Hi! I'm Michelle!
california wedding 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.
You deserve a wedding day — and a photographer — where you can simply be yourself.
At GunnShot Photo, your love isn't just accepted — it's celebrated in full, joyful color.
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!
My love for photography has brought me everywhere up and down the coast of California, to the Pacific North West, to the mountains of Yosemite, and to the rivers in Colorado.
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
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.
Radical Inclusivity
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
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 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
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
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.
Connection First
