Michelle Sarkissian & Co. is a powerhouse collective of four visionary artists and a premier media assistant dedicated to the seamless execution of your day. Built on a foundation of unmatched service and genuine connection, we are honored to be by your side. Let’s capture the beauty, the emotion, and the undeniable magic of your Best Day Ever!

Our Team
The Visionary | Michelle
Michelle is the architectural force behind your visual legacy. As your creative director, she balances high-fashion editorial precision with the raw, unscripted truth of your story. More than a photographer, Michelle curates an atmosphere where you feel seen and celebrated. From the first mood board to the final gallery, she ensures every frame is a timeless masterpiece—meticulously composed, impeccably timed, and profoundly you.

The Empathy Lens | Adriana
While the main action unfolds, our second shooter is dedicated to the "other side" of the story. Hers are the eyes that catch the raw, true-life moments: a parent’s quiet tear, children at play, and the unscripted joy that happens in the periphery.

The Cinematic Intuit | Amy
Bringing a decade and a half of technical mastery and a gentle, observant eye, Amy creates films that are both personal and grand. She anticipates the rhythmic, unscripted beauty of your celebration, turning fleeting glances into timeless, cinematic masterpieces. She, with her company Love the Look Creative, has partnered with us at Michelle Sarkissian & Co. to offer video!

The Experience Curator | Steffy
The ultimate "dream come true" for every wedding. Steffy is our dedicated wedding-day guardian, ensuring the team stays fueled and performing at their peak. She manages dress fluffing, veil placement, and equipment logistics to keep the rhythm of the day effortless.

A Legacy for Every Love | The Heart of the Collective
In an industry that has far too often overlooked the beauty of diversity, Michelle Sarkissian & Co. stands for a different narrative. We reject the cowardice of neutrality; instead, we lead with the conviction that the LGBTQ+ community and marginalized voices deserve to see their stories told with the same high-fashion elevation and romantic depth as any other. Everyone deserves to see their bond reflected as a masterpiece.
Our approach is intentionally partner-centric. We move away from the traditional, bride-focused lens to focus on the collective energy of the couple. We are passionate about "hyping up" both individuals, ensuring that each person feels empowered, celebrated, and equally represented in the frame.
Whether we are capturing a quiet, sacred moment or a cinematic pose, our mission is to honor the profound beauty of your unique bond. We don't just document weddings; we champion the individuals behind them, ensuring both of you feel valued, confident, and entirely relaxed.

Highly recommend!

We couldn't be happier with the work Michelle did! From the very beginning, she made us feel at ease and truly understood our vision. Michelle is not only professional and punctual, but also a calming presence. Her photos are absolutely stunning—capturing every special moment with such beautiful detail and emotion. We love how she managed to get both candid shots and perfectly posed pictures without ever feeling intrusive. We’ve received so many compliments on the photos, and we’re so grateful for the lasting memories she has given us. Highly recommend!

Stunning Product & Exceptional Service

We are absolutely blown away by the work of Michelle Sarkissian. From the very beginning, it was clear that Michelle doesn’t just take photos; she truly loves what she does. She made a genuine effort to get to know us as a couple and as a family, which allowed her to capture our most intimate perfectly. What truly set her apart was her incredible heart and thoughtfulness. Michelle went above and beyond by making a special effort with our two-year-old son. She even brought him a gift to help keep him busy and happy on the wedding day! This level of care is so rare and meant the world to us during the chaos of a wedding. While we did wait a little longer than expected for our previews, we were stunned to receive a gallery of over 300 images! It was far more than we anticipated, and the wait was well worth the product. Every single person who has seen our photos has immediately commented on the high quality, the beautiful edits, and her uncanny ability to capture the emotion of a moment. Michelle and her team are true professionals, and we are counting down the days until we receive the rest of our gallery. We cannot recommend her highly enough and look forward to working with her again very soon!

This is your sign, ladies!

Oh boy, where do I start!!!!!! It’s been taking me 3 days to write this because I still feel like it’s not good enough to capture how much of a blessing Michelle has been. She was the only vendor we found through the Knot and her reviews were actually the reason we booked her (and she worked with us on the price). Needless to say, she has been a gift from Jesus! From wedding preparation/planning to the day off….. PERFECTION IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. We actually didn’t hire a wedding planner, but she helped with all the details we needed help with. She responds to ALL texts literally within minutes and she’s so extremely thorough! She created a detailed agenda for every minute to ensure every moment was captured. My husband and I trusted her completely. She has gone above and beyond in every aspect, including working additional hours outside the contracted time, sending extra previews, coming to the rehearsal the day of, driving back-and-forth, and sooo much more. Like come on now!!!!!!
She will be the ONLY wedding photographer that I will recommend for the rest of my life!!!!!! An answered prayer, truly!! BOOK MICHELLE!!!!!!! You will not regret it!!!!!!!!

Truly one of a kind!

From the very first conversation, Michelle was an absolute joy to work with. She is incredibly kind, attentive, and exceptionally talented, with a vision that is truly unmatched. What sets her apart is how deeply she got to know us as a couple—listening to our stories, understanding what mattered to us, and then thoughtfully weaving those details into the way she curated our photos.
She even incorporated intricate traditional elements simply because we had mentioned them in passing during our conversations. That level of care, and intention is rare. Michelle stayed in close touch with us for over a year throughout the planning process and was always prompt, responsive, and professional—not only with us, but with every vendor she collaborated with, including the videographer, wedding planner, hotel catering team, florist, and DJ.
She established a genuine personal connection with us, and that connection is not only felt but beautifully seen in our photos. The level of support, reassurance, and calm she provided throughout the entire journey was incredible. Michelle was always well prepared, consistently on time, and dedicated to her craft.
From our initial interview, through planning, rehearsal, and the wedding day itself, her passion, vision, and attention to detail were evident at every step. And the final result—our photos—are beyond anything we could have imagined. They are the most beautiful photos we have ever seen. Every single person who attended our wedding has commented that they have never seen such special, meaningful photographs.
Looking at our pictures literally transports us back and allows us to relive the most incredible day of our lives. We are endlessly grateful to Michelle for capturing our wedding with so much heart, artistry, and care.
She is truly extraordinary!
We are eternally grateful

A Photographer with a Vibe!

As a coordinator, working with the photographer your couple chooses is extremely important. These couples invest a lot into their day, and Michelle absolutely matched the vibe! We were able to run through the timeline and photo list smoothly and efficiently. Our personalities clicked instantly, and working together felt second nature. I highly recommend Michelle; she’s open to new ideas, flexible, and pivots with ease.

Incredible!

One word: WOW! Michelle and her amazing second shooter, Adriana, truly went above and beyond all expectations. They are so personable and creative. They were clear communicators and made us feel so loved and supported. During the pre-wedding planning process, Michelle answered all communications in a timely manner, respected my creative input and provided so much professional expertise to guide our plan for the day. She helped me build out my whole timeline. My bridesmaids were raving about her attention to detail and caring nature. I have not received the photos back yet (I’m only 2 days out) but I have no doubt they will be everything I always dreamed of and more. I’m attaching some of the engagement photos she took and will add more from the wedding when I get them in!
 
And Adriana is just like Michelle! They work so well together. She focused more on the groom and groomsmen with so much patience and kindness. Both of these ladies are class acts.
 
Perhaps most unexpected, Michelle and Adriana took care of several coordinator-type issues that were truly out of their responsibility. There were a few logistical things that went wrong with timing (there always is!!) and they were by my side and my husband’s side the ENTIRE NIGHT. Michelle and Adriana, I can’t thank you enough for everything. You not only captured the day, but made it happen!! Love, Mr. and Mrs. Solis

I need to submit my photos to a magazine they’re so GOOD!

I can’t sing enough praises to Michelle and her assistant. From day one, she has been incredible. Communicative, understanding, and genuinely FUN! She made me laugh and the positive energy never stopped. Her assistant was incredible. She made my very shy daughter come out of her shell for some amazing photos for her to look back on. For all of us to look back on. Having her was the best thing we could’ve done for such amazing photos.

Michelle took our engagement photos and we had the best time! It was our first time taking any sort of professional photos and she made us feel so at ease and comfortable the whole time when posing. We also included our dog in a lot of the photos which was so special!! Michelle is so kind and truly such a pleasure to work with!! Can’t wait for her to photograph our wedding next year!!

Pure Magic — The Perfect Wedding Photography Experience

Michelle and her assistant Adriana were absolutely incredible from the very first phone call through the entire wedding experience. From the start, Michelle made us feel confident and cared for. On our wedding day, it poured, but you would never know it from how positive, calm, and patient they both were. They kept everyone smiling and helped us stay relaxed and present through it all.

They went above and beyond to bring our must have photo requests to life and somehow made the lighting and backgrounds look perfect despite the weather. Their work is pure magic.

The preview photos took our breath away. They perfectly captured the emotion, beauty, and joy of the day. Every time we look at them, we feel like we’re right back in that moment. Michelle, you are so talented, and we are beyond thankful for everything you did to make our day so special. We cannot wait to see the full gallery. You were an absolute joy to work with and we could not recommend you more highly.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
