About Lilac Lens Photography llc

Lilac Lens Photography llc

Owner/Lead Photographer

Hi, I’m Michele—a photographer of 13 years with a heart for families & couples in love. What began as a passion has grown into a deep appreciation for documenting real life as it unfolds, especially on wedding days where emotions, connection, and celebration all collide. I’ve photographed many beautiful weddings, but my favorite one? Tacos for dinner and a coffee bar for the late-night snack—proof that meaningful days don’t have to be traditional to be unforgettable. I believe weddings should feel personal, relaxed, and true to you. Outside of photography, I have a big love for animals, the beach & beautifully curated floral details.

I pride myself on open and honest communication, especially when it comes to pricing, expectations, and how the wedding day flows. My approach is rooted in creating intentional pockets of time where couples can slow down and simply be together—those quiet, in-between moments that often mean the most. I’m always happy to jump in wherever needed on a wedding day—whether that means carrying something, setting up a detail, or coordinating with other vendors to keep things running smoothly. To me, it’s about being more than just your photographer; it’s about being a calming, helpful presence on one of the most important days of your life.

    Photography skills

    Michelle and the team at Lilac Lens Photography were absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Michelle was so awesome and communicative, consistently answering any questions we had in a timely manner. She made the whole process stress-free and ensured that I could truly enjoy my special day. The quality of their work is truly beautiful - my photos are clear, vibrant, and everything I could have wanted. Michelle did an amazing job of capturing all the little moments that made our wedding day so special. I would highly recommend Lilac Lens Photography to any couple looking for an experienced, professional, and talented photography team to document their wedding day.

    The best for capturing our most memorable events!

    Michele has a wonderfully personal communication style, always quick to respond and was incredibly flexible in accommodating our needs. She has an incredible eye for finding the most beautiful, opportunistic moments to capture, like the stunning sunset photos they took of us that have become some of our most cherished memories. Throughout our engagement shoot, home session, and wedding day, Michele and also her partner, Paige, were so talented at posing us in a natural way to get stunning results. They knew exactly which details were important to us and made sure to capture everything we asked for and more. We are absolutely thrilled with the quality and value of Lilac Lens Photography's work, we will stay in touch for future shoots!

Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding and what your needs are. Usually my 4 hour package is just me and my 8 hour package already has a second photographer built in!
Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. My style is to edit skin tones as well- we will talk over this in detail during our meeting because I want you to feel comfortable telling me any issues you want to bring up to me to take into account. This helps me pose you and edit any issues you may want to be sensitive about.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also choose to add on an additional USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so we can find the perfect replacement.
