    Highly Recommend

    Michelle was wonderful to work with for our wedding. The photos were stunning, and she captured so many candid moments which would have been entirely missed or forgotten if not for the picture. She was also extremely patient and calm throughout the entire process leading up to the wedding and the day of; the calmness was much appreciated in the busyness of the day! I highly recommend!

    Fantastic Service

    Michelle was fantastic to work with. She was receptive to all of our photo-location ideas and provided many suggestions of her own. She was incredibly nice and fit in great with our small COVID wedding group. She even shuttled my new in-laws from the ceremony location back to their cabin when they missed the venue-provided bus! Most importantly the photos turned out absolutely amazing and there were so many of them for a short 10 min ceremony! We couldn't be happier with the level of service and the final photos.

    Perfect experience!!

    Michelle was wonderful to work with. We had to change our wedding plans due to COVID and we are so happy we got to work with her! She responded quickly to my emails, was extremely professional, and lovely to be around. We thought that having our pictures taking would be an awkward experience, but she made us feel comfortable the whole time. If we could do it all over again we wouldn't change a thing!

    Fantastic Photographer

    Due to the global pandemic our wedding plans took a major turn. We had originally planned a winery wedding with all of our friends and family. We changed our date, then our venue and Michelle worked with us so that our day would as we desired. Michelle was always flexible and willing to work with us. She is extremely professional and responsive. We loved all of her pictures and found her to be totally professional in every way. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Amazing in every way

    Michelle literally is the best, most genuine, kind person ever!! Not only does she become your photographer, but also your friend! She makes you feel like you've known her forever, and she actually cares about making sure she captures every possible moment of your special day. Not to mention, her photography skills are AMAZING, and I couldn't be happier with how my wedding photos turned out. Michelle takes the time to personalize your day and your photos, and even after she's photographed your day, she continues to make you feel special when she sends your personalized wedding box including your digit photos. My family, husband, and I can't rave about Michelle enough. You won't be disappointed in any aspect of your special day when choosing Michelle! She truly goes above and beyond.

    Michelle is AMAZING. Wow! Go with her, and you'll get your dream photos (+ more)!

    Michelle was incredible!! We got married during the pandemic, and our original photographer cancelled on us two weeks before the wedding. Michelle came through for us at the last minute and quelled any stress we had about it. Then, the day of, she arrived early, she had ideas about the perfect pics, and she was also flexible to do whatever pics we preferred. She is friendly, professional, and beyond talented! She took SUCH great pictures, candid and posed, and took even more pictures than I could've hoped for while never being intrusive/in the way. Michelle is perfect and knows exactly what she's doing. We are so pleased with her skills, her warmth, and her talent. Go with her -- she's incredible!

    Amazing, flexible, and responsive (and fun!)

    Michelle was excellent to work with! She delivered full digital galleries of almost 200 pictures from our engagement/advanced "first look" session within two days and close to 500 edited wedding photos exactly 2 weeks after our big day. Super flexible and incredibly responsive by email and phone both in the lead up to the wedding and the day of. As a photographer, she was easy to work with giving suggestions without dictating and making sure to incorporate what mattered to us. In talking about our vision with her, we agreed that the hourly rate would be sufficient for our afternoon wedding rather than one of her preset packages, and I appreciate that we still own all the pictures with original size downloads. I would highly recommend her to others.

    Our Same Sex Brewery Wedding

    Michelle was absolutely incredible! We ADORE her! She was so easy to work with and was so accommodating. She drove all the way from VA to Baltimore during the week for our engagement shoot and stayed until the sun went down to get our perfect sunset photos. Our wedding pictures were beyond amazing and we have received so many compliments. The best part was that we got a sneak peek of them just 4 days after the wedding and had access to our whole gallery in just a few short weeks. We are so grateful for her. We love you Michelle!

    Amazing service with a smile

    Michelle was a dream to work with before, during, and after our wedding. She has a calming presence and manages to get wonderful photos without making anything feel too posed. Michelle is extremely responsive and makes you feel like a long time friend. Her experience leads to great advice when planning and helps her anticipate exactly what you need from her as a photographer. It seemed like Michelle was reading our minds and was always a step ahead. We strongly recommend you consider Michelle for any future photography needs - we certainly will!

    AMAZING! Highly recommend.

    I was really nervous for my fiancé's and my engagement photo session. Being behind the camera sounded intimidating. However, Michelle made it so easy and fun! After about 5 minutes, I felt relaxed. She was so sweet, attentive, and professional. I felt like she really cared about me and my fiancé. If you are looking for a photographer that you can really trust and enjoy your time with...Michelle is your girl!!!

    Michelle is absolutely wonderful! She has been very easy to get in touch with throughout the entire process. She is always ready and willing to answer any questions we have. When we first met with her to discuss our wedding package, we knew she was the right photographer for us. Her warm personality put us at ease while we had been worrying about the chaos of wedding planning. We got to know Michelle better when she joined us for a hike to take engagement photos! She has a natural way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Our engagement photos were stunning and we are so excited to work with her again in May on our wedding day!

    Magazine-worthy

    Michelle was the ultimate photographer, very easy to work with. Prior to our day she and I shared a folder with photo inspiration tailed to our style. We had a second photographer for our day and they both worked very well together coming up with different shots that day. When our guests started to arrive for the ceremony they even drove us to a nearby site for additional photos. We received so many photos (way more than most of my friends) both candids and portraits. Our couples photos (and others) were filled with personality and beauty. At our reception you hardly knew Michelle was there and she captured many fun photos. Her photos are truly magazine-worthy and you will not regret choosing her.

    You can't do better than Michelle. She was so professional during the entire planning process, yet kept a very personal touch about her. Michelle is incredibly organized, which helps her know how to adapt to any situation that comes up on your wedding day. Our pictures were absolutely incredible and captured the love that we felt on our wedding day. I couldn't be happier with her services.

    We used Michelle Turek as our engagement and wedding photographer and couldn't have been more pleased! Michelle was awesome to work with. She made us feel comfortable and really got to know our style which was reflected in her photos. Michelle is extremely accommodating... I think we had to reschedule our engagement photo shoot three times due to weather! We had our full wedding gallery within a month of the wedding and they were easily accessible via email and an app on our phones. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone!

    Best photographer ever!

    Michelle was great to work with and we could not have asked for better final results. She was professional, easy to work with, and super attentive to all of our needs (and wants!). She caught every important moment, from several angles, and shared our pictures with us REALLY quickly. We could not have hoped for a better photographer for our wedding.

    Michelle was amazing. We had an outdoor wedding and it rained really hard, but she was game and made the photos look really great. We worked with it and you couldn't even tell the weather was what some might call "raining almost the entire time with a dark gray sky".

    She was running around shooting here, shooting there - it was like we had 3 photographers. The price was reasonable, she was professional and really friendly, and the photos came out great. Also very easy to get ahold of and accommodating. We would recommend her to anyone - and we will!

    Watch out, other wedding photographers - MICHELLE IS IN THE HOUSE AND SHE CAN OUTCLASS, OUTSNAP, OUTPRINT, OUTGLOSS, OUTPRIMP, AND OUTACCOMMODATE ALL OF YOU ;) :)

    Would highly recommend Michelle!!! She put us at ease, and knew our venue better than us. She helped us relax and be silly in front of the camera, and nothing felt posed or forced. She was funny and warm, and it felt like just another friend was there taking our picture. We love Michelle's photos, and look forward to keeping them for a lifetime : )

    Michelle is an amazing photographer and an absolute joy to work with. She is super professional, and at the same time, extremely friendly and warm which made the whole process very enjoyable. We also had the pleasure of working with Mary Beth, who Michelle brought along as a second photographer for our wedding day. Both of them are super talented which resulted in some fantastic photos of our special day that we will treasure forever!

    We do not have enough good things to say about Michelle! Michelle was so generous and willing to work around our hectic schedules to help put us at ease. Her pleasantness and eagerness to please was a huge comfort. Throughout the whole process, Michelle blew away our expectations. We would highly recommend Michelle and have already!
