I believe weddings are lived in moments, not poses.
My job isn’t just to take pictures, it’s to feel your day with you, to notice the little sparks of joy and love that fly under the radar, and to turn them into memories that last forever. The experience I offer is crafted to give you the freedom to simply be present, while I capture the story that’s uniquely yours.
My goal is to give you that same feeling: photos that make you pause, smile, and remember exactly how it felt to be there. Every glance, every laugh, every small touch is part of your story, and it deserves to be remembered.
I’ve always loved flipping through old photo albums, holding the quiet, ordinary moments that become unforgettable.

" Makayla was phenomenal in all aspects. She was timely, personable, responsive, and is extremely talented. Having her on my big day was a huge relief and took one more thing off my plate because she gave out directions to us and the whole wedding party and ran the show!! I followed her lead on all the posing and suggestions and my photos turned out beautiful and captured everything I was looking for.
I highly recommend her if you're looking for a wedding photographer! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

" Makayla was an absolute DREAM to work with and hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she brought the best energy fun, upbeat, and genuinely excited to be there with us. She made everything feel so natural and stress free, and was always down for any ideas we had. She kept the day flowing smoothly, made us laugh, and captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Her passion truly shows in her work, and we felt so comfortable in front of the camera because of her. If you want a photographer who feels like a friend, hypes you up, and delivers stunning photos, Makayla is your person! "

" We loved working with Makayla!!!! She was such a balancing presence on our wedding day, seamlessly working behind the scenes, coordinating with vendors, and communicating as needed. I always received my preplanning and timeline communication early and she was very proactive on asking what our expectations were. Dealing with multiple vendors, I will say she was by far the easiest and most helpful to have on my big day! At times she helped cue my other vendors.. like I said, she was a great!! My mother said for weeks after our wedding, “I just loved your photographer”…moms always know!!
She gave us some previews immediately after, and we received our full album early. I loved every single photo and appreciated her incorporating our “style” to our album. She captured every shot that we asked for. I highly recommend using Makayla for your photography needs, you won’t be upset! "

Your wedding day isn’t a checklist.
It’s a collection of moments that will live long after the music ends and the last guest leaves. I focus on capturing how it feels: the quiet glances, the laughter that bubbles up unprompted, the small, intimate gestures you might almost forget.
I want you to remember the calm between the chaos, the joy in the in-between, and the love that surrounds you. My role is simple: to move alongside you with care, gently guiding only when it helps, so that every hug, every tear, and every smile is preserved naturally.
This isn’t just photography. It’s a chance to relive the feeling of your wedding day every time you look back.
