About Michelle
Hello!!
I am Michelle, a featured and award-winning London Ontario Wedding Photographer. I fell in love with photography when I was 16 years old in my high school photography class and have my amazing teacher to thank for kick starting the passion I have for this business I have built.
Behind the camera, I am married to my high school sweetheart, spend my days with my little corgi Samson and a collector of cute pins! In my spare time, I love to cuddle up on the couch and binge watch Ru Paul's Drag Race or read a good fantasy romance novel!
My Story
My Story
Back in 2013, at the age of 21 and a year after graduating from the Fanshawe College Photography Program, I began Michelle A Photography out of my childhood bedroom (complete with super cool dolphin poster)!
A mere 3 months later, I photographed my very first wedding under my own business. I immediately fell in love with everything!! I worked several retail jobs until I ended up laid off in the winter of 2015 (R.I.P. Future Shop). From there, I threw everything I had into my business. In 2016, I went 100% full-time and have been capturing weddings ever since!
My WhyWhy do I Photograph Weddings?
As a Wedding Photographer, I get to be a part of a once in a lifetime day and photograph so many precious memories. But most importantly, I get to capture unique relationships and document them for years to come!
I married my High School Sweetheart on a sunny spring day in an outdoor ceremony surrounded by our closest friends and family. Precious moments in our relationship were included in so many ways.
Our corgi Samson was included with a little bowtie. Our first dance was to the same song he asked me to be his girlfriend too. Our cake topper was a scene from our favourite show and we entered our reception to one of our favourite songs. All things that were so uniquely us!
Because of this, I am a believer in true love and finding that one person who compliments your quirks. I found mine at 17 and now I get to participate in wedding days that are one of a kind!

A collection of things I’ve seen at weddings over the years that live in my mind rent free. From decor to sentimental details, I love seeing how couples infuse who they are into their special day🩷

Posed, Prompted, or Candid?💙
When couples ask me about my photography style, I say: “I want your final gallery to look as your wedding day did — this includes a blend of posed, prompted, and candid photos.”
So what’s the difference between the three?
Posed: Fully directed by me. Think: family formals, couples portraits and wedding party photos.
Prompted: Light guidance or actions to create natural interactions. Think: walking hand-in-hand, laughing, or practicing your first dance.
Candid: 100% unposed and organic. Captured as it happens. Think: the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception dance floor.
Each type plays a special role in telling the full story of your day and I am there to capture every second!
