I just want to start by saying, the absolute BEST decision my now husband and I made during our entire wedding planning process.. was hiring Michelle to be our photographer! Every photo is gorgeous and will be our most treasured gifts for the rest of our lives. On top of this, Michelle is just an absolute JOY to work with! She made the entire process easy and stress free, even though we were living and planning from across the country. Our engagement shoot was a blast (we were for real laughing in almost every photo!) and our wedding day was the same! She is professional, always quick to get back to us via email/text, and we sincerely appreciated her keeping us in the loop with updates on the delivery of our final photos. Michelle is forever our girl for any and all professional photography! read more

She is so easy going and made us feel so comfortable. We were able to just play around with her in our own goofy way. The photos from our wedding are truly stunning. We will be able to cherish these photos forever. I cannot recommend Michelle enough to anyone looking for a photographer. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

We had a chance to work together in the end of 2017. Michelle and her team were extremely professional and very easy to work together with. The reason we decided to write this now is because she just finished the album from the wedding we worked together and was willing to share it with us. All we can say is, wowwe wow wow! The photos are better than anyone could ever have imagined. AMAZING We work with lots of photographers all year long and just wanted to give the general public a heads up that this is a great one! Make sure to reach out to them if you need a photography team that will capture your event like no other! read more

Michelle Ramirez Photography - Session Photography Near Me

Finding the perfect person who will tell one of the biggest, most important stories in our life was something we did not take lightly. Immediately after seeing Michelle's work (for the very first time ever) here on Yelp!, we knew without a doubt that she would tell our story in the best way possible. Communicating with Michelle was effortless - she makes herself accessible (email/call/text whenever), responds lightning fast, gives great recommendations, and is frankly just a pleasant person to talk to. This connection was so important for us as we were extremely nervous about being in front of a camera. She made us feel like our authentic selves and we ended up having the best time during our engagement shoot! The big day came and she could not have been more amazing to us and our guests. Her photojournalism style for documenting our wedding night resulted in pictures you can FEEL. We are so grateful to have these memories told through her eyes. For the best in the business, do not look any further. Michelle is the real deal and we absolutely trust her to capture more of life's milestones! read more

What can I say about Michelle? Michelle is absolutely the best of the best. Her style of photography is something my husband and I both adored and appreciated. We fell in love with our engagement photos, she delivered such beautiful photos. She is fun and easy to work with, and truly cares for her clients. If you want amazing photos for your special occasions that you'll love for the rest of your life, Michelle is your girl. read more

Michelle Ramirez Photography - Engagement session - Session Photography Near Me

My husband and I have a bit of a unique story with Michelle that we hold close to our hearts. Michelle photographed our best friend's wedding five years ago. We loved their pictures back then and decided to reach out to her. Lucky for us, she was available for our wedding date! From the moment we signed our contract, Michelle was super helpful and easy to contact! First of all, I love that she includes her engagement photos with her packages. This gave us an opportunity to get to know Michelle and how she worked before our big day. It also allowed us to get any awkwardness out of the way since we have never had pictures taken of us before. We took our engagement pictures in Santa Barbara, but we had to improvise on location because it was right after the mudslides... This did not concern Michelle one bit! We would shoot in a location and then she would see another location that looked cool and we would venture over there. Needless to say, my now husband and I had a BLAST shooting our engagement pictures! Our wedding day was during the heat wave in California and let's just say it was HOT! Michelle went on with the day as if it were a breezy day in Santa Barbara! Our venue was right on State Street, so we got some amazing pictures of my husband and I walking down the street, in front of the Arlington Theater, and even at our first date spot, Ca'Dario's. We couldn't have asked for better pictures from our wedding day! We received our wedding day pictures less than a month after our wedding. When we received our pictures, my husband put our pictures on a slideshow and I literally got so emotional looking at them. I was clapping and cheering when a picture came up that I loved, crying during the intimate and sentimental pictures, and laughing at our silly and candid moments. Michelle went above and beyond and was able to capture the best candid moments of our family and friends. We are forever grateful that we have such amazing pictures that we will forever cherish. My husband and I are already looking for an excuse to have another photoshoot with Michelle because her photography is seriously incredible. Thank you, Michelle, for capturing our special day and also being a fellow dog lover :) read more

If I could give Michelle 1000 stars I would. Since day one she's been amazing. I felt a connection with her, a connection that was solidified over this weekend. Not only is she super professional and talented, but she is real and fun! My husband and I had so much fun during our engagement shoot and wedding. She truly captured who we are. Not once did I feel fake or forced with her. Talking and being around felt natural. She truly loves what she does and it shows. If you meet with her and feel that connection I strongly suggest you work with her. You will not regret it! I hope to work with her again! PS I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. Truly a spectacular photographer/ human being. read more

Michelle Ramirez Photography - Session Photography Near Me

A patient of mine referred Michelle Ramirez to me when I was on the hunt for a wedding photographer in 2017. My husband and I planned a small backyard wedding but did not want to compromise on quality photography. Since our engagement session, Michelle has been nothing but professional and comforting! Her ease, behind the camera and with giving slight direction, can make even the most uncomfortable clients look their best! She is not only a true artist, but now a dear friend. Every time she takes our photos I am so impressed with her work and get a flood of compliments. She is a gem. Thank you as always Michelle! XOXO read more

I hired Michelle to take pictures of my son when he was 3 weeks old. She was so good with him, super patient and she didn't rush us (I kept on having to change his diaper and he wanted to be fed). Overall it was an amazing experience. She has great talent and professionalism. The shots she took were great and I was very pleased with the results. Totally worth the money. read more

Michelle Ramirez Photography - Session Photography Near Me

I was overwhelmed looking through several wedding photographers IG and FB pages. I didn't know what I wanted, until I saw Michelle's work! I knew she was the one!! Lol My fiance (now husband) felt all photographers were the "same". He wanted us to meet with another photographer that was better for "our budget". Well, we met up with the photographer that also did video but it just didn't feel right and my fiancé felt the same. I finally convinced my fiancé to meet with Michelle and he was blown away! Not only is her work amazing she is such a good person. As my fiancé rolled his eyes he once again told me "you were right" lol I was concerned about how my fiancé would do with our engagement session since he's not a big fan of taking pictures. Once again we were both blown away with Michelle. She made us feel comfortable and they turned out beautiful! We received so many compliments On our wedding day we felt like we've known her for years. We got all 1800 pictures of our wedding today and they are to die for! I had to write my first yelp review as I downloaded our wedding pictures lol Thank you again Michelle Love the Cerny's will be contacting you for our pregnancy pictures soon lol read more

Michelle was the photographer for my best friends wedding and let me tell you, she did NOT disappoint! She was able to catch every moment perfectly from beginning to end! I now follow her photography page on Facebook and am blown away by her work. From weddings and engagement photos, to about everything else, she really has a gift! If you're on the fence just check out her Facebook page... The photos speak for themselves! read more

The best photographer ever. I truly feel as if I am a photo snob now thanks to the wonderful shots that Michelle always seem to capture. There are cheaper photographers out there but you can see the price difference in the quality of the photos. Michelle is worth every penny. She's done pictures of my immediate family, another shoot with my mom's side of the family (there was about 60 of us), and she has captured my sister's wedding. If you're looking for a great photographer, you have the right person here. read more
