About Michelle Zapanta Photography
Michelle Zapanta
What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!
I believe putting my clients' best interest first has been my strongest suit. I always want to make sure that my clients are comfortable and most of all, having fun during a session! If they would like to showcase their personalities/stories whether through specific locations, outfits and/or activities, I'm game! If they want to bring their pets to be part of the session, sure! I always try to be flexible to ensure I can accommodate their needs. Lastly, I'm super trigger-happy! I always want to make sure I capture as many memories as I can for my clients because out of the craziness of a wedding, they may not see and witness everything!

Truly Amazing!
Words cannot describe how amazing Michelle and her team are. I booked her for my wedding and am just stunned by the photos I received back! She always put me first and led me through the entire wedding photography process. She also helped create my wedding day timeline and was extremely organized. She went out of her way to accommadate me and my fiance. Her photographs are bright, crisp, colorful and creative and I would not hesitate to book Michelle and her team again! I can honestly say that she helped make my wedding day and the whole wedding planning experience infinitely better and was a key part to having an amzing wedding!
Best Photographer hands down!
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.
Professional and High Quality Photographer!
Michelle went above and beyond to make our day amazing. She was on top of all the photography timelines and questions throughout the entire planning process and especially the day of the wedding. Michelle will make you feel comfortable even if you are not great at posing or taking pictures. She is very professional and responsive throughout the entire process and will help tailor to whatever requests you have. The pictures turned out amazing and she lets you save down all her photos without an extra charge. I highly recommend her as your photographer!
Wedding photography review
We are so glad that we hired Michelle to be our wedding photographer. We are so happy with how the photos came out - I can’t believe how good they look! It was also impressive how quickly we received the album - she sent us our full gallery 15 days after the wedding. Not only are we impressed with the photos, but Michelle and her assistants were great to work with on the wedding day. They were all kind and were a calming presence in the midst of a big day for us. Also, Michelle was always responsive and helpful before and after our wedding. I realized after that I forgot to include a clutch made from my grandma and mom’s wedding dress in our detail shots, and she made the effort to come by after the wedding to photograph the clutch so it would make it into our gallery. Hire Michelle, you won’t regret it!
