    The best photographer!

    Michelle is incredibly kind, professional, and talented. Working with her was an absolute dream! We are not from the area and she helped pick a great location for our engagement photos. I am not a big fan of taking photos, but Michelle made it so fun and wonderful. The pictures came out perfect.

    Michelle and Sarah shot our wedding and again it was so much fun. I received the sneak peak in a week and I was stunned. They were so beautiful and captured the magic of the day. These talented women were so easy to work with and have such a great attention to detail. After the wedding, the number one comment (after how beautiful I looked) was about how great the photographers were! Guests were amazed at their ability to capture the day, but not block their view. They were accommodating and happily took pictures when asked.

    I cannot recommend Michelle Roller enough. Booking her was worth every penny and one of the best choices I made for my wedding. She is truly an amazing artist and wonderful human!

    Michelle is awesome!!!

    Michelle does absolutely wonderful work and made our whole experience so relaxing and fun! I knew photography was not an area I wanted to cut corners on and we could not be happier with our photos and our overall experience with Michelle and her team. Would absolutely recommend 100 percent! Thank you Michelle for being such an integral part of our special day!

    Fantastic photos for a somewhat camera-shy couple!

    From the moment we saw Michelle's work, we knew we had to book her for our wedding.

    We got married at the Madonna Inn, where she is a regular, so we knew she would know all the best spots and angles to capture the wonderful zaniness of the venue. But we got way more value than that!

    Michelle did our engagement shoot and our wedding, and the engagement shoot was a great way to get to know her and for us to start getting comfortable in front of the camera. She gave amazing direction for posed and semi-posed photos, and also encouraged us to be our authentic selves.

    We just got our full wedding album back and the photos are STUNNING. She captured every emotion of the day—from the anticipation, the excitement, the smiles and tears, and the absolute rager we had of a reception. But she always made sure we looked phenomenal in every photo. We immediately downloaded the entire album, and now we have the difficult journey of deciding which ones to print when we have so many amazing options!

    Beautiful, amazing, spectacular!!!

    Michelle is amazing simply put. Her style, kindness, and attention to detail is unlike anything I've experienced in a working relationship! On the day of our wedding, she exuded happiness and calm. She made our special day even more special by just being a presence of light and love!! We love Michelle. :)

    Michelle is AMAZING!

    Hiring Michelle as our wedding photographer was one of the THE best and most crucial decisions we made, and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

    When we were looking for a photographer, we knew that we wanted our photos to look natural, organic, in-the-moment, vibrant, full of emotion...memories caught in snapshots. We knew that we didn't want our photos to look too posed or cold. Let us tell ya...we cannot stop looking at both our engagement photos (the shoot was included in our package) and our photos from the big day. Our wedding photos especially look like a dreamy recap of our wedding. The smiles, the laughs, the tears, the love in our eyes...all these were captured so beautifully. We shared our vision with Michelle about what was most important to us and she absolutely delivered. One of the most common compliments we get of our wedding photos from friends and family is the COLOR. Michelle does a spectacular job with the coloring of the photos. We got married on a gorgeous Spring day in April of this year (2023) and there is just so much life in the photos! It was the opposite of posed and cold. Her eye for details, choosing areas and spots to take our couple's portraits, the way she incorporated the light on our sunny day...we can't sing her praises enough!

    These are photos that we will happily look back on for the rest of our life together. Thank you Michelle for being there for us and for preserving our favorite day ever with these magical images. We will treasure them forever!

    Michelle is the MOST talented photographer out there!!

    We worked with Michelle for our engagement photos and the photos for our big day. She is SO talented. She can shift from editorial to nature/landscape photos with ease and we loved her style. Not only is she talented, but she is warm, kind, and just so lovely to be around on such an important day. We loved spending time with her as we were getting ready for the wedding and had a blast during the photo shoot. When the wedding ended we were so sad to say goodbye because she is just the best. All I can say is, look no further - she is the dream and you will treasure your photos forever.

    Michelle is amazing

    Michelle is hands down the most incredible photographer and you will not regret working with her for your wedding (or any other even you have going on). She captured every aspect of our wedding day so beautifully and words can't express how lucky we feel to have the photos from her to remember the day. She managed to capture every little moment perfectly without us even realizing she was there somehow.

    On top of that, she is a joy to work with and I felt she was genuinely happy and excited for us on our wedding day. She even coordinated the color she wore to match the theme/vibe of the wedding. I highly recommend Michelle!!

    Artistic, SO talented & also a gem of a human

    If you're like me and feel a bit un-photogenic or unnatural posing for photos, the pressure of taking engagement and wedding photos that you love (and hopefully will love for all the years to come...) can cause a ton of anxiety... until you receive your engagement photos back from Michelle and realize you are in the absolute BEST hands. I still remember the shock and amazement at how beautiful my now husband and I thought our photos looked when we got them back, especially when our memory of the day was just a big session of running around our favorite places in SLO while Michelle asked us fun questions about ourselves while we drank champagne in a random field and ate pizza at Woodstock's... 
    Whenever I describe Michelle's work to my family and friends, I always say she creates images that yes, are engagement and wedding photos, but also have a beautiful artistic, almost editorial feel, and as the subject of the photos, I rarely felt posed, making the final product an honest depiction of the emotions felt, but also magazine professional quality that truly amazes me. And if that isn't enough, being around Michelle for such special moments between you and your love, is comfortable, easy and so fun. I am just an enormous Michelle fan, and am so glad she was my wedding photographer.

    You will not regret hiring Michelle!

    From the moment we first spoke via email, I had the best feeling about her. Not only was I obsessed with her personal and photography style, I felt like she just understood what I was looking for right off the bat. I wanted something unique - I didn't want my wedding photos to look like they could have been anyone's wedding. I wanted them to be special and different, stylish and cool, and I wanted them to feel like "us." When I searched through her portfolio (and stalked her on Instagram), I could just tell she was gonna nail it. And after meeting in person, we both felt so at ease and 100% confident that she was the perfect choice for us.

    Like many couples in 2020, our larger wedding plans changed, and we had to pivot from a 100 person wedding at a gorgeous venue on the central coast, to an intimate backyard ceremony at my in-law's home in San Clemente. Michelle was so flexible with us, made us feel totally supported in our decision, and was willing to make the trip to SoCal (and safely wore her mask the entire time).

    Leading up to our big day, we exchanged a bunch of ideas and sent each other pictures for inspiration, including tons of photos of the new "venue" and by the time Michelle got there, she knew exactly what to do. She has such a brilliant eye, and has a way of directing her shots that makes you feel comfortable and confident. I personally can be a little camera shy, but Michelle put us both 100% at ease so we could be our natural selves. She beautifully captured every detail of us in our element, and the photos are STUNNING. I literally cried when I saw them! I have never felt more beautiful, and my husband has never looked so handsome. They're everything I imagined and SO much more.

    We adore Michelle and quite frankly, want her to photograph all the big milestones for the rest of our lives. She's simply the best, the coolest, and the most stylish photographer of our dreams. We can't wait to work with her again!

    Michelle Roller's reply:

    CHELSEA. You make me so happy! Thank you so so so so infinitely much for your kind words! I can't even read this without wanting to cry! You and Spencer are the best!!

    Our experience was exactly how we imagined it! So fun to work with Michelle!

    I’ve worked with Michelle a number of times! For fun photoshoots, engagement photos, and wedding photos! And every time I have been amazed with the outcome! My wedding was very small and she did a great job at capturing every detail of what we wanted while making people feel comfortable and smiling! Would definitely recommend her for any event photographer!

    Thank you Michelle!

    Michelle is amazing for so many reasons! From the moment we started working together, she made the entire experience a breeze. We felt a little awkward about the thought of getting professional 'coupley' photos taken of us, but Michelle made us feel so at ease, and we ended up having a lot of fun! Our photos are stunning! She is such a fun person to be around, which makes the process so much better! Also, when we decided to cancel our large wedding due to covid and completely change the destination to 4 hours north with a small group on a completely different day, Michelle immediately made it work. She was flexible, understanding, and compassionate regarding our situation, and I can't thank her enough for that! Our photos turned out incredible, and perfectly captured our intimate ceremony and celebration. She went beyond just the standard photos you would expect, and captured our personalities and the ambiance so wonderfully. I am so happy and thankful we ended up going with Michelle for our wedding and engagement photos, and would recommend her a million times to anyone!

    Photos to make your recently wed friends jealous!

    We couldn't be more thrilled to have found Michelle. As a bride who works somewhat within the wedding industry already, I was concerned about finding someone that I could trust completely - and with a creative spin that didn't look like every other wedding album. Her artistry as a photographer and color expert blows away the wedding market oversaturated with cheesy poses and standard color filters. Her emotional intelligence gives her the ability to pull the most authentic and vulnerable poses from even the most camera shy. On top of all of the things you might hire a great photographer for, she is also incredibly kind and supportive on your craziest day. Speaking from personal work experience - that's not always the case. Our friend and family still talk about how epic our wedding photos are. The wedding industry should feel spoiled for having an artist like Michelle in it.

    Book her now!

    Booking Michelle was the best decision I made for my wedding day! She was an absolute dream to work with from our initial correspondence, to our engagement shoot to the actual wedding day and beyond. She made me, my husband and our friends and family feel so at ease and special on the day of our wedding. It was such a feel-good experience! And don't even get me started on our photos! No one has ever made me look so beautiful and my friends and family have been RAVING about our wedding pics since we received them. Michelle is THE BEST!

    Without question, I would pick Michelle and her team to photograph my wedding!

    Michelle was a dream and I'm so happy that we were able to work together to capture our engagement photos and wedding day. Michelle was organized, thoughtful and had a vision for every shot we took. Like many couples, this was our first time in front of the camera and Michelle made the experience fun and helped us feel less awkward :) We were able to relax, talk, laugh-- which helped get some amazing photos! Every time I look at our photos, I can't help but smile.
    Simply the best -- I'd do it all over again :)

    She is amazing!

    Michelle was the best. From her photography skills to personality, she was such a joy to work with. She is super professional and knows exactly what she is doing. She is such an artist and gave us a fun and memorable experience. She did my engagement shoot and my entire wedding, and we LOVE how everything turned out. I would highly recommend and will be using her again in the future.

    We hired Michelle for our wedding and it was the best decision we could have possibly made! She's very professional and easy to work with. Quick with correspondence. Incredibly talented. And she puts in effort to get to know you and what you're looking for.

    In our case we really wanted candid photos of the friends and family we love, and oh man did she deliver! There were so many photos that were just absolute stunning, in the moment shots that perfectly captured the personalities of the people in them.

    We loved working with Michelle. In addition to being a great photographer she's also a really lovely person and we would highly recommend hiring her for your special occasion.

    Best photographer ever!

    Hiring Michelle Roller as our photographer was the best decision!! I work in the wedding industry and have always admired her work, attention to detail, and how she is able to capture the most intimate moments. Every time I look back at our wedding photos I tear up because she captured everything so perfectly without missing any details.My husband and I are not photo people and we felt SO comfortable in front of the camera with Michelle's help. She is prompt, responsive, organized, adorable, and the list goes on.. You will be in great hands for your big day with Michelle on your team!

    Michelle photographed my engagement shoot as well as my wedding in 2013. She and her assistant Pete, did an AMAZING job, and captured SO many amazing moments! They tag-teamed the day, taking photos before, during and towards the end of the evening.

    She edits her photos in a way that makes the pics seem so bright, vivid and dream-like. I love how she can take a moment, and capture the way you felt in that moment!

    The ONLY downside, was that I wish we had more hours to take MORE pictures, but the day went by so fast, and so beautifully, I wouldn't change anything! Michelle was literally taking pictures the whole day and evening and caught so many gorgeous moments in my wedding.

    As a Wedding Planner, I also have had the pleasure to work with Michelle on stylized photo shoots and we collaborated our ideas to come up with some really beautiful scenes. She took the time to really plan it out with me so it would be just as we both envisioned!

    Michelle takes the most gorgeous photos! I was nervous because she is young and does not have a large portfolio put together - but it was the best decision of my wedding to hire her :). She uses colors to make the photos amazing and unique, she is also great at editing them. I was able to hire her and get all the photos I wanted for a fraction of the cost of a tenured photographer. Make no doubt about it - she will be the most sought after wedding photographer in the next few years!

    Awesome Wedding Photographer!

    Michelle did such a great job with our engagement and wedding photos. We loved how she captured us as a couple and really leaned into the thing we enjoyed and would do on the day to day since we didn't want the traditional lovey dovey wedding photos. She made sure to capture posed and candid moments throughout our wedding day along with tons of shots of our decor. She was recommended to me by a friend and I would recommend her to any of mine!
