I capture candid gesture and emotion with an easygoing, straight-shooting, funny, yet reassuring attitude. You might like my pictures, but if you also like salt, wearing flip flops, animals, laughing and being true to yourself then you might just like me too. I only shoot awesome people, but luckily, only awesome people seem to find me.
Michelle made time to meet and talk with us to understand exactly what we hoped for with our wedding photos. She offered advice and suggestions so we were able to both understand exactly what to expect on wedding day! Our photos came out beautifully with amazing colors!

10 out of 10! Michelle was wonderful. So professional and really got to know us and what type of photos we were looking for. I really felt like she spend time making sure we got all the shots we wanted. In the end it felt like she was a friend. Would absolutely recommend her to our friends and family!

Michelle was great to work with. She's very no nonsense, and more than once told us that ideas we had wouldn't work. It was for the best, because we didn't want to have her spend precious time on something she didn't think would be perfect. If that's fine with you, she's the best photographer you'll find. Every picture she took for us was amazing, and that was before she even retouched them and made them even more amazing. She's very responsive by email, and happy to talk on the phone too. We got albums from her too, and were very grateful she got us design proofs quickly, and omg the album
Read More layout is amazing. She added a few pages to ensure that the story of our day was told the best it could be told. She laid out pages in a way I would've never thought of, but also so much better than I could've imagined. I can't wait to get the albums back, and I'm so excited to hang her pictures up everywhere!
Michelle is an expert photographer who was able to get in on the action and capture the energy of the dancefloor like no one else could. She was able to capture the most meaningful moments with our loved ones in the most beautiful and candid way. The photos of these special moments are truly priceless and will be treasured for a lifetime. We highly recommend Michelle to anyone in need of a talented, professional, and reliable photographer for their big day.

When I first met Michelle and she described herself as a "photography ninja", I assumed she meant the typical discreet, non-intrusive approach. And I honestly didn't value this much because, from experience with multiple friend and family weddings, every photographer says this and every photographer has still been noticeable. Michelle, however, is different. It wasn't until we received our wedding album that we realized capacity of her ninja-skills. From the heart of the dance floor, Michelle captured the most iconic moments - tie in the teeth limbo, a dirty dancing lift, a new definition
Read More given to Shout!'s "a little bit lower now". Not only this, she captured the overall atmosphere in the room - the joy on our friends faces, the love shared amongst our families, and the unmatched excitement of ringing in the new year with the most important people in our lives.
While Michelle prides herself on these ninja-like characteristics, I would say her super power is simply her ability to tell your story. She won't just take a pretty picture of you, your sentimental items or reception decor, or even your guests. She collects moments. Every photo has a moment, a meaning, a story behind it. And when they are strung together in her beautifully hand crafted album, these photos allow you to relive each moment with the same joy, laughter, excitement, and love as you felt on that special day!

Working with Michelle was both fun and no BS. How?? She is a fun and lighthearted person, but also takes her work very seriously. We met with her a few times virtually before the day, partially because of Covid, and partially because we live in San Francisco and our wedding was in New Jersey. Michelle was responsive and flexible and answered all of our questions. We didn't have a wedding planner and Michelle provided invaluable insight on how quickly/slowly things tend to go on a wedding day. She helped us set the schedule for the day.
The photos from our wedding day are fantastic.

We are so glad that we chose to work with Michelle on our wedding day. Her relaxed attitude, flexibility and calm composure was exactly the vibe we needed for our day. Her professionalism is unmatched and her extensive experience was super helpful in navigating all the pre-wedding logistical planning (and we had a LOT of logistics to consider!). There are really no words to describe how happy we are with our photos and wedding album - they are perfect. She had us hooked just days after the wedding with her Instagram teasers and blog post - we couldn't wait to get our hands on all of them, and
Read More her turnaround time was even quicker than we expected! She was able to capture all of our special moments (despite some heavy photog restrictions in our church), had a ton of patience with my large family portrait requests (even though I had no patience left!) and got some amazing candids of our guests (even after some of them crashed into her post-limbo on the dance floor). Michelle, again, thank you so much!!

We just received a series of photos from our wedding day and we are speechless. As I scrolled through the photos, my cheeks were simultaneously sore and streaky from the giant smile and happy tears that I had plastered on my face the entire time. Michelle BRILLIANTLY captured our day. It’s as if I can not only relive my visual memories of the day, but more importantly, all of the emotions I felt during each part of our entire wedding day. You simply cannot say that about every photographer. She prides herself on capturing the moments that characterize your experience, so to describe her solely
Read More as photographer doesn’t do her justice. She is a storyteller. She gets to know your personality and your vibe almost immediately. She needed no direction; her expertise took her exactly where she needed to go on our wedding day and we truly couldn’t be happier with the memories that she magically bottled up for us, aesthetics and emotions alike. And of course I must mention, the quality and artistry of her pictures are flawless.
It’s really not a matter of whether or not to book her as your photographer. It’s whether or not you have the privilege of her joining you on your day so you can experience it again and again for the rest of your life. If you want the complete picture of your day that goes beyond the “getting ready, the ceremony, and the party”; if you want your relationship, your family’s bond, and your happiness to be captured; if you want the silly, the sassy, the perfection and imperfection to come through, then look no further. Michelle is your girl.
