    She was great, would recommend!

    To say Michelle did a wonderful job would be an understatement. She was very easy to contact and made planning a breeze. I also had a leg injury shortly before the wedding and she was very accommodating and attentive to my needs. 10/10 recommend!

    Couldn’t have asked for better!

    Michelle was perfect from the first time we spoke! She’s so easy going yet professional, and made me feel at ease that she understood what I was looking for in my photographs. The day of the wedding she was right where I needed her at all times, even sneaking in some unplanned shots, and rescuing me from my crazy family! The shots came out stunning and I couldn’t be happier.

    Great photographs!

    Michelle went to our venue and scoped out good photo locations before - she had everything worked up and when my makeup artist was taking too long she just rolled through the time changes easily!

    Friendly, reliable, talented!

    We have such a great experience working with Michelle! She got lots of great posed shots of us with our wedding party. And she also got a lot of candies of our guests. She was great at communication before, during, and after our big day. I would highly recommend her.

    The Best of the Best!

    Hiring Michelle was one of the best decisions we made while planning our special day. She is professional, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly talented. She is also the main reason our day ran as smooth as it did. She took the time to really listen to what we wanted so she could make our vision come to life. Michelle captured countless special moments that we will now get to enjoy for a lifetime and we are forever grateful for that.

    Michelle is a remarkable blend of talent and kindness

    We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Michelle capture the magic of our wedding day. From the first click of her camera to the last, she not only demonstrated unmatched talent, but she also became a true friend.

    When looking for a photographer, we wanted to find someone that made us feel completely comfortable. Michelle has this remarkable ability to make you feel at ease in front of the lens, turning what could have been awkward moments into genuine expressions of joy. I can honestly say Michelle is one of the nicest people I have EVER met. Her kindness and warmth are as evident as her skill, creating a dynamic that made us forget we were being photographed and instead allowed us to be present in every beautiful moment.

    From the initial consultation to the final moments of our celebration, Michelle went above and beyond by guiding us through the planning process with invaluable insights. Her keen eye for detail and creative vision ensured that every moment was beautifully preserved. Michelle's dedication extended beyond photography; she actively contributed to the seamless flow of our day, offering assistance wherever needed. Her passion for her craft and genuine care for our wedding made Michelle an indispensable part of our journey.

    What truly sets Michelle apart is her genuine connection with people. She seamlessly became a part of our celebration, mingling with our families and guests with a level of kindness that left everyone smiling. Our family and friends couldn't stop talking about how wonderful she was, not just as a photographer, but as a person who added an extra layer of joy to our day.

    The comments pouring in about Michelle weren't just about her photography skills (which are exceptional), but also about her infectious positivity and genuine interest in the people she was capturing. It's rare to find someone who can balance professionalism with such a warm, friendly demeanor.

    Looking through the stunning photos, we're not just reliving the moments, but also the emotions and the connections. Michelle didn't just capture images; she encapsulated the essence of our love story, and for that, we are forever grateful.

    Without a doubt, we will be reaching out to Michelle for future milestones. She isn't just a photographer; she's a friend who played a vital role in making our day extraordinary. Thank you, Michelle, for your incredible talent, your kindness, and for being a part of our journey. We can't wait for the next chapter where we get to work with you again!

    Wedding/Engagement

    I've known Michelle for a long time and her work has always been outstanding so when I got engaged/married, I knew I wanted her to be our photographer. She is so personable that she makes taking photos easy and feel more natural. She pays attention to the slightest details, such as making sure clothes aren't bunched or that your ring isn't crooked. She tries to be as flexible as possible while keeping your party on task to give you the best experience and end product. She also did an amazing job of capturing our guests at our reception. I highly recommend working with Michelle. ❤️

    Engagement / Wedding Photographer

    I’ve known Michelle for a little while now and she is absolutely amazing! She does beautiful/ quality work and knows how to keep the party focused on the task. She will make you laugh if the smiles aren’t looking natural and she will make sure your clothes aren’t bunched weird or out of place. I felt nervous about having photos taken, but her vibe just makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. You will not regret working with her!

    Excellent!!

    She took mine and my wife's engagement pictures. She knew what she was doing, the best spot to take pics, SO funny and friendly, happy and bubbly, and just made things so easy and comfortable. I recommend, and will continue to, Michelle to those who are in search of a photographer!! We love her and our photos

    Amazing Photography

    Michelle was absolutely fantastic to work with. Her photos were beautiful and she had many ideas for photos, and used her environment beautifully. I would highly recommend working with her. I know I’ll continue to go to her for our future photos.

    Fantastic!

    Michelle was fantastic from start to finish. We knew from the first time we met with her that she was going to make our wedding day a ton of fun! We did a first look and got most of our photos done prior to the wedding meaning we had some time to socialize during cocktail hour. Michelle did a great job organizing family photos and corralling my large family. She then stayed late to capture our bubble send off. We just got a preview of the photos and they are amazing! We would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone.

    Perfectly captured our day

    Michelle, of Michelle Martin Photography, captured our wedding day perfectly. I’ve known Michelle since our school days and have always admired and enjoyed her work. When it came time to hire for our wedding day, I was thrilled that she was available and able to be part of the day.

    Michelle spent time prior to the actual day learning more about us as a couple and getting our vision for what we hoped our day would be. Using this info, she was able to suggest locations, styles, and poses that worked for us.

    Her recommendations and guidance really made the difference. We were able to do an engagement session ahead and it was great - we got to practice being in front of the camera and she got to see us together. I think this really helped us ensure a great plan for our special day!!

    We had to change our wedding date due to covid, and michelle was so flexible as we
    Navigated the changes.

    I highly recommend Michelle for your photo needs, she is extremely talented and captured our day perfectly.

    Michelle is an incredible photographer. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. We had several non-traditional photos that we wanted and she was more than willing to accommodate those along with the more traditional ones. She didn't hesitate to climb up on a ladder to take a group shot of everyone after the ceremony.

    Michelle was an absolute delight to work with! She not only captured amazing photographs, but she made us feel totally comfortable the entire day. Neither my husband no I had ever done professional photos before, yet Michelle was able to help guide us through the process (with wedding party in tow!) and set up outstanding group photos and portraits. Her ability to roll through the day, never missing a beat and catching every little moment was outstanding. We cannot thank Michelle enough for our beautiful wedding photography!

    Michelle was awesome! Easy to be around. She was thorough before, during, and after. Several guests commented on how comfortable she was to be around. We loved the video she made us and the pictures were fabulous. She took the time to find unique photo opportunities and capture the artistic elements, as well as the people and moments we desired. We get to relive our wedding day when looking at her photos! We couldn't have been happier and highly recommend Michelle Martin Photography to all!

    If you want amazing wedding photos and someone who is going to capture every moment of your day Michelle is your go to! We had some different location we were thinking of having our photos done for our wedding day and Michelle was all for it! She had never shot in the places we were asking but she never hesitated with our request and the results were amazing! She is so accommodating and we have beautiful pictures to last a lifetime!

    We LOVED working with Michelle every step of the way for our wedding! Right from the start, Michelle was available and informative, walked us through engagement shoot, planning for the big day, helping to set up a realistic timeline and followed through with carrying out capturing our dream pictures. Not only is she extremely professional, Michelle is also friendly, kind and fit in perfectly with our friends, families and bridal party on our big day! Highly recommend working with Michelle Martin for any and all your picture needs, she is fantastic and you will not be disappointed!

    You can't ask for better than Michelle. We had our wedding Sarurday so haven't seen the full portfolio of pics yet but she let us have some sneak peeks during the photo session and they were great. Our experience was so wonderful we didn't even want to wait to give our rave reviews. She knows what to do, what to ask for, and where to be without you having to worry one bit (which is such a blessing). She's so great to work with- and a mind reader at when people in the party might need a break to regroup. Plus for us she even brought an assistant who was equally as wonderful. Totally perfect experience!

    I'm not even sure where to start with this review; Michelle is amazing. Not only is her work absolutely breathtaking, but she takes the time to get to know what is important to you as a couple right from the start so she can focus on getting the shots that are most important to you first and foremost.

    She has the professionalism that is necessary when answering nervous brides' questions (raises hand) in a timely manner. And, I confess, I asked her a lot of questions!

    She thinks on her feet, making problem-solving seem like it's second-nature to her, and her attention to detail before, during, and after your event is at a level we should all strive to achieve.

    Michelle is calm and positive, which is especially needed when it's raining and there are 30Mph wind gusts 20 minutes before your outdoor wedding ceremony.

    A caring, helping soul by nature, it was Michelle who got the last few buttons of my gown buttoned when my mother was struggling with them and Michelle who found where my mother-in-law's coursage had gone when it was MIA in the last few minutes leading up to the ceremony. And my husband and I will be forever grateful that it was Michelle who captured our rainy, windy, wet, stormy, absolutely perfect day on film to keep forever.

    You MUST have Michelle Martin as your wedding photographer; she is amazing! Michelle is considerate, professional, and energetic, yet has a way of calming you down when you’re nervous. Part of her wedding package included an engagement photo shoot. I’m from out of town so didn’t have any ideas – she sent us several wonderful suggestions and even went to those locations to take picture of the flowers that were in bloom at the time of our shoot so we could make an informed decision. This is SUCH a good idea! It gave us a chance to get to know her style and what to expect for our wedding day. The photographs were incredible. Seeing her amazing work gave us full confidence that Michelle would capture everything we wanted on our wedding day. The peace of mind knowing that the most important day of your life will end with exactly the photos you wanted (and even some you didn’t even know you wanted) was worth every penny. We had several planning phone calls and many emails between the engagement shoot and our wedding, but all the planning really paid off. Michelle knew our vision and helped us decide that we would be better off having her and an additional photographer (since we knew we wanted so many family portraits). This was the best investment we made! Seriously, don’t even think twice. If you can cut the time of family and friend formal photos in half and have more time to spend with your guests, it’s really priceless. On our wedding day, Michelle, her second photographer, and assistant were on time and went above and beyond to make things happen that weren’t even their job to do (for example, putting on my veil when my mom couldn’t be found). Michelle worked so hard and were always in the right place at the right time. The photos are stunning! We look forward to working with Michelle to order prints and put together several albums for our families. If I could give Michelle Martin more than 5 stars I would. She is the best!

    Michelle Martin Photography's reply:

    Rachel, you and Steve were an absolute joy to work with, and I thank you so much for allowing me to capture your wedding memories! I can't thank you enough for your kind words!

    I wouldn't trust anyone else with my photography needs! She has a beautiful style and quick turnaround time. The website to proof your shots is easy to use and she is right there to help if you get stuck. We've used Michelle for our wedding photos and maternity photos. She's absolutely amazing!

    Michelle is an absolutely amazing photographer to work with. Not only is she just a great overall person to be with (which is important on your wedding day) she also has a stellar eye for capturing the special moments you will want to remember forever. We look forward to all future opportunities to have Michelle capture our memories again as our experience could not have been better!

    Michelle Martin Photography's reply:

    I just adore the two of you and can't thank you enough for your kindness! I can't wait to capture future memories for you!
