Michele Maloney Photography

I capture the stuff that makes you stop, take a deep breath, and remember that moment. That thing that happened. Those words he said. Every once in a while, I'll get asked why I do what I do. It's not everyone's dream job to haul around a ludicrous amount of camera gear on most Saturdays….but it's been my dream job for a while. I mean a long while...since the days of film…and I get to spend my days capturing raw emotion and making some crazy awesome photos for people. It's a total thrill.

Weddings are a big deal. I look back at my wedding, which was freaking fantastic, and I still am glad that there was a camera. The photo that I will love the most probably forever is an image my photographer took as she was walking out of the church. My husband was waiting for the limo, and it was cold so I sat right on top of the old church heater. Instantly, my guy removed my shoes and rubbed my feet. He just has a heart of service and while the photo wasn't technically fabulous and no one on earth would have pinned it on Pinterest, it's the image I would never take down off of my wall.
