You chose this intimate celebration for a reason. As your photographer, I’ll be a moving (but hidden) piece of the story, helping you step into these curated moments.
I will do my part to understand the nuances that make you, you — fully aware of the details and dynamics so the photographs reflect your wedding that much more honestly. Unobtrusive, yet in-the-know when it comes to the imagery that is true to you.
Wedding and Elopement Photography for madly in love humans with real stories
Authentic. Wild. Unapologetically you.
Celebrate your love, your way, and let me capture it just as it is- real, raw and uniquely yours.
Picture This...
You're standing together, surrounded by towering peaks, as you exchange vows in the crisp mountain air.
Later, you're toasting marshmallows by a campfire, twinkling lights above you, laughter and love all around.
Maybe you sneak away for a private adventure-hiking to a secluded waterfall, taking a helicopter to a glacier, or stealing a quiet moment just the two of you.
This is your wedding day. Not just a ceremony, but an experience-one that feels like YOU.

Olivia and George
Michelle photographed the elopement for my husband and I. We can’t thank her enough for how wonderfully she captured it. She photographed the small intimate moments that we will remember forever. She was kind, attentive, and really personalized the experience. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
Mariah and Sean
Michelle is AMAZING at what she does! With both our engagement session and our wedding she was so much fun and so easy to work with! Her warm, natural style was exactly what I was looking for for our fall wedding and she went above and beyond. She captured everything perfectly, all while making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a photographer that truly cares about you and capturing who you are as a couple!
Meghan and Sean
Michelle is one of those people you meet that you feel like you’ve known forever. We always feel awkward posing for photos, but when we met her for our engagement shoot it felt like we were old friends. Not only is she amazing at capturing your day, but she listens to your inspo, and executes it beautifully! Michelle truly made our wedding memories perfect for us and her overall warmth, friendship, talent and professionalism cant be beat.
