Magnolia more like Magnificent!

Where do we begin. Jenn and I could not have been have been more happy to have hired and worked with Michelle at Magnolia Studios. Her creativity, talent, eye for detail, calm demeanour, patience, energy and enthusiasm show no bounds. For those who aren't runway models, she has the ability to make you feel comfortable and relaxed no matter the scenario. It was a pleasure working with her from our first meeting to the engagement shoot to our wedding day. Many compliments from our wedding guests for the beautiful guestbook she created for us. We highly recommend her for all your photo needs! We can't wait to work with Magnolia Studios again. Thank you Michelle!

The best photographer!

Michelle was our photographer for our wedding on December 1, 2018. She was awesome! So friendly and easy to shoot with. She made us feel comfortable when we were feeling very awkward at our engagement shoot and gave us so many helpful tips to make our pictures look beautiful. She followed our request for how we wanted our photos to look and we are so in love with our engagement shoot and sneak peek wedding photos. We are so excited to see the rest of them. We highly recommend her!!

Perfect Wedding Photographer

Michelle was our wedding photographer for our wedding in late August 2018.
She also spent an afternoon with us to capture our engagement photos.

She is an amazing photographer. She easily adapts to whatever the circumstance to capture the perfect photos.
She was very professional and easy to work with.
We we're both a little nervous about non-stop being in front of the camera, but within 5 minutes she had us laughing and feeling very comfortable.

The signing book she made for the wedding was excellent. She highlighted the best photos and we now have a lovely memory booked filled with messages from our guests.

On the wedding day we had booked 13 hours with her, she again surpassed all expectations. She made us feel very comfortable, and kept taking photos non-stop.
Whenever a guest wanted a photo she would also appear to capture the photo professionally.

Midway through the ceremony we asked to extend her an additional hour, and she was completely willing! She also came up with great back-lighting photos.

We couldn't imagine having a different photographer for our wedding.
She really was the best!

We connected with Michelle after stumbling across her beautiful photographs online, and are so grateful that we did. She was all things good, from our very first meeting, onwards. She photographed 2 very large ceremonies for us (one traditional Pakistani, and one Canadian style), and also an engagement session and ALL of the photographs are phenomenal. Our families and friends are still commenting on the quality and creativity of her work, which certainly speaks for itself (visit her site). She expressed genuine interest in creating end results that considered all of our needs and preferences, and was somehow simultaneously super relaxed and extremely organized at the same time (which is exactly what you need, trust us).

She was on time, prepared, and captured absolutely everything we could have hoped for. All three sets of photos were delivered to us exactly when she said they would be, on her incredibly intuitive, beautiful website. This has made it easy for us to share with our friends and family. Also worth mentioning that she's a LOVELY person who we really enjoyed having around (our guests thought she was great, too). We couldn't be happier to have found her!

Selecting a photographer was one of the decisions we took most seriously while planning our wedding. After viewing Michelle’s work and meeting with her in person it quickly became evident we had found the right person to capture the important moments of our day. Michelle has both the “art” and “business” sides to her studio mastered.

As is turns out, our initial impression of Michelle was spot on. Her warm and relaxed demeanor and attention to details turned out to be the perfect combination and we are so happy with how our wedding photos turned out. We’ve looked over them so many times already and have had lots of laughs and a few happy tears remembering each part of our wedding day - Michelle captured the love, joy and excitement we felt perfectly. These are photos that we (and our family and friends!) will treasure forever.

The Value that Michelle at Magnolia Studios provides in unrivalled by any Toronto based photographer. I know all photographs drum up memories of the pictured event. However , it is hard to describe how Michelle's shots transport us back to our wedding night every time we look through them. We get to re-live our wedding moment by moment any time we chose.The posed shots are natural, fun and beautiful. The Candid shots are full of life, love and nuance. Visit her website and check out the spectacular job she does because a picture is worth a thousand words and your wedding is worth getting the best.

There are truly no words to describe how AMAZING Michelle is because her Images speak for themselves! Growing up in a home with a professional photographer, choosing my wedding photographer was a difficult task. From the moment I met with Michelle I had NO DOUBT she was going to do an amazing job. Her photography is a work of art and there was not one image I didn't like from our wedding! She was willing to brave the -40 degree weather to get the perfect shot and drove 2 hours outside of Toronto for our engagement shoot. She is calm, easy going, professional and SO nice, the perfect combination. She takes wedding photography to a new level and we are SO happy she was there to capture such an important day in our lives!

Not only is Michelle from Magnolia Studios an amazing photographer, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is extremely creative and always full of great shot suggestions.

During our engagement shoot, she really captured how much we love our favourite place (Toronto Islands) and made us feel very comfortable. We had never been photographed professionally before, and she ensured we came accross as natural.

For our wedding, she was simultaneously in charge and organized, as well as able to fade into the background. I am amazed of how many photos we received of our wedding considering I hardly noticed her or her second photograper Frances! She led the family shots and wedding party shots in an authorative way, ensuring everyone was in the right spot at the right time. Everyone commented how lovely she was to work with and have around on our special day. And our pictures are AMAZING! We can't wait to hang some on our walls, as they really do capture the day's sentiments perfectly.

Hiring Magnolia Studios was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding day. Thank you Michelle!!

We couldn't have been happier with Michelle and her team at Magnolia Studios! From the moment we met with Michelle she instantly got us and our vision. She was extremely professional and made us feel beyond comfortable (which allowed for a very fun day of picture-taking). Michelle and her assistant were aggressive enough to capture the important shots while managing not to disrupt anyone at the same time. They did such a wonderful job of including all our family and friends in our shots, as well as getting every single detail, whether it was the reactions on our faces while listening to speeches, or our rings, we trusted them with everything and they came through! Our photos came out so beautiful, we were even featured on WedLuxe!! Numerous people have asked me who shot our wedding, and my sister even hired Michelle after seeing our pictures and meeting her at our wedding. You MUST hire Magnolia Studios for your big day, you will not regret it!! Michelle and her team will surely make your vision come to life!

Michelle was absolutely fantastic! She shot our engagement and wedding photos. They both turned out beautifully! Our guests loved the engagement book she had made. Her approach was very warm, friendly and profressional. She encouraged us to let her know what kind of photos we don't find flattering of ourselves so she could avoid them. She captured all of our moments and then some. We couldn't have been happier with the service she provided! Thank you Michelle!!
