Hi, I'm Michelle! I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for 17 years. I am passionate about capturing emotion, documenting milestones, and preserving the moments that mean the most to you. With nearly two decades in the wedding industry, I've seen every trend, worked with all types of family dynamics, and photographed weddings across diverse cultures. I go beyond photography, helping you craft a seamless timeline and even putting together your family formals. I learn about your family dynamics and handle the details so you don't have to. I have a degree in photography and business, was classically trained in film, and have been a full-time photographer since 2008. I personally lead every wedding, ensuring consistency and quality. I never subcontract out lead photographers.

A little about me: I've been married since 2007 and became a mom in 2016 to my daughter. In 2020, my family and I moved from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando to be closer to the theme parks and create a better family life. I love all things weird and spooky, I'm obsessed with vibrant colors even though all I wear is black (I'm trying!), and I am a homeschool mom! I'm passionate about everything I commit myself to.

I also offer Videography, Content Creation, and Boudoir Photography!

Michelle Vila Photography is a wedding photographer in Winter Garden, Florida.

Professional, timely and a pleasure to work with!

I couldn’t have asked for more for your photography experience. The photos came out beautifully. Michelle and her team caught all the special moments and more. I recommend them any time I hear that someone is getting married. You can’t go wrong with Minerva.

Amazing experience and gorgeous photos

Michelle did our photography for our wedding in December 2021 and I will sing her praises forever!! Our photos came out so beautiful and we couldn’t be happier. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with. From the second she walked in on our wedding day, she took charge and put all of us ant ease. Even leading up to the wedding, she offered advice for more than just photography. I felt like I could ask her anything about advice or tips for our wedding. She was by far the most organized and thorough vendor we had. She thought of absolutely everything beforehand so that on the day of we knew what photos and where they would be taken. She made us feel so comfortable and our photos came out natural. Michelle took away the wedding day stress and was such an amazing guide throughout the day. Trust me, you need her!

A photographer that covers all your needs

We got married in Winter Park, FL and had Minerva Photography for our special day. Michelle was knowledgable, professional, punctual and a pleasure to work with as we planned our out of state wedding. She not only does beautiful photography but offers videography and other add on packages which helped us get exactly what we were looking for to capture all aspects of the day. The online gallery and ordering process made keepsakes for all an easy process and I recommend her books as well.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
