Michele was and is an amazing person and photographer to work with. Loved the time we spent with her from start to finish. She made my husband and I felt valued and definitely had the energy and delivered the day of. Her and her team captured everything beautifully. She's so creative and so fun to talk to, too! Our friends and family raved about her skills including her dancing skills. (We wanted her to have fun, since she was doing such a phenomenal job taking care of us every minute.) We love the packages and the vision she had. The aesthetic just popped out to me and I always bugged my husband how amazing her work is. I look forward to working with her again and cannot stop saying how much I recommend her to anyone and everyone. I have family wanting her over to other states for their events just because of the skills, vibe and attitude she brings! She's an amazing person to work with and to anyone looking - cannot begin to say how fantabulous and talented she is to work with. Communication is top tier and her skills are amazing. Definitely love her can-do attitude and the vibe she delivered. Amazing photographer. 100/100

Weddings last a day, the memories last a lifetime, but in the end, the only thing you get to take with you, are the photos! (and your spouse)

Wait, are you looking for a photographer right now? DUDE! You should look no further. Why?! Michele is a very competent, organized, cool, creative, fun, delightful, get 'er-done, kinda photographer. As the owner of a small business - she surprisingly is extremely available to answer any questions that you might have. If you haven't discovered that throwing a wedding requires a plethora of decisions, you will! And Michele will be there every step of the way to help guide you, or give you ideas. Michele made it personal with having several get-to-know-you meetings, and tons of questionnaires that help you to organize your ideas, and make them come to life. By the day of your wedding, Michele will be more than a photographer, she will be your friend, and boy will you be glad to see her!
She has an eye for candid shots that brings the moment back to life. She is a flash master and will find the best way to light up any setting. She will make sure you know where to stand, where to look, and where to put your hands. She is funny and easy going. Anything you ask her to take a photo of during the reception, she is on it!
You couldn't ask for more in the whole package that she offers. Well worth the investment. I had a blast working with Michele, and would consider hiring her for future events. 10 stars and to the moon!!!

Michele is the best! We planned an outdoor wedding and it ended up absolutely pouring 97% of the day and she helped us make the most of it and embrace the weather and take some really cool pictures. She had a great attitude and helped us manage the stress of everything becoming pure chaos and our guests loved her just as much as we did! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a fantastic wedding photographer!

Michele was the best decision! She was AMAZING. She felt like a friend from the start and made us feel so comfortable taking photos. She took the most amazing photos for our engagements and then went with the flow when our wedding day timeline got messed up. So many of our friends and family told us how much they loved her after our wedding! She is THE BEST photographer. We will be telling all of our friends and family to use her and will use her for any photography needs we have from now on. Book 1836, you will not regret it!

1836 Photographie has created beautiful images showcasing the wedding trends for 2024. Her POV through the lens is unique, resulting in beautiful one-of-a-kind images. She definitely caught the beauty of my floral designs in her work.

Michelle and her assistant Jessica, we’re beyond amazing. We were a bit behind schedule, but they got every detail and made the party so much more fun! They are so lively, and everyone had a good time with them as well. I love how personal they also got with me and my wife, made sure we were comfortable and got a lot of great poses. We can’t wait to get our wedding pictures back. Definitely will book her for other major pictures as well. Love her and her team!

This review is WAY overdue but I wanted to be sure and write it so that Michele gets all of the props she deserves for the awesome job she did at our wedding. She is so much more than a photographer.

I'm going to start by saying that my wife and I (me more than her) SUCK at taking pictures. We get awkward and weird in front of the camera and have no idea what to do with ourselves. We were genuinely concerned that we would have no good pictures from our wedding because of it.

Not a problem with Michele. Our pictures came out awesome! She stepped right in and told us what to do and how we could avoid any crazy things we were doing in the pictures. And she's so personable while doing it that you forget just how awkward it is to take half a million pictures in a row. She makes it a genuinely enjoyable experience.

Michele is great in so many other ways beyond what she can do behind the lens though. Her professionalism and experience in the moment helped to avoid several awkward and potentially catastrophic incidents that could have easily sent a wedding off course. From pushy parents to fights in the wedding party, she can handle it all.

That same professionalism applies to everything that you do with Michele before the wedding as well. Her planning documents are well thought out and are a real life saver when trying to get some of the big (and little) details pinned down. She is helpful when you don't have specific answers and creative when you have a cool idea you want to execute.

These are just some of the ways she really made our wedding awesome. It's almost impossible to put in words everything that encompasses what she brings to the table when you hire her. She really was the guide that helped direct us through our own wedding. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. And you should too.

Michelle is such a vibrant soul. I have hired her in the past for multiple weddings as a second photographer, and I am always impressed by her creative eye for special details and moments. She's such a fun personality, and I would recommend her to all!
