Hello my name is Makayla and I am a California based destination wedding and elopement photographer (MN based as of July 2026). My objective is to capture your love story and to bring your dream day to life! Let’s capture these special moments to keep for a lifetime together.

Awarded Best of Zola
“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Makayla and could not be happier with the results. Makayla has a beautiful eye for photography and light. Makayla captured both our wedding and our engagement photos. She was professional, quick to respond and willing to try different types of styles in our engagement photos so we could choose a style we wanted for our wedding. I would and have recommended Makayla to friends and family. Wedding planning can be expensive but I think Makayla is worth every penny especially if you are doing a destination wedding. Overall I think what sets Makayla apart from other photographers was her complete respect for what we wanted as a couple, both for privacy in what we wanted featured on her accounts, and also how we wanted photography to be incorporated into our wedding day (giving us the space during vows and not always feeling like it was a photo shoot). She was also honest throughout the process in what she could and couldn't do regarding lighting and weather and was one of the few photographers that we talked to that had clear price points on her website that you can find without asking! If you are on the fence with other photographers I recommend choosing Makayla. We are so happy with our photos and that we hired her.”

Hi, I'm Dennis, the photographer and filmmaker behind B4M Photography & Film, based in Redding, Northern California, and happy to travel. My style is warm, cinematic, and timeless: soft light, real emotion, and the in-between moments most people forget are happening. I want your gallery to feel the way your day actually felt. B4M is full-service, I shoot and film weddings of every size, from big celebrations to quiet elopements, and my partner Jess can write and officiate your ceremony, so it all lives under one roof. If that sounds like your kind of person, I'd love to hear your story.

“We had been to four weddings that year and every gallery looked the same bright, flat, sort of weightless. Ours does not. There is actual depth and shadow in these, a warmth in the skin tones, and the reception frames have this grain to them that makes the whole night feel like something we remember rather than something we scrolled past. We have prints from it in three rooms of the house, and guests still stop at the one from the last dance and ask who shot it”

Vargas Visuals 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Palo Cedro, CA

I have been doing hobby photography for 10 plus years. My interest started when I was in high school, mainly focusing on portrait photography. As I got older, my interests grew into landscape, sports, weddings, events and just about everyday life. While my interests grew, I knew I wanted to make this more than a hobby for myself. I am a wife, mom, a family girl and I believe not every moment happens perfectly. Sometimes the best moments are loud, messy, emotional, silly, spontaneous and completely unplanned. And those are the moments I love to capture.

“We had an incredible experience with Vargas Visuals from start to finish. The photographer was responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, she took her time to make sure every detail was perfect before capturing each shot, and it really paid off in the final images. Her work exceeded what we expected, and the photos are absolutely stunning. We felt so comfortable around her, which helped us relax and just enjoy the moment. We'd recommend Vargas Visuals to any couple looking for someone who truly cares about getting it right.”

Look... I want to be as honest as possible with anybody that looks at this page. I am an amazing photographer and I've been on this platform for a little over a year now.

His expertise came to light when shooting photos and EVERYTHING was a photo opportunity!

“Unmatched, epic, insanely talented artist and masterpiece! We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Julia Goldberg. From the very first email, zoom meetings, to the moment she arrived at our hotel the morning of our wedding to the very last minute eight hours later, she was the definition of professionalism, talent, and calm energy. Julia gave my husband and I our dream wedding day in every sense of the word. Her attention to detail, direction, and posing skills made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and she somehow managed to keep everything running smoothly while still making it so fun and natural. She was an absolute ROCKSTAR the entire day, anticipating moments before they happened and capturing them so beautifully and effortlessly. When working with her, you feel as if you’ve known her your whole life. Beyond her impressive talent, Julia is just an amazing person to be around. She is personable, friendly, kind, funny, and so outgoing—it honestly felt like we had a close friend by our side all day. That kind of presence made such a difference and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And the sneak peek photos… omg we were BEYOND blown away and I cried tears of joy and am still at a loss for words looking at them everyday! Receiving them in less than 48 hours was already impressive, but the photos themselves were beyond anything we could have imagined—stunning, romantic, emotional, and perfectly capturing the magic of our day. She is worth every penny and more! From the day I found her Instagram and website, I knew there was no other photographer I could use for our wedding. Whether you’re getting married at the iconic San Francisco City Hall, on a Safari in Africa, or under the northern lights, she has the itinerary mapped out to a T and gives you the resources to make your day absolutely seamless while always keeping you in the loop and making you feel important and valued. It was truly a dream come true to have Julia as our wedding photographer. We could not have had a more treasured and memorable day without her, and we will be forever grateful. 10000000/10 experience and I want to get married over and over just to have her shoot us again! Thank you again, Julia-you made my wedding dreams come true️”

“Madison's not just someone with a camera and capability, she's a photographer with a natural good eye as well. We appreciated her clean subject alignments/angles and more true-to-color editing and were very impressed by the pictures we got back from reception, where we had pretty complex indoor lighting: A whole wall of windows behind us most of the time and then dark brown ballroom lighting into the evening (@Loews Hotel). Not to mention, we asked her to minimize using flash as a personal preference and she was so receptive and remembering of that too. Communicating with her was like talking to a friend. She was responsive, engaged, and inclusive. Could go on and on, but her images speak for themselves because she is consistent both in her photography style as well as personality!”

Based in the Reno & Lake Tahoe area, but travel encouraged. I first picked up a camera a decade ago, but it’s taken time to cultivate the relationship I have with photography today. My passion lies in capturing honest moments & documenting stories that feel real & personal. Whether it’s the joy of a wedding, excitement of an engagement, or intimacy of a quiet elopement, my goal is to create images that reflect genuine connections. When I look through the lens, the world seems to stand still, giving me the chance to catch my breath & find beauty in the moment. It allows me to create timeless images that celebrate your story & feel authentic.

“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.”
