Karla Sent on 03/24/2025Highly 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! -

Lauren Sent on 03/17/2026The most amazing photos
Michelle is such an amazing photographer and so down to earth!! Michelle made the photo process so easy and flawless that I wasn't worried about how the photos would turn out. I gave her my Pinterest inspiration board, and she delivered it to a T, along with candid photos. I'm in awe as I look through her photos. She is an amazing photographer and so sweet and calming, making sure that I wasn't stressed. I highly recommend using Michelle; she does a lot to make sure you feel good on your day, and no matter the inspiration photos you give her, she'll deliver. -

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! -

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!!!!!!!! -

Sofiya Sent on 01/16/2026Truly 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

Mira Sent on 11/26/2025Incredible!
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. -

Kaitlee Sent on 10/21/2025Pure 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. -

Michelle recently photographed my husband and I for a bridal styled shoot. Today we received the album, and were amazed with her work! The lighting was so beautiful. My favorite part were the solos she caught of my husband- oh my goodness!! She was lovely to work with and had so many great ideas to pose us that looked natural. -

Great experience. Michelle was so communicative leading up to the shoot. I was even texting her before hand about the outfit and accessories I wanted to bring. I felt comfortable with her, I told her I was nervous to sweat and she told me about a product to fix it, I told her I didn’t know any poses and she guided me through everything. When there was a need, it was met. Very professional, communicative, flexible, and talented. Can’t recommend her enough! -

Katie Sent on 03/10/2025Amazing Photographer
Michelle is amazing and has a gift for what she does. I ended up doing a bundle with Michelle - boudoir, engagement , and wedding. Each session very different as each requires different things. I have never been one to be “sexy” in front of others let alone a camera. Michelle made it very easy to feel comfortable for my boudoir, it was fun, and the results were unbelievable. My toddler son was apart of our engagement photos which added an extra element, along with my fiance at the time of course but he is one who hates doing photo shoots- you would never see that in the photos! She made it so fun and flowed so easily even in the hot South Florida sun on the beach covered in sand and saltwater. She even traveled for wedding day and was very fair in travel fees. Wedding day photos she assisted with what shots I really wanted her to focus on with a list of suggestions to go over. I had not even thought of some of the moments she had suggested and they ended up being some of my favorite shots.
All around Michelle was easy to work with, has an amazing eye behind the camera, and will capture your heart along with all the moments. I still swoon over our photos and we got married in 2017! -

Michelle had such a beautiful vision and created magic for our engagement photos. She flew out to Oregon and explored entirely new areas, and I’m so in love with the story she was able to tell with our shots around town! Our wedding took place in Miami, with two locations for the ceremony and reception. We have many shots to look back on now to remember our special day for the rest of our lives. I would rehire her and recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and talented professional. -

Amazing all around!
Michelle was amazing to work with! She made us feel at ease and knew how to guide and pose us to get the perfect shot. This was our first time taking professional pictures and I am forever grateful to her since we were very nervous. She put us right at ease. Her work speaks for itself and I am recommending her to everyone I know!Photographer Michelle Sarkissian's reply:
I'm so happy to hear how pleased you are with my services. Thank you so much for this wonderful review! -

Alex Sent on 11/04/2024The absolute best youll ever find!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Michelle Sarkissian for our wedding, and I can't express how grateful we are for her incredible work! From the very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and truly understood our vision for our big day.
On the wedding day, she was a calming presence amid all the excitement. Her creativity and attention to detail were evident as she captured beautiful moments we will cherish forever. Each shot was thoughtfully composed, and her ability to capture candid emotions was remarkable.
Not only did she blend seamlessly into our day, but she also brought a sense of joy and enthusiasm that made the experience even more memorable. The final photos are stunning – vibrant, full of life, and tell the story of our day beautifully.
I highly recommend Michelle to any couple looking for a skilled and passionate photographer. She made our wedding unforgettable and gave us a treasure trove of memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you, Michelle for your outstanding work! You were meant to do this!!
Love you,
Alex & Tom -

Lyndsey Sent on 10/01/2018Where do I even begin? Michelle photographed my engagement photos and my wedding. She is constantly in contact up until the big day and really gets to know you as a couple. Her style of photography is like no other and her eye and artistry are impeccable. She sees things that nobody else sees. She runs the show like a one woman wonder. There aren’t even words to describe how amazing my wedding day went with her by my side. She is constantly making sure the bride and groom are happy and is almost like having another wedding coordinator and maid of honor. She does it all, people! It’s really rewarding to watch her at work. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous and so is her heart. She has the personality that you need around you on your wedding day and makes you feel so calm and beautiful. So not only are you getting unbelievable photos, you’re getting an amazing human being to have around you on your day. I would do it all over again with her by my side a million more times! I really don’t think we could’ve gotten through our day without her there- for the sake of our sanity and for the sake of getting breathtaking photos. You will not be disappointed with Michelle as your photographer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Michelle. Logan and I truly love and adore you. We are in awe of your craft and your demeanor as you work. Unforgettable! -
Carol Sent on 03/20/2018Michelle’s expertise as a photographer created a relaxed mood for my husband and I to be ourselves. She captured us on how we feel about each other without any pressure. We had lots of fun during the photo session and will be a memory of a fun experience captured on film. Once we saw the proofs, we realized how talented she is and are so thrilled with the results, we could not wait to share with our family and friends. I recommend her to anyone looking for a high level of photography with a very personal touch.

Megan Sent on 03/14/2018“Oh. My. God.” were the words that came out of my mouth when I first saw Michelle’s brilliant work from our wedding. I believe that the words are similar for everyone who sees the pictures followed by “who was your photographer?” Michelle was a dream to work with, an absolute dream. We initially hired her to take our engagement photos and were blown away by her work. She made myself and my husband so comfortable during the shoot which is SO important. I then hired her for a boudoir shoot and that was when I really fell in love with her and her work. I am an awkward and shy person and she brought out the best in me that day. She honestly made me feel comfortable in my own skin and beautiful (my husband about died when he saw those pictures on the wedding day).
We chose to get married in the Bahamas and Michelle’s work was so perfect that we flew her out there with us for the big day. I feel as though she wasn’t just my photographer, but also a friend and an instrumental person during my planning process. She helped me along each step of the way. She is punctual, responsive, and beyond helpful. She takes the time to get to know the couple that she is working with so that she can bring out the best in them and make the pictures as natural as possible.
I had incredibly high expectations of Michelle, knowing her work, her work ethic, and her amazing creativity and vision. I can say, without hesitation or trepidation, that she blew my expectations right out of the water. I am so in love with ALL of our pictures and will truly cherish them forever. I love passing her name on to all of my friends and their friends so that I can continue to watch her magnificent work grow along the way to what I believe will someday be stardom. -

Somara Sent on 03/14/2018I was fortunate to meet Michelle at my friend's baby shower which Michelle was photographing for The Knot website. The pictures she took were fantastic, bright, and expressed an authenticity that is hard to find in professional photos. Although Michelle lives in Orlando and photographs weddings, I decided to reach out to her and ask her to take professional photos for my business. Not only did she say yes, but she kept in touch with me and agreed to come down to Miami to do the shoot. I am not a professional model by any means and was sooooo nervous to take the photos. Michelle did a great job of coaching me through the shoot and making me feel calm and confident during the entire process. Now, after receiving the photos and only being able to pick twenty, my biggest problem with Michelle was that there were too many great photos to choose from. I almost cried when I saw how good I looked in the photos. Michelle has this amazing gift of being able to reflect the best version of you in a picture. I am so glad I was able to book her and she will be the only photographer that I will use for all my momentous events going forward, including my upcoming wedding. :-)

Bruce Sent on 03/04/2018Michelle is extremely talented.. I am often reserved and she helped me feel more comfortable during our sessions with her. We had our engagement photos, wedding photos, and even our most recent family photos. She is patient and pays attention to details. I attribute this to her ability to blend into the background and freeze natural moments as they are happening. She gives direction, but makes everything feel natural. She is wonderful with children as well and this shines through her photos beautifully. They light up when they are around her!
She is extremely professional and thorough! From the moment you book your wedding, or engagement photos, she helps provide direction on how to best capture your day while letting you enjoy it stress free. -

Stephenie Sent on 03/04/2018Even with the stress associated with weddings, I have to say that leading up to ours, the one thing I didn’t worry about was our photographer. Michelle was such a wonderful person to work with. She made suggestions that helped with the scheduling of our wedding day events so that we could get all the pictures we wanted. Our first experience with her, the Engagement Portrait Session, was so positive and we loved how the photos embraced our personalities. She also took time to ask us about our story as a couple, and then made sure to intertwine some of that into our session in such a tasteful, sophisticated way.
Michelle definitely exceeded our expectations. Our wedding photos sincerely captured all the love that we felt that day with our friends and family. Even the guests that couldn’t make it have since told us how much fun they have looking at our photos.
Our wedding day was the beginning of our family, and we know that one day when we decide to add any little members to the bunch, Michelle will be the first person we call to capture all our milestones. -

Shooting with Michelle was a wonderful experience!
She was extremely helpful and professional from the beginning to the end of the process.It was apparent, through our emails leading up to the day, that she put a lot of time and thought into injecting my personality and ideas when coming up with the concept. She came prepared with extra styling options and composed the set and myself to bring our collaborative vision to life. Michelle made me feel comfortable and sexy all while keeping a creative eye for unique and flattering shots. Though I felt awkward at the beginning of the shoot, she guided me into poses that produced stellar photos!

Danielle Sent on 02/13/2018Michelle did an absolutely beautiful job photographing my small, destination elopement. She really captured the aesthetic of our experience and translated that into beautiful, timeless images. I can’t even begin for expresss how pleased I am with our photos. Michelle is a talented, warm, and enthusiastic professional with a singular, unique vision. If you’re interested in wedding photos that will look both timeless and unlike anyone else’s, I would highly recommend her.
