    STUNNING photographer

    Omg. Makayla is amazing. She was one of the first vendors I found! Photo and makeup were VERY important to me. I looked at her portfolio and it really had all the styling that I was looking for and she seemed really versatile. I thought I would find a photographer easily, but then once I started looking at portfolios I was a lot more particular than I realized I would be. I do design/photo art direction so maybe that's why. Makayla and I connected over the phone and I instantly liked her. She is so sweet. A photographers personality is so important. It turned out she got married at the same venue! Small world! That just made me feel like it was meant to be, also a perk that she knew the grounds really well!  We also did our engagement shoot with Mikayla, and she totally followed the styling vision I had, and recommended the location (we shot in Old sac, great choice, btw). We have some photos I will cherish for a lifetime.  During the wedding Makayla was working her butt off!!! She went ABOVE AND BEYOND.  She got us a gift (omg so thoughtful and sweet!) She was hustling, running all over the place getting ALL the shots. I had a bad wedding coordinator and poor Makayla made up for her slack. She put the boutonnieres on the groomsmen and dried the bouquets for us ladies. NOT her job but she did it anyway because the coordinator was MIA! She also was sometimes the only person I hired around, and when we weren't on schedule I was like "where is the coordinator?!" Poor Makayla was helping do the coordinator's job!! I felt so bad later and just told her sorry and thank you and she was completely professional and knew I was NOT freaking out because of her. Also I forgot to grab my bouquet as I walked down the aisle and Makayla RAN to go get it/get some one to grab it for me. Literally my hero, and again, not her responsibility!! She just cared THAT much.  We just got our sneak peeks for the wedding back from her and oh my goodness, I cried. The photos are STUNNING. I want them hung up all over my house. This isn't even all of them!! I cannot recommend her enough. Also the portal system you use for sharing out photos is a really nice system. I also shared an album of photos ahead of time and she remembered/ had the photos for reference of all the shots I wanted that I was forgetting about on the day of. Also she got some great dance floor pics! I feel like the nighttime shots and the indoor ones are just as gorgeous as the daytime ones!!  If I ever need photoshoots for any life events, or if I ever have anyone needing a recommendation for a photographer, I will 100% refer them to Makayla. All my bridesmaids (which are designers/art directors from old jobs) were like wow she has the eye! The groomsmen thought Makayla was the coordinator. That's how much she was helping compared to the actual coordinator. I will add some of the photos so you can see how STUNNING THEY ARE. Even from the sneak peeks I'm having a hard time narrowing down which shots to post! Her work speaks for itself!! Thank you for making my day run smoothly and for photos I will cherish forever.

    We loved working with Makayla!

    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.

You should definitely book as soon as you have your wedding date and venue! I know in some circumstances this may be difficult due to last minute decisions! I am booking out to the next year, but I am always taking last minute inquiries! I may be able to fit you in my schedule so always reach out!
I love to call my posing style candid/posed. I know that sounds contradictory, but I love to give fun prompts so it feels very natural, while capturing raw candid smiles, laughs, etc. I will also do normal posing as well!
First let’s chat on the phone, get more information about your big day and get to know each other! Secondly, I will write up a contract if we decide to move forward. Thirdly you pay your 25% retainer and then your date is secure! (retainer may be more if it is a destination wedding for travel expenses)
I offer flat rates for my wedding packages in the U.S., making it easier for you to say yes to your dream day! The prices you see are the prices you pay!
6-7 hour packages receive 50% off an engagement session and 8+ hour sessions receive a free session! (travel costs apply if outside Redding, CA)
