From the time we asked Michelle to be our photographer, to the day itself, I had no doubt in my mind that she was the best person to capture one of the most important days of our lives, and be a part of capturing every intimate moment, every laugh, kiss, and tear of our day.
BAILEY + STEPHEN
Michelle is by far the best photographer I've ever worked with. She is so fun to be around and make you feel so comfortable. Michelle fully understood my vision for both our engagement photos and our wedding day.
CHELSEY + ROBIN
Our wedding day was perfect and Michelle captured it perfectly - better than I could have imagined! All of the pictures from our engagement session and our wedding are all my favorite, really! Michelle is truly special and James and I are so blessed to have had her capture this special time in our lives!
YEN + JAMES
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 memory and emotion.

Great news—I'm here
to lend a hand!
You've decided to ditch the whole big wedding scene and opt for something more intimate—a Banff elopement or micro wedding! It's a choice that just feels right for you.
Shifting away from the stress of planning a massive event, you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. This new plan is so much more "you" and you're feeling pumped about it. It's all about embracing what truly matters to you and celebrating your love in a way that feels authentic and personal.
Does this ring a bell?

"I’d say that the biggest challenge we faced with eloping was our unfamiliarity with the area and vendors in terms of creating a plan for our wedding day. All worries went away when we hired Michelle! She was so helpful throughout the process. She told me about trusted vendors in the area, and different locations we could use for the ceremony and photos.
As someone who is not always comfortable in front of the camera- I felt confident with Michelle. She has a way of making you feel at ease. The photos were always something that was very important to me, and even more so because of our decision to elope. We did not have any family or friends there with us, so we are thrilled to have beautiful images that we can proudly show our loved ones that really capture our day."
