(Formerly known as Michelle Zuniga Photography) My wife and I used Michelle as our wedding photographer in late December of 2007. She was great to work with, had competitive rates, and showed genuine interest and care for saving the events memories digitally. She even included 3 wallet sized photo albums free; one for each of our mothers and one for us. read more

Can I tell you I love Michelle? Well I do. I love her. I started planning our wedding in 2008, and had gone through every photographer I could find on The Knot and Brides. I did google searches. Everything. I hate standard wedding photography. Crap that looks overly posed and nasty. And then I cam across Michelle on the last day I could look for a photographer - my husband, then fiance, said I had until the end of February or we were going with his first choice. I looked through her website, and oh bolly bolly oh my golly! SHE is what I had been searching for. Gorgeous shots of people, nothing overly posed, every shot looking like a dear friend took the picture. They captured the essence of each individual and I felt like I was there, like I understood how the people in the pictures felt. That was all I needed, I sent out an email. Two seconds later, Michelle had responded. Here was a vendor who was used to using technology, she told me I could contact her on gchat and since our schedules were packed we could conference call our first meeting. I nearly cried. The day of the teleconference came. The only question I really had was, do you make any provisions for military, what if my husband got deployed unexpectedly. She reassured me, we would not lose our money, she would hold onto it and reschedule. She also reassured me that she would shoot until every last major event in the wedding was captured. She wouldn't just take off. That was it, we hired her on the spot. We also hired her (for an insanely reasonsable fee - think Crazy Eddy sells electronics) for our engagement shoot. We wanted her to get to know us and vice versa. She was amazing and incredibly fun to work with. We were all geared up for our wedding in 2008 when the worst news came through, my husband was being called up for service early. We had to postpone everything. I was running around contacting vendors, family, bridal party. Trying not to melt down, and when I called Michelle she was so sweet and understanding. When we rescheduled our wedding for late in 2009, I called Michelle. She was so excited to work with us again. And so was I. She is so incredibly professional - Annie and Bill were out of town on the day of my wedding so she asked her friend David Esquire to fill in. I never even knew that there was a problem. She just handled it, like a dream vendor. Again, on the day of the wedding, Michelle was professional as can be. She was there on time, and even tolerated the fact that I didn't get her her shots list until that morning. She was funny and energetic (a difficult feat when it is raining and so cold you can see your breath and it is an outdoor wedding). She was like a ninja, I don't ever remember seeing her, but when she gave me the pictage link to our wedding photos, there were all these amazing shots she had taken. She took these amazing shots of us too, posed me perfectly, hid flaws played up assets. Honestly, I don't think of Michelle as my vendor. I think of her as a friend. Every major photo op I have in life will be shot by her or her studio. Heck I even added her on facebook. If you pass her by for another studio (maybe with the exception of Esquire Photography because David was pretty cool himself) you are a total fool. Studio Z will capture your wedding day exactly as you saw it, exactly as you experienced. And really, isn't that what a photographer is supposed to do? read more

There are not enough words to express how amazingly fabulous Michelle and her team are. From day 1, they impress. They make you feel like you are their number one client, and will do anything to get the best shot! I first saw Studio Z's work at another wedding, and was so impressed by the commitment the photographer's showed to capturing every moment perfectly...I knew there was not another photographer for me. When ever I came upon a wedding hiccup, I reached out to Studio Z, and they were happy to help me with any resources and supplies I needed. Michelle wowed me the day of our wedding by including surprise photocards for our photo booth customized with images from our engagement shoot (such a nice touch!). While on our honeymoon, I was again wowed to see how quickly they were able to upload teaser photos and our photobooth images. Sooo many people at our wedding asked us about the photographers because they too were impressed with Michelle and Bill's professionalism, quality of work and fun style. :) They make you feel comfortable and produce photos that bring out the best in you. Thank you Studio Z for making our wedding day so memorable!!!! read more

Michelle Miller Photography - San Diego Wedding - Event Photography Near Me - La Selva Beach, California

Michelle and Bill are truly amazing. We were married last year in the Fall and are so happy with the photographs. We chose them after having met with two other photographers. We really liked their positive energy, attitude, and ideas. In addition the pictures that they showed us and that we saw on their website were really great. People during our wedding could not stop commenting on how the photographers seemed to be everywhere at once taking shots from amazing vantage points. Once we got a chance to see some of the finished pictures my breath was taken away. They came out so well and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. I recommend Michelle and Bill to all of my friends and I hope that you choose them for your next wedding. You will not be disappointed. R & K Married Fall 2012 San Diego read more

Michelle is a truly amazing photographer. She takes the time to get to know you and becomes a part of the family as she captures your special event. Michelle came highly recommended from dear friends, but she delivered above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. I will truly have memories to last a lifetime! read more

Michelle and Bill are both great!! They photographed both my sister's wedding and my wedding and we were so happy with both. They are great at capturing every small detail of the day. They did not miss one special moment and the photos really capture every feeling. They give you a really good combination of artsy/glamorous photos, and then posed beautiful shots as well. The assortment of different types of photos is great for pleasing everyone in the family! They are also incredibly comfortable to work with and will guide you through the day effortlessly. During the wedding planning process, it's incredibly important to have vendors you can rely on and you definitely get that with Studio Z!! read more

See all

Words can not express how amazing the pictures were of our wedding. Studio Z went above and beyond our expectations giving us over a thousand of the most memorable and beautiful pictures. Do not think twice, Michelle and Bill are the real deal and will not leave you unsatisfied. Highly Recommended! read more

Amazing photos and incredible people! My husband and I had the privilege of working with Michelle and Bill from studio Z for our April wedding and cannot say enough wonderful things about them :) Wedding planning is really stressful but Michelle and Bill made our entire day fun and stress free. Michelle did our engagement shoot and was our point of contact throughout the planning process. She is such a sweetheart and went above and beyond to answer my questions. Our engagement photos were amazing and I am confident our wedding photos will be the same! We already got one back and its gorgeous! Members of my wedding party commented on how easy going they were which made everyone feel comfortable and confident. My husband and I look forward to having them capture all our big moments in life. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Studio Z did my wedding photos 4 years ago and they are AMAZING. Bill & Michelle are not only extremely gifted photographers, but so personable and easy to work with. Our photos turned out beautifully - it was hard to decide which ones to put into frames - they were all SO good! Like something out of a magazine... I also had them do headshots for me and I get tons of compliments on them - from casting directors who look at countless photos every day. My photos make the casting directors do a double-take, which is exactly the edge that I need in my competitive profession. read more

Michelle is so great to work with. Her work is fantastic! She recently photographed our engagement session and wedding. With both events, I simply cannot choose a favorite photo. I love them all! She is so creative and fun to work with. She makes you feel very comfortable. She works so hard and it shows. read more

We were fortunate enough to have Michelle and Bill as our wedding photographers, and they did an amazing job! They were professional and easy to work with, and were so helpful whenever we had a question. They are also incredibly creative and have a knack for capturing unique shots. What really sold us on Studio Z vs. other wedding photographers is the warmth and naturalness that comes through in Michelle and Bill's photographs. We especially liked that none of our photos (even the formal/family portraits) were overly posed, stiff, or contrived. I am so thrilled to have found Studio Z - thanks Michelle & Bill! read more

I have worked with Studio Z for years and highly recommend them for all your photography needs. Extremely professional but more importantly so creative and talented. read more

Lets see, where do I begin... From the moment we met Michelle, it felt like we were meeting a friend. She is incredibly personable and has a smile that lights up the room! Throughout our engagement session she made my husband and I feel so comfortable. Like I said, it was as if we were hanging out with a friend. Michelle and Bill, her partner, are so easy to be around. Not to mention, they are so much fun! We are not models by no means, and they guided us through each step and made us feel so comfortable. They are OUTSTANDING photographers and their photos speak for themselves. We had a few friends say how their photos need to be in magazines. We definitely agree! These are two photographers that you will enjoy being around so much, and their excellence in photography is a huge bonus. I have so much gratitude for them capturing the most important time in our lives. We love Studio Z and they have our business for life! read more

This is by far THE BEST photography studio for weddings, family portraits, etc. The pictures are exquisite! I have used this company numerous times. Michelle is a sweetheart. Warm and personable.

I recommend you do the same. Thank you Studio Z for capturing our life moments. read more
