Oh man, where do I begin. I ADORE Michelle. She is sarcastic, witty, and god she's amazing. We hired her for our 7/21/24 wedding, and I hate being photographed. Michelle put me at such ease. She showed up on time, knocked out all family photos, and proceeded to take some of the best photos throughout the night. Within just a few days of our wedding we got a sneak peak email with a handful of photos, and that sneak peak just reaffirmed to me that I had chosen the best photographer. She's someone you want to stay friends with forever. Her photos are magic. I can't wait to see the rest! Also, we chose the two photographer package, and her colleague was so great!! He was just as warm and amazing as Michelle, and it meant we got all angles everywhere in terms of photos. So worth it!
Michelle Walker not only took amazing photos of our wedding, she was an absolute joy to work with for the entire journey from meeting her to scheduling and twice rescheduling our wedding (thanks go Covid). She brought incredible positive energy to our special day and to all of our communications leading up to it. I had one request to her -- I didn't want to pose or basically know that she was there. We wanted all candid shots. She blended in, captured amazing moments, and never made me feel self conscious (which would have been a big bummer on my wedding day) She also only delivered amazing flattering pictures of me (which is hard because I am NOT photogenic and hate being photographed). She's amazing.
We had the pleasure of working with Michelle for our wedding in May 2022. We were drawn to her more editorial, authentic style, and that shone through in our final wedding photos— which we loved. Her get to know you and booking process is super straight forward. Michelle is approachable, understanding, and kind— we never felt like we were pressured or rushed into making any decisions. We met up with her for an engagement shoot (and to get to know each other a bit more) and had a blast walking around the property she was living in at the time (a gorgeous barn/vineyard combo!). She made us feel relaxed, at ease, and not at all like we needed to pose, perform, or pay...read full review
