“Michelle was a fantastic resource for us and went above and beyond by helping us figure out the best ceremony locations, sending me links to vendors who sell elopement wedding dresses, corralling our immediate families into beautiful portraits, and helping us navigate an unexpected thunderstorm for our outdoor wedding.
I highly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who cares deeply about their clients and will provide an incredible experience.”
— Olivia Bayer
“Almost three years later and I am still in awe of how amazingly this power couple captured our special day. Everytime I look at these photos I am teleported back to one of the best days of my life, largely due to their approach being authentic documentary style. Michelle and Thomas were so chill, laid back, and down to earth which made my husband and I so so comfortable to just be ourselves (usually we HATE being on camera).
LONG STORY SHORT don't sleep on this duo for your wedding day, they are simply the best.”
— Jaclyn Martin
“Michelle & Tom are absolute rockstars! Our goal with the day was to make it as stress-free and fun as possible and the Breiters made that a reality! If you want to meet two people for the first time on your wedding day that you feel like you've known for your whole life, I can't recommend the Breiters enough!!
OH, and I can't forget to mention how wonderful the photos and video they took are - pure magic! So many of our friends and family cried when we shared them”
