When you're looking for the right Raleigh Wedding Photographer, there are several criteria that are probably on your list, such as artistic style, photo packages, and pricing. One thing I would recommend you add or keep at the top of that list is- What will the experience of working with that photographer be like?
Over the years, I've learned a lot and have built a reputation in Raleigh for beautiful, creative photography, but also for reliable customer service. I love meeting new people and getting to know each and every one of you. Figuring out how to express your love story and personalities in the photos I create for you is an artistic challenge I enjoy more than anything.

Justin and Allie were married at the Cotton Room in Durham, NC. The Cotton Room is truly a beautiful wedding venue. The bridal suite is by far my favorite of any wedding venue I have photographed at. I walked in and my mouth literally fell to the floor. I felt like I had walked into a 5 star beauty salon.
Gabe and Sherilyn were married at Pine Lakes Country Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Before I speak about the wedding let me just say Pine Lakes is such a beautiful wedding venue. Custom hardwood floors, crystal chandeliers, fireplaces, original architectural moulding, and an expansive covered porch with a stunning view of the grand lawn can all be found at Pine Lakes Country Club.
One of the reasons I love weddings so much is because it's truly special to celebrate the commitment that's being made between two people who are setting out on a new chapter in their love story. There is no better way to celebrate that than by creating the perfect engagement photos.
My style of photography centers on a love of expressing personality and emotion and telling your unique and wonderful story with a photojournalist style with a touch of creative portraits.I like to think outside of the box and create original photos that fit your style perfectly.

I have been a Raleigh Newborn Photographer going on 15 years and I love it! Not only do I provide newborn sessions, but I also provide Maternity Photography to expecting mothers, children photography as their babies reach new milestones, and family portraits as they come together in this new stage of life.
Engagement Photos can be done anytime of the year at the location of your choice or I can make some recommendations for you. Contact for detailed pricing. Bridal Portraits are typically done 1-2 months before the wedding date after your final alterations. I not only photograph weddings in North Carolina, I have also had the honor of photographing in Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Florida, and Alabama.

Michelle is extremely professional with her work. We got our newborn’s photoshoot done by her. We took a look at her gallery initially and were sold out. Her work quality is top notch and she doesn’t settle for anything lesser than perfection. With newborns one can imagine how extremely challenging it is to take photos, Michelle was so patient and didn’t give up until she got the perfect shot. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to get their newborn photoshoot done. We would love to get more family photoshoots done by her in future.

Michelle photographed our newborn girl 7 days after birth. Michelle's studio is perfect for newborn shoots and has many great options for backgrounds/scenes. She exercised great care when posing our baby, provided all the outfits, and provided us amazing photographs 1 week later. My wife and I highly recommend Michelle for wow-dropping newborn shoots with an artistic flair.

Michelle has been photographing my family since 2013. She has always been professional, courteous, and amazingly talented. Every time we have a photo session with her we have a new favorite family photo. We have used Michelle for family photos, maternity photos, newborn photos and everything in between. We will continue to drive almost 2 hours to ensure we have pictures from her. She is incredibly talented, pays attention to detail, and always delivers our pictures in a timely manner. Everything about Michelle is professional and we are thankful for all of her hard work, ability, and skill. I highly

Michelle has gone above and beyond my expectations for our maternity shoot as well as our newborn photoshoot. She was so gentle with our brand new daughter and yet captured such graceful and beautiful shots. We will definitely be working with her for future photoshoots and would give her more than 5 stars if that were even allowed. Thank you, Michelle. We are so happy we got to work with you to have beautiful photos to reflect back on for forever!!!!

Hands down! Best photographer ever!
We were married on August 8, 2020. I wish there were 100 stars or more to rate Michelle, although that still would not be enough. My husband and I thought Michelle was awesome before we even met her at the wedding, but when we met her all the things we thought about her were much greater than what we could have ever imagined. If you are looking for wedding photos with a little twist, Michelle is your photographer. She is so fun and very candid about what will work and what won't. She will put you FIRST, every single time. She wants to capture the true essence

I'll start by saying that Michelle Gunton is by far one of the best in the business and that is no exaggeration. Not only does her work speak for her talents but she is all about business and she knows what she's doing. When my wife and I booked her to do our wedding we had no doubts that we were making the right choice after our first call with her. Through the entire process of planning she made sure that we were all on the same page and walked through everything that we needed to know in-order to be sure that were getting exactly what were paying for. Despite Michelle being a seasoned vet in

You’re missing out if you don’t hire Michelle for your photography needs!!!

Michelle did an EXCELLENT job with our newborn photos! I was a little hesitant about leaving the house with a new baby so soon, but Michelle made everything comfortable and easy for me as a new mom. She was very understanding and helpful. In addition, our photos were GORGEOUS! We love her work, and my husband and I commented after we left her studio that she was clearly a true artist, creative and dedicated to her craft. I highly recommend Michelle if you are looking for a photographer!

Michelle took the most wonderful pictures! She got our pictures back quickly after our wedding and the quality of her photos are amazing. She truly captures the moments and will do just about anything to get the shot. The only reason I am giving 4 out 5 stars is because our wedding day was a little hectic and it kept changing from the original timeline. During the sudden changes, she was not entirely flexible. Which is not a bad thing, she kept us on track as much as possible even with all the last minute changes, but she was tense. She also made a video of our wedding and it was awesome! The music
