Best, best, best, best!

Michelle was a pleasure to work with from our very first correspondence. She is so easy to work with, takes charge, and has an amazing eye for photographing. We LOVED all of our photos - engagement, wedding, and final album she put together for us. I can't speak more highly of her warmth and professionalism.

Do not hesitate, hire Michelle!

We hired Michelle for our wedding and wow... where do I start?? Michelle and her assistant were INCREDIBLE! They were super friendly, thoughtful, funny, helpful and just made us feel incredible comfortable! My husband and I are shy people who do not like to be the center of attention and do not like to get our pictures taken, so we were both anxious about it. As soon as they started, we ended up actually having so much fun, laughing and having a great time getting our pictures taken! I have seen a few sneak peeks and am already in tears at how beautifully they turned out. I CANNOT wait to see how the others turned out! We will 100% be working with her again in the future! Thank you Michelle for the wonderful memories!
Definitely do not hesitate and hire Valley Images Photography for your next event, you will not regret it!

1000/10 Recommend!

Michelle was absolutely amazing!! She made the day even more special for my husband and me. And I am obsessed with every single picture she developed. I cannot wait to frame and canvas them and put them up all over my house. I must also add that neither of us is "natural" in front of the camera, and the shots came out as natural as can be! We used Michelle for our engagement photos as well. We loved having her along for our entire journey!

Talented and Easy to Work With

Michelle is a talented photographer who captured a lot of great candid photos of our day (my favorite type of photos!). We never felt like she was interfering in our day with excessive posing. She is quick and seemed to blend into the background at our wedding while capturing all the details. Plus, she is super friendly and easy to work with. From engagement photos to ordering my wedding album, she was a dream to work with!

Perfect Wedding Photographer

Booked for our December wedding and I could not picked a better photographer! She was professional and fun, which you can see in our pictures. Highly recommend for Catholic Church ceremonies and portraits. Will definitely book again on other milestones in our lives!!

Perfection that went above and beyond

Michelle is not only a phenomenal photographer but also an amazing individual. There is a passion she has that is non-existent in larger companies. Both of our galleries are amazing (engagement and wedding) - and she is easily able to make you feel comfortable when you think how awkward posing can be. We had a minimal shot list - and she was able to work her magic in every photograph. I would hire her for any professional photo sessions in the future!

Friendly, professional, and amazing photos!

Michelle did a great job as our photographer, listening to what we wanted, and delivering on many accounts! She was friendly all throughout and had an amazing eye for colors in our photos. She even managed to get us photos to share with family in time for Thanksgiving. Thank you for the beautiful photos!
