Great photographer, wonderful to work with

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle for my Oct 2022 wedding at Trillium Trails. She is very warm and easy to get along with, and made my husband and I feel at ease. Her photos emphasize light and beauty and she understood what I wanted very well. She was able to make it out to the rehearsal as well to pre-scout some of the photo opportunities. My sneak peek pics came out within a weekend as well, which was great. Finally, I found her to be responsive, organized and unobtrusive while taking pics - would recommend her for any wedding!

Amazing team

I could not be more impressed with the wonderful service Michelle and her partner Angie provided. She is professional, attentive and an effective communicator. All my guests could not believe how long Michelle was on scene to capture our day. The photos came back so fast, I was thrilled to share them with my friends and family. I would highly recommend Michelle for your photography needs.

Really excellent!

We had our engagement photos and our wedding photos done with Michelle, and while we haven’t received our wedding photos (we got married 4 days ago), the engagement ones were absolutely incredible.
She was amazing to work with, very organized and very dedicated to her art. She stayed far later than was required in her contract at the wedding which was so sweet! She put my husband and I completely at ease in front of the camera and gave us great instruction. Her assistant Angie was also an absolute joy to be around and they make an incredible team.
Could not be happier with Michelle!

Magical Day with a Stellar Professional

Michelle was such a blessing to work with. She was attentive to all of our needs and concerns in preparation for and during our special day. My then-fiance and I fell in love with her work immediately when we browsed her website. She does a wonderful job capturing emotion and different moments- she made it look like such a dream. I would highly recommend Michelle- her pleasant, laid-back demeanor makes her extremely easy to work with. Thanks again, Michelle, for your tremendous work! :)

Fantastic experience - professional and responsive

Michelle was great to work with. She spoke with us several times leading up to the event, and made herself available to meet with us according to our schedule leading up to the wedding (we were planning from out of town). She listened to what we were looking for, and went to our venue prior to our event to check out the space and the lighting. She showed up early on the wedding day, found all of the best spots at the location for good pictures, and made sure we ran on schedule. She stayed at the venue late, and was very responsive to our requests. She took a ton of pictures and is giving us access to all of them.

We highly recommend Michelle for great wedding pictures, without any stress!

The perfect photographer for any occasion

My husband and I got married three weeks ago in beautiful La Jolla, San Diego. Michelle was one of the photography vendors on the list of suggested vendors that was provided by the venue. We checked out her website and fell in love with her photography style. She was very responsive throughout the entire planning process and was also extremely flexible in scheduling calls (she was so accommodating to my and my husband's work schedules and also the cross-country time difference). She seemed knowledgeable about the weather, lighting, etc. of the La Jolla area, considering she had just moved from New York! Seeing this, we were able to trust her preference of locations, angles, time of day, etc. We also planned an impromptu rehearsal the night before our wedding with our wedding party. Michelle offered to stop by to "scope out the area" and ended up spending almost an hour with us, walking us through ceremony logistics and explaining to our families where they should stand, walk, wait, etc. Most importantly, Michelle's photography is beautiful and she is very friendly, professional, and brings out the best in all of what she's photographing. Although we've only gotten the sneak peak photos, we are so excited to see the rest! We would highly recommend Michelle to be your wedding photographer!

Michelle is a true artist.

Michelle is a true artist. The photos we have from the wedding capture the whole day with more beauty than we could have imagined. She took a lot of time to get to know my future husband and I, leaving us very comfortable on our wedding day. She put significant effort into understanding the natural light at all of our venues, leading to the most beautiful and natural looking photos. We got both beautiful candid photos, as well as nicely shot photos that pleased our older relatives. Michelle is an absolute professional and fantastic to work with. Finally, we received our photos promptly, and on time. We are overjoyed with how our wedding photos came out, and know that anyone who works with MIchelle will love their photos.

A photographer should be your single biggest investment for your special day..

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Michelle for both our engagement session and our wedding. Both sets of photos turned out amazing!! She managed to not only capture the scene beautifully, but also to make us feel comfortable, despite us being camera shy. She really worked with us and went out of the way to scout locations for the best lighting to capture beautiful, organic moments. I cannot recommend Michelle enough for your photography needs, she is truly amazing and fun to work with!

Owner

I am thrilled to be back in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario where I grew up. I have a fine art background, taught creative photography in New York for many years, and have photographed romantic weddings for over 12 years in New York and California.

What Matters To Me:

Life is lovely and mysterious and capturing its beauty feeds my soul.

You and your creative vision for your wedding day are important to me. I want to hear all about the mood and magic you want conveyed. I will familiarize myself with the lighting and atmoshphere of your venue in order to work seamlessly and creatively alongside you throughout your day.

Light inspires me as it ethereally changes and brings whatever it touches to life. I will find and use the best light to tell your unique wedding day story - both artistically and authentically.
