THE EXPERIENCE -
Weddings are about bringing your fave people along for the ultimate celebration of your love, complete with delish food, good drinks, and the best vibes
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Picture it: Your wedding was years ago, and you’re curled up on the couch together, transported back to the magic of your wedding day as you flip through your wedding photos and reminisce. This album is basically your own personal time machine. You look at these pictures and don’t just remember how you looked, but also about how you felt: at ease and fully yourself.
We connect most with couples who aren’t afraid to wander (hello, it’s in the name!) and be themselves, even if that means being a little weird. No judgement. If you’re nervous about being in front of the camera or have ideas for how to visually tell your story, we’re all ears. Our mission is to affirm and encourage you throughout the process of working together, so you can effortlessly shine in your photos.
Our speciality is capturing candid, warm images, without pressuring perfection or forcing stiff poses. Don’t get us wrong, we love an editorial, artsy shot, but nothing makes our hearts sing like capturing a true, organic moment. We’re inspired by moments of love and connection, from the sweet whispered affirmations to the belly laughs courtesy of random karate moves (maybe that’s just my husband and I?) These threads of connection—between you, your partner, and the people you love most—are what weave your story together, and we’re here to bring them to life through photos.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH US
“Michelle was such a joy to work with! We are so happy that we hired Wandermore for our spring, 60 person wedding in Brooklyn (we also did an engagement shoot with Michelle ~a year before the wedding). Having a great photographer was a big priority for us, and Michelle definitely delivered. Michelle was super friendly and lovely to be around. She was great at giving prompts to help elicit beautiful, candid photographs. We’re more of a silly/goofy couple, so it was important to us that our engagement and wedding-day pictures captured that – Michelle did such a wonderful job in ensuring that the energy and joy of the evening was reflected in our photos! The cherry on the cake was that her turnaround time was also *so* fast. Literally the day after our wedding Michelle got us our sneak peek photos… and only 4 weeks after the wedding we got our full album! We highly, highly recommend Michelle and the Wandermore team!”
- Sayri & Fred
“We worked with Michelle and Cesar on our engagement shoots and our wedding day and just could not have asked for a better photographer. We wanted a photographer that could capture our love naturally and skip the awkwardly posed photos. They captured our relationship candidly and created the most precious memories for us to keep together. They have gone above and beyond to help us achieve our dream…Michelle literally went into the ocean to take pictures of us. Book Wandermore to capture your precious moments, you will NOT regret it.”
- Alessia & Zach
“Michelle is a dream to work with. She is warm and friendly, quick to make a joke to put you at ease. She is very good at rolling with the changes required when weather (or your dress) doesn't cooperate! I feel like she captured us at our most authentic, even when giving posing instructions - nothing was forced, and the photos prove it. Our engagement photos were stellar, and the wedding sneak peeks have me dying to see the rest. She is collaborative and helpful, I would (will!) absolutely work with her again in the future.”
- Margaret & Ben
“We booked Wandermore for our NYC wedding and we could not recommend them more. So easy to work with, so thorough, and the best results we could have hoped for. We are not very comfortable in front of the camera but we felt so at ease and every single picture makes us feel special and attractive! Specifically our couples photos in Central Park- they’re gorgeous and they look like we rented out the park even though we were in a very populated area! All of our guests complimented how nice the photographers are and how much they liked the photos of themselves. Most importantly to me, the candid photos of us walking through the venue looked exactly as I had hoped based on the clarity and natural feel of the photos on Wandermore’s website which is exactly why we booked them in the first place. Book Wandermore!!!”
- Ali & Rich
“Michelle was an absolute DREAM to work with! We initially chose Wandermore for the amazing light and colours in their photos, as well as the more candid/playful style of their photos - we instantly fell in love with their photography style. But then we had the pleasure of getting to know Michelle! Not only did she make every aspect of her communication personal and intentional in the best of ways, but she really took the time to understand who we were as individuals and as a couple. Michelle fully put us at ease during the entire process, including the lead-up - she consistently asked such important questions to really grasp the vision of our wedding weekend, and kept us on track in terms of developing the perfect timeline. On the days of the events, Michelle and Cesar were so kind and thoughtful and thoroughly professional, as well as so flexible when certain things needed to be adjusted at the last minute. When we received our sneak peeks, we cried tears of joy because of how beautiful the photos were. If you want super lovely, kind and insanely talented photographers for your wedding, work with Michelle and Cesar! It was the best decision we ever made!”
- Jahaan & Isham
“Working with Michelle and Cesar was amazing. We chose Wandermore initially because from our first conversation it was clear that Michelle's easygoing and bright demeanor paired with the experience and knowledge to make sure everything we needed would be captured would fit perfectly with what we needed on the wedding day. They were able to capture every important moment of our day in a way that felt so candid and genuine. Wandermore was so easy to work with and went above and beyond to capture our very large party and family, as well as the sprawling farm venue. We wanted someone who would balance photographing us and our small sweet interactions, as well as the beautiful landscape we chose, which Wandermore did perfectly. We especially loved our first look photos, catching all the excitement and nerves perfectly. We also worked with Michelle and Cesar for our engagement photos, which were just as perfect--specially the motion black and white shots. It was clear to us we made the right choice and if we had to do it all over again we wouldn't change a thing!”
- Helen & Justin
“Michelle and César were absolutely fabulous! We weren’t sure if it was going to rain on our big day, but Michelle came prepared with thoughtful backup plans for our pre-ceremony photos. But the rain held up and we ended up at a favorite spot of ours on a cloudy day, and the photos turned out stunning—even better than I imagined.
They made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which really shows in the photos. Nothing felt stiff or overly posed—just natural, beautiful moments captured effortlessly. And that was our experience throughout the whole evening. We love how they captured our special day with our friends and families. The photos they captured are really special and they are a dream team to work with! Their online portal was super easy to use, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free from start to finish.
Can’t recommend them enough—exactly the kind of photographer duo you want by your side on your wedding day! They feel like friends that just want to get your best sides and smiles.”
