Nothing lasts forever,

but photographs do.

The cake will be eaten, your flowers will wilt, your dress will be put away, but photographs are forever.

I want you to look back at your photos in 30 years and remember the way you felt in that very moment. That first hug during your first look when all the nerves lift off your shoulders, wiping tears away during vows, getting low on the dancefloor with your pals- every moment, big or small, and everything in-between.

Your wedding photos will last forever and tell your unique love story as a couple. You’ll someday show your children and grandchildren your photos. Your wedding day is a big deal, it’s going to be one of the best days of your life. As your wedding photographer, I will show up and treat your family and friends as my own- I am truly honored and thrilled to be there.

My goal is to create an experience for you that is fun and seamless, and create art and memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

I like to keep things simple as your photographer. Capture all the important stuff, document the in-between and step in when I need to. But I'm not just a photographer. I am also a professional family wrangler, your hype woman, director, expert at making the little ones laugh, and most importantly- I'm there to capture the loving connection between you two & to create art and memories that look and feel like your love does.

I am constantly looking for meaningful moments when you think I'm not looking. I live for all the small moments and emotions that come along on a wedding day. You two wiping tears away during your first look, your parents beaming with love during the ceremony, you two getting low on the dance floor with all your favorite people. You can trust me to tell your love story in an authentic way.

FAQs

Should we do an engagement session?

Yes! I really think it's the best way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day! Plus you can form a relationship with your photographer, have photos for save the dates/website, and an excuse to dress up, have fun and have a date with your love!

How would you describe your style?

I have a documentary approach, but give direction and step in when needed. I love to keep things true to life- my editing style is natural and timeless.

How many photos do you send?

I send at least 100 photos per hour of coverage. So for an 8 hour day, this would be about 800 photos!

"We are so lucky Mikaela has been there for so many big moments for us."

My husband and I have now had our pictures taken by Mikaela 3 times. We have done an engagement shoot, our wedding and a maternity shoot. We have trusted her to capture some of the most important moments of our life. And I could never trust anyone more than her! Both my husband and I are not the best in front of a camera, we both get nervous and feel slightly awkward. She made us so comfortable and has always managed to get the most amazing photos. She traveled all the way out to an island off the coast for our wedding and was so happy to do so. Could not recommend her enough, 10 out of 10. We are so lucky she has been there for so many big moments for us. We can’t wait to take more pictures with her in the future.

"Mikaela was extremely easy to work with throughout the whole process"

A photographer was one of our top priorities when planning our wedding, and after much research, we couldn’t have been happier finding Mikaela. She makes you feel so comfortable right away, which was nice for two camera-shy people. Her personality actually made taking engagement photos fun, and the pictures came out naturally beautiful as a result. Besides her personality, she is an AMAZING photographer and captured our engagement and wedding perfectly. Mikaela was extremely easy to work with throughout the whole process and we were in constant communication with her through text or email. If she is available for your wedding date, don't wait, BOOK HER!
