Michelle was a perfect photographer for my wedding. Not only was she very professional and prompt, she did a fabulous job on the pictures. The quality of the albums are outstanding and will last for a long time. Her services have been prompt and easy accessible for any questions or concerns.

Michelle shot our Engagement session in Brooklyn right before we moved back to CA. And I'm so glad we have her pictures as memories of our life on the east coast. She was super easy to work with and made us comfortable in front of the camera. She was adventurous in where she wanted to shoot and because of it we had some very unique shots. Thanks Michelle for everything!

Michelle was very professional and personal. She caused zero stress and made the entire day fun and easy. Her pictures were amazing and she was very fast at getting the final prints to us. We loved having her and I would recommend her to any bride.

My wife contacted Michelle on a friend's recommendation to photograph our wedding. On our first meeting we were immediately impressed by Michelle's obvious talent and we found her very easy to get along with. Just as important, we were really happy that instead of charging us a standard "wedding" fee that ran into the thousands, Michelle gave us an affordable quote that reflected the simplicity of our plans and the short time commitment required of her. We felt very comfortable hiring her and we are very glad we did.

We could not be happier with the pictures we got from Michelle. She has a fantastic eye and her compositional skills are terrific. She was also a whiz at directing everyone in our group quickly, efficiently, and politely. As someone who doesn't usually like the way I look in pictures, I think the highest praise I can give Michelle is that I think I look really good in some of the pics of me that she took.

Like so many photographers now she uses digital exclusively (which we prefer), and of the thousand or so shots she must have taken that day, returned to us 200 fantastic photos. She turned around the photos very quickly (she had some pics up on her blog just a few days after our wedding which was great because we could share some images with friends from all over the world who couldn't be with us).

Michelle is fantastic and we look forward to hiring her again.

Michelle can work wonders! Our wedding pictures five years ago didn't turn out well so I wanted to retake them for our anniversary. I found Michelle through a friend of a friend. She's awesome!! Our anniversary pictures came out perfectly!!
