About 1828 Collective
1828 Collective
Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.
I specialize in candid imagery and documenting the inspiring and little moments as they unfold. If you're a fun and laid back couple, I'm the photographer for you! I love working with my unique couples to make them feel amazing and confident in front of the camera to remember their day well.

Wedding photographer
We were recently married in June and had McKenna as our photographer and absolutely LOVED her work!! First off, communication was so easy throughout the whole process. She was so sweet and accommodating to everything. We did our engagement photos with her and she drove all the way from Charlotte to Duke! Leading up to the wedding, we had a few phone calls to plan logistics and she was so organized it make the whole process so easy! On the wedding day I didn’t have to worry about anything photo related. She made sure to capture every moment we wanted without putting any added stress on us. If you’re looking for a photographer who also hypes you up to make the process more fun, look no further! Can’t recommend her enough!

LOOK NO FURTHER!!
McKenna was truly the best photographer we could've asked for!!! She captured our day beautifully, and she was a pleasure to work with!! She made us feel so comfortable, and it felt like having a bestie around all day! 3 She made sure we were on schedule the entire day, and her attention to detail was amazing!! We did not have to worry about a thing having her as our photog! Her pricing was very fair compared to other quotes we received, and we are so happy with the quality of her work and the moments she captured! Look no further for your wedding photographer :)

The Best photographer
We are beyond grateful to have had McKenna as our wedding photographer. She captured every moment of our day so beautifully, with a mix of candid and posed shots that truly tell the story of our wedding. McKenna is so sweet and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The quality of her work is STUNNING!! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to create memories that last a lifetime.

Amazing!!
I worked with McKenna yesterday for a wedding and I cannot say enough good things about her! She was kind, friendly, and easy to work with. She made the couple feel relaxed and it seemed like they enjoyed every second when they were with her. I’m counting down the days until I can see the final product. Look no further than 1828collective for your wedding photo needs!

Best photographer!!
McKenna was the best!! The photography packages offered are robust and fairly priced. We picked McKenna for her vision and authentic/candid photo style. When we met, we knew we had made the right choice. McKenna is such a kind, friendly person who immediately puts you at ease. She was so easy to work with and made my husband and I feel so confident and comfortable during our engagement shoot and throughout the wedding. At the wedding, her assistant Bliss was also INCREDIBLE and highly recommended! McKenna is quick to reply to communication. I am so in love with the photos she has given me so far. I can't wait to see the rest!!
