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 we’ve captured over 400 love stories between the two of us and have a highly honed level of technical acumen, more than anything else, we bring humanity—and a sense of humor—to our time with you. (Read: we’re here to work, but we know how to have fun along the way.)
Our goal is for you to feel comfortable and cared for at every touchpoint—so you can celebrate without worrying about the click of our 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 we have in store for you.
We’re Michelle and Sarah, and we’re so thrilled you landed here—welcome!

Our 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 we love more than using the age-old art of photography to turn modern moments into enduring memories.
We would love to get to know you more, so we can help you forever relive and revel in the moments that matter most.
