Friendly, reliable, talented!

We have such a great experience working with Michelle! She got lots of great posed shots of us with our wedding party. And she also got a lot of candies of our guests. She was great at communication before, during, and after our big day. I would highly recommend her.

Wedding/Engagement

I've known Michelle for a long time and her work has always been outstanding so when I got engaged/married, I knew I wanted her to be our photographer. She is so personable that she makes taking photos easy and feel more natural. She pays attention to the slightest details, such as making sure clothes aren't bunched or that your ring isn't crooked. She tries to be as flexible as possible while keeping your party on task to give you the best experience and end product. She also did an amazing job of capturing our guests at our reception. I highly recommend working with Michelle. ❤️

Engagement / Wedding Photographer

I’ve known Michelle for a little while now and she is absolutely amazing! She does beautiful/ quality work and knows how to keep the party focused on the task. She will make you laugh if the smiles aren’t looking natural and she will make sure your clothes aren’t bunched weird or out of place. I felt nervous about having photos taken, but her vibe just makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. You will not regret working with her!

Perfectly captured our day

Michelle, of Michelle Martin Photography, captured our wedding day perfectly. I’ve known Michelle since our school days and have always admired and enjoyed her work. When it came time to hire for our wedding day, I was thrilled that she was available and able to be part of the day.

Michelle spent time prior to the actual day learning more about us as a couple and getting our vision for what we hoped our day would be. Using this info, she was able to suggest locations, styles, and poses that worked for us.

Her recommendations and guidance really made the difference. We were able to do an engagement session ahead and it was great - we got to practice being in front of the camera and she got to see us together. I think this really helped us ensure a great plan for our special day!!

We had to change our wedding date due to covid, and michelle was so flexible as we
Navigated the changes.

I highly recommend Michelle for your photo needs, she is extremely talented and captured our day perfectly.

She was great, would recommend!

To say Michelle did a wonderful job would be an understatement. She was very easy to contact and made planning a breeze. I also had a leg injury shortly before the wedding and she was very accommodating and attentive to my needs. 10/10 recommend!

Couldn’t have asked for better!

Michelle was perfect from the first time we spoke! She’s so easy going yet professional, and made me feel at ease that she understood what I was looking for in my photographs. The day of the wedding she was right where I needed her at all times, even sneaking in some unplanned shots, and rescuing me from my crazy family! The shots came out stunning and I couldn’t be happier.

Great photographs!

Michelle went to our venue and scoped out good photo locations before - she had everything worked up and when my makeup artist was taking too long she just rolled through the time changes easily!

We initially connected with Michelle because of a heart-felt cause - when she heard our need, she stepped forward with enthusiasm and love. Love - that is a huge word in Michelle’s life. You know she really, really loves her daughter and her husband and so many others - you see it in every photo. And she loves her work as a photographer and you see that love, again, in each photo she takes. Michelle has a unique ability to captures each person’s unique sparkle which, when touched by her ingenuity, becomes almost magical. And it is not just about clicking the camera - it is her ability to click with the people she is photographing so they open themselves up to real moments and real feelings which Michelle then preserves forever. You have to see her work to understand so check her out - there is no doubt you will be touched and impressed by what you see!
