Hello and welcome – I'm Michelle Whitley, wedding and portrait photographer documenting love and families on film throughout Washington DC, Maryland, and North Virginia. I specialize in telling life's greatest stories as they authentically unfold through timeless and curated photography. By utilizing a refined hands-on approach inspired by nature, romance, and history, I'm able to bring about genuine expressions, emotions, and movements from my subjects, all of which aid in transforming each of my images into a unique and exquisite work of art.

I believe marriage is a gift. Underneath each layer of a wedding day is where you'll find the precious values of joy, love, and family. It's not about the dress, the shoes, or the jewelry. It's about the two of you as husband and wife, beginning your journey in marriage and preparing an entirely new chapter as one - as family. At the end of the night when the music stops, friends and family go home, and your shoes come off, you're left with your spouse, your rings, and your cherished memories. You deserve to have these moments to remember.
