About Michelle:

The universe brings us exactly what is meant for us, and that’s a sentiment that Michelle has lived so well. Since serendipitously photographing her first wedding well over thirteen years ago, she instantly knew that living this life of celebration was the one she was meant to live. 

Over the years, Michelle has photographed all over the US and in several countries capturing beautiful love stories. She has photographed above the arctic circle, near the equator, and in between capturing both intimate nuptials and grand scale events.

Most who meet Michelle note her calming demeanor and friendly openness. Throughout her career, she has also been recognized for her talent and has been  called a “master of her craft” by fellow peers. In 2017 she was named one of Rangefinder Magazine’s Top 30 Rising Stars of the International Wedding Community, a title highly coveted within her industry. She has received several awards for her work, including a Fearless Award in wedding photojournalism. 

When not photographing weddings and traveling, Michelle enjoys peaceful time in nature, going for long walks on the greenways near her home. She and her partner love to watch old comedies with their orange tabby and cairn terrier right alongside them on the couch. 

A note from the artist:

Thank you so very much for taking the time to view the photographs I’ve captured and read a bit about me. I’m so honored to be able to spend my life witnessing beautiful couples who love each other and celebrating their most cherished moments with them!

Please feel free to message me with any thoughts or questions. I would so love to hear from you!

 “Michelle is a dream to work with! The photos of my wedding are above and beyond what I expected! Every moment was captured beautifully and she did an incredible job at helping us feel natural and relaxed in order to capture such beautiful shots. Also, she is very personable and makes you feel at ease- her talent speaks for itself through her portfolio. We truly could not be more impressed with the editing and eye she has for capturing the beauty of the landscape in our photos. We all look incredible!”
