    I LOVED working with Michelle. Not only is she a great photographer, but she was just so unbelievably helpful on my wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Michelle was a saint and a true professional. She was very patient and a hilarious person to talk to. My wife and I loved the quality of the photos. Words cannot thank her dedication to her passion as a photographer. Thank you!

    Michelle is one of the sweetest souls I have ever met. When I was searching for photographers, I had picked out a few photographers to interview. Some photographers were charging an arm and a leg for the photography services I needed. I interviewed Michelle and knew instantly she was the one; plus, she is so AFFORDABLE too! She charges a fair price and you get service above and beyond. I loved my pictures. She knows how to direct couples to pose so that it looks natural. I am so in love with all of our pictures. I cannot thank her enough! If you are in the Metro Atlanta area, I HIGHLY recommend that you take a look at SMMS photography! Michelle specialized in outdoor photography- I was worried at first that I would be squinty or washed out in my pictures, but trust me, she know what she is doing!

    BEST decision of our entire wedding!!! I don't think I could say enough about how WONDERFUL Michelle is and what a joy she was to work with. I love that she offered an engagement session in her package. It was the perfect opportunity to get to know her and get comfortable behind the camera before all the nerves of the big day. After seeing our engagement pictures I had no doubt our wedding photos would be nothing short of amazing! We have over 1,200 wedding pictures and each one is different from the next. Michelle captured all of the moments that made our wedding memorable and I am forever grateful!!

    We absolutely LOVE Michelle! From the first time we met with her, we knew she brought the right attitude and vibe that would match our day. She is sweet and genuine, and is truly passionate for what she does because she helps people in love capture moments of joy! Not to mention, she has a wonderful eye!! We had an outdoor wedding - ceremony and reception - and wanted someone with outdoor lighting expertise. You can see from her photos that she has just that! We couldn't have been happier with the way our photos came out.

    Michelle was the most wonderful, professional and talented
    photographer we could have ever asked for!
    The first time we met, both of us knew that there was going to be a
    lot of fun to be had. Michelle did both the engagement and wedding
    photography. Both came out wonderful and they are pictures we are
    going to treasure forever!
    Michelle was willing to travel to the Smokey Mountains to meet with us
    for the engagement shoot. The weather didn't turn out how we have
    imagined, but Michelle was still able to capture moments that we
    thought really showed how happy we were.
    She gave us a sample of the shoot very quickly and the rest of the
    edited pictures well within the time frame she had promised.
    The wedding day was full of action and surprises, but Michelle was
    right there with us from very early to very late. She was awesome and
    super patient with all of our guests and family. At one point, we had
    a wall of guests taking pictures with their cell phones and Michelle
    couldn't even see us! We really appreciated the way Michelle handled
    the crowds and we came out with some great pictures with friends and
    family.
    Overall, she was amazing and we totally recommend Michelle for
    capturing those precious moments in a wedding.

    Michelle was perfect! Everything I could ask for. She knew what she was doing and had the most magical vision. My pictures look like they came out of a fairy tale wedding! I would recommend her to everyone willing to listen. She was even willing to work with me in getting all of the not so serious photos. She was a trooper and took many photos! Definitely worth the price!!

    Michelle was absolutely amazing! She arrived to our venue ready to go and made my day very stress free. She is so easy to work with and her images are breathtaking. I highly recommend her and can't wait to see the final images. Planning the wedding two states away was difficult, but Michelle was wonderful to work with and was always very reassuring that things would be perfect on the wedding day. She acted as much more than a photographer on the wedding day and kept everything flowing smoothly and on schedule. I can't thank her enough for all she did!

    I can't even explain how much we loved working with Michelle! She took our engagement and wedding pics and we are beyond pleased with both. She was so easy to work with and always made sure we got what we wanted out of the shoots. The quality of her work is incredible and the value is something you can't beat. I spent many weeks looking for the perfect photographer that fit in our limited budget and I am SO thankful I found Michelle! My husband and I highly recommend her to anyone!

    The photos of my daughter's wedding taken by Michelle Sturza of SMMS photography were absolutely breathtaking. We could not be more pleased with her service the day of the wedding and the resulting photos. Her price is also very reasonable when compared with other vendors in the area. Extremely pleased!!

    We truly had an all star cast of vendors for our wedding and the memories captured by Michelle and her husband (second shooter!) were way above expectations. From the moment we met her for our initial consultation, we felt very reassured by the quality of her work AND her personality. During our engagement session and during the wedding her warmth, calmness, and professionalism made the process so smooth. We have had so many compliments by our friends and family who have seen the photos as well. I can without a doubt recommend SmmS and would hire her again if I had to redo it all over!

    Michelle with SmmS Photography is such an amazing find for your Wedding Photography! Being a professional photographer, I was looking for someone who could produce technically proficient photographs, while still maintaining a creative, unique spin on them. Michelle completely exceeded my expectations. She is quick to respond, very professional, and she produces BEAUTIFUL photographs. Above all, she fit into our budget! Michelle is very talented, and her photographs are technically and creatively jaw dropping!

    I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Michelle! The pictures from our wedding are fantastic, and even though it was raining, she followed us around without complaint and was willing to get dirty for us! She also was very helpful during our wedding; she shadowed us, put up with the cold, and helped round all of our guests up for the final shots of the night! As a bonus her pricing is very reasonable for the quality of the photos. Her packages include an engagement shoot and she was willing to drive to Atlanta for the engagement shots and to Young Harris for the wedding at no cost to us!

    "True, Genuine, Natural, Beautiful, and Affordable"

    The way that Michelle Sturza captures the essence and beauty of special moments is so wonderfully and naturally done. She is not only a great photographer and person, but she has a natural gift for providing guidance and direction throughout your wedding/special event process. From helping with some of the décor to her ability to bring calm and focus during some of the most chaotic moments, she was a breath of fresh air. During our engagement session it was as if she was not even there, but was able to capture the little things, like a few butterflies floating our way while we had sat by the lake or our silly moments splashing water on each other during a hot summer day to cool off. Words almost can't describe how much we enjoyed just our engagement session!!! We knew she was the best choice for our wedding. The day of the wedding, she came prepared, bright and early and ready to work (or fulfill her passion and love for photography, as I would like to call it). Being the beacon of light she was, our day flowed smoothly, as we took a host of pictures, not only of us, the bridal party, and our guest, but the African dancers we had who performed during the reception, and the kindness of my mother-in-law and daughter bonding after a long day of wedding festivity. Michelle Sturza captured moments that I will have on my wall and cherish for ages. We can't say enough about Michelle and SMMS Photography, but a simple, "THANK YOU", for everything that she did to contribute to the elevation of happiness on our special day. I would encourage anyone reading this review to strongly consider and choose SMMS Photography for any special occasion you have, you will be in awe of the beauty, high quality, and intricate details of Michelle Sturza and SMMS Photography's work!!!

    Trying to find a few words about SmmS photography is difficult for me because there are so many wonderful things to be said! My experience with Michelle was far beyond any expectation I could have imagined!! There are so many things that can and will go wrong during the wedding planning AND on the wedding day. But never once did anything go wrong with our photographery! The photos that were taken of our very intimate wedding will always be proudly displayed in our home. There is honestly not one negative thing to be said for the wonderful service we received. We not only have beautiful photos to last a lifetime but we also have the "Sweet moments" and memories we experienced with her as well! Best photographer period. :)

    She is very easy to work with and has a kind personality. She was very involved in the photo shoot and did not just take pictures JUST to take them; she took them and made sure everything was perfect: our poses, the background, our hair, etc. We were blown away by our photography session and our photos. All the pictures were so clear and vibrant. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pictures!
