YOUR STORY, YOUR WAY

You are here because you know your story is not the same as others. Down to every detail, you are creating something amazing. From that guest list that took you way too long to finalise, to the styling and bringing the dream to life. You are both ready to show your love in front of your family, willingly, vulnerably, and with your own story.

My job is to bring you back to these moments.

The Magic of Weddings

What I love most about weddings are the kids running around laughing, the tipsy family members adding a touch of humor, and the laughter that fills the halls.

I cherish the quiet moments that will always be remembered, the crazy dance moves on the dance floor (some of which you might wish I didn't capture as proof of their bad dance moves), the amazing food that everyone will talk about for years after your wedding, and the styling that just 'worked'.

Meet your photographer

Hi, I am Michelle, nice to meet you

I’m based just outside of the beautiful city of Dunedin. Running this Portrait photography business is literally my dream come true.

I’m passionate about everything related to photography and constantly strive to capture the most genuine moments.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me savouring a cup of coffee (If it hasn't gone cold), wrangling 2 small humans under 3, or spending quality time with my friends and family.

Your Experience, Perfected

Over the years, I have obsessed over my client experience, from the first time you contact me to when you finally have all your images in your hands. I want this experience to be fun, especially leading up to your wedding.

packages & offerings

I offer packages that I know you will swoon over, starting from $2299 and ranging up to $8,599 for clients who want a little more. Here’s what else I offer:

Custom-Made Wedding Albums: Perfect for preserving memories, and your mother-in-law will love this option.

Engagement Sessions: Ideal for trialing your makeup and outfits, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and creating great photos to share before the wedding day.

Second Photographers: Ensuring no detail is overlooked by working closely with trusted professionals.Social Media Kits: For fast posting for you and your family (because who doesn't want that?!).

this is why i do it...

"We have had a mini session for our daughters at Michelle’s studio, as well as bringing her along as our wedding photographer. Michelle not only takes fantastic photos but she makes anyone feel at ease being in front of the camera, and is super friendly and caring towards all. Highly recommend!!"
