About Michelle Lanning Photography

Michelle Lanning Photography

Lead Photographer

An expert on wild and beautiful locations on the West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii) I am a full time photographer with a passion for creating timeless and candid art about your life. I service all of Southern California, Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii regularly, and will travel anywhere you want me to go to document your love!

My photos are cinematic and dreamy, capturing the emotion and candid moments on your wedding or elopement. I love to tell stories through images and being super observant and in touch with your emotions definitely helps me capture your true feelings. I choose specific lighting for my images because that also truly helps design the feeling of images. I am also a very intuitive person, which helps me notice when you don't feel comfortable while we are taking photos. My main goal is to help you feel comfortable and have fun while we document your love

    We have had the pleasure of working with Michelle a few times now and each time she delivers a stunning and quality product. She is punctual, a clear communicator, and flexible in a dynamic outdoor space. We appreciate her professionalism and obvious love for her craft. She puts our couples at ease and is a breeze to work with. Thanks Michelle!

  • We are SO happy we found her!!!

    September '23 couple here - while searching for photographers back in December '22, we really didn't know what we were looking for, that is, until we found Michelle. Her photos were the perfect marriage of whimsical, light, airy but poetic & deeply romantic at the same time. The vibe I could see on the walls of my home for years to come. She did our engagement photos in Joshua Tree, after scouting the park on her own all day one day, to make sure the location was exactly what we wanted. We trusted her vision immensely! Not only was that day a blast, the end results were seriously everything we wanted & more. Fast forward to our Wedding, September 30th, 2023. An absolute dream of a day. Michelle completely conquered that day. She was so great at directing every situation to get the perfect shots. I come from an event background, so her organizational management and eye for perfection did not go unnoticed. We are so glad we found her, & now when our family grows, I know exactly who I'm calling for family photos 3
