Honestly I don’t even know where to begin! I stumbled across Michele actually on Google! I looked through her pictures, read her reviews and I knew I needed to book her for my big day. This was before I had even talked to her! Just by her work, I knew I wanted her. During our consultation phone call we hit it off. Her personality is one of a kind. And her passion for photography shines through the way she talks. Within the first 5 minutes of our conversation I knew I wanted her even more just based off her personality! I had spoke to a couple other photographers and talking to them was like talking to a robot asking questions, Michele was everything BUT a robot! She asked the same questions as the others but made it so personal. I remember telling her that I was born for the camera and my fiancé was the complete opposite and hated pictures, she said challenge accepted! The place she picked out for our engagement photos was so beautiful and relaxing. She accepted the challenge and blew it out of the park! Working with her was easy, fun and the best first professional photographer experience I could have asked for. From start to finish NOTHING was forced, she encouraged us to be us and she will take care of the rest and boy did she ever! Michele will be your personal hype man the ENTIRE time. If your man hates pictures, I PROMISE Michele is the photographer you NEED in your corner, she will get the shots and not make him completely miserable! I emailed Michele just the other day asking if she could try to get me a couple more to pick from for our wedding cookies…no rush, just in the next couple weeks… next thing I know I got my full gallery back last night and I am over the moon in love with every single picture. My favorite part was scrolling through and remembering the funny stuff Michele was doing, saying, telling us to do ect to get those beautiful pictures and it honestly brought tears to my eyes. She made those silly moments into BEAUTIFUL pictures that I will forever cherish! If she was able to do that for our engagement pictures, I CANNOT WAIT to work with her for our wedding! Don’t wait…. BOOK HER NOW! You won’t be disappointed

Michele McCoy Photography's reply

Dear Ashley, I'm deeply touched by your heartfelt words and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with me. It was such a pleasure to be part of your engagement shoot, and I'm so happy to know that you felt comfortable and enjoyed the moments we captured together. Connecting with you and your fiancé, understanding your dynamics, and ensuring both of you were at ease was my top priority. It’s always wonderful to hear that the joy and spontaneity of our session came through in the photos themselves. Your comment about remembering the funny moments and the little things I did to get the perfect shot brought a big smile to my face. It's those candid moments and genuine laughter that make the most cherished memories. Thank you for entrusting me with such a significant chapter of your love story. I am eagerly looking forward to capturing the magic of your wedding day. Warmly, Michele McCoy Photography

Our entire family is raving about how great Michele’s pictures are! The photo shoot was a lot of fun. She brought out and captured each personality in our 13 member family with her creative posing ideas and suggestions. She’s a natural working with kids; our five grandchildren had a blast! I highly recommend her.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Photography has been my passion and faithful journey since I was a child, beginning with my first disposable camera. This passion has matured over the years into a well-established career. Under the mentorship of an award-winning wedding photographer, I've refined my skills to ensure that each photo I take tells a captivating and personal story. My commitment to every couple is thorough and heartfelt. From detailed preparation before your big day and getting to know your unique story, to immersing myself in the heart of your celebration, my focus is on documenting the essence of your day. It’s all about capturing every emotion in a way that beautifully preserves your memories. As a full-time photographer with a professional studio in Mountain Home, I'm not just limited to weddings. I also shoot engagement sessions, family portraits, boudoir photography, large events, and more. This extensive experience across various photography genres enriches my approach, allowing me to bring a unique and creative perspective to your wedding. A particular area of expertise I have is my proficiency with both on-camera and off-camera flash. This skill enables me to create beautiful, emotional, and creative photographs under any lighting condition, ensuring that the beauty and joy of your wedding are captured in every shot, regardless of the weather or time of day. Ultimately, my education and training in photography encompass more than technical skills. It's about understanding and connecting with my clients, and the experience I've gained as a full-time photographer capturing some of life's most precious moments. From weddings to boudoir, from maternity sessions to newborn portraits, my experience in capturing these moments equips me to document your wedding in a way that creates timeless photos you'll cherish for a lifetime.
