We all feel and experience love a little differently
For some, it’s a heart-racing thrill: wild, electric, and free.
For others, it’s a slow, quiet dance—tender, healing, and grounding.
Your story is more than enough.
It moves to its own steady beat; a deep knowing that feels like home.
And I’d be honoured to bottle up that love through imagery that feels soulfully true, with a touch of the unexpected woven through.
"Michelle did our wedding photos in Banff and she was absolutely amazing!! She is professional, a great communicator, and a pleasure to work with. I was nervous planning a micro-wedding in a location I’d never been to before, but Michelle delivered—guiding us on ceremony locations and photo spots.
The photos are breathtaking and exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommend!"

POETIC VISUAL ART
to bathe your memories in the colours of your love
Feel the sun on your skin, the earth beneath your feet. The scent of fresh rain in the air, glittering droplets on your cheeks.
The way your fingers find theirs without thinking. The sound of your laughter echoing into the stillness.
The warmth of their arms pulling you closer—that delicious knowing of being chosen, like soft butter on your lips. They are yours. You are theirs.
Your elopement deserves to be felt, not scripted. A choice, not a rule book.
A little messy, a little imperfect, and a whole lot of presence—just as you are. Their hand in yours, and nowhere else you’d rather be.
Layers woven with depth, soulful tenderness, and quiet artistry, your story will unfold just as it is—beautifully organic, wildly true. Moments suspended in time, immersed in shadow and sun.
So you can return to how it all felt—again and again.

HEY FRIENDS, I’M MICHELLE
Your Memory Whisperer + Photographer
/ Based in Edmonton, Alberta
Somewhere between snack-fuelled toddler negotiations, wishing I had an Al Pastor taco as a third limb, and tripping over my own two feet, I’ve been photographing lovers for almost two decades.
Photography is both my love language and my art—a way of holding what matters. Being invited into your story and witnessing human connection in its purest form is a privilege I’ll never take for granted.
With gentle posing, artistic direction, and a whole lot of creative intuition, there’s nothing I’d love more than to experience and capture the magnetic connection that makes your love entirely yours.
more about me
“My husband and I chose to elope this Summer on my birthday, and without hesitation, we went with Michelle after reviewing her incredible work.
We wanted a simple, stress-free day to celebrate and solidify our marriage, and that’s exactly what we had. A simple day in our neighbour's backyard, and on the lake eating Dairy Queen, was made into a total fairytale & captured so beautifully by Michelle.
Her work speaks for itself. I gave her my vision, and she brought it to life. The day was so fun and memorable for us, and to have the photos she took for us to look back on means the world.
I can’t say enough good things about her. I truly cried with happiness the day we got our photos back! 11/10 services🤍”

"My husband and I are in absolute heaven after just coming back from our Elopement in Jasper. Months ago, researching the best suited photographer for us, we stumbled upon Michelle’s page and fell completely in love with the romantic, delicate and boho style she presents in her art.
Michelle listened carefully to our story, dreams, and plans, always guiding us in the best possible ways. She even recommended places we didn’t think of at first, and putting our trust in her was the BEST decision we’ve made.
Michelle knows her places, her work, and has a vision of an absolute artist. We are so happy with the preview pictures we received only days after our wedding. For any couple searching for a photographer who is attentive, professional and overall a great time - Michelle is your person."
Bailey + Stephen
“About 4 months ago, we had our wedding on the frozen lake of Lake Louise in the midst of a freak snowstorm, and Michelle captured the essence of the entire day perfectly.
Seeing the photos now, it's hard to believe how seamlessly Michelle moved around during the ceremony and reception dinner. She took so many photos where we now say: “How did she get that shot? I don't even remember her standing there.” Wild.
Michelle did a fantastic job with her unique photography and editing style, which we can only describe as timeless and dreamy. Unreal.
If you're looking for a photographer who will capture the memories you and your partner can't live without, Michelle is worth every penny. We would highly recommend Michelle for not just your wedding, but any special event or occasion that needs to live on in photographs.”
Mary and Billy
“My wife and I could not be happier with having Michelle capture our elopement in the Canadian Rockies.
Michelle was flexible, pleasant to work with, and took amazing photos. We experienced all that Banff had to offer - from sun and rain to wind and snow.
Michelle was super flexible with locations that we wanted to explore and gave us the freedom to be ourselves and feel comfortable in our own element.
The photos we have today will carry a lifetime of memories and emotions. We highly recommend Michelle to anyone wanting to have their dream photos taken.”

Engagement Or Day-after Shoot
Rugged peaks or sunlit shores—choose your field of daydreams, and we’ll sneak away for a blissful little adventure of our own.
An engagement shoot is the perfect way to slow down, soak in the moment, and connect without the pressure of elopement logistics or timelines.
Or, let that just-married bliss linger a little longer with a day-after session—whether it’s a slow morning with coffee and tunes, a barefoot wander by the lake, or a rooftop drink under city stars.
