    Great communicator and organized

    Michelle did an amazing job as our photographer! She was great at communicating before the wedding. She was there early, made sure we were on schedule, and of course took amazing photos! She also helped us navigate well through a rainy day and making contingency plans. She also got us the photos within 2 weeks of the wedding! Highly recommend! Including a few of me for example.

    Very Professional

    I booked Michelle's services for an engagement shoot to get to know her and her style and ultimately booked her services for my wedding as well.
    Michelle is very communicative and gave feedback on some of my ideas when appropriate. She has a lot of experience that she was able to use and help my husband and I know what to expect and flexible enough to work with changes we wanted to make.
    Michelle is very thorough in explaining expectations and anything that would benefit us as the couple. She is very clear on her timeline of when you can expect your pictures back.

    Phenomenal Service

    I'll start by saying that Michelle Gunton is by far one of the best in the business and that is no exaggeration. Not only does her work speak for her talents but she is all about business and she knows what she's doing. When my wife and I booked her to do our wedding we had no doubts that we were making the right choice after our first call with her. Through the entire process of planning she made sure that we were all on the same page and walked through everything that we needed to know in-order to be sure that were getting exactly what were paying for. Despite Michelle being a seasoned vet in the photography world with many accolades that showcase her talents she is also very flexible and willing to work with you on the vision you have for your event needs. My wife and I have just recently received the photos from our wedding just recently and to say they are are phenomenal would be an understatement. Truly the product of her work is utterly-incomprehensible and we could not have picked a better photographer all around. Having someone who not only knows their craft but also provides a high level of customer service, courteous and personable through it all, offers more than reasonable prices based on her level of service and goes above and beyond to ensure satisfaction is everything you could ask for in a business. Thank you Michelle for all that you do and have done for us and we cannot wait to use you again for our next endeavor!

    Beautiful photography

    Michelle is incredible at what she does. She was on time and very organized. Her ideas were wonderful and she was excellent working with our large families at our wedding. Her work was delivered on time and was exactly what we wanted. Beautiful and truly captured the day. Highly recommend her at any wedding.

    Amazing experience!!

    Having a wedding in 2020 has been an experience. I’m sure a lot of couples have gone through some obstacles while trying to celebrate their union in the middle of this pandemic. But hiring the right people can make a difference. Hiring Michelle as our photographer was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. After having to postponed the wedding once and ending up having it at the house, Michelle not only went through the whole process with us, but she was patient, flexible, and responsive. She provided suggestions, and was very organized with a timeline of all events throughout the day. She kept us on track and did an amazing job with the pictures and album. She also took our engagement pictures and they turned out great. She loved our dog and treated him like her own. She made us feel very comfortable and we really had a great time. Please keep her in mind when hiring your photographer. You want someone who is professional and can trust during the process.

    Hands down! Best photographer ever!

    I wish there were 100 stars or more to rate Michelle, although that still would not be enough. My husband and I thought Michelle was awesome before we even met her at the wedding, but when we met her all the things we thought about her were much greater than what we could have ever imagined. If you are looking for wedding photos with a little twist, Michelle is your photographer. She is so fun and very candid about what will work and what won't. She will put you FIRST, every single time. She wants to capture the true essence of who you and your husband are...we loved that! When we got our photos, we were floored. We could not believe that what she took is what we actually received. I could go on and on and on, there are not enough words. Michelle is awesome! We wish that we could do it all over again and have her take our pictures just to see what other brilliant ideas she would come up with. If you are looking for a photographer, hire her TODAY! She not only genuinely cares, but she will also give you some amazing photos that you can cherish forever!! Thank you Michelle!!

    I can't begin to say enough about Michelle. She was amazing from start to finish! Michelle was fantastic and got so many amazing pictures! We had guest at the wedding asking for her information and complimenting on how she seemed to be everywhere at once! My pictures are beyond anything I could have imagined and I will cherish them always!

    Since Marc & I decided to get married in the middle of a pandemic, our wedding plans had to change dramatically. Michelle was WONDERFUL to work with and captured our special day perfectly! I couldn’t have made a better choice when deciding on her for our wedding!

She really is the best around and we highly recommend her for your special day. Thank you so much again for everything Michelle! Cannot wait to work with you again in the future!!

    Michelle is absolutely the best there is when it comes to wedding photography. We hired her for my daughter's wedding and we could not be happier. Her mix of color and black & white photographs are treasures. She is worth every single penny. You will not be disappointed.

    Very Flexible

    Where do I begin? We are so thankful we had Michelle as our photographer because our day was chaotic but Michelle has such a calming personality and was able to make suggestions and was willing to be flexible with our ever changing schedule because people were always running late. If it wasnt for her my wife may have gone bridezilla on people, lol. We got our photos back 3 weeks after the wedding and man we are in love with them. She really captured all the moments. We were on a tight budget so we went with her suggestion of going with 1 photographer and she was right she is so good at capturing moments and telling the whole story. We will definitely use her in the future. Hire her you wont be sorry!!

    Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with from our engagement pictures, bridal portraits and capturing our big day. Michelle was so fun to work with as her idea is to capture a unique photo. Her silhouette photos are an absolute must! I highly recommend Michelle Gunton photography for any photography needs.

    Michelle was amazing. We sought her out because of her creative style and boy did she not disappoint. She made the photo process as easy as pie. She took full control of the day and was one vendor that I did not have to stress about. We would use Michelle over and over again.

    We used Michelle for engagement pictures, bridal portraits and our wedding. She was amazing. In addition to the great pictures Michelle took, she was above and beyond the day of the wedding. She was able to coordinate people for family pictures, give my husband and I a break when we needed one and was very professional. I had multiple guests telling me how she was busy taking pictures the whole night. She also spent time setting up the light for a night shot in front of the house before asking my husband and I to join her. By the time we came out front, she was ready to go and we were not away from our guests for long. I recommend Michelle to anyone and appreciate and effort she put into our wedding

    Michelle is amazing. She made all of the photos on wedding day so much fun. All of the photos were edited and sent two weeks after the wedding. I am so in love with the photos I cannot stop looking at them! Couldn't ask for more from a photographer!!

    Michelle was probably the best thing I could have picked for my wedding. My wedding timeline was a little complicated and we needed a photographer for at least 10 hours (we had a very large wedding party and need to travel to multiple locations). She was able to work with us on that! I still can't believe she was willing to put in over 10 hours of work for our wedding! Michelle was able to get inventive and creative photos while still capturing traditional poses for our mothers/grandparents. We were a bit nervous because my husband and I lived in MI (our wedding was in NC) and we were not able to meet her to do engagement photos. However, Michelle called us multiple times and made sure she captured the styles we wanted for our wedding. My husband and I wanted candid shots and my mother wanted formal family shots. She was able to combine what everyone wanted! When I received the photos (which only took like 1 week!!!)....my husband and I were BLOWN AWAY at the quality and variety of the photos. Michelle's associate (I apologize of not being able to remember her name) was also very talented and got great photos of my husband and groomsmen! Michelle also gave us great DJ and hair/makeup artist references. We ended up hiring both of the people she recommended and they were amazing!! (FYI- Lenny Fritts was our DJ and Ginger Mullins was our hair/make up artist).

    Bottom line: If you need a flexible, reliable, TALENTED and hard-working photographer for your wedding...Michelle is it!

    If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Michelle did an amazing job with our wedding photos. She was creative, fun, helpful, flexible, and professional. Our friends and family keep saying that the photographs could be in magazines. She also has great turn around time between when she takes the photos and when she sends you the gallery, which is great because it's so fun to look through the pictures and so hard to wait!

    Michelle was amazing! She traveled to the Outer Banks to photograph my wedding. She kept talking about telling my story through photos and I was sightly confused, until I saw my photos. They were amazing! And I was so pleased with them! After getting them and looking at them over and over I completely understood what she meant about telling my story! I can go look through my pictures at any time and it is like looking at a video of the whole day! She would also let me know where she was going to be and what she needed us to do before taking the pictures, which was very helpful! She also asked me about my vision and the things I wanted. I would highly recommend Michelle to take any kind of pictures, especially wedding photos. I cannot thank her enough!

    Michelle is amazing. She was referred to us by another photographer and we are so happy with the results. What I appreciated the most about Michelle is how she took initiative to capture all our moments without a plan, she has years of experience and even in the midst of a hectic schedule she was able to coordinate meaningful and beautiful moments.We couldn't be happier and I want her to continue to capture the important moments in our life so we hope she will be our official family photographer and I think that speaks for how much we value her work. Thank you Michelle!
