About Shonda Michelson Photography

Shonda Michelson

Photographer

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.

    Shonda is absolutely unparalleled in the industry. Neither my husband nor I are typically comfortable in front of the camera, but Shonda did an incredible job putting us at ease through her approach of encouraging connection and focus on each other, rather than being rigidly posed. She captured our love in an authentic way that felt intimate and unique, which is essential for what I'd say is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day. She was organized, thoughtful, and thorough at every point in the process, and can make a wedding at any venue feel special and snazzy. We HIGHLY recommend her to any future couples!
