About

Hello my name is Michelle I am a photographer that also does Weddings as well as Engagement sessions. I have won top ten here on Thumbtack for the past 2 years. I have also been offered a lead photographer position with George Street Wedding Photographers, however I declined due to wanting to make sure my customers get my full attention! I have done more then 75 weddings,and I have been in just about any lighting conditions that there are which is not a problem since all my equipment is high end! I also bring along props if you should need them! I have done 146 weddings and counting!

*All of my Wedding packages include an engagement session,(I live on a park like hobby farm in Afton that most people have their engagement sessions at), however you are not limited to there.

*Your wedding day is one of the most important days, with your day package you will get all edited images on a custom flash drive in a presentation box with all printing rights, I also have the ability to print for you if needed.

*I will give you a sneak peak that same day of your wedding. Feel free to ask me any questions or to meet up with me. I can also be found on Facebook with all my sneak peeks.

*I have listed below my packages, however I am not limited to just those. I do custom fit packages to your need and budget as well!!!

It is best to email me directly at sschimek1@comcast.net or text me at 612-961-8603

Better than I could have imagined!!

Michelle worked to find a package that was fitting for what we were looking for. We met when we did our engagement photos and she was so nice and took the time to ask us questions and learn about more about. We had a ton of shots done and Michelle was so great to work with. For the wedding she met my expectations and beyond! She captured the moments I couldn’t and to make it even better that night by the end of the reception I was able to already get a sneak peak! My friends and family were in aw (as were we) that she had them available so quickly. Thanks so much Michelle I couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our special day 🥰

I found Michelle through a friend who had referred her because she did a phenomenal job, and was super friend and down to earth. My husband and I chose her and she had some great packages so we did our engagement pictures with her and they turned out great, I felt so honored to work with her on my wedding because she made it fun and I felt super comfortable working with her and her son in law. Plus on top of that my sneak peek wedding pictures turned out amazing, I can’t wait to get the rest

Michelle is a friendly, charming person and a very talented photographer. I'm not a photogenic person, but she made me feel so comfortable when taking engagement photos. I wasn't sure how the quality would be, since she is cheaper than other vendors, but we got a lot of good shots! It may not be the same level as going through a designer studio, but it was perfect for my fiance and I. We are excited for our wedding pictures in a couple weeks, and are thrilled that she let us save big bucks by allowing us to sign up for just a couple hours of photography instead of 6+ hours minimum like other vendors. I only need some formal pictures at the church, and my friends will take candid shots at the reception.

We were SO happy with Michelle for our engagement and wedding photographer. Michelle is so good at what she does. She is so creative and has so many fun ideas for pictures. We had so much fun during our engagement session and on our wedding day. Michelle made us feel comfortable and and her positive direction while taking pictures, was so easy to follow. We love all of the pictures she took so much that we can't decide on which ones we like best! I'd say that is a good problem to have. :) Michelle's services are extremely affordable. For what is included in the package, you can't find a better deal anywhere else. On our wedding day, dinner took a little while longer to serve than we had expected. Meaning we did not get to our first dances until after our time was up with Michelle and Tyler. They stayed anyway to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted. They didn't have to do this, but it just goes to show the quality of service that they provide! I would highly recommend Michelle-Schimek Photography!

Michelle did an amazing job on our wedding and engagement. Couldn't ask for a better photographer she truly gets to know you so she can really personalize the photos.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
