calming, sweet presence the day of the wedding. Michelle and her team are great at getting all of the best shots!! We have loads of photos, such a perfect way to capture such a memorable day. She heard all of our requests (even making sure we got some snaps at our favorite St Auggies monument!!), and had great, fun ideas to get some dramatic pics. Her photography style and eye are very unique; most photographers can get your "standard" wedding shots, she really goes above and beyond to capture the moment (climbing on top of things, laying on the ground, using fun lighting and different techniques). If you want to hire a photographer that will provide you with true pieces of art to preserve your Wedding (or engagement, baby shoots, etc.) - I cannot recommend Michelle and her team enough. <3
Michelle was amazing! She was with us the whole day and didn’t miss a minute. Her work is stunning and we had our gallery ready right away, too.
Michelle is absolutely amazing!! Each photos from the engagement photos to the wedding photos blow me away! She’s so much fun to work with, my husband is not one for taking pictures and she made it so enjoyable and fun! She’s very organized and keeps to the schedule that is provided to her! She is so creative with the pictures she takes! On our wedding day we had extra time and ended up doing night time photos, which was so much fun because we got to sneak away for a little bit and we did a mini shoot at night! These pictures turned out to my one of my favorites!! I HIGHLY recommend Michelle with Divine Goddess!
Love our pictures from Michelle!
She caught our best moments and worked so well with us.
We’re not the type of couple that likes lovey dovey pictures and as soon as we mentioned this to Michelle she immediately switched styles and made us very comfortable.
She told me how to pose and what to do with my hands but also let us tell her what we wanted and how we wanted out of our pictures. Our pictures are BEAUTIFUL!! Elegant and sophisticated just like I wanted!
Thank you so much Michelle it was truly a pleasure
I've worked with Michelle many times, so I knew she would be the right fit for my wedding. Her pictures are phenomenal and I am blessed to have such an awesome photographer that I know. I recommend her to everyone. She made the big day so easy.
We really enjoyed working with Michelle, she is very professional, she worked very well with my other vendors and she takes great shots. I would recommend Michelle every single time because she is absolutely the best at what she does, she did my engagement shoot and wedding and If you are looking for some amazing memories Divine Goddess is who you need to book with no doubt. You will not be disappointed. Oh I can’t forget to mention her team, they all just rock, they are all so sweet and such a pleasure to be around. We had such a great time. I just thank them soooo much for everything. Michelle, you go girlllllll!!!!
Michelle has a gift, and I highly recommend her for your event. Not only is Michelle an award winning photographer, she's an excellent coordinator. Michelle takes away the stress of your event and did so with our wedding to where we never had to worry about anything, she plans every moment and makes every detail feel particularly unique. Much of what makes Michelle a gifted photographer is knowing her craft so well, that every shot she takes has the potential for an incredible photo that has the potential for award winning excellence. I certainly hope you consider Michelle for your event because I know you'll have an incredible experience.
Michelle is so amazing. She’s super organized and really fun to work with. She did our engagement session, my boudoir session and our wedding! She’s super easy to contact and really cares about you from beginning to end. We are in love with all our pictures and I can’t wait to use her again for my newborn session!
Our family has worked with Michelle for 2 years and we always are impressed with the photos and service we receive! 🥳 We have entrusted her with capturing our big family moments including our engagement 💍, wedding 👰🏻, maternity 🤰🏻, and newborn 🍼 life events (even my boudoir shoot 😳)! It’s not always easy being in front of a camera, Michelle has a way of making you comfortable with her wonderful relatability and sense of humor! Michelle always goes above and beyond to make sure we love our photos! Shes even had some of our photos published which was a really fun experience for us and our family! She’s always excited to try something new and expand her already amazing skills! We are so happy to have found Michelle with Divine Goddess Photography and are fortunate to now call her not only our photographer, but our friend! ❤️
Michelle is not only a joy to work with but her work speaks for themselves. Don’t just take my words for it, she got awards to back it up!
It took me years to find someone that can produce the quality of work I was searching for. It’s safe to say I finally found my person.
She not only did my very first family photo but also my newborn and cake smash photo for my youngest. I love that she has such a fun and easy going personality. She also listens and brings your vision to life through her work.
She’s forever stuck with me. Book this gal you won’t be disappointed!
We love Michelle on a personal and professional level! She shot our engagement photos and will be shooting our wedding next week.
Her fun personality and breath taking images are worth any investment. You can not go wrong trusting Michelle with your wedding day! Her team is pretty awesome as well :)
Divine Goddess Photography was GREAT to work with. We had both engagement and wedding photos and the whole experience was wonderful. We absolutely loved our photographers and all of our photos were ready to view very quickly after our wedding! This company did a great job making every part of our experience very easy and fun, allowing me to be at ease on my special day! Also, Michelle is great about being flexible and getting back with emails and phone calls right away.
The company is located at Jacksonville, FL; still, they were more than willing to move around for us since our wedding was in Miami, FL and we took our engagement pictures at Palm Coast, FL. For Michelle, her company is her passion and each picture is an art piece. I absolutely recommend her 100%!!!!
Michelle is absolutely amazing!! She is very kind and professional. All of our wedding photos turned out beautiful, and she captured all of those special moments and then some! Michelle was very helpful throughout the entire process, and we can't thank her enough. We were truly fortunate to have found Michelle, and now we have the most amazing photos because of it!! Thank you so much, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer on our special day!!
Michelle Shaffer and Divine Goddess photography is the best all around! Where do I even begin!? First off, Michelle’s professionalism, kindness and knowledge of the trade is top notch!! She goes the extra mile for her clients and delivers nothing but the best! Divine goddess is our entire family’s go-to when it comes to capturing life’s most important moments! From engagement to weddings, to maternity, and newborn photo shoots you name it, we have used her and will continue to do so! You will not be disappointed!!
Completely amazing! My husband to be and myself are the posey picturing taking kind of people. From reaching out to Michelle to book the session to every step she guided us and made us feel soo comfortable. Absolutely love her work and her personality!
Coming from the UK it was quite a worry if we could find someone to suit us and have good communication on the approach to the day. Thankfully Michelle was awesome and accommodating. We spoke regularly and felt in very good hands that we had picked the best person to capture our day. Our photos are better than we hoped and we are truly grateful to Divine Goddess.
I don’t even know where to begin. Michelle is absolutely amazing, not only at her craft but as a person in general! I reached out to her with a very special photo shoot in mind, and she went above and beyond to make it everything I dreamed of! All of my friends went crazy over my photos, because they were out of this world! As a photographer myself, I can be very picky. But Michelle made sure that everything was perfect. What are you waiting for? Just book her now!
My experience with Divine Goddess photography from our first point of contact right up to the wedding day and beyond had been with such ease. Michelle is professional, yet very friendly and outgoing which makes her a joy to spend our special day with.
My photos are amazing, I’ve had so many compliments - especially the stunning ones taken on Daytona Beach.
As you can imagine, like many other brides, I felt slightly on edge on my wedding day. Hoping that everything was going to go to plan in the way I had hoped and planned for so long. It is such a comfort to have the Divine Goddess team with you every step of the way, guiding you through and their happy laid back approach really is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for beautiful professional photos from a friendly team to choose Divine Goddess for their own memorable experience.
Michelle was an absolute dream to work with! She did my engagement photos and wedding. I could not be happier with the way my photos turned out. She is the best Your money can buy and worth every penny!
Michelle is the best photographer and made our engagement pictures and wedding day perfect. She does amazing photography and her prices are so reasonable. Great to work with and so professional. Highly recommend her for all your photography needs .
Michelle is absolutely wonderful! She captured our love and playful side for our engagement photos. We were a bit nervous at first, but she immediately made us feel at ease. Michelle is bubbly and energetic and made the entire experience enjoyable! I highly recommend Divine Goddess Photography.
Amazing pictures!!!! Cares about her clients!!! Loved working with her
It was an absolute pleasure working with Michelle! We had such a fun time with her and her assistant. We aren’t from the area, so I picked Michelle as our photographer solely based off of her photos and one initial phone call. We are so happy we did! We had our engagement pictures done at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park (gorgeous!!!) and got married at the Lightner Museum. I know the Museum was a little tough because we got married on a bridge and there’s not very many options for Michelle, as far as where she can capture pictures from, but wow. We are in love with the photos she produced. Thank you so much, Michelle! I highly recommend her!
I don’t even know where to begin with describing how amazing Michelle is from Divine Goddess Photography. She has delivered the best photography experience I could ever imagine. She did both my daughter and sons newborn pictures, my maternity pictures, my parents vow renewal celebration, my nephew’s newborn session and the most recent she captures my brothers engagment. It never fails that someone brings up a picture of these ocassions I mentioned. They are the best pictures I have taken in my life. She is so personable and is always willing to become a better photographer. She knows how to explain what she wants you to do and what I appreciate so much about her is she will make the time for her to be available when you need her. You would never know it, but her heart is so big and sweet that she will always have a smile on her face and enjoy her moment with you even if she may be dealing with something personal. Michelle is more than a friend for us, she is family. There aren’t enough words to thank her for capturing the most unforgettable memories in our lives and for taking us in as family. She gives the best quality pictures, and she goes through every single image and takes her time to edit. She always seeks her clients happiness above all. We love you Michelle!
Divine goddess photography is wonderful! First of all, it took me a year to find the perfect photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding because I truly wanted to find someone that had an eye for photography and who was also passionate about their work. So, when I came across Michelle’s photos and then spoke with her I just knew she was the one to hire for our special day. Michelle and her team are very creative, unique, passionate, and love what they do. I couldn’t be more pleased with our engagement photos and can’t wait for her and her team to capture our special day.
Divine Goddess Photography is a well organized and professional business that provides an amazing service and a high quality product with reasonable prices and accessible payment options.
We are really happy with our wedding pictures and we will definitely recommend their services!!
Michelle did such an AMAZING job on our Engagment and wedding pictures. So friendly, so professional, and talented! Her and her team are so loving and fun. If you are looking for a photographer do not hesatate to hire her! You will not be disappointed! Here is a few pictures from my wedding.
Michelle was wonderfully creative and had an eye for detail! Easy to get along with and my family/guests liked her and the team. Having two people gave us great angles and less stress. I appreciated how dedicated her and the team were to us as a couple but to also keeping things smooth and mostly having GREAT photos!
