The Signature Michellia Experience

for discerned clients who appreciate the finer things in life

I. “Every Frame A Painting”

Our team brings a refined designer background to everything we document, focusing on luxury details & portraiture with an editorial, fine art, and European-inspired flair. We aim to make every capture as heirloom-worthy as a museum painting, and our work is tailored to match the tastes and expectations of the clients who appreciate the finer things in life.

II. Consistency & Reliability

We pride on ourselves for consistently providing a timeless, fine art shooting & editing style. We spend hours on prepping, scouting locations, and collecting clients’ preferences months before the coverage day begins. Our editing is never outsourced and each wedding deliverable goes through 100+ hours of fining tuning.

III. Professionalism in Dynamic Situations

With extensive experience in documenting high-profile events at many luxury venues, we excel at handling complex and unpredictable situations with class and grace. From difficult lighting situations to unforeseen venue restrictions, our ability to make quick, decisive moves ensures that we manage both the visual and logistical aspects of the day flawlessly with your planner.

IV. Fluid Approach to Raw Moments & Timeless Portraits

We can read the room to know when to stay hidden for a candid moment, yet you can always rely on us to step in to guide you through effortlessly elegant portraits that won’t even look posed. This dual focus results in a diverse gallery that beautifully encapsulates both the emotional depth and aesthetic appeal of your special day.

Hello there - I am Michelle, the founder and lead photographer of Michellia Fine Imagery. With over five years of professional photography experience, I love being able to share the unique journey of each individual and feel blessed to get to work with such wonderful people each day.

My photography journey was sparked by my background in fine jewelry design, where I worked daily with soon-to-be married couples and enjoyed every minute of creating memories for people in love. I first began taking photographs of wedding jewelry to honor the symbols of love for the couples I worked with, and later ventured into documenting their love stories in the most organic, authentic way possible. Having started my career as a professional designer, I am known for my particular eye for artful details, and my ability to capture candid moments with a refined, editorial approach.

I currently live in Oregon with my husband Terry and our four fur babies - Crystal, Agate, Mochi, and Boba. Outside of photography, I am a lover of roses & hydrangeas, white & blue, couture fashion, European antiques, interior design, and serendipitous adventures.

My Loves...

I believe in:

Stars and flowers in harmony;

All things made of stardust and magic;

Fairytales that will last forever.

Wanderlust & Adventures

“When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, I told them that I wanted to be a story teller, a fairy seeker, a star gazer, a time traveler, and ultimately - a dream maker.” 

- Michelle, Founder & Lead Photographer

Videographer, audio technician, drone pilot, engineer, ISTJ & husband.

Hello, this is Terry! Michelle and I have been married for 5 years and known each other for almost 10, and it's truly a blessing when you get to work with your best friend everyday.

We've worked at countless weddings together as a husband & wife team. My primary role is the videographer; but when I do not have videography duties, I step in as her second shooter and on-site assistant. We are an inseparable team and witnessing other people's love truly make our own stronger.

Outside of the wedding world, I am an engineer with a strong background in all things technology related - whether it’s softwares, audio equipments, or camera gears. I also have a passion for fin-tech and personal investments, and can talk about my board game collections for hours ;)

Thank you again for considering us - Michelle and I look forward to celebrating with you and your loved ones on what is about to become one of the most beautiful days of your lives.

“When you choose to work with Michelle and Terry, you are not only investing in experienced wedding professionals, but also in the creative vision, artistic instincts. and compositional skills that come only from natural-born artists who have spent years honing their talent & crafts. Working with Michelle & Terry was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding journey, and above all else, we treasure the personal bond we’ve developed with them as lifelong friends.”

“We are artists first, wedding team second, and business owners last.”

Driven by our innate passion for art and design, every wedding is an art project we want to feel proud of and never just a business transaction. We prioritize making sure that we and our clients are a good fit for each other when it comes to aesthetics, vision, style, and personality. There is so much time, thought, and effort that we put into our photo/film work, and we only take on a very selected number of sessions & weddings to make sure we can treat every client with upmost care and love.
 If you appreciate our unique artistic sense & style, and think we are a good match based on everything you have read and seen on our site (and Instagram), please get in touch and see if we can make something beautiful together.

Our hearts sing when we travel, so please don’t hesitate to reach out even if you are on the other side of the world.

Follow our journey.
