Michele Milkey Photographer | About

I'm an Atlanta based wedding photographer born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida! Photography is something that I've always been passionate about... I guess you could say it runs in my blood. My grandpa "Pops" Milkey was a wedding photographer for many years and owned his own studio named Bob-Syl Studio. I grew up listening to my dad tell me stories about how he would help my Pops in the dark room developing wedding film. He remembers shooting weddings weekend after weekend and absolutely loved it. Dad was so passionate and talented that when he joined the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War that he was given orders to work as a Marine Photographer.As I was growing up I always loved taking photos and editing on my computer. I worked on my high school's yearbook team and photographed almost every game and event our school had. I put the camera down for a few years when I went to undergrad at Florida State University and then my J.D. at Mercer University School of Law. I ended up in Atlanta in 2019 and have been enjoying every minute since. I've loved practicing law, but photography will always have a special place in my heart. One of the reasons I love being behind the camera so much is that I get to capture images that will last you a lifetime. We all know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words," right? We'll I'd love to be a part of writing your story and capturing those photos you'll look at for years to come!
