Great communicator and organized

Michelle did an amazing job as our photographer! She was great at communicating before the wedding. She was there early, made sure we were on schedule, and of course took amazing photos! She also helped us navigate well through a rainy day and making contingency plans. She also got us the photos within 2 weeks of the wedding! Highly recommend! Including a few of me for example.

Very Professional

I booked Michelle's services for an engagement shoot to get to know her and her style and ultimately booked her services for my wedding as well.
Michelle is very communicative and gave feedback on some of my ideas when appropriate. She has a lot of experience that she was able to use and help my husband and I know what to expect and flexible enough to work with changes we wanted to make.
Michelle is very thorough in explaining expectations and anything that would benefit us as the couple. She is very clear on her timeline of when you can expect your pictures back.

Amazing experience!!

Having a wedding in 2020 has been an experience. I’m sure a lot of couples have gone through some obstacles while trying to celebrate their union in the middle of this pandemic. But hiring the right people can make a difference. Hiring Michelle as our photographer was one of the best decisions we could have ever made. After having to postponed the wedding once and ending up having it at the house, Michelle not only went through the whole process with us, but she was patient, flexible, and responsive. She provided suggestions, and was very organized with a timeline of all events throughout the day. She kept us on track and did an amazing job with the pictures and album. She also took our engagement pictures and they turned out great. She loved our dog and treated him like her own. She made us feel very comfortable and we really had a great time. Please keep her in mind when hiring your photographer. You want someone who is professional and can trust during the process.

Hands down! Best photographer ever!

I wish there were 100 stars or more to rate Michelle, although that still would not be enough. My husband and I thought Michelle was awesome before we even met her at the wedding, but when we met her all the things we thought about her were much greater than what we could have ever imagined. If you are looking for wedding photos with a little twist, Michelle is your photographer. She is so fun and very candid about what will work and what won't. She will put you FIRST, every single time. She wants to capture the true essence of who you and your husband are...we loved that! When we got our photos, we were floored. We could not believe that what she took is what we actually received. I could go on and on and on, there are not enough words. Michelle is awesome! We wish that we could do it all over again and have her take our pictures just to see what other brilliant ideas she would come up with. If you are looking for a photographer, hire her TODAY! She not only genuinely cares, but she will also give you some amazing photos that you can cherish forever!! Thank you Michelle!!

Phenomenal Service

I'll start by saying that Michelle Gunton is by far one of the best in the business and that is no exaggeration. Not only does her work speak for her talents but she is all about business and she knows what she's doing. When my wife and I booked her to do our wedding we had no doubts that we were making the right choice after our first call with her. Through the entire process of planning she made sure that we were all on the same page and walked through everything that we needed to know in-order to be sure that were getting exactly what were paying for. Despite Michelle being a seasoned vet in the photography world with many accolades that showcase her talents she is also very flexible and willing to work with you on the vision you have for your event needs. My wife and I have just recently received the photos from our wedding just recently and to say they are are phenomenal would be an understatement. Truly the product of her work is utterly-incomprehensible and we could not have picked a better photographer all around. Having someone who not only knows their craft but also provides a high level of customer service, courteous and personable through it all, offers more than reasonable prices based on her level of service and goes above and beyond to ensure satisfaction is everything you could ask for in a business. Thank you Michelle for all that you do and have done for us and we cannot wait to use you again for our next endeavor!
