I seriously couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer for our big day. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with, getting AMAZING photos while being patient while the groom and I were pulled away by guest. She pays so much attention to detail it's incredible and she did so well with our dogs. She also edits the photos perfectly! We will definitely be using Michelle for all of our photos from now on.

My now husband and I decided we were going to elope in Nov 2019 and I needed to find a photographer who could capture our day perfectly and I am so HAPPY I found Michelle from Michelle Hall Photo. I look back at my SF City Hall wedding and cry because she was able to capture the most real, beautiful photos of our blended family. I LOVE getting family pictures taken. Michelle checked every box for me when it comes to a photographer and even more important is that she felt like a friend, so it was easier for us to be ourselves, which in returned made for real authentic happy pictures. We have used her multiple times each year for family pictures and again she did not disappoint.

Michelle has been capturing my family for years. Not only is she fantastic with my kids but she is also just easy to work with in general. I have asked her to shoot us in many different settings including a winery, my front porch, the river, I even asked her to do a shoot with my horse and she killed it! She is adaptable to any situation and takes gorgeous shots!

I can not say enough amazing, wonderful things about Michelle. She is the most professional, caring, understanding, hardworking, not just photographer but person! She helped me every step of the way for our wedding. Not just photo related but planning and supporting me and my husband through the fun and stressful time of planning a wedding. She was more than communicative throughout the process. We didn’t know each other before we scheduled our photo shoots but I know feel like we’re friends and I wouldn’t want or feel comfortable with anyone else doing our photos now. Can’t wait to schedule more photo sessions with her to celebrate more big life milestones!!

you're simply the best

My goal as your photographer, is to connect with you as I would a friend. I want to know you and your partner on a deeper level, to showcase who you are. Planning can be overwhelming, and I wish I had more insight when planning my own wedding which is why I take pride in organizing and helping anyway that I can. I thrive to make sure your experience is stress free, comfortable and fun!
