I picked Michaela to photograph our wedding after reading reviews and seeing her work online. I loved her editing style. I am very happy with my decision and she exceeded my expectations. She was kind, flexible, responsive, and fun.

We were trying to get married in 6 months and needed a photographer fast. Here stepped in Michaela Anna Photography. We emailed her on a Sunday asking for her availability. We did not expect a reply for at least a couple days, but she responded to us later than evening! The other photographers we had reached out to were much less responsive, which made Michaela’s responsiveness stand out even more! This responsiveness and promptness continued throughout our time with Michaela that had us feeling informed, secure, and cared for. We had a lengthy list of questions for Michaela as well as we started working with her, but she answered each one promptly and in such detail that we instantly felt great confidence in her abilities. The follow up meetings bolstered this perception as our zoom meetings with her were very organized and we could tell she took good notes. Michaela had a preset approach to get the conversation going which gave us insight into how she conducted her work, and she adjusted and shaped it to meet our expectations and things we wanted out of a photoshoot. Included in our package with Michaela was an engagement shoot. This was the first time we had spent any lengthy time in front of a camera so focused on us, but Michaela made the whole experience fun and light with her personality which made the process feel like a collaboration with a good friend, shedding us of the awkwardness and uncertainty. All the while, she consistently demonstrated her professionalism with creative and varied positions for the photoshoots that had us looking our best and highlighting our personalities.
Michaela was even more amazing on the actual wedding day which had a steeper list of demands than even the engagement shoot. A second shooter (Aponi) worked with the groom while Michaela worked with the bride. Between the two, they captured beautiful and special getting-ready pictures, first-touch pictures, detail photos of the attire and rings—everything for us to remember and look back on for years to come.
On this day, we had a long and detailed list of pictures we wanted which we did supply to Michaela ahead of time. A series of pictures were to be captured at the church where we were married, with more to follow at the reception venue about 15 minutes down the road. It required wrangling and coordinating photos with 30+ family members. But Michaela was undaunted. She worked efficiently to capture all the family portraits we had detailed for her in the list to be captured at the church. Michaela always kept things moving along and checked in with us at regular intervals, both to make sure we were good on time and to make sure we were getting what we asked for. The same efficiency, care, and professionalism continued at the reception venue where we took pictures outside during cocktail hour. Michaela followed us throughout the rest of the day, capturing our grand entrance, speeches, cake cutting, first dances, and more!
Furthermore, there was a quick turnaround time on receiving photos from Michaela. Pictures from the engagement shoot (approximately 70 photos) were provided 10 days afterward, and the wedding photos (approximately 800 photos) were provided in just under 6 weeks. We were very pleased with the quality and timeliness of her final product.
We highly recommend Michaela for your photography needs, and we plan to contract her again in the future.

My husband and I cannot recommend Michaela enough! Michaela was especially great about suggesting shots and poses she knew would be the most flattering while still accommodating our ideas and preferences. We were also very impressed by the seamless way she moved through the ceremony and reception, capturing every special moment without us even noticing. We elected to do an engagement photoshoot with her as well, and highly recommend doing that to make the wedding day feel more natural. We really appreciated Michaela’s flexibility as we scheduled the engagement shoot as bad weather canceled our plans more than once. The pictures from both the engagement shoot and the wedding day turned out amazing and we are so happy with Michaela’s work! Overall, Michaela was extremely professional, communicative, fun, and went the extra mile to make our day as smooth as possible!
