Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I was married in March of 2005 in Laplace. We used Michelle Photography from Destrahan. She had the best price that we could afford due to it was both our second marriage.

We went to her house and signed a contact for the $595.00 package. Michelle was paid in full before the wedding. The day of the wedding she showed up late at the hotel and took very few pictures of my husband and party and the church.

I was not very impressed with the pictures. My family ordered pictures and we picked out our package. We have not yet received any pictures. We have spoken to Michelle in the past and she has moved to Florida. She now goes by her maiden name of michelle powell. she said that our pictures would be on the way in about two weeks but that was 6 months ago.

She had an excuse for everything. The one time my husband finally got in touch with her she cursed him out because he woke her up.

We have recently sent her a certified letter and it was returned to us. Her cell phone numbers have been cancelled and she blocks her number when she calls. Which has been over 6 months ago.

I am too the point that I am ready to set a lawsuit against her for stealing our money. I would like to get other people who have been ripoff by Michelle in this lawsuit with us. If you have been ripoff by Michelle and would like to receive your pictures please contact me at (((email address redacted - see below))). Maybe together we can all get the one thing that we can never retake. OUR WEDDING PICTURES.

 Due to hurricane Katrina i lost half of my equipment and had to close my business at that time of August 2005. I no longer had a location to operate from therefor i had no choice but to close my business at that time.
