Hi! I'm Michelle Gunn!
Fresno Photographer
(She/ Her)
I'm a hybrid digital + film photographer, a timeline wizard, an officiant, and a fierce advocate for couples who are creating their own kind of magic.
Your Story, in Every Chapter
Based in Fresno, California — living and breathing the valley’s unique light, seasons, and surroundings. As your Fresno photographer, I’ve captured love stories at city rooftops, garden venues, and local landmarks (Woodward Park, Tower District, Fresno State, Shinzen Gardens). I love knowing the best times of day for golden light around Fresno and planning shoots around seasonal bloom
When my wife and I were engayged and looking for a photographer who embraced the LGBTQ+ community, we couldn't find any local photographers. I thought to myself, I can be the queer vendor we had been looking for. I can be the LGBTQ+ photographer to help capture these incredible moments.
Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images of you and the world as you two see it. Even with it's ups and downs, your life, your story, are beautiful. I can't wait to create images to show that!
While I travel for destination weddings, my heart and home is in Fresno, California — so whether your wedding is in Clovis, Sanger, Madera, or in Yosemite, I bring that same intimate, grounded Fresno photographer care and perspective
Each and every wedding brings me a wave of excitement that is unmatched.
I can’t wait to get to know you, hear your love story, and help bring your wedding photography dreams to life!
Let's Savor the moment together
GSP Core Values
You deserve to be fully present on your day. That’s why I help with planning, timelines, and all the little logistics — so you can breathe easy and savor every second.
Support and Ease
Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It's a celebration of your connection, your history, your future. I’m here to help you live it fully — not perform it.
Presence Over Performance
When photographing queer love, we are changing the world — one joyful frame at a time. Your story matters. It deserves to be witnessed with care, respect, and celebration.
Representation is Revolutionary
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime story. I capture it in vibrant color and rich emotion, with a blend of digital and 35mm film for images that feel timeless and true.
Joyful Storytelling
Love is love, period. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I create safe, affirming spaces for every kind of love story — especially those that have fought for their right to be seen.
Intentionally Inclusivity
Photos are personal. I take time to build trust, so when the day comes, you feel like you're being photographed by a friend — not a stranger.

Over 8 years experience as a wedding photographer
Fresno has totally won me over. Nestled in the Central Valley, it's got a delightful combination of warmth, diversity, and that small-town charm where everyone knows someone who knows someone else. And the best part? It's just a couple of hours from majestic Yosemite National Park, which means you can transport yourself to another world to say “I do” beneath granite cliffs and soaring pines.
This city has some hidden treasures when it comes to weddings. From the tranquil water views at Wolf Lakes Park, to the charm of Evanelle Vineyard, to the garden wonders of Starlight Grove, there are options for every kind of love story here. And I am so thrilled to be able to work with the couples who choose the Central Valley to celebrate their day. It's grounded, beautiful, and brimming with heart.
