Michelle Whitley Photography

Hi, I'm Michelle and I'm so glad you're here! I am dually-based in both Washington, DC and Jackson, MS, specializing in photographing thoughtful and joyful outdoor weddings throughout the East Coast and Southeastern United States.

My photos are often described as romantic, soft, and timeless. As a hybrid photographer, I utilize both traditional film and digital photography to capture love stories. I crave the flexibility I get using both mediums. I'm able to produce a timeless, romantic photograph on film while maintaining the speed and reliability of a digital backup system.

I love working with couples who are deeply in love and value the experience of their wedding day with close family and friends. My shooting style is classic and joyful with a bit of editorial flair. I use my surroundings and the given natural light to create emotive images unique to the energy of each relationship. It's important to me that we get to know each other so I can get on that level with you.

Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision because those photos are going to be the only reminder of what your day was like. It's not just about documenting, but truly capturing the feeling of the day. Every time you look at your images I want you to remember how it felt to be there. Let me tell your story in a way that allows you to relive those moments over and over again.
