About This Company
Here are just a few of the raves we heard about Michelle Walker Photography:
“We were beyond thrilled with Michelle Walker’s photography at our wedding. She has an amazing eye, creative touch, and is absolutely non-intrusive in the ceremony. She captured the emotion and feeling of the day and I’d give her my highest recommendation. She’s truly a pro and I’d hire her again in a minute.”
“On the day of the wedding, she kept me calm and laughing. The photos were phenomenal. They don’t look like wedding photos. They look like magazine photos. I recommend her a million times over-and I’m really picky.”
“She is personable, fun to work with, amazingly talented and very professional. I had 1,200 gorgeous proofs and my album is fabulous.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the photos! They really reflect the essence of our wedding. I feel that they are true to our spirits—I don’t look at the photos and think, ‘who are those people?’ I think, ‘Wow, we had such an awesome time at our wedding.’ Also, I am VERY unphotogenic—which was my biggest concern about finding a photographer (nothing worse than spending a ton of money on photos where you look terrible). Not only did Michelle capture the best of me, but she did it over a thousand times.”
“She makes the bride and groom shine.”
Background
Certainly Michelle Walker brings her training in fine-art photography to bear in every wedding that she shoots, but what really makes her a standard-setter among wedding photojournalists is her ability to connect emotionally. One fellow professional explained that she’s so adept at capturing the spirit of the day because “her giving heart and kind soul allows her to truly be in aware of and in touch with the energy flow of a wedding day.” Another added, “My clients also enjoy the process of working with Michelle—she is incredibly personable and fun. Michelle gets them to relax and enjoy themselves which makes for great photos!”
Michelle’s work been published in Grace Ormonde, The Wall Street Journal, Elegant Bride, The Knot, Wedding Bells, SF Magazine, and Islands Magazine. Michelle is an active member of Wedding and Portrait Photographers Int’l (WPPI) and By Recommendation Only (BRO) in addition to being a founding member of the well-regarded TheShortListSF.
Services
“Her work is crisp, fresh, artful, spirited, sophisticated. She truly has an eye that is able to capture the emotions of a wedding day and it’s many details. There is a very fine art quality in her work. The images evoke passion, sensuality, joy, beauty, and most especially a quiet sense of elegance,” according to one fellow wedding professional.
Michelle always works in digital and with a second photographer to assure that every moment is captured. “Where you may get one or at most two incredible shots of your wedding by other photographers, you get many, many amazing, breathtaking images from Michelle,” said one fan.
Michelle offers online hosting of your photos through Pictage.com, which allows you and your guests to view and purchase photographs online. You may also order custom prints directly from Michelle and work with her to create a beautifully custom-designed Leather Craftsmen or Graphistudio album.
