    Amazing pictures from an amazing person

    When I first starting talking to Michelle a year prior to my wedding I instantly felt comfortable with her. She was so easy to talk to and I knew I wanted someone like that with me all day photographing my wedding. Her work was beautiful and I couldn’t wait for her to photograph my husband and I on the biggest day of our lives. She eased my stresses over the year as our wedding got closer and I truly appreciated that. Not being able to have our families at our wedding was hard, but Michelle made sure they had the best pictures possible so they could relive the moment and feel like they were there with us on that day. Thank you Michelle for being there for us and for capturing the best day of our lives! We are so thankful for you!

    Beautiful photos even better photographer!

    We can't say enough good things about our experience with Michelle! Michelle captured our day perfectly and also was there to answer any questions beforehand and during. Above all, Michelle cared about us as a couple, did whatever she could to ensure the day went smoothly and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Michelle is just a wonderful person we were so lucky to have her as such a big part of our day and would HIGHLY recommend her services!

    We knew she was THE one from the start ...*

    We met Michelle at a wedding fair in Rochester last September and before even talking to her, we fell in love with the authenticity transpiring from her pictures... we were looking for a small wedding, pretty much cozy, bohemian and romantic and we felt she would have the perfect touch to capture our wedding.
    WE ARE SO HAPPY we talked to her that day. As soon as we started explaining our project and how we were envisioning our wedding, things immediately clicked. She is just such a beautiful person, we just felt a lot of emotions right that moment and i can only tell we both felt immediately comfortable with her.. She is organized, available, talented (but there was not even a doubt there), and she did not hesitate to recommend a slight adjustment to the schedule to make sure we would catch the sunset.. (by 15mn only, we would have missed it... so TRUST her.. :)). We had a cold outside photoshoot in November but i will never any regrets about it !
    What she captured of our wedding felt in a sense very "raw" when it comes to the emotions from the pictures but so subtle altogether that it feels to me like one of our best friend would have taken all those shots, as they are so real, and so intimate..
    We will never forgot how lucky we were to have her by our side. Thank you Michelle.

    Perfection

    I cannot say enough good about Michelle. I am in the military and was new to the area when planning my wedding and Michelle was beyond kind and helpful. I knew the minute I saw her portfolio that I just had to have her as our photographer and I feel so blessed that she agreed to capture our day. Truthfully, though, she felt more like family than a photographer. Our wedding day was stressful (as most are) and not only did she take the most beautiful pictures, but she helped make sure things ran smoothly and she kept me calm. For that, Michelle was invaluable. The pictures Michelle took were technically gorgeous - a variety of black and white photos, vibrant colors, interesting lighting techniques...she can do it all. We even took some in front of a multicolored mural in downtown Buffalo on our way to the reception (those are my favorite). Michelle knows of a myriad of amazing spots that I believe would fulfill any brides desires. Pictures are the most important aspect of a wedding day and I will be forever grateful that Michelle took ours.

    Unbelievable!!!

    Michelle was absolutely amazing! My now husband and I had our original photographer cancel on us 4 months before our wedding and I was in a sheer panic! We set up a meeting with Michelle and from the moment I met her I knew I wanted her to shoot our wedding. Any question I had and every email I sent was promptly responded to and I never had a question go unanswered. The day of our wedding was unbelievable! It really does go by so fast and you can barely think. Michelle was sure to capture every moment for us and there was not a memory she missed. When we received our final photos my husband and I were blown away! Beautiful quality and amazing shots. She is the most personable vendor we met with and I felt she truly understood what the day meant for us! Would give her a higher rating if I could!

    Very happy!

    From the initial contact via email, Michelle was very genuine and truly wanted to know us as a couple, to be able to capture our memories perfect to us. She did exactly that! The photos are beautiful, and we could not be happier with the final photos that we can look back on forever. Thank you so much!

    Gorgeous photos!!

    Michelle's photos are so creative and just plain beautiful! I was so happy with our engagement and wedding photos. The time and effort she took to get the right shot showed her love for what she does.

    I'd definitely recommend her to friends, especially those with a artistic/creative flair.

    Michelle was absolutely amazing to work with! My husband and I were looking for something different/ not over done for our wedding portraits and Michelle found us the perfect spot! We cannot express how much we love our photos. Michelle captured our special day so perfectly and we couldn't be happier!

    My wife and I hired Michelle for our engagement & wedding photos and we could not be happier. Literally all of our photos are gorgeous. We hired Michelle to start shooting in the morning with us getting ready through the end of our reception, and when all was said and done, Michelle gave us over 2,000 photos of our wedding. From start to finish, all of the biggest moments were captured and they're gorgeous. Her photographs were both classic and modern, not only did she capture the standard wedding photos, but she used a lot of cool techniques and angles to get some really cool shots. I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough, not only is she a great photographer, but she's awesome person too. If you're debating going with Michelle, you should stop debating and book her, you won't be disappointed.

    Wow. Where do I start to express my gratitude and and to explain the expertise Michelle has in photography. Anyone's wedding day is truly one of their favorite days and it goes by incredibly fast. Looking at our wedding photos allowed us to relive every moment because each moment was captured perfectly. We could hear the music from our first dance, the speeches, our vows, the laughs from the crowd and the band playing again. The details captured of my dress, his tux and the special things at the wedding and ceremony that made the wedding personalized and us is captured so artistically that it belongs in a magazine. The day was absolutely captured perfectly. It brought us back to that special day.

    The posed pictures and portraits are out of this world amazing. Each one belongs displayed proudly on a wall. The portraits are stunning and natural. It doesn't look forced and again captures amazing moments. Yet, she captures the true beauty and personality of each person!

    Each picture you see you think is your favorite and you look at the next and get over joyed because it's better than the last.

    She is an amazing photographer but she is an even better person. She is wonderful with the families she works with. She makes people feel at ease and truly produces stunning pictures. Her eye for where to take them, the lighting and the angle is truly a gift and an art.

    You would be hard pressed to get more for your money or find a better photographer. Michelle is the best of the best!

    Where do I start? I can't say enough good things about Michelle! From the second we met with her we knew she was the one we had to have her capture our wedding day. She is so personable, friendly, and kind, we felt like we knew her our whole life. Her photography is AMAZING, she captured every moment of our special day from start to finish. She is truly passionate about her job and you can tell by the quality of the photographs you receive. She will do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot! I would recommend her time and time again to anyone looking for a photographer, She is simply the BEST!

    Michelle is absolutely amazing! From our first session with our engagement pictures I knew she was a perfect fit! She has an amazing artistic eye that shines through in every single one of our pictures. Michelle truly goes above and beyond. It poured on our wedding day so we had limited options of places to take pictures. Michelle was able to get us into an indoor venue last minute and I couldn't be happier with how our pictures turned out. She even stood out in the rain snapping shots of us. Michelle made our day so special and I cant thank her enough. Our pictures are beautiful and I can't wait to work with her again!

    Michelle was amazing! I was so nervous but she makes the whole experience so comfortable. Our reception went until midnight and she was there to the very end. I can't say enough good things. Just look at her work, it says it all.

    There are not enough wonderful things to say about Michelle. From the moment we met her we felt absolutely comfortable and at ease. She is extremely easy to work with, always goes with the moment, and is extremely professional. Everything she does is for you, about you, and with you in mind. During our reception, we had guests asking if she was a friend of ours because of how friendly and comfortable she was. I have and will continue to recommend Michelle to everyone, and cannot wait to use her again. THANK YOU MICHELLE!!!

    Michelle Day Photography's reply:

You two are such a wonderful couple and it was an honor to capture all the magic of your day!!! I look forward to working together again in the future!

    Michelle was wonderful to work with; I am so glad we found her and decided to choose her to photograph our wedding. She has a great sense of humor and was wonderful accommodating every picture request we had for our engagement session and wedding day. Michelle has excellent people skills when working with the couple, wedding party, parents, and extended family. We couldn't be happier with how Michelle captured every moment of our special day!

    We had the great honor of working with Michelle for our engagement and wedding photography! We seriously can't thank her enough for everything she has captured. She has the eye to catch just those little perfect moments. I knew at once, when I first met her and went through her portfolio that she was the only one for us. We are very shy people and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. The photos speak for themselves. Don't hesitate to work with this wonderful woman. She is worth everything.
    Thank you again!

    Working with Michelle was a wonderful experience. Her passion for what she does showed from the start when she weathered the cold and snow of January to get some awesome engagement photos with us. And as someone who can be a little shy she made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. Both the posed and candid shots from our wedding came out amazing! I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Michelle was a perfect match for us on our wedding day and her beautiful work will continue to bring us joy in the years to come! We 100% recommend her to any future bride and groom.

    Personality. Michelle clearly loves her job, especially the opportunity to make a personal connection with her clients. We felt comfortable during every shoot and we loved how genuinely happy she was to be working with us. Michelle is kind, knowledgeable and confident working around the hectic wedding schedule, taking extra care to capture every expected (and unexpected!) shot.

    Creativity. Michelle has a keen eye for the best lighting to complement any shot, especially for outdoor photography. We really liked her wide angle style that incorporates the natural surroundings. The beauty of our outdoor country wedding came to life in her photos. We chose Michelle in part because her photos were the most memorable during our search.

    Price. Michelle sets a reasonable price range for the services she offers. We were able to purchase an all-inclusive package (engagement shoot/ceremony and reception/albums/personal digital copy/etc.) and add a second professional photographer for our wedding day without going over budget. Other photographers we found charged more for less.

    We found it's best to call Michelle to get in touch with her quickly.

    Michelle was amazing. We got along great and she was very easy to be around. When we received our pictures we were very happy with the outcome. She is especially great at capturing candid moments that turned out to be some of my favorite pictures. I spent a lot of time researching photographers and learned that you get what you pay for and Michelle was worth it. On our wedding day, there were times I was so busy and my mind was all over the place, that I couldn't tell you how certain things went or were set up. Michelle captured it all and allowed me to re-live the day and reminded me what a beautiful day it was. Thanks Michelle!

    We absolutely loved working with Michelle for our wedding photography! We live out of state from where the wedding was held and were super pleased with her flexibility. She was able to accommodate all of our needs and made the entire process stress free. The wedding day went off without hitch too. We had numerous guests comment during and after the big day on how talented Michelle is, and we agree! Our photos are amazing! We highly recommend taking her advice and doing an end-of-night shot. It was one of our favorite moments from the night!

    Michelle Day Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Jen for the humbling, wonderful review! Your day was unforgettable and I had so much fun!

    We haven't been able to stop saying THANK YOU to Michelle!

    We found Michelle through a friend who also used her at their wedding, and we were so happy to have her out our day. We explained to her the things that we did and didn't want to do and she took it from there.

    So calm and easy to work with, a definite plus when you're pulling together a wedding. One of the best things I can say about Michelle is that there were moments I almost forgot she was there - because she was getting the shots, but at the same time she was blending in with the guests and capturing things from the guests experience.

    Highly recommended!

    I knew Michelle from college, but after college life took us in different directions and I moved from Buffalo NY to Northern VA. I followed the growth of Michelle's business through social media and her photography blog. I was always impressed by her photos and creativity. As I was planning my own wedding, I asked Michelle (on a whim) if she was willing to travel to VA. I was beyond thrilled when she was open to traveling to capture my wedding. Michelle and I communicated easily via email for planning. Since we were in VA, I appreciated that we were able to submit payments electronically. I had complete trust in her the entire time. She's extremely easy to work with.

    On the day of my wedding, Michelle arrived on time and immediately went to work. She was inspired by our wedding venue and captured so many great shots of the details, preparations and venue. As a DIY bride, I quite appreciated her attention to detail. While working with our family and friends, Michelle was super patient, positive and provided great direction.

    Our wedding pictures are beyond stunning!! Michelle has such a knack for capturing moments and emotions. She doesn't miss a thing. I really cannot say enough about her talent and professionalism. This is a photographer you want with you on your wedding day!! I would recommend Michelle Day Photography without hesitation for any wedding or life event.
