We got married at Cypress Creek Farmhouse and Minerva was on their list of vendors for us to choose from. We are so happy we chose them our pictures came out absolutely beautiful even more so than I expected! Michelle and her husband were wonderful to work with and they were extremely professional. We had a few phone consultations before hand and she gave us a detailed itinerary for the day and extra tips to make things go smoothly and everything went perfect! She got our pictures to us sooner than expected as well which was wonderful! I am so incredibly happy with our pictures and I cannot wait to print them! I highly recommend Minerva Photography!:)

Minerva Photography is wonderful!
I cannot say enough that is wonderful about Michelle! I saw her work at an expo, and after I showed her portfolio to my now-husband we agreed to hire her. She is super organized and with just a couple of video calls we worked out what was most important to us for the ceremony and our family photos/reception candids. She’s super responsive over email, and gave us great advice for fitting in everything we wanted. We got the photos back after only five weeks (11/2/22 wedding, so during Christmas season too!) and they are GORGEOUS and I want to print every single one of them, if only I had enough wall space. I feel self-conscious and my husband is a self-proclaimed “Chandler” when it comes to photos, but we had the best time getting our portraits and had so much fun with our family and bridal party. All the photos we asked for were there, and the detail shots are exquisite! When we do a vow renewal, Michelle will be our first call!

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!

Absolutely the BEST!
We first found Minerva Photography through a venue magazine that had a beautiful veil photo and my husband pointed to that ad and said, "We are hiring this person!" An engagement photo shoot and very long wedding day photo session later we are so grateful that we did! We now have timeless beautiful photos and our very own stunning veil shot.
Michelle was one of our most important and favorite parts of our wedding day. She was on-time, energetic, enthusiastic, professional, and all around just perfect. She was so crucial in keeping us on time, but also capturing many beautiful moments. We had a very long wedding day that consisted of our Chinese ceremony followed by the traditional wedding ceremony. This involved two locations, two getting ready, two outfit changes, two ceremonies, and pretty much double of all formal photos, but she never relented in getting everything perfect for us. She is so easily inspired by her environment and has such a talented eye for beautiful shots. Even a month after our wedding my family still compliments Michelle because of how great she is! Highly recommend you call and book her now!

Professional Photographers
Not only did we receive AMAZING photos from these talents ladies but they also helped keep all of our other vendors on our wedding timeline. Seriously, they do it all. Great communication, easy to work with, and affordable (don't be afraid to spend those $$s for this service, you won't regret it).

They highlighted an already beautiful day
The Minerva team, despite COVID affecting their original plans, made due with what resources they had available, and knocked it out of the park. An absolutely memorable experience having them there and being incredibly helpful and kind, we would recommend Minerva to any couple.

Minerva Photography is a winner!
I met Michelle from Minerva Photography at a Wedding Expo well over a year before our wedding was scheduled. She followed up in a timely and professional manner. They worked so well with our wedding planner too. Michelle and her team are professional, knowledgeable and friendly! They made everyone feel comfortable and you hardy knew they were there during the event. I have been to weddings where the photographers are all over the place and it takes away from the event. This is not the case at all. I don't know how they captured such amazing photographs and video. Most of the event took place outside so they had to deal with sun and wind and some thirsty people in a wedding party and they pulled it off without a hitch (no pun intended). Need to mention: the wedding of over 100 people took place at our home which can add to more confusion but they captured it all beautifully. I highly recommend the video too. There was so so many things that we just didn't see or remember and he captured all our special moments and put them to music too. Thank you!

Amazing!!!
I was a covid bride suppose to get married back in March 2020, We postponed to September 2020 and Michelle was so supportive and understanding of everything we were going through. A couple of weeks before the wedding she makes sure she has everything planned out for your big day and goes over wedding shots, timeline, details and just catches up on how wedding planning is. The day finally came and she was punctual, organized and ready to start shooting as soon as she walked into my house! She captured every single part of my wedding perfectly, which was very important to me because I did not get video. The turn around for getting my pictures was about a month and when I saw them I cried and relived my wedding all over again. I cannot thank Michelle enough for capturing my wedding and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer.

Amazing photographer
From the time I talked to Michelle, I knew she was the right person for our wedding. Michelle was very organize and very professional. The pictures were amazing. I love how attentive she was to detail. When I renew my vows I hope she’s still around. Thank You Michelle.

The best experience ever
In all of the hustle and bustle of planning a wedding the one thing I knew I would not compromise on was my wedding photos. I had been through the ringer on all platforms and multiple bridal shows when I went back through my stack of brochures I had accumulated over the months and decide to pick those that spoke to me. I only ended up with about 3 and I started and ended with Michelle. The first meeting solidified everything I wanted in my Photographer especially after some Game of Thrones chit-chat. Every step of the way was professional, organized, and accommodating. We booked her and her videography partners to ensure a seamless collaboration and it was EXCEPTIONAL. We decided to cut a few moments from our initial schedule (garter toss etc.) and the team adapted immediately. We got married in a garden and unfortunately in Florida rain is unpredictable and we got a bit but she still made it work. We have the most gorgeous photos and its all because Michelle went above and beyond crouching the smallest corners, climbing on whatever she could find to get the perfect shot and it shows. She was so amazing my best friend booked her for her wedding this fall. I will always recommend Michelle to anyone that needs a wedding photographer.

professional and impeccable!
Michelle and Carlos were fantastic! Michelle responded quickly to my inquiry and was very flexible when scheduling our initial meeting. She was professional and prepared with multiple examples of their work, for my (now) husband and I to review. She photographed our engagement session, again being flexible and understanding when I cancelled our first appointment after a hair/makeup trial had gone horribly wrong! She helped my husband and I relax, to make for incredible photos (as we tend to be goofy and horrible at being in photos, LOL).
Michelle always had great response times to any question/text/email I sent. She provided me with a great timeline for the day of our wedding, to ensure we got all the shots we wanted, while staying on time. Carlos was a stealthy ninja throughout the day and night, helping Michelle to capture some fantastic shots and going largely unnoticed, haha!
My husband and I were very pleased with their work and our wedding album! We highly recommend!
Minerva was a pleasure to work with. Her funny personalty maid every one feel comfortable and at ease. Her pictures where amazing, the quality of work it great, Really liked her work and look forward in working with her again.
Michelle is a great photographer to work with. She is very professional and her pictures are amazing.
