Authentic. Elegant. Unforgettable.

For couples who value connection, storytelling, and imagery that will stand the test of time.

About
Michael Orzell Photography

My approach blends clean, modern imagery with timeless storytelling — capturing the moments that matter most, and the ones you didn’t even realize were happening.

From the quiet anticipation before the ceremony to the celebration that follows, I focus on genuine emotion, natural connection, and the details that make your day uniquely yours. I work with couples who value candid moments, refined style, and photography that will still feel beautiful 30 years from now.

I don’t just “take photos,” I document your story in a way that feels true to who you are.
