Celebrate the beauty of your story for generations to come—with striking, spirited images that capture the emotion behind every moment, memory, and milestone.
You love freely and live life beautifully. You deserve images that honor that magic.
Whether you’re tying the knot at a historic venue, an expansive estate, or out in the open air—yours is bound to be a celebration grounded in meaning and alive with energy. As a seasoned Mississippi and Washington D.C. wedding photographer, it’s my privilege to document the distinct vibrance and emotions of your day with an expert eye, deep honesty, and a familiar touch.

Welcome to Michelle Whitley Photography
Here to suspend this moment in time—so you can savor every second of it for seasons to come.
While I’ve captured over 150 love stories and have a highly honed level of technical acumen, more than anything else, I bring humanity—and a sense of humor—to my time with you. (Read: I'm here to work, but I know how to have fun along the way.)
My goal is for you to feel comfortable and cared for at every touchpoint—so you can celebrate without worrying about the click of my camera. If you’re seeking images that turn the fleeting into the forever—and a process as supportive as it is rooted in expertise—you’ll love what I have in store for you.
I'm Michelle, and I'm so thrilled you landed here—welcome!

My work is driven by our desire to capture your energy in an organic & honest way. What makes your story yours can’t be recreated—but, with an expert eye behind the lens, it can be preserved artfully.

Who said once-in-a-lifetime can’t last forever?
From loving glances and glasses raised—to easy embraces, inside jokes, and tears shed—there’s nothing I love more than using the age-old art of photography to turn modern moments into enduring memories.
I would love to get to know you more, so I can help you forever relive and revel in the moments that matter most.
