WORKING WITH MIKKEL

I value my relationship with every couple and each one of my clients. You entrust me to photograph special memories in your life and I, in turn, aim to give you the best experience possible.

It doesn't matter if we're planning your destination wedding, elopement, elaborate luxury event, family session or a styled shoot of any sort. You will receive superior communication, professionalism and delivery every time.

SERVICES

The real magic of what I do is capturing moments that result from the fantastic people I work with. These images are the shining light that make the glitter of my world sparkle.

My galleries will reveal not just the breadth of work I capture but also the vibrant style of my imagery and my attention to detail. I prioritize these things not only in pictures but in life as well.

If there's isn't a gallery for the session you have in mind don't hesitate to reach out; it's likely I've previously captured something similar and can accommodate your request.

I offer a variety of services, like photography for grandiose weddings and for smaller intimate celebrations, including elopements.

I've also captured many proposals and engagement sessions if you'd like to commemorate your love before the big day or you're just starting to explore the next chapter of your lives. I'm pleased to offer my clients top quality albums as well.

Flat lay styling and photography is another specialty, along with travel and lifestyle pictures.

Lastly, I adore photographing family sessions when couples continue growing their family tree.

It's very important that my couples and clients have any questions they may have in their minds answered.

I want everyone to feel at ease and that we're on the same page when we work together; no question is too silly!

My FAQ page is where questions like, "How many images can we expect?" or, "Do you travel for destination weddings?" are answered. Feel free to reach out if you don't see an answer to your question.

I joke that finding the photographer that's right for you is a little like dating. But it's true!

Having the right chemistry - just as you wish for with your friends - can make all the difference in feeling cozy in front of the camera.

It may help break the ice if you know a little more about me, like that I used to work in theme park design, or that I love color. Or how I met my husband with a glimpse into our love story. This, and much more, are revealed on my "about" page.

We can't say more incredible things about Mikkel. She was such a pleasure to work with from the very first phone call. When I called Mikkel, I felt like I was talking to an old friend- she asked questions about my then-fiancé and I, about our relationship and about our wedding. In our vendor search, we wanted to be sure that the people around us on our wedding day were going to put us at ease and enjoy the day as much as we planned to. It was also important for us to have a photographer who could capture our day in an artistic and unobtrusive way.

We booked Mikkel immediately and had no idea at that moment how much of an integral partner in our wedding planning she would be.

Several weeks after speaking to Mikkel, we received an email with a few cute inspiration photos that reminded her of our wedding. This was typical throughout the year. Mikkel stayed in touch and went beyond her role as a photographer, offering ideas and opinions on everything from family photos to wedding shoes! I can honestly say that we found a friend in her.

Aside from Mikkel’s fun personality and incredible work ethic, she takes GORGEOUS photos.

Mikkel is everything you want in a photographer and everything you didn't know you wanted in a photographer, but need.

Things we knew we wanted: someone who was familiar with traveling. Mikkel's portfolio of destination weddings and travel blog was proof that we would be in the hands of someone who was familiar with the climate and had an eye to catch every unique backsplash.

We knew that we wanted someone who could give us guidance (so that we weren't always staring directly at the camera, for example). We knew that we wanted to look natural; Mikkel taking the time to get to know the kind of couple we are gave our photos the direction we wanted. From day one, she was interested in who we were as a couple.

Unless you've planned a wedding before, you were probably unaware of the strategic plan that you need to walk into that special day and include everything you wanted to capture before the sun goes down. Every aspect of the day was thoroughly thought out by Mikkel- I mean everything!

You won't be disappointed: top, top quality and a true delight to work with Mikkel.

Best decision ever was hiring Mikkel! She and her team were absolutely fantastic throughout our entire wedding experience! She made us feel incredibly at ease during our engagement shoot.

Neither of us were naturals at first, but she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and made the process fun and enjoyable. We cannot thank her enough for capturing our wedding day in such wonderful photos.

She somehow managed to capture everything while remaining discreet, not distracting or taking away from the environment. Her work is vibrant, playful, and modern – all that we were looking for in a photographer.

We received all of our engagement photos within about 2 weeks, and our wedding photos within 4 - she was SUPER quick and reliable! The quality is more than we could have hoped for - I was thrilled by how warm and welcoming the photos felt, and how natural we looked! Ordinary objects sprang to life through her artistic eye.

Our friends and family have RAVED about our photos. I cannot thank her enough for capturing our day and all of the beauty, love, and energy that surrounded us. We highly recommend Mikkel Paige Photography. If you choose her, know that you are in very good hands.
