Incredible Team and Photos that will last a lifetime!

Michelle and her whole team of photographers on my wedding day were incredible. Their ability to pivot when it started down-pouring was appreciated, and their knowledge of Chicago made it easy to rethink and improvise when needed. The photos they took that day are all around my house, and make me light up whenever I see them.

Boyle/Bulgarella Wedding

Michelle was absolutely amazing. She was able to get all of the family/friend pictures we wanted in a timely manner and was willing to work with us and our wedding day schedule. The pictures turned out amazing as well. I highly recommend Michelle! She did a phenomenal job and we couldn't be happier with how things turned out.

Michelle Cox Photography - October 2018 Wedding

Michelle was great! She was very on top of everything that was needed for our engagement and wedding photos and asked all the questions that i would have not thought to ask! She went above and beyond with everything. We got married one week before our friends and we received our photos touched up and everything about 2 months before they received theirs. When she delivered our flash drive with the final photos of the wedding she sent it in a care package that included a frame with her favorite photo of us and cute small gifts along with it! It made me teary eyed with happiness. She is the best!! She also was fun to be around during the whole wedding process and in the party bus :) Our wedding party all liked her as well. Everything was smooth and easy and I am so thankful because there is enough to worry about planning a wedding!

Very thoughtful, helpful & reliable!

Michelle was a blessing. After searching for a photographer became a nightmare, I stumbled upon her name. From the moment I contacted her through the day of our wedding, I knew we had made the right choice.
I was not your typical bride when it came to knowledge on anything related to a wedding. She turned a stressful experience into a effortless one. She is very easy to work with and I never felt like I couldn’t depend on her. We were very happy with her work sand would happily recommend her!

Michelle is literally a treat every time I work with her. She's been my go-to photographer for my business and blog for years, so it only made sense that when it came time to get married, she was the only photographer I wanted for the job! She perfectly understood the vision we wanted for both our engagement photos and our wedding day. We wanted quirky, non-traditional, but elegant. Michelle made sure we stayed organized, but had a blast the whole time! She made everyone so comfortable and feel like they've always known her! We ended up having our outdoor wedding/wedding photos during a HEAT ADVISORY! Yikes! But Michelle was there keeping everyone calm, making us look great, and making sure we stayed cool! Beyond highly recommended!

Michelle was so awesome to work with and we are so happy with how our pictures turned out! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and was available on many occasions to chat prior to the wedding so that we could hammer out the details. She helped me come up with a plan and gave me a lot of guidance on how to make sure the day went smoothly. She was incredibly responsive whenever I reached out with questions and we got our pictures back even quicker than I had expected.

Michelle was absolutely wonderful to work with for our May 2017 wedding in Virginia Beach. Even before the wedding, she was incredibly organized, responsive, and communicative, giving suggestions and helping guide us through what we wanted in our wedding photos, and bringing our ideas to life. She helped make our wedding day an absolute breeze, and gave us beautiful images to treasure forever. My husband generally dislikes having his photo taken, and doesn’t typically like looking at the photos that are taken of him. But after working with Michelle, he had nothing but wonderful things to say about her, and more importantly, he actually likes the photos of himself from our wedding day—a huge accomplishment! Her calm demeanor, organization, creativity, and fun-loving spirit were exactly what we needed in the midst of all the normal nerves that come with getting married. I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous about how our photos might turn out, as we had to move our ceremony indoors because it was downpouring on our wedding day, so we couldn’t go outside to get those beach shots we had originally planned for (thanks, Mother Nature). But even with this, Michelle had already scouted out the venue ahead of time just in case, finding lovely little spots to take indoor shots, and she captured some of the most beautiful images—among them some stunning photos of us standing in front of floor to ceiling windows, with the rain pounding against the windows and swirling around on the beach behind us. My photos are perfect. They capture our love, they capture the fun of the day, and I wouldn’t change a thing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for any photo needs.
