Hello and welcome! I’m Michelle, the heart and camera behind Michelle Armantrout Photography. I’m so glad you’re here.

This space is where I share the stories behind the images — the laughter, the tears, the quiet moments, and the big adventures — because photography isn’t just about pictures. It’s about capturing memories that will last a lifetime.

Here, you’ll find:

• Wedding & Elopement Inspiration – From intimate courthouse ceremonies to luxury adventure weekends, I’ll share tips, real stories, and ideas to make your day uniquely yours.

• Lifestyle Sessions – Families, couples, and solo sessions: how to feel comfortable in front of the camera and create images that reflect your personality.

• Behind the Scenes – Peek into how I craft a story through light, location, and moments that matter.

• Tips & Guides – From planning your session to choosing the perfect wardrobe, I share everything I’ve learned helping couples and families celebrate their love.

My hope is that this blog will be a resource, inspiration, and a little escape — a place where you can dream, plan, and feel confident in your story.

Thank you for stopping by. I can’t wait to share more, and I hope you leave inspired, informed, and maybe even a little enchanted.

With Joy,
Michelle
