about michelle
who am i?
A Virginia-based wedding photographer, but traveling worldwide to document love stories. I am down to earth but have an appreciation for the finer things in life. I believe in authentic, enthusiastic relationships and acknowledge the power that a healthy working relationship brings to a wedding day. I am formally educated as a Master of Social work, and I bring those skills to each and every wedding day, I cry during every mother-son dance thinking about my own sons, and I never forget to pause on a wedding day, even for just a brief moment to take it all in and remind myself how fortunate I am to be sharing these raw moments of beauty and love with couples around the world. My work as a wedding photographer is truly the best.
Hopeless romantic (and total Enneagram 7), lover of laughter, travel, and the love stories I tell through the lens of my camera.
my favorite things:
01
places i've been
Turks & Caicos. Denver, Colorado. NYC. And I love the Outer Banks of North Carolina where our family has spent a week every summer since I was 8.
02
guilty pleasures
Buying too many straw hats. Binge watching Below Deck. A Starbucks pink drink. And planning our next trip (or two!)
03
pastTime
Traveling literally anywhere. If palm trees are involved--even better.
04

Anything Mexican + a margarita. (Cocktail hour? Anything frozen, please.)
