She took such lovely photos of our wedding and truly captured the best moments from the day. She recently took some family photos of us as well and they're equally beautiful. I wish we had more wall space to display her work! She's affordable for such incredible work and a great communicator. You won't go wrong with hiring her! read more

Michelle photographed our wedding in June 2025, and she was amazing! We connected through my husband's mother; Michelle had done photos of my husband and his siblings when they were young. Michelle met me at our venue a week or two before the wedding to scope it out. She is so kind and really wants you to have a special day, so she takes the responsibility of capturing it all! We had a large wedding party which can be challenging to manage, but Michelle got beautiful photos! We got our sneak peek photos within 5 days and our full gallery a couple months later, and Michelle said she had taken the most photos ever. The editing, lighting, and poses all fit with the vibe of the day. We are so grateful!! read more

Such a phenomenal photographer! So good with my two kids (ages 2.5 and 6 months), who are a little too young to take direction well! Very patient and kind. Absolutely stunning location she suggested. She went above and beyond and we're thrilled with the outcome. This was our first time taking professional family photos and we'll definitely be working with Michelle again! read more

Michelle has not only become our family photographer but she has also become part of our family! She did our engagement shoot, wedding photos, and most recently our newborn photos at our home.

Let me just start with.. WOW!! We hired her for our wedding photographer and she did AMAZING. Not only did our photos turn out stunning, but everything about her presence with you is just so welcoming and fun. My husband and I were able to connect and laugh with her and also her partner so well it was like we knew them already. I was already nervous the day of my wedding and I was scared that's how I was going to be during photos but they made us both laugh and smile the entire time, during the solo ones especially, that the pictures came out looking like candid photos just like I wanted. Trust me when I say you get what you pay for. Her company is TOTALLY worth it. She is also reasonably priced and has different photo package options to choose from so the pricing is very flexible. Thanks again Michelle!! read more

I cannot express my gratitude enough for Michelle johnson and her amazing photography abilities! Michelle is a childhood friend who, from the day I met her has been a loyal, loving, outstanding person. Her abilities as a photographer go above and beyond anything I could have asked for for my daughter's wedding. She covered every aspect of the pre-pictures, wedding pictures and the reception. There's not a single picture that was missed. All groups were covered. All individuals were covered. She was a professional, precise, punctual and made our day absolutely perfect. You would have never even known she was there. It was like she was in stealth mode, capturing the perfect pictures without getting in the way. I cannot wait to hire her again someday when my younger daughter gets married. She edited the pictures and got them to us in a timely manner, they were absolutely precious and I will treasure them forever. I would highly recommend booking Michelle early as she books up very quickly. read more

Wedding photography can be so tricky for someone who is not used to being photographed. I voiced this to Michelle prior and she went ABOVE and BEYOND to find the coolest location for us, take candid photos, and above all make us feel comfortable and in our element for our engagement photos.

Michelle photographed my kids in 1998 and returned 23 years later to photograph my daughter's wedding. From the first phone call, I knew we had made the right decision- we needed someone that could take charge of our crazy, large family but also someone who was creative and had an eye for the kind of photos we wanted. We made special requests, and pulled her in every direction possible - and she shined at every moment. Photos were STUNNING and her assistance with the final book was an integral part of my appreciation. Michelle is professional, creative, and we hope to use her time and time again! read more

I'm giving 100 stars! Michelle has been capturing my milestone moments since high school! Throughout each event/session Michelle always brings a smile and the best energy to get you excited and having fun! Every picture she takes becomes my favorite. I can't thank her enough for helping me bring out the model in my now husband and actually getting him to smile. On top of that she was able to keep our large family and bridal party on track, and that was no easy task! When you book Michelle not only will you get amazing photos you will get the most wonderful memory. I'm still trying to figure out how to hire her on a daily basis to start my day off with a hype session to make me feel as gorgeous and confident as she made me feel during all our photo shoots Thank you for all you do Michelle! read more

Michelle is truly one of a kind! I found her through the California Botanic Garden's preferred vendor list, and I am so grateful to have had her capture my wedding day. Michelle exudes positivity, genuine joy and excitement. My husband and I are quite camera shy, but Michelle's energy is so infectious-- it took her almost no effort at all to get us out of our shells. Not only was Michelle easy to be around, but she was willing to work with our budget, schedules, endless questions with utmost grace and patience. On the day of our wedding, Michelle went above and beyond to take us to the most beautiful spots for romantics, and was incredibly professional conducting group photo-ops with our family and friends. My husband and I know how busy Michelle is, as she's the preferred photographer for quite a number of venues, and we didn't expect our photos to drop into our inbox for a few months....but again, Michelle went above and beyond to send us our photos 2 weeks after our wedding date. WOW! Michelle, you are incredible, a true artist, and an inspiration! Thank you so much for everything, we hope to see you again to capture the next milestone in our lives. read more

I've used Michelle for years. As long as she's available I'll always use her. It's hard to find a good photographer that checks all the boxes but she does. She understands what you're looking for and delivers on expectations. Would recommend for any occasion. read more

She is genuine, so easy to get along with, makes everyone smile, and is SO fun to work with. She made our wedding dreams come true with her photography skills and ability to make everyone feel so comfortable. She is very organized, easy to get a hold of, and beyond helpful with scheduling and staying on schedule. She also does a wonderful job making sure the entire wedding process is intimate and personalized to the bride and groom's needs. My entire family and wedding party loved her, which is no surprise. Leanna is also amazing and was a treat to have on our wedding day. If you are looking for a photographer that will meet all of your wedding expectations and beyond, choose Michelle because she is truly the best.

Yay, Michelle added her business to Yelp! I cannot say enough good things about Michelle Johnson Photography. She and her hubby photographed our wedding in 2011. We learned of her fantastic services thanks to the Doubletree Hotel in Claremont. Actually, Doubletree had several photographers on their referral list, but it was my hubby who investigated and was impressed enough to say we have to meet this photographer. I am so glad we did! Michelle has a wonderful personality that will completely put you at ease. Her prices are reasonable, and you can even buy the entire event of pics via disc and reproduce however you wish. Hence, I added a couple of our engagement and wedding pics to this review. If we ever have a major life event again, we will definitely seek out Michelle! read more

I truly can't say enough about Michelle.. over a year before our wedding, I spoke with Michelle over the phone and she instantly made me feel comfortable and excited to make her our photographer! She felt like a family member- she was so personable and truly cared about our vision, our family, every aspect of our day. We did an engagement session with Michelle a year before our wedding and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She made us laugh and we just enjoyed our time completely. Fast forward to 2022, Michelle called us for an over an hour phone call to go over the entire day in detail- who we wanted photos with, our timeline, specifics that we absolutely needed as part of our day. Michelle doubled as a wedding planner. On our wedding day, she made sure we stayed on track and kept everything running smoothly! She went above and beyond on our wedding day and we couldn't have been happier. She is such a gem! Last but not least, the photos are spectacular. We are overjoyed and had such a wonderful time going through our 1,600+ (!!!!) photos. If you are getting married and are in search of a photographer, look no further than Michelle! She truly is the best. Thank you so much, Michelle!! read more

I'm guessing since you're looking at reviews for a photographer...there is a major event in your life and you want someone to capture those once in a lifetime moments. Honestly, there's no need to look any further...Michelle Johnson Photography really is as good as it gets. Michelle and Mark (her hubs) were our wedding photographers. We came upon Michelle Johnson Photography as she was one of the preferred vendors for our wedding at Strawberry Farms in Irvine. My hubs and I did meet with a couple of the other vendors but decided to look no further once we met with Michelle. She was extremely personable, yet professional, and also had an amazing wedding portfolio (she isn't just a photographer who happens to do weddings on the side...she is a wedding photographer!). Additionally, she offered a number of photo options, including the option of ownership of your own photos! We opted not to do first look photos, which meant we only had the cocktail hour to do all the wedding party and family photos and photos of just the two of us. But she captured everyone's likeness perfectly and did not miss a beat. She also knew the ins and outs of the property and where and when all the best photo opportunities were. All of the photos were amazing. Words cannot express how glad we were that she was our photographer. Additionally, we utilized her photobooth...which was an actual photoBOOTH (YAY!!). Not like those "photobooth" vendors that put up a PVC fort and a laptop. I would recommend Michelle Johnson Photography without hesitation to any of my friends and family. read more

Michelle is a godsend! We stumbled upon her on accident and so glad we did. She was quick and responsive. She was easy to work with. She was very respectful of COVID rules. She is FANTASTIC with kids. I told her how apprehensive my kids are with photos and she brought them a goodie bag to keep them engaged!! Her turn around time was so quick as well. Honestly, I'm so glad I found her and cannot wait to use her again! read more

Michelle was the first vendor we booked after deciding our venue and date, after talking with her for 10 minutes I knew we had to have her as part of our day. After booking her basically everything else fell into place. She has so much experience, and it's clear she cares about her business and her brides like they were her own. Our first meeting with her in person was to shoot our engagement photos, and she spent so much time getting to know us and what we wanted for our day. Two days before our wedding Michelle also shot family photos for my extended family. Again, she got to know all my siblings and nieces and nephews and felt like she was just part of the family. Our wedding day was perfection - she arrived with her second shooter promptly and got to work on details. As a bride there is so much going on, I didn't know what the ceremony area looked like or if the centerpieces in the reception were right but Michelle captured everything and it's been so great getting to relive our day. She send a sneak peak within days of the wedding, and almost a month to the day she sent the full gallery. I am in awe of how wonderful everything looked and so impressed with Michelle. I cannot wait to book her for every milestone in our lives for years to come. read more
