my dream is to help create memories you can take with you
I’m Michelle Salazar, a photographer based in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest — available for travel wherever your story takes us.
My love for photography began at a young age while exploring new places, where I found inspiration in the beauty of people, fleeting moments, and ever-changing landscapes. Photography became my way of preserving memory — a way to hold on to emotion, place, and connection. I believe every image carries a story, and that belief fuels my dedication to creating work that feels honest, timeless, and true.
I find deep joy in capturing the magic of weddings and elopements — documenting the real, unscripted moments that make each celebration uniquely yours. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, my goal is to create imagery that reflects your story with emotion, depth, and intention. I also specialize in portraits and branding photography, working closely with individuals and businesses to create visuals that feel both powerful and personal.
For me, photography is about cherishing both grand adventures and the quiet, everyday moments that make life special. If you’re ready to create something beautiful together and tell your story through images, I’d love to connect!
"Capture the moments that matter, for they tell your story."

Michelle went above & beyond to capture our experience. Our whole process was stressful but she was extremely flexible to our needs. It started raining as we were taking pictures & she didn’t complain once! As long as we were happy, she was too happy & that is all I could ask for in a photographer!

Michelle CAPTURED US AND OUR PERSONALITIES PERFECTLY. We couldn't have asked for anything better, or thought up a more beautiful location.
