    I was fortunate to meet Michelle at my friend's baby shower which Michelle was photographing for The Knot website. The pictures she took were fantastic, bright, and expressed an authenticity that is hard to find in professional photos. Although Michelle lives in Orlando and photographs weddings, I decided to reach out to her and ask her to take professional photos for my business. Not only did she say yes, but she kept in touch with me and agreed to come down to Miami to do the shoot. I am not a professional model by any means and was sooooo nervous to take the photos. Michelle did a great job of coaching me through the shoot and making me feel calm and confident during the entire process. Now, after receiving the photos and only being able to pick twenty, my biggest problem with Michelle was that there were too many great photos to choose from. I almost cried when I saw how good I looked in the photos. Michelle has this amazing gift of being able to reflect the best version of you in a picture. I am so glad I was able to book her and she will be the only photographer that I will use for all my momentous events going forward, including my upcoming wedding. :-)

    Where do I even begin? Michelle photographed my engagement photos and my wedding. She is constantly in contact up until the big day and really gets to know you as a couple. Her style of photography is like no other and her eye and artistry are impeccable. She sees things that nobody else sees. She runs the show like a one woman wonder. There aren’t even words to describe how amazing my wedding day went with her by my side. She is constantly making sure the bride and groom are happy and is almost like having another wedding coordinator and maid of honor. She does it all, people! It’s really rewarding to watch her at work. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous and so is her heart. She has the personality that you need around you on your wedding day and makes you feel so calm and beautiful. So not only are you getting unbelievable photos, you’re getting an amazing human being to have around you on your day. I would do it all over again with her by my side a million more times! I really don’t think we could’ve gotten through our day without her there- for the sake of our sanity and for the sake of getting breathtaking photos. You will not be disappointed with Michelle as your photographer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Michelle. Logan and I truly love and adore you. We are in awe of your craft and your demeanor as you work. Unforgettable!

    Michelle has a calm & confidence about her that makes the photographed (person(s)) feel just as calm and comfortable AND GLAMOROUS in front of the camera. She laughs along with you, breaking the awkwardness of being fake in front of the camera and making the whole experience fun/laid back/ easy. I love that she is a real person just like the rest of us. She is a gem and I would use her a million more times. Definitely recommend! I don't know how many more times I could write it - just book her already!

    Michelle was absolute angel to work with! I had never done a photo shoot before, nonetheless a boudoir shoot! She quickly made me feel comfortable in front of the camera with her direction (& a little liquid courage, haha!) . Needless to say, the end result was more than anything I could’ve imagined. Delivered in a beautifully delicate, rose gold glass case right on time for me to gift it to be hubby-to-be!

    Working with Michelle was an amazing experience I can't wait to repeat. From her detailed prep-work beforehand, her constant helpful (and often soothing!) communication, to her utter professionalism both during and after our shoot, the whole day was a dream.

    As someone who can't help ruining a good picture with a silly face, the fact that nearly every single picture Michelle took is drop-dead gorgeous is a testament to her skill and artistry. I always felt that she really heard our ideas and then she filtered them through her wonderful attention to detail to deliver photos that are so much better than I would have ever thought possible. She adjusted on the fly and truly took care of EVERYTHING, calming my nerves and allowing us to focus on the moment.

    I highly recommend working with her for whatever photographic needs you may have. All of her work is beautiful, but the true magic of her photography lies in the photographer herself.

    Michelle did an absolutely beautiful job photographing my small, destination elopement. She really captured the aesthetic of our experience and translated that into beautiful, timeless images. I can’t even begin for expresss how pleased I am with our photos. Michelle is a talented, warm, and enthusiastic professional with a singular, unique vision. If you’re interested in wedding photos that will look both timeless and unlike anyone else’s, I would highly recommend her.

    I’m a photographer and I own a dslr camera. If friends or family asked me to do the photography for their wedding because they wanted to save money, I’d politely decline and give them Michelle’s number. Michelle doesn’t just take great pictures and capture moments. She captures people. I highly recommend her!

    Michelle is an amazing and creative photographer. Not only are her photos gorgeous, but she made us feel like moviestars. I was so happy we chose Michelle to take our elopement pictures. Without her we wouldn't have been able to come up with such a romantic idea. She was invested in the whole process, she even helped me pick out my dress! She makes sure to capture the emotions of the moment, not just images. Thank you Michelle!

    Shooting with Michelle was a wonderful experience!

    ​ ​She was extremely helpful and professional from the beginning to the end of the process.It was apparent, through our emails leading up to the day, that she put a lot of time and thought into injecting my personality and ideas when coming up with the concept. She came prepared with extra styling options and composed the set and myself to bring our collaborative vision to life.​ ​Michelle made me feel comfortable and sexy all while keeping a creative eye for unique and flattering shots. Though I felt awkward at the beginning of the shoot, she guided me into poses that produced stellar photos!

    “Oh. My. God.” were the words that came out of my mouth when I first saw Michelle’s brilliant work from our wedding. I believe that the words are similar for everyone who sees the pictures followed by “who was your photographer?” Michelle was a dream to work with, an absolute dream. We initially hired her to take our engagement photos and were blown away by her work. She made myself and my husband so comfortable during the shoot which is SO important. I then hired her for a boudoir shoot and that was when I really fell in love with her and her work. I am an awkward and shy person and she brought out the best in me that day. She honestly made me feel comfortable in my own skin and beautiful (my husband about died when he saw those pictures on the wedding day).
    We chose to get married in the Bahamas and Michelle’s work was so perfect that we flew her out there with us for the big day. I feel as though she wasn’t just my photographer, but also a friend and an instrumental person during my planning process. She helped me along each step of the way. She is punctual, responsive, and beyond helpful. She takes the time to get to know the couple that she is working with so that she can bring out the best in them and make the pictures as natural as possible.

    I had incredibly high expectations of Michelle, knowing her work, her work ethic, and her amazing creativity and vision. I can say, without hesitation or trepidation, that she blew my expectations right out of the water. I am so in love with ALL of our pictures and will truly cherish them forever. I love passing her name on to all of my friends and their friends so that I can continue to watch her magnificent work grow along the way to what I believe will someday be stardom.

    Michelle’s expertise as a photographer created a relaxed mood for my husband and I to be ourselves. She captured us on how we feel about each other without any pressure. We had lots of fun during the photo session and will be a memory of a fun experience captured on film. Once we saw the proofs, we realized how talented she is and are so thrilled with the results, we could not wait to share with our family and friends. I recommend her to anyone looking for a high level of photography with a very personal touch.

    Michelle has been photographing me since she just started out in 2009 and although her equipment has changed over the years, she is the same excellent photographer I've always known! She is so creative and knows all of the poses to do. We did a boudoir photo shoot for my husband as a wedding gift and even though I brought outfits, Michelle also brought things she thought I could use. She has such an eye for photography and style. She also has a knack for helping you feel comfortable and confident in a situation that could very well be awkward. Michelle does an amazing job editing and designing photo albums. I could not be happier with the album she created for me. Not only did I receive a wonderful album for my husband, I received a thank you card and lovely packaged usb with all of the photos! The only thing I regret is not hiring Michelle to photograph my wedding. I would recommend Michelle Sarkissian for all of your photography needs 1 million times over! She will not let you down.

    What stands out about Michelle is her willingness to go above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy. My husband and I found her through family/friends who used her for their wedding but we used her for our maternity shoot. She was directive during the shoot, which I appreciated as I feel it allowed for the photos to look so much better! She really captures the moment and none of our photos looked fake or posed. I requested some photos for my baby shower prior to having access to all my photos and she was able to get them to me in a timely manner and went above and beyond to get them printed somewhere that would provide good quality photos. She’s easily accessible, easy to talk to and just enjoyable person overall. I highly recommend if you are looking for someone fun and easy to work with that’s professional and amazing at what she does!

    From the moment I contacted Michelle about photographing my bridal shower, she was so sweet and very professional. She eagerly accepted the job opportunity, and exceeded all of my expectations. Her work speaks volumes, and it is evident to see her passion while she is photographing. My Bridal shower would not have been the same without her fun, sweet, and generous attitude. She had all of my friends and family feeling comfortable and happy while she was shooting away! The one thing that I loved most about having Michelle photograph my bridal shower was how she managed to capture all of the emotions flowing throughout the room that day. The pictures speak for themselves, and one can really feel the love and happiness throughout all of the beautiful pictures.

    Thank you Michelle, for being part of my wedding and for providing us with truly beautiful pictures we will cherish forever.

    Thank you!!

    Michelle has done an engagement shoot for my husband and myself, and a band photo shoot for our band. Choosing her was a no-brainer: she's so incredible at what she does! On both shoots she was SO much fun to work with. Michelle is amazing at making her subjects feel 100% at ease, and comfortable in front of the camera. For our engagement shoot she also did my makeup and hair, and made me look and feel so naturally beautiful! Shoots with Michelle are fun, creative, colorful - and her work speaks for itself. For top-quality, 100% stunning and professional photography in Central Florida at a surprisingly affordable rate, Michelle is the woman. I can't recommend her highly enough!

    Hiring Michelle Sarkissian as our Photogropher was possibly the best decision we could have made for our Engagement and Wedding.

We Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We our blessed, to be able to show our family, and children exactly how we remembered it, and how Michelle captured it, remarkably beautiful

    Michelle is extremely talented.. I am often reserved and she helped me feel more comfortable during our sessions with her. We had our engagement photos, wedding photos, and even our most recent family photos. She is patient and pays attention to details. I attribute this to her ability to blend into the background and freeze natural moments as they are happening. She gives direction, but makes everything feel natural. She is wonderful with children as well and this shines through her photos beautifully. They light up when they are around her!

    She is extremely professional and thorough! From the moment you book your wedding, or engagement photos, she helps provide direction on how to best capture your day while letting you enjoy it stress free.

    Even with the stress associated with weddings, I have to say that leading up to ours, the one thing I didn’t worry about was our photographer. Michelle was such a wonderful person to work with. She made suggestions that helped with the scheduling of our wedding day events so that we could get all the pictures we wanted. Our first experience with her, the Engagement Portrait Session, was so positive and we loved how the photos embraced our personalities. She also took time to ask us about our story as a couple, and then made sure to intertwine some of that into our session in such a tasteful, sophisticated way.

    Michelle definitely exceeded our expectations. Our wedding photos sincerely captured all the love that we felt that day with our friends and family. Even the guests that couldn’t make it have since told us how much fun they have looking at our photos.

    Our wedding day was the beginning of our family, and we know that one day when we decide to add any little members to the bunch, Michelle will be the first person we call to capture all our milestones.

    I cannot say enough about the quality of work Michelle produced at our wedding.

    Her editorial and artistic photographic style stand out from the general run of the mill photographers I researched to potentially capture our big day. Michelle was organized throughout the whole process leading up to our wedding day and encouraged me to think about details I had not yet considered, thanks to her experience.

    Looking back at the pictures, I appreciate the attention to the seemingly smallest moments that couldn’t have been planned- a tender moment shared between my groom and I as we watched a video made by the MOHs, and even a tearful, yet joyous encounter between my mother and sister.

    Michelle was there for the small moments, as well as the big ones and not once did I feel her clicking away capturing them. She seemed to be everywhere and where you needed her at the same time. There’s no direction that needs to be given if you appreciate her artistic approach to photography. She turns the ordinary into more than extraordinary– it’s magical.

    Michelle provided us with stunning photos of our special day!

    After our consultation, we both knew right away that she was exactly who we wanted to photograph our wedding. She was kind and concerned about our needs and wants while remaining extremely professional. On the big day, we felt completely confident that we could trust Michelle and her assistants to capture every special moment. She was so sweet and patient which really put us at ease throughout the entire day.

    Our wedding photos reflect the vibrancy and glow of our love and the emotion of each moment.

    Michelle has been photographing my family since before either of my children were born. She has this finesse and character about her to which people are drawn.
    Her patience allows her to get to know you, interacting and inquiring about the family and your day even before she goes behind the camera. You see her as a person, not just a camera to pose for. She makes everyone involved feel comfortable, cool, and calm. It allows us to just be ourselves. Even when posing, she encourages us to begin and end in the desired position, and directs movement and engagement throughout the shots. The result looks natural because it is!
    My wedding experience with Michelle was phenomenal. Her process encourages exploration while still achieving all the usual and timeless wedding photos and poses. She is able to capture discoveries and inquiries on camera, making for fun, beautiful, and exceptional art.
