As an interfaith wedding rabbi and officiant, I had the pleasure of working with Michelle Peyronet, and what stood out to me most was her ability to help people stay fully present in the wedding day itself.

Weddings have a way of moving at extraordinary speed. Months of planning culminate in a few short hours, and couples often tell me afterward that the day felt like a blur. Michelle seemed to understand that her role was not simply to document the day, but to help couples slow down and experience it while it was happening.

As someone who spends a great deal of time observing people during wedding ceremonies, I appreciate photographers who create space for authentic moments rather than constantly directing them. Michelle brought a calm and reassuring presence that allowed the couple and their loved ones to relax and be themselves. The interactions felt natural, the emotions felt genuine, and the celebration unfolded without feeling staged.

What I especially appreciated was her attentiveness to the relationships surrounding the couple. She seemed just as interested in capturing family connections, friendships, and the atmosphere of the day as she was in creating beautiful portraits. That approach resulted in photographs that felt personal and meaningful rather than simply picturesque.

Michelle was also a wonderful professional to work alongside. Thoughtful, collaborative, and unobtrusive, she contributed to a wedding day that felt joyful, relaxed, and centered on the people being celebrated.

I would gladly recommend Michelle Peyronet to any couple looking for a photographer who combines artistry, intentionality, and a genuine appreciation for the relationships and moments that make a wedding unforgettable.

I can't say enough great things about Michelle and Peyronet Photography. Michelle did our Engagement Pictures, my Bridal Portraits and our Wedding. every phot was so perfect it was almost impossible to pick one. She is funny, talented and incredibly kind. She will make your experience so memorable. When you look back on your special day you want those pictures that capture every incredible moment. Michelle can do it!

Simply put, Michelle is THE BEST! I was fortunate enough to have met Michelle prior to interviewing her because she photographed my cousin's wedding, in addition to shooting mine and Kev's engagement. Michelle is so personable and really got to know Kev and me on a personal level as well as get to know our relationship with each other (i.e. how we met, how long we dated, where our first date was etc.) These details were so important for Michelle because she used the information as a way to help us pick a location for our engagement shoot, my bridals, and even as a way to help make taking pictures fun and comfortable. Taking professional pictures can be nerve racking especially when you aren't used to being in the spotlight. My husband for example loathes taking pictures, but Michelle had Kevin saying verbatim "that was so much fun!" after our engagement shoot! Whenever I felt myself smile going stale, Michelle was there to help me relax and shake out my muscles to ensure there wouldn't be any "ugly" photos. I told her my vision for bridal/wedding pictures and she brought them to life! She even sent Kev and I sneak peeks not even a week after the wedding (which I should add was not in our contract for her to do). This is just a small example of her always going above and beyond! Her and Marian, my wedding planner, even wore shirts to match the color and theme of my wedding! Who else can say their wedding photographer and planner did that?! Michelle is very talented at what she does. Every tiny detail, specific angle, perfect lighting, etc. is shown in every single picture she took on our wedding day. Kev and I will always have these pictures to remind us of our perfect day and we have Michelle to thank for that! Do yourself a favor and book Michelle for your next wedding!

I hired Michelle after a recommendation from my wedding venue. Michelle was supportive and amazing through the entire process. She even helped me plan my timeline and took SO much stress off of me. I texted her and called her with any and all questions and she always had the answers! Michelle is amazing at her job but she was also SO much more than that. She was so supportive and truly is the reason why I enjoyed my wedding day so much. She was very in tune to what I needed and made sure that I got everything that I wanted out of my photos. One of the things that she did so well was a quick and decisive plan of action to get the photos done efficiently. It was very important to me that we got the pictures that we needed to have but didn't leave our guests and family standing and waiting for too long. Michelle made it happen. She is incredible at her job and did so much more than I ever could've expected! Michelle will feel like your best friend by the end of your time with her!

Loved Michele, she was true to her word and did an amazing job.

I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough. She did our engagements, my bridals, and our wedding. You can tell from her portfolio that she produces high quality photos. But what you don't see online is all of the hard work that goes into those! She gives great direction - which really helped us because my husband HATES photos but felt way more confident having someone tell him what to do. She gets to know you so she knows what photos are important to YOU and makes sure you get them. She also really cares about her brides. She was always responsive to my questions and concerns. I had a hair/makeup artist crisis-she booked another bride and didn't tell me until 6 days before my wedding-and Michelle stopped what she was doing (even though I am pretty sure that was her day off and she was taking her own family portraits that day) and called her makeup artist connections and made sure I was taken care of. At the wedding she was fun, made sure photos went quickly so we could get to the party, and my entire wedding party LOVED her. Book her now or you'll regret it!

We had Michelle take our Engagement pictures, my bridal shots, and our wedding. We could not be more impressed by the skill and the amount of fun that we had! She is really good at finding beautiful lighting and unique poses that make anyone and everyone feel beautiful. She also has a fun personality and keeps you laughing. We were lucky enough to have both Michelle and Hayle capture all the aspects and details of our wedding day. They worked so hard and we are so appreciative! Love, Zoe and Cary Register

What can I say about Michelle? She’s amazing! She’s brilliant! She’s so much fun! From the moment we met her, our personalities clicked, and we just knew we wanted to work with her. She was very responsive with communications, and was happy to guide us through the process, from picking out the right package to scouting locations for engagement and wedding day photo shoots and more. Michelle is a master of her craft, and she had a clear vision of how she wanted to tell our story. Our engagement photo session was a blast, which resulted in a stunning guestbook for our wedding guests to sign. Our wedding party and our families absolutely loved her. And when the wedding photos were sent to us, we were just blown away by the stunning images we saw! Michelle and her team truly captured the essence of our beautiful day! I would highly recommend Peyronet Photography!

She’s amazing!! Her and her coworker traveled to Colorado for our destination wedding. Literally she went above and beyond. It was like she was a wedding planner, great photographer, and nurse all wrapped up in one. They couldn’t have made our day better. Thank you from the bottom of our heart!

Michelle was recommended from our wedding planners, the Gold Dust Vintage Girls, and man am I so thrilled that happened! She flew all the way out to Phoenix, AZ to do our engagement pics, and I am beyond impressed. She listened to everything we wanted (including engagement pics with our unruly pups) and was patient and had a smile on her face the whole way through. On the day of the wedding she had the most amazing ideas for pictures and I can't wait to see them! She was an absolute blast to work with and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
