New England Wedding Photographer

Your day, exactly how it felt

Your wedding day is going to fly by. The happy tears, the deep belly laughs, your favorite people all in one place, and a million little moments happening around you that you might not even realize are happening.

My job is to let you actually live it.

I’ll step in with direction when you need me, disappear into the background when you don’t, and capture all of the beautiful, hilarious, emotional, perfectly imperfect moments in between.

Because years from now, I don’t just want you to remember what your wedding looked like. I want you to remember exactly what it felt like to be there.

Michele tereso

Hi! I’m so happy you’re here! I’m Michele — a Connecticut-based wedding + portrait photographer, professional third wheel, and firm believer that your photos should feel just as good as they look.

I’m here for the couples who want to be fully present on their wedding day — belly laughing, happy crying, dancing way too hard, and soaking in all the little moments happening in between.

My approach is relaxed, genuine, and completely judgment-free. I’ll give you direction when you need it, hype you up when you need that too, and then step back and let the real moments unfold. You can expect good vibes, positive energy, and probably the occasional dad joke.

At the end of it all, I want your photos to feel like you. Not just a collection of beautiful images, but a tangible reminder of exactly what this chapter of your life felt like — the people, the energy, the chaos, the love, and all.

I wish I could give 6 stars! From the moment we met Michele, she was professional, compassionate, and incredibly friendly. We were actually lucky enough to meet her at her other job — where she doesn’t usually hand out her photography business card — but she took a chance on us, and we’re so grateful she did. We took a chance right back. When I messaged Michele about booking her for our wedding, what was supposed to be a quick 20-minute “get to know you” call to review packages turned into an hour-long conversation with someone I felt like I had known for years. That’s just the effect she has on people. She is personable, genuine, easygoing, flexible, and such an amazing businesswoman. When we planned our engagement shoot, Mother Nature decided to surprise us with a monsoon. Without hesitation, Michele rearranged her schedule to accommodate us the very next day so we could still capture my dream photos. Throughout the entire process, she made us both feel completely at ease and confident with her behind the lens. She even showed up with a bottle of champagne to calm our nerves — such a thoughtful and unforgettable touch. Michele’s professionalism throughout our entire wedding process was truly unmatched. The spreadsheets, checklists, and photo portfolios she created ensured that every single detail was covered. Her organization and dedication was incredible. Working with Michele was the absolute best decision we made during our wedding process. Not only because of her flexibility and incredible photography skills — and her ability to beautifully capture every moment — but because of the genuine friendship we developed along the way. She made the entire experience feel personal, comfortable, and unforgettable. We would choose Michele over and over again! She made our wedding day completely seamless, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Beyond her incredible talent and professionalism, her friendship means so much to us and is something we will truly cherish. We would wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone reliable, fun, and genuinely loving to be part of their special day. With lots of love, The Mushaws 💙

"Michele gave me such an amazing experience at our boudoir shoot. She was punctual, prepared, and excellent at communicating her vision. She gassed me up while constructively helping me pose and I loved it! I don’t have my picture taken often, yet she made me feel so confident in front of the camera. I left feeling the prettiest I’ve ever felt and so very empowered. I can’t recommend her enough."
