I grew up in South Jersey about 25 minutes outside of Philadelphia and moved to Boston after college for a [short lived 😂] job in neuroscience research that I left to pursue photography. I currently live in Boston with my partner, Cole 🥰, but my family lives in NYC, which is why you will see a ton of work there as well. (It's also why there are no travel fees for NYC weddings!)
My approach to photography is driven by curiosity, connection, and a desire to play. Both professionally and personally, I am drawn to people who value authenticity and unabashed expression of self.
OWNER & Lead photographer
Lindsey “Lensy” Michelle
(she/her)
When I’m not taking photos, you can find me rock climbing 🧗🏼♀️, dancing bachata 💃🏻, or shopping for new wardrobe additions. My current fashion faves are bold pieces from Damson Madder, Camper, Olivia Rubin, and other brands that exude "spunky grade school teacher" meets "practical maximalism."
Lindsey & Jullian
The duo!
Although my name’s on the marquee, “Lensy Michelle” has really been more of a duo since 2023. It took Jullian and I photographing about three weddings together to realize that we had hit on something really special. Our dynamic is comically like a husband and wife duo (so we've been told!), except we’re not husband and wife. 🤣 What we are is best friends who are better together – and we prefer to work that way for everything except the smallest of events. So, for almost all full-day weddings, you have the option to hire BOTH myself and Jullian as a team of two co-lead photographers.
Jullian is also available to book as your lead photographer on dates when I am already booked OR if you’re interested in more accessible price options. Please reach out for more info about either of these options!

FAQ
My actual name is “Lindsey,” BUT since “Lindsey Michelle” was already a pretty popular name on the internet, I had to think of something a little more creative for my internet moniker when I made it almost a decade ago.👍🏼
“Lensy” is a (very bad) dad-joke about camera LENSes and how
"LENS-y" sounds like "LINS-y" 🙃 ...ANYWAY, I've been saying this for so long there's no un-doing it. Truly, you can call anything except "Michelle" which is absolutely not my name!
For my digital work, I use a combination of R5 and R6 Canon mirrorless cameras. For 35mm film, my main camera is a Canon 1V + I have a bunch of other film cameras that I switch up regularly.
For most of the day, I have a 28-70mm f/2 on one camera and an 85mm f/1.2 on the other. And for the dance floor, my 15-35mm f2.8 SLAYS!
If you'd like to go on a nerd journey with me about gear, I am happy to jump in. But I won't subject you to that here.

Who wants photos of their drunk uncle from ~ the side ~ of the dance floor? (Not me!) My approach to most of your wedding day is to match the energy in each moment. So, when you move, I move, and when you dance badly, I dance... worse!
