    I LOVE Michelle!

    Michelle is perfection in every single way! We booked with her for our wedding on 9/21 and she has been wonderful throughout the entire process. Every time I had a question, she would respond to me so timely. She and her assistant (who is also great!), Brooke, arrived early to our wedding and she delivered our photos weeks before I expected them. Such professionalism in all the ways and I can't thank her enough for everything she has done for us.

    It was difficult to finalize a photographer in the midst of all them, but I am so very grateful to have found Michelle. She is incredibly talented (her instagram is the most beautiful portfolio) and will capture all your precious moments as well as some sweet candids that only someone who was made for photography can see. Not only that, Michelle is also a great person. She will go above and beyond to make you feel special.

    I don't live close to Michelle as our wedding was out of the state, but I loved working with her so much that our wedding won't be the last time I will ever work with her. I will drive hours to see her and have pictures taken by her again and again. Our wedding photos were so beautiful and I will cherish them and her forever!

    Enough good cannot be said about Michelle Lea Photographie

    If you’re getting married and need a photographer, I cannot say enough good things about Michelle. She made me feel so special and played such a vital role in making our day run so smoothly. She captured so many moments and details that we missed through all of the excitement of the day.
    Michelle not only captured our wedding day, but from the moment we decided we wanted her be our photographer she made us feel so special. She sent us a welcome gift, scheduled two engagement sessions to capture the looks we wanted, shot details photos before the wedding, and made me feel so beautiful during my bridal session. I am so thankful for your work and how perfectly you captured one of the most meaningful days of our lives.
    Also, so much love for her assistant Brooke and all of her hard work. She is a HUGE asset to Michelle Lea Photographie.

    Michelle was the best decision we made for our wedding!

    In the midst of settling in as a newly wed, and moving into a new home, I’m excited to finally brag on Michelle Lea Photographie! I am so happy we chose Michelle to photograph our wedding. Michelle and her assistant, Brooke, were outstanding. We got married at a wedding venue 2 hours away, in the middle of a snow storm. They battled the weather and were a complete dream come true! I knew I would love my pictures, because I researched many photographers and Michelle’s work stood out above the rest. What I didn’t know is how kind Michelle is and how helpful she would be during the entire wedding planning. She recommended a wedding planner and many other great vendors. She is the best decision we made for our wedding! During the best time of our lives (most often times stressful) she helped ease the stress. We had never been in front of the camera before and Michelle made us feel like movie stars. She makes you feel very comfortable, and she knows how to make you laugh at the right time for the perfect, real picture. I am confident in my recommendation for Michelle. She will handle your wedding, family photos, or whatever you choose and she will put her whole heart into it and do it well.

    Michelle's work is like no other I have ever seen! I am absolutely in love with our wedding photos and cannot wait to cherish them for years to come. She traveled to be there for our wedding. Her assistant is lovely and she captured every moment of our special day!

    Michelle is so wonderful as a photographer and a human! Throughout the entire planning process, Michelle was so helpful and accommodating. She knows weddings and she knows how long things will take, and that is important when you are trying to make a timeline! We had a blast taking engagement pictures with her on Roan Mountain, and the pictures are absolutely beautiful. On our wedding day, Michelle and Brooke were so sweet to come early to photograph our details. They are a great team and kept pictures running smoothly. Michelle also helped my bridesmaids get dressed, and she sewed the tiny straps on my dress when they came undone! She is awesome and does absolutely beautiful work that I know we will cherish for many years. Great professionalism, stunning pictures-you need Michelle!

    First things first, I cannot recommend Michelle Lea Photographie enough. She and her assistant were amazing before and during the wedding. Michelle was prompt in her communications to us and was really flexible- because we had to travel for the wedding, she allowed us to swap our engagement session for photographing the rehearsal dinner. Those pictures ended up being some of our favorites, because we got to see lots of family and friends at ease and enjoying themselves!

    I love Michelle's style. She takes incredibly high quality photos, especially for what she is charging. She was also great day of, and was really able to put me at ease when there were little bobbles in the timeline. I would note that the photos do take a bit longer to get, since she uses film and digital, but trust me, it is worth it.

    Finally, I really want to highlight one thing that might seem a bit odd if you are just starting out in your wedding planning. Michelle's photos during the reception were gorgeous. Most photographers (including Michelle) include a lot of the outdoor, posed photos, in their portfolios. Well, our reception was under a tent, much of it with the sun setting or light getting dim, and she still rocked those pictures. Seriously, many people shared with me that these pictures of them are some of their favorites. She captured the candid fun of the night AND made people look awesome. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I have no regrets!

    I could try a million times and not be able to say enough good things about Michelle. She is the sweetest, most accommodating, hardest working, and most talented photographer in the greater Tennessee area. She shoots film and digital, and her images really capture the heart of the people she photographs. I'm so glad that my husband and I chose Michelle. It rained the entirety of our wedding day, but that didn't stop Michelle and her assistant from taking the most breathtaking photos of us. In fact, she did such a great job, that you can't even tell it stormed all day! She also worked over time to make sure our engagement pictures were perfect, even giving us two sessions instead of one due to a high volume of people at our location. Her personality is wonderful, and she truly has a heart for creating lifelong memories for her clients. Michelle became so much more than a photographer for us, she became a part of our family! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

    There are literally no words to describe Michelle. After meeting with several photographers, you could tell she she was obsessed with photography and truly enjoyed what she does, besides the fact that her portfolio is exquisite. Her professionalism is unlike any other - prompt with responses, and super creative! This helped prepare for the big day, especially if you are unsure of how to 'act' in front of the camera. She made my husband and me feel so comfortable on the day of. Michelle has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever met, and I was absolutely honored to have her play such a large role in my wedding. I can't recommend her enough!

    Michelle was absolutely amazing during our entire wedding and while planning. She was extremely accommodating for us, even when we were off schedule and running around with out heads cut off before the ceremony trying to get everything done. I am so pleased with our photographs and how they turned out. There was only two things that I were extremely important to me was my dress and my photographer. I am so happy that I chose to have Michelle because on the most important day, we got everything and more that we wanted. I can't wait to get all of my prints to hang in our home! Thank you again!!

    ...God works in amazing ways…
    Just like the moment he brought Michelle Wolfe of Michelle Lea Photograghie into our lives. We met at Panera for what I like to call a “meet & eat” and we literally talked and laughed for hours. I’ve never told her; but when we left Panera and were driving home….my husband looks over at me and says “Well what did you think of her?” and instantly I couldn’t hold back the tears that flowed from my eyes…it just overwhelmed me in an amazing way that I knew in my heart God put her in our lives and there was no doubt she would share our special moment in life. Michelle is not only a godly woman, she has the most gracious heart and she’s a jaw dropping photographer. I’ve had other photographers review her work and say “wow, she’s amazing!” I’ve never felt more beautiful in all my life than when I see myself in her photographs. Michelle doesn’t just leave you as a photographer but she’ll be a friend and forever feel like family. The day of my wedding was a little stressful but Michelle made everything feel calm and did anything she could to help…like even making me an extra boutonniere that my florist forgot. I can honestly never say enough wonderful things about Michelle Lea Photographie & I would highly recommend her!

    Truly we cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle and her assistant Brooke. When I found Michelle online, I just knew I had to have her as our photographer. And I am so glad we did. Living in Korea and away from family and friends was hard for me during the wedding planning process. However, Michelle takes the time to make brides feel special with her extra touches and extra mile she goes for them. I will forever be thankful for that moment when she did that for me. I knew I didn't just "hire" a photographer, rather I gained a friend. She was always there for us thru all the timezone differences and questions. When the day finally came, the duo seriously went beyond to ensure that our day was special. Michelle captured our wedding so beautifully. Her professionalism, calmness, and love for what she does truly is inspiring as well as comforting. We had no worries the entire time we were in her hands, and we loved and appreciated her guidance, as we planned our wedding from 3 different continents! Michelle even joined the party and danced with us, which was so fun! Brooke was just as amazing, professional, helpful and calm. The duo work so well together and I will NEVER FORGET what they did for us. Thanks for making our wedding day extra special!

    I was very pleased with Michelle Lea Photographie. Prior to the wedding day, she was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any emails or messages I sent. She took time to get to know details about my husband-to-be and I, including which formal family photos we wanted taken. We both come from blended families and she made recommendations for how to include everyone, which made our day flow smoothly. Michelle and her assistant showed up early and spent the entire day capturing our most important moments. Our wedding pictures turned out even better than I hoped. She also included detail photos (shoes, veil, cuff links, etc) that I never would have thought to include. I love that she captured these; they are so special to us. I cannot say enough good things about Michelle and her abilities!

    I absolutely LOVED working with Michelle. I couldn't have asked for a better person to share my most precious memories with!!! Not only did she do my wedding photos but she did my engagement, boudoir AND when my husband proposed to me!!! I've not only found such a WONDERFUL photographer, but a life long friend!!! I would recommend her to anyone! She's certainly worth it!!

    Michelle is too much...in the best way possible!!!! Before the wedding, she was so easy to communicate with and learned so much about us. Very professional and personal. She worked out our needs so easily and with joy. On the day of, she was extremely prepared and knew exactly what we wanted. Circumstances led her to think quick on her feet, Michelle didn't skip a beat. We were so pleased with how our photos turned out! She comes highly recommended.

    We found Michelle to take family photos while we were on vacation in Gatlinburg. We couldn't be more thrilled with the pictures and with the experience as a whole. She was such a joy to work with and we have gotten so many compliments on the photos. We had a large group with several small kids so her job wasn't easy, but everyone felt very comfortable and thought that the session was a highlight of the trip! Her style is exactly what we wanted. Thank you Michelle!

    Michelle is AMAZING! The first time we met, I could see how excited she is about photography, and that made me excited for her to be a part of our day. Michelle was on top of everything, from the timeline to the list of "details" to consider including in photos, she made sure everyone was on the same page throughout. On our wedding day, her enthusiasm was contagious, and I was so pleased with how smoothly everything went. Our previews have been fantastic, although I never had any doubt they would be. I can't wait to see the rest of our photos, and I look forward to working with Michelle again in the future!

    We had a fantastic experience with Michelle. We live in Wisconsin and I was looking for a photographer in Tennessee so I had to rely on the internet to find someone. I definitely made the right choice! Michelle went above and beyond and made everything so simple! We communicated back and forth leading up to our trip, and she always answered my questions and went out of her way to make sure our photos would follow the vision I had for them. Michelle was very professional, yet fun and relaxed at the same time! She has a fantastic eye for light, scenery and posing. I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for timeless, modern photos that you will treasure forever!

    Michelle was so wonderful. She honestly became more of a friend throughout my wedding experience. My grandfather passed away right before my wedding, and Michelle was able to capture beautiful photos of his watch, which I wore on my wedding day. Those are pictures that my family will cherish for years to come. She was also very flexible with requests to do destination photos. I would very highly recommend Michelle. I will definitely be using her to capture more of our new little family's moments.

    Michelle is just wonderful! She captured every vision I had. She was very hands-on and helped us with poses that looked good. I was so pleased with all of our photos! She definitely goes above and beyond for her customers. Not only do I have a great photographer, but I have a good friend as well! AND I can't even tell you how many compliments we received from our photos!

    Michelle is sweet, generous, patient and down to earth. She was very flexible and easy to get along with . She jumped into my wedding prep like she was family and got us all to the venue looking sharp. She is creative with her photography and presentation is very important to her. at times she was so stealth at taking the pcitres I didn't even know she was there! I would use her services for all events in the future. I highly recommend her to any one that want the most out of such a memorable day.

    Michelle was amazing from the very get go! She photographed my best friend's wedding in which I was a bridesmaid. In getting to know her through that, we knew we wanted Michelle to do our engagement and wedding pictures. She not only stepped up in taking us to the place where we did our pictures, but she also gave me ideas and had props for the engagement session. We (especially my husband) thought we were going to be nervous and awkward, but Michelle is so fun and sweet that we were able to just have a blast! When heavy wedding planning time arrived, Michelle was patient with us as we changed our minds about several different things and supported us in everything. She helped me with ideas on pinterest for decorations and she even let us borrow a few things for decorations! Her photography is AMAZING! Everyone's responses about our pictures were about how we should be in a magazine and how it looked like we were in ads for different companies...she made us feel like superstars! Michelle loves the Lord and seeks to bring Him glory by loving people the way she does and to capture the beauty in everything. She is so positive, sweet, down to earth, and just all around an amazing woman! We were and are truly thankful to have had her be a part of our special day! I would recommend Michelle to everyone!

    Michelle is one of the best! She truly invests herself into her work and is fantastic at making sure your big day is seamlessly photographed. There isn't a detail she won't capture, so that you are sure to remember each and every last part of your wedding day. From discussing ideas to seeing the end product, you won't be disappointed. Michelle is very organized and professional, and she is certainly a wonderful photographer!
