Fifteen years from now, I want to look at my wedding pictures and remember how I felt that day. Michele's photography is unique. She is somehow able to capture the raw emotion.Her communication is excellent, she is thorough, extremely easy to work with and a really hard worker. She was actually eight months pregnant on my wedding day, and she didn't miss a beat. Everyone in our wedding party was impressed with Michele and beyond amazed with the results, which came less than two weeks after our wedding.

At the outset, I should disclose that Michele is a friend of mine. That said, when my partner and I decided to get married, we knew that we wanted to hire her as our photographer.I've followed and enjoyed Michele's work for many years, ever since she was a photographer for my hometown newspaper. Since then, I've watched her grow as a photojournalist and apply the talent she developed in that arena to her work as a wedding and family photographer.As a same-sex couple, shopping for wedding services can feel a little bit fraught. Thankfully, we didn't have any bad experiences, but along with all the other things to deal with while planning a wedding, there's also the worry that somebody will be weird about making you a cake with two grooms on top of it or something. Knowing Michele personally as we did, we knew that that wouldn't be a problem, but we were also impressed with her previous work as a photographer at a diverse variety of weddings, including same-sex weddings.It has been eight months since the wedding, and as I look back at the photos Michele took, I get a real sense of the story of the day. The staged portraits and photos of the ceremony are beautiful, but the thing that really sets Michele's work apart is the candid shots she took before the ceremony and during and after the reception. Together with the more formal shots, Michele's candid work really captured the personalities of the friends and family that made our day so special.I find that when wedding photography is merely competent, it can have a cookie-cutter quality about it. Michele's work, in addition to being formally excellent, also has an empathetic and perceptive quality that sets her apart. The wedding photos she takes for you won't just be pictures of a wedding, they will be pictures of YOUR wedding.

Michele took our wedding photos and she did an amazing job! We wanted someone laid-back who would prioritize documenting little moments and true expressions throughout the day, and Michele met that exactly. She was on the ball and went with the flow when there were a couple last-minute decisions or changes. Before the wedding we had thought about hiring a second shooter given our relatively large wedding, but it would have been unnecessary because Michele managed to be seemingly everywhere finding the most important interactions and moments, and I think nearly all of our guests show up in at least one photo (especially the kids!). She got us the edited photos faster than we expected, and was helpful and communicative through the whole process. She was also very affordable for her level of expertise.

We were lucky enough to have Michelle photograph our wedding and she was fantastic. Fun to work with and still professional and efficient. And she has a great eye when it comes to photography. Would whole-heartedly recommend to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion!
