Michelle Loconto Photography

This Mother of the Bride found Michelle a delight to work with! There was a "hiccup" with the original photographer the Bride & Groom hired...he referred them to Michelle and she immediately took them on, making their date a priority. So very pleased with the photos, she captured the day perfectly!

Michelle was great! I love that she caught so many candid moments from our day!

Michelle Loconto was amazing!! Her talent for seeing and taking the perfect picture to capture the moment is stupendous. We were late due to traffic and she never got rattled and kept us all calm and serene. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone. Toni Pavlos (Mother of the Bride).

Working with michelle was amazing. THe quality of the photos are magnificent. She also created a montage of photos with music that we treasure. - which has been great, because as a bride - it all moved so quickly, yet we have a perfect compilation of our special day. Michelle and her team were so easy to work with. She got incredible shots yet I never felt imposed upon. I have recommended her to friends and will continue to use her for captures the special moments in our lives... i.e pregnancy, new baby, family, anniversary. We are so very happy with our choice.

Michelle Laconto Photography is, without question, who should do your photography for your wedding. She was the most attentive, responsive, professional vendor I have ever worked with, and she was such a veteran with wedding photos it put me (the bride) at complete ease knowing that she would take care of everything. Although she was technically just my "photographer" I checked other boxes for the services she provided because she helped with our planning by referring us to incredibly priced and high quality vendors, providing counsel when we needed it, telling me which hairstyles and make up colors would be best in the lighting, etc. I could write endlessly about her talent and exceptionally focused vision for wedding photography. My family could not get over how amazing she was, and how she managed to be everywhere getting every shot imaginable. Also, she got us our photographs within THREE DAYS of our wedding! Literally, we were on our honeymoon and our wedding photos were in our inbox. Incredible! I had heard horror stories about wedding photographers who took months or years to get you photos, or that "disappeared", and I can tell you that Michelle is the antithesis of those tales. She is bright, cheerful and inventive - and she can work with all personality types! Even conservative priests that are less concerned with your photos, which was a challenge for us that she overcame without causing us any stress. If I could rate our experience with her any higher than 5 stars, I would. Incredible value for total talent and professionalism. Highly, highly recommend - several of my girlfriends are getting married and wish they didn't already sign contracts with photographers because they want to use her.

Michelle Loconto was one of the highlights of my wedding! She was incredibly easy to work with, and the photos were spectacular. She brought this cool equipment that she used to light the photos that made it look like we had hired someone to light our venue. I didn't notice her lighting at the time of the wedding, but I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the photos. We had originally planned to do a sunset shoot on the day of the wedding, but it was raining all day, so we did two weeks afterwards instead. She was also super fast with our photos, and for the two sessions (the wedding and the post-wedding session), we received our photos faster than she said she would have them to us. Michelle was also beyond professional. I had actually hired another photographer who was one of her good friends that became unavailable for my wedding due to unforeseen circumstances. He set me up with her, and she took over his contract verbatim! As per the other photographer's contract, she did a post-wedding session with us, and she gave us a full resolution CD, which was one of the things I was looking for when shopping for a photographer. She really turned around a situation that could have been very stressful. I am incredibly glad that we stumbled upon her, and I really couldn't imagine having a better photographer.

Michelle did a terrific job, gave us exactly what we wanted in the photos! She was very helpful after our original photographer was unable to work the wedding, and very helpful on such short notice. Would recommend her to anyone!

Michelle was fabulous from start to finish, I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the state of Texas. She is kind, thoughtful, understanding, sharp, punctual, professional and a joy to work with. My pictures were stunning, she worked with me on price and timing, she always responded when I had questions (even the dumb ones!) and I'm grateful that a friend passed her name along to us. Thank you Michelle for everything! Love, Drew and Ashley

Michelle and her crew of photographers were on time for all shootings and very professional. I have not yet seen all photos but what I have browsed through are absolutely wonderful!!! I highly recommend her and her crew!!!

Michelle Loconto is an outstanding photographer! She was the photographer for my sister's wedding on 10/16/11. Michelle is very professional and I really appreciate the schedule that she gave us to make sure everyone knew where they needed to be during the day for pictures. That really made the day flow easily and kept us from having to track anyone down. Her knowledge of photo angles and lighting really made the pictures better than I could have imagined. Thank you Michelle for capturing my sister's big day in such a special way!

Michelle .. was great from our first meeting she made me feel so comfortable about the wedding pictures.. she provided us with the timelines .. on the wedding day It was so much fun watching her at work and the the pictures are awesome..

Michelle was the photographer for my best friend's wedding and can't say enough great things about her. Michelle captured all of the special moments throughout the day without us even noticing. We barely knew she was there. She's very professional yet laid back at the same time. The pictures tell the whole story from beginning to end. We were all very pleased and I highly recommend her for your wedding or next big event. Thanks again Michelle!

I cannot thank Michelle enough for my beautiful pictures from my wedding, bridal session, and engagement shoot! Her picture ideas are creative and fun... Exactley what I wanted from my photographer!! Will definitely be calling Michelle for all my big life events to capture the special moments perfectly!

I know my ratings for Michelle look amazing ... but that's because she IS amazing! Michelle is ... SO nice, yet full of exciting ideas, and a can do attitude. She also has such a great eye for shots, yet is just SO unobtrusive in the way she gets her fabulous photos! Finally, she has a great head for the business end of photography - which is so important and often lacking with photographers. She shot my youngest daughter's wedding and the baptism of my baby granddaughter. We are all just SO excited about the photos she took AND the way she put them together into albums, and on really wonderful videos and posters! Just can't say enough good about her!

I cannot say enough good things about Michelle!! She was not only an amazing photographer but she was so much fun to work with. We did our engagements, boudoir, bridals and of course the big day with her. Every session was different and we came out with sssoooooo many good photos to choose from! Also, I can say that I never considered doing a boudoir session until I found Michelle! She made me feel so comfortable, brought lots of ideas and made me laugh...necessary in such a situation. :) Finally, she had a super quick turnaround. She would always post sneak peeks and slideshows very quickly and then what felt like a day later you would get a whole CD of all the photos. She also had great suggestions and ideas for print and album and was truly a joy to shoot with! We are looking forward to taking a newlywed Christmas photo with her because we miss her already!!

Michelle is amazing!!! She is very professional, but at the same time she feels like one of your closest girlfriends! I loved working with her and totally recomend her to everyone:)

Michelle was the photographer for my daughter's Aug. 20 wedding at Star Hill Ranch. She arrived around 2pm for getting ready and pre-ceremony family pictures, stayed throughout the reception and then followed the bride and groom to the hotel for after the reception photos. She also graciously agreed to come to the rehearsal dinner at no extra charge. Besides all the time she devoted to our events, on the day of the wedding she provided unexpected extras such as displaying two large photos of the bride/groom and giving out other smaller photos that she had taken at the rehearsal dinner. She also sent a box of thank-you postcards of the bride/groom and created a slide show of the wedding day capturing all the special moments. She was a joy to work with, took many pictures at all events including my daughter's bridal portraits at LaGuna Gloria. She even brought a second photographer with her to the wedding ceremony and reception. We highly recommend Michelle and plan to have her take more family photos in the future. She won't disappoint!

My sister's wedding would not have been the same without Michelle Loconto Photography. Michelle worked diligently to capture every aspect of the wedding (rehersal dinner, getting ready, ceremony, formals, first dance, toast and cake, reception and departure). She is friendly as can be and very professional. I would with out a doubt recommend her to anyone looking for amazing, stand out pictures. My family looks forward to working with her again in the near future.

If you are looking for a photographer, LOOK NO FURTHER! You will have a blast working with Michelle, and she will capture the most amazing memories that you will cherish for a lifetime! I only have great things to say about her. Where do I begin...One month into my engagement we hired Michelle to shoot our big day. The first time I spoke to her on the phone, I felt like she was an old friend. She immediately gave me guidance and advice not only about photography, but also about planning, hair, makeup, etc. I could do nothing, but hug her the first time we met in person. Our first meeting was amazing, and Michelle made me feel so comfortable in her studio. Michelle went over our package, photos, itinerary, and so much more. On my bridal portrait day, I was a little nervous to shoot. I'd never had a spotlight on me. Michelle busted out a bottle of champagne, and made me feel at ease. She also provided the best direction to capture beautiful photos. I love my bridal portraits! We shot at Laguna Gloria in Austin, and the photos were absolutely gorgeous! Our rehearsal dinner...I never thought about having a professional photographer shoot our rehearsal, but when I tossed out the idea to Michelle, she jumped right on board! The price she quoted was great, and she was able to warm up my family and friends to the camera. My fiancé has a really hard time taking pictures, and Michelle made him feel right at home. One of the best shots she took, was when she climbed up a rock clif in heels to get a photo from above where we were standing. I laugh every time I think of this. Michelle had to jump on an old truck and almost fell climbing to capture this moment. Michelle will do anything to for a creative photo. Some of the best photos were taken this night! Our wedding day...Michelle showed up to our venue early, ready to shoot! As I was getting ready, I noticed her handing out cards to all the parents. In my mind I thought, wait a second, we should be giving her a card. The cards she was handing out had pictures from the rehearsal dinner that captured photos with the entire family. She also surprised me with portrait sized photos to display during our cocktail hour. Seeing them for the first time made me cry. Michelle's an animal, how did she have time to put this together? More wedding day...just a few hiccups...I know things can go wrong like the wedding cake almost falling over due to Texas heat, and the dj not playing the right song when your mom walks down the aisle, but Michelle helped calm me down when things weren't 100%. Some of the most perfect moments was Michelle shooting my wedding, and the food that was served by Susan at Austin Catering. This past year I've been in two weddings, and the brides were so upset after seeing their pictures. I felt terrible for them. The photos from my wedding are breathtaking, creative, tear jerking, hilarious, and absolutely perfect! Michelle is so talented, and down for the entire ride! I never heard one complaint, and I have none to give! One of the best photos Michelle took was in our hotel when the wedding was over. Michelle was probably bushed, but she's so dedicated and passionate about her work. She drove all the way to our hotel to shoot a picture that she had taken from another wedding. When I saw this picture I had to have it! Michelle took a picture of my husband and me jumping on the bed throwing rose pedals in the air. It's an amazing shot! (this should be your signiture photo) Thank you Michelle for being so patient with us when we were feeling so good after our wedding! Thank you as well for the thank you cards you had made for us highlighting this photo. I love them! One day after the wedding Jeff and I left for our honeymoon. A week later, when I was able to use my phone again, I jumped right on Facebook to see if anyone posted any pictures. The first thing I saw was a slide show with an artistic touch from Michelle. She had already shared the entire wedding with my friends and family. As I picked up my bags, my husband and I were able to see the best snapshot of our big day. What a treat! If you are looking for a photographer, I wouldn't hire anyone else. I've been in 6 weddings and have never experienced a more professional, flexible, passionate, and caring person like Michelle. I can't wait to have kids one day so she can shoot them as well. I'm sorry I wrote a novel, but Michelle is worth every word! Thank you Michelle for providing us with the most beautiful memories a girl could ever wish for!

I am the mother of the bride and I can't say enough wonderful things about Michelle and how amazing she was to work with. She stayed in constant contact with us and got to know our family and what we wanted. It is hard to find someone you can truly trust to do a wonderful job especially when it's your daughter's wedding but Michelle always put us at ease and made the entire experience truly wonderful. Michelle is an awesome person and she has an eye for details as well as an amazing gift and talent for photography. She is not just a photographer but an artist! Her creativity in her work captured the entire experience and far exceeded what we could have even imagined! I would totally recommend Michelle to anyone! She totally tells a story with her work.
