My girlfriend (now fiancée) and I had planned a trip to Salem to experience the Halloween scene for the first time. It was a trip she had put together and was really excited about. What she didn’t know was that I had been planning to propose during this trip.
Not knowing who to reach out to, I did some research ahead of time and came across Louise Michaud Photographer. From the very first video call with Mike, I felt completely reassured that I had chosen the right people to capture such an important moment in our lives. He was incredibly thorough and explained exactly how everything would unfold, which helped ease my nerves.

I'm so thankful that I found Louise Michaud- she helped capture my husband and I's handfasting and wedding ceremony perfectly! The whole experience from start to finish was very personal, and she was supportive of helping capture the mood and ambiance we were looking for in our photos. Both she and Mike are warm, friendly, knowledgeable of the best locations, and very easy to get along with; it is also clear that Louise has an excellent artistic eye and her attention to detail comes through clearly in her work. I cannot recommend her enough!
Louise is a warm and welcoming person and she did a fabulous job on my photos! I had a few needs and she was able to knit them all together into a great package. She went out of her way to make sure the backdrops and set were just right for what I needed, going so far as to use her own home! And she has a great eye. So while she’s putting you at ease, she’s capturing great photos and then quickly identifying which ones tell the story best. She does really nice work with interesting framing for commercial use, along with lovely photos for social use, and professional headshots. I highly recommend Louise for your photography needs, be they social, professional, or commercial....read full review
