Great to work with large families and children hating photos! So much fun and captures gorgeous photos!

Michale did an amazing job as the photographer for our wedding! From the moment we booked with her, she was a huge help during the planning process. I planned my wedding in just 40 days, and she went above and beyond to help me figure out the timeline for the day and set realistic expectations. I would have had a much harder time finalizing my ceremony timeline and details without her help!
On the day of the wedding, she was everywhere she needed to be, organizing family and friends, capturing all the detail shots we talked about. My husband and I felt so comfortable with her and she matched our energy so we could be our genuine selves throughout our first look and couple photos.
One of our sons is autistic and usually hates having his photo taken. Michale made him feel so comfortable and even managed to get genuine smiles and only minor complaints. We have a large family and she did a great job getting everyone together efficiently - I love when a photographer takes control of the group and she did that!
The day goes by way too quickly, I’m so glad that we were sent to Michale and she was available for our wedding day. We have so many beautiful memories she captured for us! I love the eye she has for photos and she helps bring out your personality in her photos.

Another photography session with Mississippi Pearl💞

I absolutely love Michale. She did my senior photos, then went on to do engagement, boudoir, and wedding with her. She is a blast, but also very comforting, organized, & supportive when needed. When stressful times would arise on wedding day, she stepped in to help where she was able. When I was anxious through wedding planning, she was as responsive and explanatory to help me best understand expectations and how to best proceed with my timeline, photography list, or simple perspectives on other weddings she’s been apart of. Her professional expertise was helpful in the planning phase, but even better when it came to photo time during the big day. She was efficient in working off of the list of each photo requested that we finalized 2 weeks before the wedding. I cannot recommend her enough and everyone apart of the photo process would agree. On top of all that, I’ve loved every single photo she’s shared with us, and we’ve only seen a handful of them! Thank you so much Michale with Mississippi Pearl Photo!

Beautiful wedding photos and lovely to work with!

Michale was the BEST photographer I could’ve ever imagined! She made me and my husband feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful on our wedding day. She was our biggest hype woman. Not only are our wedding photos insanely beautiful, she also ensured that I was genuinely having a good time at my wedding and not worrying about small/planning things. She took initiative, made quick decisions when needed, and shielded me from any problems. I could not be more grateful to have had Michale as my photographer!

They had me at the eye lash glue

Not only did they take incredible photos of our wedding day and engagement session. They also went above and beyond when one of my eye lashes started falling off. Michale's husband saved the day with eye lash glue time and time again that day. They understood the importance of having my grandmothers there and made sure they not only got pictures of them, but also let me know when they were leaving so I could say goodbye. These are just a few of the examples of them going above and beyond their call of duty. I loved working with them and would recommend them to anyone and everyone. They made our day extra special and assisted in keeping me calm. Michale was the real MVP of our day.

So pleased!

I have never been one that feels very comfortable in front of a camera, but Michale from Mississippi Pearl Photography made my husband and I feel so at ease during both our engagement session and during our big day!

My husband and I also have large families (with lots of kids) and had a large wedding party, which we knew didn’t make our wedding easy. We were so pleased that she was able to capture absolutely stunning images that we will always cherish! I cannot speak highly enough of Michale’s professionalism, attitude, and quality of work.

You're wrong if you don't choose Mississippi Pearl!

There just aren’t words to describe how lucky we feel to have found Michale and Mississippi Pearl! I want to shout her praises from any and every rooftop – she was such a blessing to have around on our wedding day! From the first time we met I knew she was going to be the biggest help. Wedding planning (especially throughout a pandemic) was stressful but she helped guide us through every question we threw at her. She was a HUGE hit among my family and friends as well, she catered to everyone and still captured STUNNING photos that we will treasure forever. I had a giant smile on my face going through our photos – she caught every detail while still somehow being so present and focused on us throughout the day! She absolutely did more than I could expect from a photographer – she basically kept us on track the entire day! If you’re hesitating – don’t! Michale is fantastic!!

You won't be disappointed!

The "photographer search" was the longest, hardest decision of all of our wedding planning, mostly because it was the most important to us! It began long ago, and Michale has helped us through so much of planning our wedding. We were more than impressed with our engagement photos, which allowed me to have no worries at all for what would come on our wedding day. I am a teacher and like things planned out, something Michale and I both share. Every question I had, at any time of day, I would message Michale and would receive a response right back. She helped me plan so much more than just photos for the wedding day. She helped outline our entire itinerary (numerous times), listened to my likes/dislikes in choosing locations, drove far distances to prepare herself and become knowledgeable for our big day, and so much more. Her amazing husband was our assistant on our wedding day. He pampered me, got me water when I needed it, held my lipstick, all while Michale made sure my guests were looking sharp in photos and making sure my grandparents were comfortable. Thank you so much Michale (and your crew) for listening to my crazy ideas and helping capture our wedding day perfectly. You are now not just our wedding photographer, but a friend for life! Thank you. ♥️

Engagement and Wedding photographer

This woman is more than just a photographer! Her photos for our engagement session and wedding were absolutely STUNNING and we are so thankful to have those memories. Michale went above and beyond to help us find other quality vendors in the area. She even found a hair stylist within days of our previous one canceling on us. She is extremely knowledgeable in her craft as well as helping brides find other vendors who match their vision.
