Photographer
Hi, I’m Michelle Celeste — the photographer behind Meant To Love Stories. I’m based between Japan and Singapore, spending my time between both places, and documenting people as life unfolds in all its different seasons. I document people not just on their wedding day, but through the milestones that follow. Over time, I realised the moments that stay with us aren’t always the big ones — they’re the quiet, in-between moments we don’t plan for. I don’t believe in perfect poses or staged emotions. I believe in presence, in honesty, and in noticing the small things — the way someone looks at you, the way a moment lingers just a little longer than expected. When I’m not photographing, I’m usually somewhere between cities — chasing light, exploring new places, or simply slowing down and observing the world around me. A lot of how I see photography comes from how I experience life — quietly, curiously, and always paying attention to the small things.

1 Hour
A 60-second cinematic film crafted from your session — distilled from real moments, movement, and emotion. This is not a highlight reel. It is a memory, shaped into a short visual story. Each film is personally edited to reflect the feeling of your time — the in-between glances, the quiet pauses, the energy that cannot be captured in photos alone. Includes: 1 curated cinematic film (approx. 60 seconds) Shot and crafted during your booked session Designed as a standalone story piece Also, available as an add-on to any photography session.
Full Day
Designed for couples who want to document a chapter of their relationship in a meaningful location. I'd travel with you to document your time in a destination of your choice — whether it’s a pre-wedding trip, proposal, or simply a meaningful journey together. The focus is on real movement and interaction within the day, rather than staged direction. I work quietly in the background, observing and capturing moments as they naturally unfold. This is not about performing for the camera. It’s about remembering what the day actually felt like — the pace, the energy, and the in-between moments that make it yours. 📌 WHAT’S INCLUDED Pre-session consultation (themes, locations, outfits, timing, and flow) Full-day coverage at your chosen location(s) Curated selection of fully edited images (approx. 200–300 images, depending on the day) Delivered via private online link Physical photo book (Coffee Table Magazine) *Excludes flights and accommodation.

Michelle was a joy to work with for our graduation shoot! She was incredibly meticulous and accommodating throughout, and patient in guiding us through the shoot. We really appreciated how she gave us direction while still allowing our personalities and dynamic as a couple to come through naturally. She captured our chemistry in such a beautiful way, while adding her own creative flair to the photos. We’re so happy with how the photos turned out and would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a photographer who is both professional and lovely to work with!

Michelle was really friendly, she made our family feel comfortable very quickly and gave many suggestions along the way. The photoshoot experience was a fun one thanks to her! Prior to the photoshoot, she also patiently discussed with me regarding the possible photoshoot locations we could consider (by sharing her portfolios and experiences), advising me on props to prepare for the shoot and even helped to secure a last minute booking for a studio since it was raining on the photoshoot day. We’re very happy with how the photos turned out, the vibes met the brief 100%! :)

We engaged Michelle for our maternity photoshoot and were very pleased with how the photos turned out! We booked an hour’s session and ended up extending for another 30min, which we felt was a good duration for an outdoor photoshoot. Processing time for the photos was 4 weeks. Overall, we found the rates reasonable and a pleasant experience, thank you!

It was fun working with Michelle for our casual photoshoot with our dogs. She gave good cues for awkward beans like us. I really appreciate that she took time to recce the places we would like to shoot at days before the shoot to find the best spots. Thank you!

We did our pre-wed with Michelle in Japan, and had such a good time with her. She helped us feel comfortable and the photos turned out lovely despite our awkwardness in front of the camera. We used the photos during the wedding banquet and so many people said that the photos were very well taken (which we agree!). Thanks Michelle!
