I am so grateful to have had Michele as our photographer for not only our wedding day but also for our engagement shoot. After falling in love with her airy and romantic film photography, I reached out to her. We clicked from the very first time I spoke with her and she remained accessible through our entire wedding planning process, which I so appreciate. After meeting her in person to do our engagement shoot, my husband and I walked away feeling very comfortable with her and excited to have her shoot our wedding day. I feel like she really went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy and had a positive attitude the entire time (which is so important on your wedding day!). She worked along other vendors seamlessly and did an amazing job capturing incredible portraits of me and my husband, as well as our families, guests, and the details of our wedding we poured countless hours into. She delivered our portraits to us in the promised time frame and we could not be happier with the way they turned out! We will love and cherish them forever! Big thank you to Michele and I absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a photographer! read more

I can't possibly say enough good things about Michele Beckwith and her amazing talent... Michele has done amazing photography for some of my friends, so when my boyfriend and I decided we wanted some 'grown-up' photos of ourselves.. you know, photos absent of beer bottles and random people in the background... we knew we had to ask Michele! Maybe this is just me... but having someone take photos of you is super awkward, even if they are a close friend, but Michele was able to put us at ease and had us laughing from the start. She was even able to wrangle our small dog into posing for the camera! By the end of the day we felt completely comfortable, and it really came across in our photos. Michele clearly has an amazing talent and can make any spot in the city look whimsical and completely unique. While Crissy Field might be one of the most cliche photo spots in the city, it has a lot of meaning to my boyfriend and me and we knew we wanted some of our photos done there. Michele did a great job of capturing the essence of Crissy field (beachy, casual, relaxing) while making it feel like we were in our own world. She also found some photo spots less than a block from our front door that we had never noticed before! I hopefully have a wedding in my future (hear that, boyfriend?) and I will not hesitate to call Michele the day of my engagement and snap her up for my big day! read more

If you are searching for an incredibly talented, kind-hearted, and hard working floral designer, look no further than Michele Beckwith! We had the pleasure of having her design our wedding in San Diego this spring and we could not have asked for a more beautiful day! Michele drew inspiration both the images I shared with her as well as our venue, creating Mediterranean themed arrangements complete with artichokes and grapes! Her simple yet elegant work completely aligned with my more minimal style while still impressing all of our guests. Michele worked SO hard the day of the wedding, making up for some of our other vendor's shortfalls to make sure that the wedding was everything that we dreamed it could be! I could not imagine working with anyone else on such an important day. read more

So, I got married two and a half years ago, but it's never too late to lavish thanks and praise, right?! My partner and I love Michele so much. We met her years ago when she shot the wedding of some dear friends, the groom got ready with his groom-al party at our house and we were struck by how sweet Michele was and how great she made our house look! :P A couple years later we went to her when we were finally getting married and she was so kind -- we are both teachers and were paying for our wedding ourselves, and she was very gracious. I feel so, so lucky that she shot our wedding. When she showed up she had a second shooter (an awesome surprise to us), was SO calm and kind and helped sooth our very, very anxious nerves. We got married at Briones Regional Park, over brunch, in the woods and she honored that with utterly gorgeous photos that really celebrated our location. One of her photos from the hora is blown up large on our wall and I feel thankful every day for the gift that she gave us. She's the best! read more

Michele was the only photographer we met with for our wedding. She has a very sweet personality and great response time. She listed to what I want even when it meant only having a short period of time after the wedding to shoot my husband and I with our families. We opted not to do a first look either so I understand that we didn't get all the creative shots that could have been done with an extra hours time. I loved the pictures that she was able to take during that time. We booked over a year before our wedding so her prices and style changed quite a bit between the time we booked and the time of our wedding. I do love our album style and we do have some great photos but I also feel like I booked her for her old style (some shift tilt shots and lots of saturated colors) and got something a bit bland between her old style and new style (which is beautiful) that left me feeling a bit let down. I'm torn on whether we would book her or not if I could go back due to wanting a specific style of photography/editing but I love looking though our wedding album and she got many special moments and gorgeous shots. I would recommend her based on her follow through, flexibility, reliability, and great personality. read more

Michele is my hero! My photographer got our wedding date mixed up and was a couple of hours late. She called Michele to rush over to capture some getting-ready photos. Michele showed up in the midst of our morning chaos with a calm demeanor and friendly attitude. She even helped me tie my wedding sash, and buttoned the millions of back-buttons on my wedding dress. She was so sweet and lovely to work with. Just look through her portfolio. It's easy to see she's one talented lady. read more

Michele is a total rockstar! From the moment we met her at a little coffee shop in Pac Heights to discuss her work, we instantly loved her! She is the sweetest person and makes you feel so comfortable. My husband and I were very tentative about taking engagment pictures as they always seemed so awkward to us. Michele was such a trooper and helped us realize that engagement pictures are a great trial run for the BIG day (ie figuring out what you like and don't like!). On the day of the engagement shoot, she made everything relaxed and fun! And as it turns out, we loved the pictures she captured of us! We were married in SF last month and again cannot say enough great things about Michele! While we are still anxiously awaiting our final wedding pics we know they are going to be great! Though the wedding festivities were a total blur, Michele and her assistant were great, lessening the stress and anxiety all along the way. We loved having a few moments to ourselves with the photographers before the ceremony, especially racing across the city to the church seated in Michele's backseat :) My family and friends are still raving about the fact that she was out dancing with us towards the end of the night! Seriously- so great! Michele is a class act with more talent than you can imagine! Her creativity and zeal for what she does is infectious! We loved everything about working with her and recommend her to anyone who wants to step a bit out of the traditional box and have their love and lives captured beautifully!!! read more

Michele was the photographer for our wedding and she was amazing! We chose Michele after looking over her blog - every shot was gorgeous, she obviously had an incredible ability to make her clients look amazing. After reviewing several other photographers and their websites, Michele really differentiated herself through her photos; her's were the best and we were sold! We chose a wedding package that Included an engagement session, which was so much fun! Michele had some great ideas for amazingly picturesque locations and she really set the tone for us. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera that we hardly noticed her taking our pictures. I always feel uncomfortable being the focus for the camera, but she really made us feel at ease and I have never looked so good in my life as I did in these photos! She made us feel glamourous and gorgeous. She has such an amazing eye for the perfect shot and has an incredible artistic sensibility. Her editing on our engagement shots were incredible. Michele was amazing at our wedding, easy to work, professional but personable, flexible, and she took charge of the family for our group photos (and that definitely isn't easy!). She captured so many personal special moments, Our friends and family still rave about our photos from the wedding and the engagement session. read more

Michele photographed both our engagement session and wedding day, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Michele has got to be the best value in the Bay Area (our wedding was up in Napa). Her prices were incredibly fair and reasonable, especially considering the incredible caliber of photography we got in return. She has a wonderful sense of artistry and a clear passion for her craft, and it radiates throughout her work. Definitely check out her website - the proof is in her portfolio. Then ask to meet up with her or talk over the phone, and you'll see how easy she is to get along with. That comfort level is so important, and I think you'll be thankfully relieved within a couple of minutes chatting with Michele. I went to 7 weddings last year (ours included), and seeing the wide range of photographers present at those weddings, it's clear that Michele is in a league of her own. She has the perfect amount of control (it particularly shone through dealing with family members and the wedding party for group shots) - not too timid and not too bossy. She had the experience to capture the smallest details (a tear running down my Mom's cheek during our dance together), and she effortlessly led the biggest productions like a pro (an overhead shot featuring all 100 guests in the courtyard). Heck, she even orchestrated a photo booth in one of the wine cellars! At the end of it all, we got over a thousand beautiful photos that really commemorated the day perfectly. Not a moment was missed, and everything was colorful and clear. Michele was perfect for us, and we now consider her a good friend - we even went out for sushi together a while back! Highly recommended. read more

I met Michelle about a week ago, and her style as a person is just as exceptional as her artwork. Seeing her work for the first time on her facebook page as well as her blog, I was litterally stunned by her art photography. Equally stunning is how she manages to capture all the delicate and heartfelt nuances and idiosyncracies of weddings and engagements. Having been privy to other styles of wedding photography, I can say hands down that Michele's style is what I personally most gravitate to, and it happened almost instantly when I began viewing samples of her prior engagements. The initial thought that ran through my mind was "You've got to be kidding .... she can't really be this good." Actually, she is. I thought I might be viewing professional pieces from a magazine such as Bride & Groom or InStyle -- and yet, Michele's artistry seems to rise above any stereotypying or set wedding genre photography. It has genuine heart and soul and a true personal touch. Oh, and did I mention she has an uncanny ability to make humor come alive on film ?? On top of that, she is easy to meet and extremely personable. I am hoping to convince my friends to hire her for their Wedding after they get back from Chile to the Bay. AND she would be at the top of my list for my own wedding (IF she's not booked, whenever that will be ....). read more

I've had the pleasure of having Michelle photograph my growing family repeatedly over the last 5 years. Her work has an ethereal quality to it. The results are timeless photographs which are true works of art that hold esteemed places along the hallways of my home and in my heart. She creatively considers all details of the physical setting of the shoot, background, lighting, clothing, and other special effects to tie into a story which exudes love, romance, and happiness. read more

Michele Beckwith was my engagement/wedding photographer. I can't say enough about my experience working with Michele! She is an amazingly talented, bright spirited person who gave me the pictures I had always envisioned for my wedding. As an artist myself I had dreams of very artistically edited photos that stood out from the average "Sears Portrait" look. Well Michele's work is far from average! I found Michele through some friends of mine who's wedding she had done the previous year and after seeing their photo's I was in love! I knew I had to have her but budget was an issue for us. I had gone to all of the bridal shows and looked at dozens of other photographers work and prices but nothing measured up for me to Michele's unique style. I thought for sure her prices were going to be expensive due to the quality of her work but her packages were actually LOWER than all the rest! It was a dream come true! The day of my wedding, Michele and her team were there bright and early to capture all of the action. My husband hates pictures and somehow Michele worked her charm to get the most beautiful pictures of him and his boys doin' their thing! I ended up with 1350 pictures and every single one is amazing, LITERALLY! It's funny because I don't even remember seeing her and her team besides the occassional check in when she would calmly ask me "How are you? Do you need anything?" with a warm smile on her face. Little did I know that behind the scenes she was touch and assertive to get all the shots she knew I would want! That's the way it should be! I have had multiple people tell me that my pictures look like they could be in Bride Magazine, and that's the way I felt...like a model! She has a way of turning you into a piece of art! Thank you so much Michele for giving me such beautiful memories! You are incredibly talented; I just can't say enough about you! read more

Michele was recommended to us by our original photographer when he found out he wouldn't be able to make our wedding. After looking at her blog we really wanted to meet and make sure she was the right fit for us. She was great and definitely took away the anxiety of the last minute change. Just by talking with her for a few minutes you can see how much she loves photography which is exactly what we were looking for. Her prices were great so we couldn't book her fast enough. Our engagement pictures came out even better than we expected with bright colors and unique poses. She embraced how silly my husband and I can be and made it come out through the photographs without looking cheesy. She made us both so comfortable in front of the camera. For the wedding we got so many great shots and photographs that we love going back through them and reliving all of the special moments that meant so much to us. She made an extremely camera shy ring bearer and flower girl comfortable taking pictures and even smiling a couple of times. The best part was that she was so fast taking our formal shots we were able to spend more time taking artist shots and partying at the reception. I have gotten so many compliments on the artistic shots she took of us. She took an open field filled with weeds and turned it into the perfect backdrop for some of the most beautiful photographs I have ever seen. The best part is that you can see in the pictures that all my husband and I were thinking at the time was how happy we were to be married. At the reception she was on the dance floor looking like she was having the best time and getting some amazing shots of our guests. She set up a laptop in the lounge so before we even cut the cake people were coming up and telling us how much they loved the pictures. I have gotten nothing but compliments about how great she was and how great the pictures are. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Michele was the photographer at my sister wedding in April and let me tell you she is phenomenal!!! As a replacement for the original photographer who was unable to attend she stepped right in and worked her magic immediately. The engagement shoot with my sister and brother in-law was full of color, life and love! As we girls got ready for the big day, Michele was there quietly snapping away but capturing those special moments. Her kind and gentle demeanor was enough to put even our shy attendants at ease. The formal shots were quick and efficient which made plenty of time for the ever popular *epic* shots! It was truly amazing how she could turn a small field of weeds into the most spectacular backdrop! The love that she captured between those two is beautifully on display and a memory that will last a lifetime! Michele is a super talent and her assistants were amazing as well! I promise that you will not be disappointed! Michele is well worth it! read more

Michele is simply spectacular. I was planning our Bay Area wedding in only 3 months, with me in Boston and my husband Floyd in Ft. Lewis, WA. We were on a super tight budget, but one thing I really wanted was an incredible photographer to capture all the moments of our wedding that would otherwise go forgotten or unnoticed. We were looking for someone with a photojournalistic style, and while I found many good ones, most weren't within our budget, and quite a few lacked good customer service, which Michele excels in. I serendipitously found Michele through a Yelp review for the catering company (Toast Catering) we decided to use. The reviewer listed her as one of his recommendations, and once I clicked on the link to her blog, I was in awe. At the time, her most recent blog entry was for a wedding in Atlanta, GA (yes, she travels!) and I fell in love with her work starting with the first photo posted. After contacting her, she set up a phone date right away and by the time the call ended I felt instant chemistry. I didn't want to feel uncomfortable with our photographer come the wedding day, but with Michele it was like talking to an old friend. She asked a few questions to get to know me and even gushed about our engagement story, which assured me that she cares about connecting with her clients. We were lucky enough to have the beautiful Nestldown as our reception venue, and knowing how prized the location is, I didn't want to pick just any photographer. I knew Michele was talented but fairly new so I figured her portfolio could use some beefing up. When I emailed Floyd a list of photographers, he agreed that she was the best...but still expensive. It took a bit of convincing for Floyd to realize how good of a deal she was, but I fought for Michele and in the end we got her and couldn't have made a better decision. A month after receiving our photos (nearly 1700 of them, 250+ artistically edited, released within 6 weeks!), Floyd still mentions at least once every few days how awesome Michele, the photos, and the price all were. For the quality of work and service Michele provides, her collections are very reasonably priced, and even customizable based on your needs. One thing that really sold me was that the wedding album was already included in the package, which doesn't seem too common nowadays. The assistant and 2nd shooter was also already included. We had Michele for basically the whole day, from getting ready in the late morning to our grand exit in the evening. I definitely recommend the all-day coverage to get the whole wedding story photographed, as well as doing a "first look". Floyd and I are pretty traditional but the whole "not until the bride walks down the aisle" thing was one tradition I'm so glad we broke. The candids that came out from our private time together were so genuine and our emotions were captured so well. Michele is a "first look" advocate but wasn't at all pushy about it. If you look at her blog you'll see for yourself that many couples chose this option and came out with beautiful moments captured. I addressed a few minor concerns with Michele over emails and in person, and she was always very gracious and mindful, yet clearly knew what she was doing. When I met her the week before the wedding (she drove all the way to the East Bay after her day job in SF!), she mentioned that she's all about capturing emotions. This couldn't be any more true. Prior to the wedding, I was all about the details, but once I saw the photos, I loved the candids she caught of our guests throughout the day, especially on the dance floor. Everyone looked like they had so much fun! Her style has evolved and emotional candids have indubitably become her forte. Also, although I like the whole tilt-shift trend, I'm not so big a fan of the technique on wedding photos; I was worried ours would look more trendy than timeless. I expressed my concern since I noticed she uses it in some of her photos to get that "film" look and feel, and I was surprised she basically avoided it altogether without compromising her unique style. With no formal training (she'll attend Academy of Art in SF soon) and only a few workshops under her belt, Michele is a natural talent. She has impeccable ninja skills for catching 10 facial expressions within 3 seconds. She knows how to work lighting to her advantage. She's super patient with relatives during those dreaded formal portraits. Floyd mentioned during our "first look" that she has a way of instilling confidence, since both of us felt oh so awkward in front of the camera and time/distance didn't allow us to practice during an engagement shoot. She is also very timely, prepared, professional, accommodating, driven, sweet, modest, and spunky, especially in her emails. There is just so many good things to say about her. The only bad thing I'd say is that we didn't get to work with her long enough! We're now designing our photo album and we can't wait for the result! read more

Michele did our wedding photos and she was great! She was so good at making us feel special and getting us to relax in front of the camera. (My honey and I are not used to having a huge camera lense pointed at us while we kiss.) We had an engagement photo session a few months before the wedding at coit tower and China Beach in San Francisco. The photos were beautiful. The wedding photos were even more beautiful. She and her assistant came all the way up to San Francisco again for the event. My favorite thing about her: I've been to weddings where the photographer gets in the way and gets up in people's business, but Michele let people do their thing and crept around unnoticed. She was VERY good at candid shots. I would say that she is at her best in that style. read more

If you are considering hiring Michele as your wedding photographer, BEWARE!!! Beware for so many reasons!!! I wish when I hired her that there had been a realistic review like this that would have saved me a ridiculous amount of money, time in chasing her for our photos and album, and lost sleep from regretting paying her so much money for a poor job. Did you interview her already? Did she show you the beautiful box of "cotton prints" that age better and show her film portraits better? Because she does send you a nice box but of cheap, Costco-quality prints. There is no difference in paper, you receive the same thing you could order from any one-hour photo. Next, after our wedding, we were sent an email to "put on your patience cap" it will take 14-16 weeks to see any photos from your event. HA! We literally did not see a second sneak-preview wedding shot until she sent us our digital album literally SIX months after our wedding. No exaggeration! Wedding album? Do you want that within your first year of marriage, because put on a patience cap again... I have been married for a year and a half, had a child and just received our album; Which she did upgrade to a larger album to make up for the delay of receiving our photos. This was a kind gesture, but what does one need a foot-wide album for? The only reason we got the album when we did was when my husband had to get involved and when she said it would be shipped, she was proud of herself for getting it in time to us for Valentine's Day. Mind you, this is our SECOND Valentine's Day since being married. After looking at the album, it's quality is sub-par. One image wash out a groomsman's face. Another image of our full wedding party cut a WHOLE BRIDESMAID OUT. Other pages have two images stacked on top of each other in the center fold of the page!!! Why wouldn't she place them so the image of my husband and I are not in the crease? As an "artist" she clearly has no attention to detail. What makes me sick about the timeframe all of this took was her way of handling it. She NEVER followed up the next day she was "in the office" as she said she would, it always took ME, the paying customer reaching out to her. Her responses would always be something like, "this life thing is so crazy! I've been at my moms house since my floors are being replaced at my house!" Or "owning a business and having kids is tough!" Well, I am a business owner who now has a kid and I know that you should bite off what you can chew. Being a mother does not excuse you from common courtesy, respecting your clients' time and money, or from saying, "no, this is too much for me, why don't you go with another photographer?" Also, while you are waiting to hear back from her or get anything, she's posting photos of new events she is capturing on Instagram! For almost $10,000 I would have thought that the service rendered would have been more reliable and pleasant. This was a nightmare and honestly, her photography skills were nowhere near the headache. Getting married and planning the wedding of your dreams takes enough effort, don't compound it with someone who does not care about your own excitement. read more

Michele is simply an AMAZING photographer, not only shooting digital, but film photography as well. We found Michele through a mutual friend who had her photograph their wedding, and after seeing her photos, I knew we needed to book her for our own wedding. We met Michele for the first time when we were doing our walk-through at our wedding venue, and her calm nature and confidence made us feel great about our choice in photographer, and we were blown away by her skills and personality. From the beginning through to the end she offered endless support, advice and guidance, with a side of humor! On the day itself we felt in safe hands and it was like having our friend there with us! Her experience and professionalism shined through, allowing us to relax and have the best time without worrying about how our photos would turn out! We got our photos and we couldn't be more happier with the results! Michele is seriously talented and genuinely loves what she does! If you're thinking about booking her for your photos, DO IT!!! You won't be disappointed! She captured memories we will cherish forever, in a classic fashion that will always be beautiful and in-style read more

I found Michele Beckwith's photos when I was doing an image search for pictures of the Trocadero Clubhouse in Stern Grove. We were planning a wedding there and my wife and I got really excited about asking Michele to be our photographer. To make a long story short, she did the best job ever. She was really fun to work with and did a great job, beautiful images, really top notch, inventive and fun. I can't say enough good things about Michele, or the results. Hire her, and you will not be disappointed. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better experience than working with Michele. Our photo session with her was fun, spontaneous, and laid back. Yet, the end product of this afternoon of fun was a huge portfolio of stunningly beautiful, professional, and unique photos. She struck the perfect balance by offering suggestions while also listening to our preferences. In the end, we found the perfect locations and some really creative setups for dazzling photos that I will cherish forever. My (then) boyfriend and I did a portrait session (just wanting some photos where one of us is not holding the camera). When we posted them, we were bombarded with congratulations because everyone was struck by our gorgeous "engagement pictures". A few weeks later, that became a reality and we knew immediately who we wanted to hire as our wedding photographer! Michele offers the complete package: helpful guidelines in setting up location/wardrobe/makeup/etc., a highly enjoyable shooting experience, polished and professional final photographs, and a personalized experience that will make you want to come back for all of your future photo needs. I am running out of ways to say how happy I was with my experience with Michele! It is rare to find a strong talent coupled with such a kind and wonderful personality. She is sure to make your photos spectacular and your experience fun and memorable. Thank you, Michele! read more

Michele is wonderful. She took portrait photographs for me because I needed headshots for use online and in publications. She has a great eye and being around her is a joy. She made me feel really comfortable and natural during our shoot and the photos turned out beautifully! read more

Michele is simply a master of the tilt-shift lens. What in the hands of mere mortals makes people look like toys makes the sun a little brighter and the scenery more beautiful when Michele is at work. The care and attention doesn't end there: the photos themselves turn out so nice it's hard not to print them all. read more

Michele was phenomenal. She made the entire experience from start to finish feel completely natural and even fun! She is professional, responsible, and a wonderful photographer. I was needing a headshot for a new professional website I was launching and wanted a special photo that would stand out from the staid studio shots out there. She was willing to shoot outdoors with me, which was a huge plus, and made me feel completely at ease in front of the camera. I was entirely satisfied with the final results! The photos nicely captured the "feel "I was going for and have truly made my website everything I was hoping for. Thanks Michele! read more

Michele was incredible from beginning to end! From the detailed communication leading up to our big day to the hand crafted package we received after. She took so much care and love of capturing our engagement and wedding. I will forever be grateful! Money well spent! read more

Michele was a pleasure to work with. From the first evening that we met with her to discuss choosing her as our photographer, she radiated energy that helped get us even more excited for our wedding. She is very detail-oriented and does a great job at making you feel comfortable. She even took the initiative to scope out our wedding location without us asking! She's also got a lot of wedding experience, so she can answer the most random of wedding questions :) I love her photo journalistic style capturing the various moments through out the day. She is incredibly sweet and was very responsive to all our inquiries. Our favorite moment was when we went out for pictures after the wedding. We really wanted pictures outside, but the weather was sporadically raining and snowing. Michele weathered the rain, snow, and traffic to get us the pictures we wanted. Thank you Michele! read more

Michele photographed our son's Bar Mitzvah party. As experienced photographers ourselves, we have high standards, and we were quite impressed with Michele's work. She and her assistant were omnipresent but not intrusive, catching all the key moments for us to remember. Michele used the combination of party lights and flash to full advantage, and took some nice artistic shots of the scene as well. The digital files arrived promptly and were very professionally edited and presented. In short, Michele is personable, competent, easy to work with, and delivers outstanding value for what she charges. read more

Michele Beckwith is not only amazingly talented, but easy to talk to, great to work with and will bend over backward for you, sometimes even literally...I mean, I think she might have actually bent over backward physically while taking our wedding photos, thats how serious she works! Words cannot describe how wonderful our pictures turned out, you need to go to her blog and website to see for yourself! Her work came back flawlessly and exactly what we wanted even through all the time crunch a wedding day entails! Thank you Michele for being a photo genius! read more

Michele photographed our wedding and reception in Stern Grove, San Francisco in 2010. We couldn't have been happier with how the photos turned out. She used the natural light well and captured so many beautiful candid shots of our family and friends. In addition, she was so kind and personable, which made us feel very comfortable. She is also reasonably priced, organized, professional and works in a timely manner. We received DVDs with files of all of the photos in less than 6 weeks after the wedding. We couldn't have asked for anything more. read more
