Luxury Wedding Photography

You are here because you know your story is not the same as others.

Down to every detail, you are creating something amazing. From that guest list that took you way too long to finalise, to the styling and bringing the dream to life. You are both ready to show your love in front of your family, willingly, vulnerably, and with your own story.

Allow me to take care of every memory and emotion, and provide you with stunning images that bring you right back to those moments.

The Magic of Weddings

What I love most about weddings are the kids running around laughing, the tipsy family members adding a touch of humor, and the laughter that fills the halls.

I cherish the quiet moments that will always be remembered, the crazy dance moves on the dance floor (some of which you might wish I didn't capture as proof of their bad dance moves), the amazing food that everyone will talk about for years after your wedding, and the styling that just 'worked'.

Meet your photographer

Hi, I am Michelle, nice to meet you

I’m based just outside of the beautiful city of Dunedin. Running this Portrait photography business is literally my dream come true.

I’m passionate about everything related to photography and constantly strive to capture the most genuine moments.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me savouring a cup of coffee (If it hasn't gone cold), wrangling 2 small humans under 3, or spending quality time with my friends and family.

Your Experience, Perfected

Over the years, I have obsessed over my client experience, from the first time you contact me to when you finally have all your images in your hands. I want this experience to be fun, especially leading up to your wedding.

Nika and David sharing their love for Michelle at Beck Studios

“When we met Michelle, we clicked instantly, with lots of laughs and relaxed chat about our upcoming wedding day. She listened to everything that we highlighted was important to us, gave honest advice and recommendations, and asked lots of thought provoking questions to work out how we wanted the day to run. Communication was excellent in the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding and she had ideas for every possible change of situation.
On the day she was so much fun, friendly, and relaxed and snapped photos we sometimes barely noticed were happening as she just made space for us to laugh and enjoy the day.
She always kept me up to date on estimated photo gallery completeness and then oh my the photos!! They were so incredible, we got to re-live so much of the day. They made me laugh and cry all over again. So many precious moments captured. The hard part now is deciding which ones to print and put in albums!!! Formal, candids, different angles, and backgrounds, so much to love. I cannot recommend Michelle at Beck Studios enough, we have had the best experience with her!”
