Michelle von Geis

Being a Second Wedding Photographer is something I truly love! I enjoy assisting the main photographer and ensuring they have as smooth of a wedding day as possible, while also adding quality variety photos to the couple's gallery. I use a Canon R6 mirrorless camera and I also do film photography!

Summer Simmons Photo & Film

I highly recommend Michelle as a second shooter for weddings. She’s photographed countless weddings alongside me and consistently proves to be an incredible asset on wedding days. Michelle has an amazing ability to anticipate what’s needed before I even ask—she’s always one step ahead, which brings so much ease and efficiency to the day. She’s also extremely helpful, communicative, and fully present from start to finish. If you’re looking for someone dependable, talented, and a true team player!
