Shonda Michelson Photography

Hi, I'm Shonda! I am a wedding photographer based in Northern Michigan. I am all about capturing the real emotions and connections of your wedding day. With a focus on small intimate weddings and elopements, my documentary photography style is genuine and authentic, conveying the equality and love between you and your partner. I strive to create images that convey your unique story.

My work conveys a sense of intimacy that is often lost in traditional wedding photography. When I think about planning my own wedding, a big traditional affair causes me to do laps around the anxiety pool. As an introvert, the thought of being the center of attention is uncomfortable, and honestly, quite terrifying. Instead, I (and my future soulmate) want to do things our own way. Just the two of us (maybe a few chosen loved ones) surrounded by Michigan’s everlasting beauty.
