  Absolutely Amazing

  I could not have imagined having another photographer on my wedding day. Michelle was amazing. She made everything relaxed and the pictures turned out perfectly. I would recommend her to any bride.

  I found Michelle by doing a search in our local area for our engagement photos. We communicated regularly up until our session and she was so responsive to emails and even offered to chat via text if we needed anything. My fiancé and I were nervous about having a photo session, but let me tell you - Michelle can make anyone’s feel like you’ve known her forever. She gave us ideas for poses and could tell immediately where the good light and good colors were. Even the quick previews we saw on her camera looked amazing and those hadn’t even been edited yet! We clicked instantly with Michelle and decided during our engagement session to book her for our wedding photography. Our photos came out BEAUTIFULLY - better than I could have imagined! Please do yourself a favor and book Michelle as your photographer! She has such a talent for photographing people and capturing special moments. We are so grateful to have found Michelle!

  If you’re looking for a professional photographer who knows exactly what they’re doing, then Michelle is it! After a lot of back and forth (due to the weather and scheduling) Michelle stayed patient and worked with us to get photos taken right in the middle of the cherry blossom festival. She worked some kind of magic because she made it look like it was only my fiancé and I! We’ve never taken professional photos before, but she helped guide us to get exactly what we had envisioned for our engagement photos. If you’re looking for great value, without sacrificing those soft hints of romanticism, Michelle is the only way to go. We liked her so much, we got her for our wedding! I highly recommend her (especially to the military folks out there)!

  Michelle is just fantastic! She is the sweetest person and amazing at her job. She was so kind to our family (even when they got in the way!) and incredibly creative with our bride and groom photoshoot. You really can't ask for a better photographer on your wedding day! Thank you Michelle + team for making our wedding day one to remember :)

  Michelle is an amazing photographer! She is very professional, flexible, and super sweet. She was so accommodating for my fiance and I. My fiance had to take off work for us to get our engagement photos taken and the day we schedule to take them it was so rainy and gloomy out. I was worried because I didn't want to cancel and my fiance have to ask off work again. Michelle came up with a quick solution and found the cutest historical hotel in downtown Alexandria and so we took our photos inside. They turned out so beautiful. I am really glad that we didn't have reschedule and she saw the glass half full! She really does amazing work and we can not wait for her to capture our wedding day. We are so thankful we found Michelle! So look no further for your photographer and choose Arising Light Photography!

  Michelle is a very talents photographer and we can't wait to have her there for our big day. As part of our package, she included an engagement session and I'm not exaggerating when I say that the last time my fiance and I had professional pictures taken we were seniors in high school. But Michelle made us feel at ease and even sent us some ideas via Pinterest before our session. The pictures were beautiful and a great trial run before the wedding photos. Michelle even touched up a few of our weird/double-chin-inducing angles to make the shots look perfect.

  You guys are such a lovely match and it was a blast working together! I agree that it is nice to have a pre-wedding day warm up "engagement" session though and I'm so happy to know you guys felt at ease! I loved that we tried some new locations and fun ideas! Time is ticking till your big day!!!

  Michelle was awesome to work with. Great communication and flexible. She was on time for all of our meetings and on the wedding day. She had plan B & C, which was helpful given the rain. I received my photos back sooner than promised. Most importantly, our pictures are beautiful! Thank you Michelle!

  Michelle was so great to work with! She is very detail-oriented which enabled me to get all of the pictures that were important to me. She worked with my budget and was flexible with our financial needs. I appreciated her easygoing personality as well as she helped me to relax throughout the day and made it really fun for us! I recommend Michelle highly!
