Hello, I'm Mikayla
Wedding Photographer
I am a wife to my very best friend and mother to three beautiful children who have completely reshaped the way I see the world. At heart, I’m an old soul — happiest wandering through antique shops, collecting stories from forgotten things, or wrapped in a blanket on the front porch with coffee in hand, watching my babies play.
I grew up a city girl, surrounded by movement and noise, but after becoming a mother, I found myself longing for something slower, softer, more intentional. I wanted to savor life instead of rushing through it. Soon after our first child was born, we traded the city for the countryside, and during that transition - I picked up a camera.
What began as a desire to hold onto fleeting moments became something far more meaningful. Photography gave me a way to preserve the feeling of a season of life — the tenderness, the movement, the love woven into ordinary moments. My work is deeply inspired by nostalgia, connection, and the beauty found in slowing down long enough to truly see one another and every detail in-between.
I take great pride in creating images that feel timeless and alive — photographs that become a pause button for the people who step in front of my camera, allowing them to return to the moments that mattered most for years to come.
 
My Why & how it began
 
I first picked up a camera because I was desperate to hold onto the passing beauty of motherhood. The way tiny hands reach for yours, the purity of childhood laughter drifting through a home, the quiet in-between moments that somehow become the ones you ache for most. This became so dear to me as a new mother in 2017. Time moves so quickly, and photography became my way of savoring it — of preserving the feeling of a season before it slipped away.
What started as documenting my own family slowly turned into photographing friends and loved ones, which eventually led me to my very first wedding. And somewhere in the middle of that day, watching not only the love between the couple but the overwhelming adoration surrounding them from family and lifelong friends, something in me shifted.
I realized photography was never just about images for me — it was about legacy, connection, and remembrance.
There is something incredibly sacred about being entrusted with someone’s most meaningful moments. To quietly document the tears in a father’s eyes, the way two people reach for each other without thinking, the carefully chosen details that hold so much significance — it is an honor I never take lightly.
What continues to pull me back, even on the hard days, is knowing these moments matter deeply. Long after the flowers have wilted and the music has faded, these photographs become a way for people to return to the feeling of it all. To relive not only how the day looked, but how it felt.
And to me, that is everything
As of 2025 i have had the pleasure and honor of documenting over 200 weddings.
My Style
 
My work is an editorial interpretation of love stories and life’s most meaningful moments — an elegant, timeless reflection of genuine connection. I am deeply drawn to the beauty of emotion in its most honest form.
My style blends refined artistry with heartfelt storytelling, creating imagery that feels both luxurious and deeply personal.
I strive to capture moments in a way that feels effortless yet intentional — preserving not only how a moment looked, but how it felt to live within it.
At the heart of my work is a genuine love for love itself. The kind that is soft, enduring, passionate, and real. Every image I create is rooted in the desire to document connection in its most authentic form, creating photographs that feel timeless for generations to come.
Kind words from
Chelsea
