    Michele is the BEST!

    It's hard to put into words how amazing Michele is. I am so glad a friend recommended her to me for my engagement/wedding photos. Michele is so caring, kind hearted, and fun to be around. She really made me feel like a movie star. She is so great to work with and my husband and I felt comfortable and confident in her. Our wedding photos are AMAZING. I literally cried looking at them. She captured our day perfectly. Additionally, she made the day feel so smooth and easy. She gives the best advice - for photos, for timeline, for venues and locations, the list goes on. The team of ladies she works with, Maria and Rachel are also great. The three of them made our day. Our bridal party and family members were complimenting them constantly. Finally, I really love her style. Her photos are timeless and beautiful. I know that as the years pass we will look back at the moments she captured and be so happy. I could not recommend her enough.

    Professional, Fun, and Amazing work!

    My wife and I couldn't have been more excited when we received our wedding day photos! To set the mood we poured a little wine, lit some candles, snuggled up on the couch and enjoyed the day all over again. The photos Michele took were absolutely stunning and exceeded all of our expectations. She managed to capture every moment, emotion, and detail flawlessly. Her professionalism and warm demeanor made our entire wedding day a complete joy. We can't thank her enough for accommodating our requests and going the extra mile to capture the shots that both my wife and I wanted. We can't wait to share all of them with all of our families and friends! Thank you again Michele for being a part of our beautiful wedding and for capturing the moments that we will have forever. We are sincerely grateful for your hard work and dedication. We will happily recommend Michele to anyone and everyone!

    Wedding, Engagement, Senior Photos...

    Michele is an amazing photographer who I would highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to capture their special event. Michele has photographed me for my sweet sixteen, graduation, engagement, engagement photos, and wedding. She has also done many other events for my family. Michele and Maria are so personable. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, even if you are out of your element! These two take amazing photos. They are so creative. All you have to do is give them your vision and they can run with it. Or if you dont know what you want, they have SO much knowledge.Their work is absolutely stunning. From the portraits, to the candid shots, they are beyond what I expected. Michele Maloney Photography will always be my choice when there is a special event!

    Favorite photographer by far!

    Michele and Maria were absolutely fantastic! The communication was amazing and it was so nice as our plans kind of shifted our photographers were so helpful. They were excellent in asking if we wanted anything through the day and make sure we got all of our requested shots covered. They both are just lovely and we would highly recommend to book them!

    She is amazing!

    Michele was the best person we could have picked to capture our wedding. We unfortunately were one of the Covid couples but Michele made the whole process of trying to plan a wedding through a pandemic as calming as possible. She was great with all of our families and really captured the love during our engagement and wedding photos. There really isn't a day that goes by where I do not look at my pictures. I am obsessed- from our posed pictures, candids and detail shots. I am so happy and so impressed that I let everyone know that they need to look into her services for their wedding. I will never be able to thank her enough for the images she captured for us.

    Michele is absolutely amazing!

    My husband and I absolutely LOVED working with Michele! She is an absolutely wonderful and delightful person to be around.

    Our first photo shoot with Michele was our engagement photos. My husband, Travis, and I, really wanted photos that embraced our personalities and interests. Michele worked with us to get the perfect, magical, outdoor vibes we were looking for. She even humored us by taking photos with some of our favorite snacks that we lugged around: a cheese and charcuterie board, and ice cream. Michele made us feel so comfortable in the front of the camera. What’s more, the engagement shoot felt like a fun date, rather than a photo shoot.

    With such an amazing first experience for our engagement photos, Travis and I knew that were in great hands for our wedding day. Michele was so communicative and helpful leading up to our wedding day. She helped me identify the photos I wanted to take, with whom, where, and other details that I didn’t even know I needed to figure out. She provided feedback for our overall schedule of the day, ensuring we would get the time we needed for the photos we wanted.

    Michele and her team are INCREDIBLE!! Both my husband and I come from big families, and our wedding day had a lot of moving parts (2 houses, 3 zeffas, different locations for the ceremony and receptions…etc). Michele captured it all! We have so many gorgeous photos that people are constantly gushing over. As I’ve been making photo gifts for people, I can’t even decide which photos to print, because I love so many of them.

    Michele is an incredibly talented and passionate photographer who produces breathtaking and timeless photographs. You will love working with her!

    An amazingly sweet friend

    Michele is an absolute 10/10 in skill and personality!! She has been so incredibly sweet to me and my family. She has gone above and beyond with our engagement photos and our wedding photos! When I asked Michele if she would be OK with a sudden change in our wedding plans, she was so flexible and excited to accommodate us and get some amazing shots. She is so amazing at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera, which helped us get even better shots! I can honestly say that Michele really wants to understand you and get to know you as a person, and even better yet, as a friend! I can’t imagine our wedding day with her.

    I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and 100% use her again for any professional photos that we need in the future! Thank you so much Michele for being so kind to us! We loved having you as part of our wedding celebration :)

    The single BEST wedding decision.

    We have now been with Michele for over 2 years. She is the single best wedding decision we have made. Everything we wanted, she was. She was so responsive, flexible, and she made us even more excited than we already were for our big day. I had talked to a few photographers before I came across Michele's work on Instagram. It was clear from the second I started talking to her that Michele was so experienced, knew exactly what she was talking about, was so professional, and was just such a joy to talk to. Michele is just an awesome person to be around. She is ALWAYS smiling, she is so kind, and she is so loving. We call her our wedding angel, and every single person at our intimate wedding remarked at how wonderful of a person she was and how she fit right into our family. What a blessing she has been!

    And her work is just PERFECT. Our engagement pictures were everything we could every ask for. She captured exactly what we envisioned our wedding photography to be. She just has an eye for detail and natural light that my husband, a photographer by hobby, and I are just obsessed with. Then COVID-19 hit, and everything we had planned for 2.5 years for our wedding blew up just 60 days before our big day. Michele - bless everything about this woman - consoled us and worked to amend our plans. She was so flexible with us. We were really concerned about a second/third/fourth wave of COVID cases, so we wanted to seal the deal ASAP. Michele was so wonderful. She did everything to ensure she could be at both our small ceremony and our bigger reception later in the fall. She didn't bat an eye every time the stay-at-home orders were extended, and we needed to postpone. She truly cared that we have the best start to our marriage. Our Wedding 1.0 pictures turned out perfectly. I never imagined I could be so in love with the memories someone else captured - I WAS WRONG. We really feel like Michele is the reason we were able to salvage our wedding and make it absolutely perfect. We could not recommend Michele any more. She has become family to us. In fact, we have already recommended her to 5 of our newly engaged friends and almost all have taken our word! She is incredible. The best part? We get to do it all again in October - government and corona allowing.

    Phenomenal, Start to Finish.

    Michele was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Even though we were planning our wedding from out of state, Michele made coordinating easy and was so flexible and helpful when COVID derailed our plans multiple times. She was so reassuring and even helped us find a new church when our day shifted from a 300 person wedding in Metro Detroit to just our parents and siblings on Mackinac Island/northern MI. She answered every question (and there were a LOT) with such care and consideration, and was on board for all of my unconventional ideas. All of my family members raved about Michele (and her husband, who acted as a wonderful assistant) who fit right in with our small, 20 person group. By the end of the weekend she felt less like a photographer and more like a friend. On top of all that, her work is beautiful. I mean STUNNING. We are so happy with how our photos turned out. The compliments we get on our photos are endless. She went above and beyond to edit the photos, taking into consideration our personal preferences. While shooting individual photos of the myself and the groom before our reception, Michele let each of us snap a few photos of the other person along side her which was so fun and something both my husband and I loved! Michele is fantastic. We can't recommend her enough.

    Oh Megan and Michael, thank you so much for the kindest words!!! I can't wait to meet you at the Grand Hotel for your next anniversary trip!

    Best wedding photographer!!

    5 stars is not enough for how wonderful Michele is not only as a photographer but as a person. Every part of my wedding was captured so beautifully. Her attention to detail, from what’s in the background to the lighting makes every photo she takes beautiful. Her charming and friendly personality makes you feel like you have been best friends forever, even if it’s the first time working with her. Even when I’m not so photogenic and a bit tense when it comes to taking professional photography, she made it relaxed and fun!
    During the wedding, she was my event coordinator... although that was definitely not in her job description! She knew the time line and the day of schedule to make sure we were on time.
    The photography.. just beautiful. Captured the candid moments of the day. People enjoying themselves at our backyard wedding.
    Michele was who I wanted for my wedding pictures from the start. She was my first call and I’m so glad our schedules met because my memories from that hectic but fun, beautiful day is captured so wonderfully. Memories live through photography and she is the perfect photographer for that job.

    Amazing Photographer!

    I can't begin to say enough wonderful things about Michele! From beginning to end she's been more than just a photographer. She's so personal, detailed and truly cares about you and your day.

    Our engagement session was a fun way to get amazing photos and really get comfortable working with each other. She has such an eye for unique and stunning photos. She went above and beyond for us, I ended up printing about 80 photos from that session!

    Now for the wedding....Michele didn't just show up. We chatted on the phone multiple times before the big day, she helped me with the day of timelines, photo ideas and the nitty gritty details that I was confused about. She weathered the terrible cold for us and got some amazing shots! She makes you feel so special, and she truly is so fun!

    I recommend her to everyone I know that's looking for a photographer because she truly captures your emotions. When I look at my photos, it brings me right back to how I felt in that moment. That's a skill and it's so very special!

    Michele is amazing! Having Michele photograph my daughter's wedding was the best decisions ever! From the very beginning, she held our hands to make sure the wedding was perfect and it was! She gave us advice, pointed us in the right direction and assured us it would be lovely! She is such a hardworking, compassionate and caring person. Highly recommended!

    Your search for a wedding photographer stops here! I can't say enough about Michele! She was in constant contact via email/phone/text and her knowledge about weddings provided some much needed advice for timelines and details to put in place well before the actual wedding. We had seen her work before with the groom's cousin so we knew our photos were in good hands. Michele is so personable and we had an instant connection with her and felt unbelievably comfortable with her behind the camera. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and timeless and she has a knack for capturing the best candids! She got our photos to us much faster than we anticipated and we cannot thank her enough for giving us the opportunity to be able to view the pictures together before the groom's long departure. Michele is fantastic, her photography is amazing and she's the best communicator by far out of any vendor we had.

    My husband and I can not say enough about Michele Maloney and her work. From the moment that we booked her to the day she brought us our wedding album, everything that Michele did was truly amazing. Her pictures are absolutely beautiful. Not only is she truly a gifted artist but it is obvious that she loves what she does. Michele took so much care to make sure that we were happy and everything was perfect. She was also very professional, easy to work with, knowledgeable, and flexible. We can not say how thankful we are to Michele for everything that she did to capture our special day. It was an amazing experience working with her!!
