Love Michelle
Michelle did our engagement and wedding photos and she was a dream to work with from start to finish. For our engagement photos, she got us to relax and enjoy ourselves. Many of our favorite photos are us laughing. She was one of the best things about our wedding. We're not from Raleigh, so we didn't know vendors. She recommended almost our whole team and everyone worked so well together. You can tell she has a great reputation in the industry and around Raleigh. She created the photo timeline, was calm and collected throughout the day, super communicative, kept us on time, and overall a wonderful person to be around. We got married at Market Hall, which she knows like the back of her hand. She also worked side by side with our videographer and made sure everyone got the shot they wanted and the shot they needed. We loved having Michelle on our team and cannot recommend her enough. Her photos are top class!! It rained on our wedding day and she was so flexible on where we were going to take photos, how we were going to take photos. The results are beautiful and you cannot tell it rained all day. She also made sure we didn't overheat or encouraged us to take a break if we needed one. Will definitely hire for future family shots! Easily the best decision we made!

Michelle doesn’t respect boundaries
I do not recommend Michelle's services. She repeatedly pressured us to let her use our engagement photos for marketing, despite our contract explicitly forbidding it and us telling her "no" multiple times. Her refusal to respect boundaries and contractual agreements led us to cancel our wedding photography contract and hire a new photographer.

A Joy from Start to Finish
We are so glad we hired Michelle for our wedding. From our very first phone call, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Our "engagement" shoot was wonderful and so appreciated because it made us totally confident that we were in the best hands for our wedding. On the day of our wedding, Michelle was early and so excited and her attitude made a wonderful day even better. She brings such a fun energy so you can't help but laugh and have fun and she really knows how to capture all that fun and love. Michelle delivered our photos super quickly and they were all gorgeous, we are so pleased with the results. Absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone who wants photos that really capture the moment and let you have fun with your spouse and all your guests instead of spending ages in staged photos.

Best Decision Ever
From the moment I reached out to Michelle, I was impressed by her quick response and felt at ease by her fun and sweet nature. On our wedding day, she was a true master of the timeline, keeping us on schedule while also making us feel relaxed and able to truly enjoy the moment. The final photos were absolutely beautiful and creative, perfectly capturing all the special moments of our day. Michelle's incredible talent and value was evident in the way she seamlessly blended into the background to get the perfect shots, delivering photographs that we will treasure forever.
