TIMELESS IMAGERY THAT MAKES YOU  feel

Heading

My expertise is in the details - the quiet glances, the genuine laughter, the small, fleeting moments that tell the most meaningful stories. I focus on capturing candid and authentic images that reflect both the joy and intimacy of your day. Whether it’s a celebration or a quiet exchange, I aim to preserve those real, emotional moments as they naturally unfold.

My approach is thoughtful and intuitive. I blend into the background to document unposed, honest moments, but I’m always close enough to offer support when needed. I’m not just your photographer - I’m a calming presence, a guide, and someone who genuinely cares about your experience.

The final images tell a visual story that goes beyond how your day looked - they reflect how it felt. Every photo is meant to evoke emotion, to bring you back to that moment, and to become a lasting memory you’ll cherish for years to come.

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER,

MY APPROACH

Michaela

I’m an intimate wedding and elopement photographer based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Since as long as I can remember, my passion for photography has been deeply rooted in me. Capturing images with my iphone during my childhood, I preserved treasured moments shared with friends, family, and during our journeys.

Like with anything I do, I’ve put much heart, work and energy into photography. Behind every photo there is a feeling and a memory and I want to be there to intentionally capture it. The most fulfilling part of my work is the genuine emotions and positive messages I receive from my clients.
