Project overview

Michelle Garcia

Michelle Garcia Studio blends fine-art sensibility with documentary honesty, and her new site reflects that balance: cinematic, tactile, and quietly playful. We translated Michelle’s love of analog film and handmade details into a clean, image-forward design—full-bleed galleries, variable-tile portfolios, and bespoke illustrations woven into paper-textured layouts and embossed treatments. The homepage acts as an invitation into her work, while curated project pages let each wedding breathe with carefully considered sequencing and lightbox viewing.

Functionally, the site was built for ease and longevity: mobile-first responsiveness, optimized galleries, and a simple system for adding new projects (we provided a Canva GIF template and a short tutorial to streamline updates). We also handled content coordination—copywriting, image curation, and SEO setup—so Michelle can focus on photographing stories while the site supports discovery and bookings.

The result is a website that feels unmistakably Michelle: intimate without being twee, editorial without feeling distant, and practical enough to grow with her business. It positions her as a storyteller first—one who crafts timeless imagery for couples who value authenticity, texture, and a little bit of off-beat magic.
