Once West Photography

Once West did a wonderful job for our October Wedding in Steamboat Springs. Leading up to the wedding Michele was prompt, professional, and open to everything we wanted. Day-of we were particular in that we wanted a lot of candid photos and Preston did a great job! You couldn't even tell he was there! Would one hundred percent recommend!

Michele with ONCE WEST was our engagement and wedding photographer. Both my husband and I (and our family and friends) could not say enough good things about her. We chose Michele because of her experience with mountain weddings and because we felt her style was both beautiful and very natural; as such, we felt that she would be able to capture the joy and love of our wedding day, all without making it feeling forced or poised, and create memories that we could look back on for decades to come. This proved to be completely true. Her photographs are STUNNING and we could not be happier that we chose to work with her.

Beyond her talents as a photographer, Michele herself was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was fun to talk to, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, despite the fact that especially I felt stiff and awkward. In addition, her attention to detail and the little personal touches to her services were lovely surprises that brought us joy long before and after the wedding, and made us feel cared for as clients. It is clear she has chosen this job as a vocation, and her passion for her work was apparent in both her interactions with us and in the incredible photos she shared with us. Put simply, she is an artist.

If we are lucky enough to have another occasion for professional photography, we would and will choose Michele in a heartbeat. Thank you, Michele, for everything!

Michelle is absolutely amazing!!! Her and her husband were a joy to work with and captured every moment so magically and authentically. The experience was so seamless, and she made it so easy and stress free on us. We were able to enjoy the day to the fullest knowing that they would capture the magic of the day. We will forever cherish these photos and memories. Michelle also shot our engagement photos, which are just as priceless. I highly recommend Once West!
