Mirelle Carmichael Photography

Mirelle is an amazing photographer with a great eye for detail, perfect at capturing light and making her subjects contrast beautifully. Whether the photo is of a person or object it has a sparkle to it that draws the eye and is simply breath taking. As a person she makes everyone around her at ease, directs poses for the shy subjects and keeps the mood joyful and relaxed. I appreciated most her attention to detail such as when hairs are out of place, clothing is disheveled, or a shot just isn't working as planned. She responded promptly to emails/phone calls, worked hard to get every shot we asked for, and suggested other shots as well. I would recommend her to any couple preparing to say I do. We had our engagement photos and wedding photos with Mirelle. Our wedding photos were the most important thing to me from that day and I am so pleased with the memories we will always have thanks to her!

I could not have dreamed of a better photographer than Mirelle! I didn't have an engagement session, but Mirelle's joy and grace put everyone instantly at ease on the big day. She is efficient yet relaxed and easy-going, and she captured the wonder of each moment and every detail. She (and Cheryl) indulged every request made and went above and beyond. I knew she was good but was still blown away by the results. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone - her pictures are magical!

Mirelle has a beautiful flare and eye for art. She can make a stunning image out of the simplest detail you'd never even have noticed. She's accommodating with personal requests and she always finds a way to add a little more magic than was already there. She maneuvers invisibly as she captures everything and when she does make herself known, she's a delight and a pleasant addition to the room. I'm beyond thrilled with what she captured and I'll treasure these images forever.

Mirelle and Cheryl were AMAZING! If you are looking for a professional, down-to-earth, organized photographer than Mirelle Charmichael Photography is for you! We were married at the Canary Hotel and we were so pleased with Mirelle's work with our engagement photos that we couldn't wait to see our wedding photos. Friends who works with famous photogs at their weddings, were more impressed with our photos than with their own. When we have children or other special future events in our lives, we intend to use Mirelle to capture those moments.

Mirelle was so great to work with! She was super helpful throughout the process and I receive SO MANY compliments on my pictures. She captured our day beautifully and I am very grateful I found her! Her easy going attitude really helped put us at ease- especially for my husband who hates taking pictures!

I have no complaints whatsoever and only great things to say about Mirelle! Her beautiful photography work speaks for itself...just spend a few minutes looking through her blog and you will see that. She has a knack for capturing the little details and moments which make your day unique without you even noticing she is there. She was amazing with our guests, young and old, and we felt like we had known her our whole lives after just a couple of minutes. She is an extremely positive, hard-working, and happy person who will add nothing but joy to your wedding/special day. I absolutely recommend Mirelle Carmichael Photography without any hesitation to anyone looking for a phtographer and would hire her again myself in a second!! We love the work she did for us on our wedding!

Mirelle is wonderful to work with! She is an absolute gem and so talented. Photography was one of the more important aspects of our wedding and she was the prefect choice for photographer. We were given so many different options of style: candid, posed, playful, serious...ect. She was so great. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for someone to capture their special moments:)

There are no words to describe how happy I am that Mirelle was our Engagement/Wedding photographer. I found Mirelle online and fell in love with her style through her website & blog. When I checked her out on wedding wire, the comments were as amazing as her work. When you meet Mirelle, she instantly makes you feel comfortable, a pretty key trait in someone who will be following you around with a camera on the most important day of your life!! Mirelle is professional and poised in her work and still wonderfully creative in her shots. She made sure she knew exactly what WE wanted out of our day and made sure it happened, this is HUGE because you never realize how fast your day goes by and how easy it would be to miss things if she had not known what you wanted. We are so thankful to have met Mirelle and look forward to having her as our photographer in the future. THANKS MIRELLE!!

Mirelle has been a godsend start to finish. My wedding planner provided me with a list of photographers... I'd never heard of any of them and was basing my opinions of their work solely on their web presence, portfolio, and package offers. (Top on my list: dual photographers, extra hours of coverage, digital negatives.) Mirelle was a perfect fit for our needs. Luckily for us, she is also a super sweet gal! Mirelle was was VERY flexible as it rained week after week... I think we rescheduled our engagement session three times... Mirelle and her sister Cheryl are an amazing team and this didn't faze them at all. We now have some of the most amazing engagement and wedding pictures, photos that we will cherish forever. Thank you, Mirelle. Ben&Tricia

Mirelle was simply amazing and a breath of fresh air! We were running late on hair and makeup, it was raining, and it was pretty chaotic, but Mirelle was calm and genuinely excited to be taking our pictures! Even my beautician was happy with how great she was. Regardless of the rain, she worked it out without a hitch. In the moments when I was swept up in the moment, she was able to take great photos without me even knowing she was there! I've only seen a few photos, but of what she showed me, I'm really impressed. Can't wait to see the rest! Thanks again Mirelle for being a part of our special day!

Mirelle is an amazing photographer! Since my wedding day, I have been referring her to everyone I know. Mirelle is so passionate about her work and provides a level of service that is above and beyond. In addition, we didn't have to pick and choose from the photos that we liked; we received rights to ALL of them! If you want photos that will truly take your breath away, I would checkout Mirelle Carmichael.

Mirelle did a fabulous job on my sons' 4 year old and 1 year old photos. We had a fun time with her in Los Alamos, CA. I would use her again in a heartbeat! We will definitely be taking family photos for our Christmas card. She is highly recommended!

Mirelle was so easy to work with, always responded quickly to questions prior to the shoot. She made my entire family comfortable right away and had fun with us, which shows in the final photos. Her easygoing style and wonderful eye for stunning shots made our experience with her a memorable one. Would highly recommend (and have done so already!).
Though we had a family photo shoot, I've seen her bridal work and it's stunning as well. I also think it's a lot harder to shoot little kids and parents than couples in love (and she's an amazing family photographer as well), so she'd be a dynamite choice for your wedding!

Mirelle was just absolutely amazing!! She did our engagement photos and our wedding pictures. I was really uncomfortable at first posing for pictures and she made me and my new husband feel so comfortable and so happy! She knew how to capture all the perfect moments and she was so very creative. I had 20 people in my bridal party and she did a great job getting everyone together and was so patient with us. She also made an AMAZING guest book for my wedding day. I was late in getting her the pictures I wanted and she was pressed for time, but she made it happen for me, and when I saw it, I just fell in love. I have yet to see my wedding pictures and I am so confident they will be just perfect! I would definitely recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks Mirelle, you are awesome!!!

Mirelle is an absolutely AMAZING photographer! She did both our engagement photos and the wedding and my husband and I are so happy with how she captured us and all the special moments! Her work is truly amazing - I was so sad at first when the clouds were rolling in on my beachfront wedding, but looking at the pictures, you can't tell it wasn't anything but perfect! She's so great to work with, flexible and professional! Thanks Mirelle!

Mirelle is an absolute joy! I've seen most of her work and was blown away by the work she did for me. I would recommend her to family and friends in the area (and have!)

I have used Mirelle for my son's pictures last April and again for our family pictures in September. I love her ideas and her locations. She is sweet and beautiful and easy to work with. I am so bummed that I got married before I knew her because I would have totally had her do my wedding photos. The wedding photos I have seen in her profile are amazing and makes me jealous that I don't have those types of pictures. She is awesome!

Having Mirelle as my wedding photographer was a wonderful experience. At times, I didn't even feel like she was there becuase she was so professional and made everyone feel so comfortable. Her pictures are absolutley beautiful, extrememly creative, and impressively original. We would love to have her shoot us again. As a part time wedding coordinator, I woulud suggest her to all my furture brides!

Mirelle is great! She photographed our wedding and went above and beyond our expectations. She's very easy to work with and we will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!

Mirelle is wonderful! My husband and I chose Mirelle to do both our engagement and wedding photos and she was so creative, professional and welcoming that we will absolutely use her services in the future. Our entire family(ies) were so impressed with her work and we are delighted with the results.

Working with Mirelle has been absolutely AMAZING so far! She shot my fiance and my engagement photos and will be shooting our wedding next month. She is fun and easy to work with, and I did not see one bad picture she took. All her photos are unique and creative, I loved every single shot! She makes you feel comfortable, and allows you to have fun. I'm excited for her to shoot our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend her. :D -Rachel

What can I say about Mirelle? Well, she is absolutely AMAZING! Although we didn't have the privilege to have her photograph our wedding (had my husband and I waited, we would've hired Mirelle in a hearbeat!) we did have a splendid family shoot with her and it was a fun experience! Mirelle was even hesitant about the way the first session had gone (my 2-year-old at the time, was very camera-shy), so she even offered to do a second shoot with us. Needless-to-say, the photos from the first shoot were beautiful anyway, but having her cater to us and ensure a wide collection of great pics of our family was pure satisfaction! We love you, Mirelle!

Mirelle has been a pleasure to work with! She takes beautiful images and is wonderful to work with - she has such upbeat energy!

I have worked with Mirelle and a few weddings and she is so quick to reply to all communications and stays on top of things while we are in the planning process. She's very easy to work with and go with whatever we come up with for the timeline, which is great since there are sooo many other elements that have to factor into it. She arrives on time and is very easy to work with and open to suggestions. She knows that it's all about the wedding couple and their families and is very respectful of them. It's definitely not all about her and her portfolio - she really cares about her couples and it shows. Looking forward to working with her again very soon.

Mirelle does a fabulous job capturing the personalities of the couple and the beauty of the day. Her professionalism and attention to detail makes her an outstanding professional in her field.

I have done at least 4 photo shoots with her, and 2 weddings. Mirelle makes her clients feel so comfortable and confident. She knows exactly how to pose her subjects and make them look amazing without being forceful. She is patient, genuine, and always complimenting her clients on their taste and beauty without being fake. She works hard but never shows stress or seem under pressure.
As a vendor in the industry, I meet and work with a lot of photographers and see tons of different photographers' work, but hers is by far, one of my favorites. She knows exactly how to capture the emotion in the photograph, and then her editing skills are just perfect! She gets it right the first time around. She has a way of photographing people, especially children, that is very innocent, raw, natural, and beautiful without it looking forced, posed, or too over the top.

Mirelle and her assistant were very professional, flexible and fun to work. They were very laid back and understanding of plans changing due to rain.
They paid close attention to the photo request list provided by the bride to ensure they got all the pictures she wanted.
Mirelle was very quick to learn family and bridal parties names which made it easier to direct and gather people for photos. I would recommend Mirelle Carmichael Photography to anyone.
