About The Vibrant

The Vibrant

Lead Photographer

Bold, vibrant, and story-driven wedding photography based in North Carolina. We specialize in a photojournalistic approach that captures real moments as they unfold—while making our couples feel relaxed, confident, and comfortable in front of the camera. Led by Lead Photographer Michelle, and associate David, our Carolina team brings more than 14 years of wedding industry experience, with backgrounds spanning photojournalism, event coordination, customer service, and marketing. We’re known for blending natural light with intentional off-camera flash to create images that feel both authentic and elevated. Travel available!

Weddings move fast—and we know how to move with them. Michelle is an expert at reading the room, adapting in real time, and creating space for genuine connection even when the day feels full. From timeline shifts to family dynamics, our experience allows couples to stay present while we quietly take care of the storytelling.

    Michelle not only is she incredibly talented, but she was fun, organized and a true joy to have around on such an important day. Her up beat energy and positive attitude made everyone feel so comfortable. She captured every special moment so beautiful and our photos are absolutely stunning and her experience just as amazing as the photos. I am beyond grateful and would recommend her a thousand times over!

    Jennifer, thank you so much for these incredibly kind words. It truly means the world to me that you felt comfortable, cared for, and able to fully enjoy such a meaningful day. Capturing those moments for your family was an absolute honor, and I’m so grateful you trusted me with something so special. I’m thrilled you love your photos as much as I loved creating them for you. Thank you again for the recommendation—it means more than you know 🤍

    Working with Michael and The Vibrant was the best choice for a wedding photographer! He was efficient and prepared with clear communication the whole time. He is great with people to round them up for specific pictures, and his sense of humor made people feel at ease. The pictures turned out fantastic – all great quality and he is very creative. Just a great person to work with. I would recommend him to everyone!

  • Michelle is so fun to work with!

    The Vibrant photographers were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our first call, they were fast, efficient, and extremely clear in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Their enthusiasm for capturing our special day was evident in every interaction. When we saw the final photos, we were blown away - the quality of their work is truly top-notch, with a unique and beautiful style that perfectly reflected the joy and love of our wedding. We couldn't be happier with the memories The Vibrant created for us, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, professional photographers.

  • Highly recommend

    If I could give the vibrant a million stars I would! Not only was everyone at my wedding impressed with Michelle’s energy and willingness to go above and beyond to get the best shot- but the photographs came out phenomenal. This team is so creative and hard working- I was so impressed with how quickly I got my sneak peaks and album. I will never hire or recommend another photographer…. Truly the best of the best.
