Colorado Engagement Session
Engagements
I absolutely love Colorado Springs engagement sessions because it gives me a chance to get to know you before the big wedding day. This is a moment you will have and remember through your photos for a lifetime. I value them so much that I still have my own engagement photos displayed on my walls 6 years after the fact. You are only engaged for such a short period of time, lets make the most of it!

Michelle is so amazing!! The pictures she took captured the fun energy for the day. She made me and my husband/party feel so comfortable when we were taking pictures. She was really good with communication and posing. She catered to all of our out of the box photo requests. She got the pictures back to us earlier than she was contracted to. If you are in the market for someone to make your wedding fantastic she’s your gal!

We are absolutely thrilled with the experience we had with Michelle Betz as our wedding photographer! She truly went above and beyond to make sure we got the most breathtaking and memorable pictures from our special day. Every photo is a testament to her incredible talent and attention to detail.
Not only is she a gifted photographer, but she is also incredibly sweet and personable, which made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured the most genuine and heartfelt moments with such ease.
We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone who will bring their vision to life with professionalism, warmth, and artistry!
