Where Bold Celebrations Meet An Unmatched Experience 

about brooke michelle

I’m the photographer who reads a room, hypes the hell out of it, and still nails every shot you didn’t even see coming. You get to live the day, crowd-surf the dance floor, and forget about the camera because after 200+ wedding days, my instincts on what’s about to go down are unmatched. No stiff poses. No cookie-cutter galleries. Just bold, true-to-color images that hit you right in the feels every time you look at them.

I’ve been chasing a good time (and even better stories) since I talked my parents into buying me a Sam’s Club camera “to prove I meant business” back in (2010 ) One year later, I launched Brooke Michelle Photography the summer before my senior year—armed with a vintage Kodak, a cheer-captain voice, and zero chill when it comes to celebrating people.

What started with senior sessions also turned into a deep love for wedding days, because that’s the energy I thrive off of: family formals I can wrangle in minutes, champagne pops that go rogue are the vibe, and grandma throwing her hands up to Flo Rida is a moment I live for. 

A decade in, I still bring that same hype-girl spirit that’s now backed by professional intuition, timeline savvy skills, and an eye for the tiny moments everyone else misses that you can’t afford to forget.

My Goals

Whether we work together to capture your wedding vibes or to celebrate a new chapter in your life ( looking at you, seniors! ),
here’s my promise to you: 

Streamlined 

Personality 

Non-traditional 

With 200+ weddings under my belt and hundreds of sessions, I know how to not only ensure we get the photos you want but keep your time in front of the camera streamlined and efficient. Trust me, you won't have time to get bored!

I infuse my personality into everything I do, which means your session is guaranteed to be fun, laid-back, and create a space where your main-character energy can be unlocked and thrive! 

If you are looking for a photographer who keeps up with trends, is all about skipping traditions, and focusing on what feels natural and aligned with you - Hi, I’m your girl! You’ll get those viby memories, but I will also snag those timeless shots your mom and grandma will print for the mantle. 

My (now fiancé) and I are awkward AF in front of the camera, and she made us feel completely comfortable..and it really shows in the photos. Every single shot feels authentic, romantic, and beautifully captured. The attention to detail!! The editing!! The lighting!! Everything is flawless. She truly has an eye for capturing candid moments that feel real and meaningful. We’ve gotten so many compliments on our engagement photos, and we’ll treasure them forever.

to be seen is to be loved

Florida transplant

As a girl from a small farm town in Maryland, I always dreamed of leaving my hometown and living by the beach. Lucky for me, the decision was easy, I fell in love not just with the color, the weather, and the people, but also began my own love story here.

Hunter Stewart

The story goes: girl flies to Florida for work, swipes on Bumble and the rest is history. Our journey is unconventional in all the best ways, inspired by the bold leaps my clients have taught me to take in love and life. Lucky for me, one of those leaps led to a fiancé in under 10 months.

The Anti-College gal

My love for photography began at an early age, and I launched my business during my senior year of high school. What started as a one-way ticket out of college quickly became something much bigger. I realized this is what I was meant to do. My personality shines brightest when I’m capturing people in their boldest, most authentic light.
