Let's talk deets

packages, how I work, what I offer


*deep breath* 

Weddings are not about the photos.
THERE I said it.

I used to think that they were. But after being a wedding photographer for 10+ years, I've learned that what matters at the end of the day is how you feel when you look at your wedding photos. I want you to live in the freaking moment on your wedding day. Party the heck out of it. And I'll deliver photos that document all those truthful moments so you can feel what that day felt like again and again. 

I'm super big on having a relationship with the people I take photos of (weird right?). Let's connect, grab coffee, get on a video call and get to know each other. I'm here to serve and support you every step of the way. 



first I need to get something off my chest...

Let's chat!

I can't wait to hear from you!

Let's kickstart this beautiful journey with an initial consultation, where we can connect over coffee or set up a video chat. It's a moment for us to get to know each other better, to understand your unique vision and requirements for your special day. Sharing ideas, dreams, and preferences in this relaxed atmosphere can make a significant difference in ensuring that your wedding photography experience is a seamless and enjoyable one. After all, your trust in me is essential, and this initial meeting helps in building that trust.

Once we've connected and established a solid understanding of your wedding day vision, it's time for the wedding prep phase. I'll stay in touch, providing support and guidance as we move closer to the big day. I'll send over a detailed questionnaire, ensuring that every important aspect is covered. We'll then meet up to meticulously plan and create a timeline for your wedding day. This timeline is crucial to making sure that everything runs smoothly, and we can capture every significant moment without a hitch. From the ceremony to the reception, we'll have everything planned out, leaving no room for stress or uncertainty. This preparation step ensures that we are well-prepared to capture your day in a way that tells your unique love story.

The editing process is where the magic truly happens. After capturing those special moments from your wedding, I pour my heart and soul into the editing phase. My goal is to make sure your photos are nothing short of 'chef's kiss' perfect. This involves meticulous attention to detail, color correction, retouching, and enhancing the images to bring out the emotions and beauty of your day. Each photo goes through a careful selection process to ensure that it reflects the essence and emotions of your wedding day. The editing process is where we transform raw images into cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

After the editing process, you can expect your full gallery of beautifully edited photos within 30 days. It's like a second 'date night' where you get to relive the magic and emotions of your wedding day all over again. You'll receive a collection of images that encapsulate the love, joy, and unique moments of your special day. These photos are yours to cherish, share with loved ones, and look back on for years to come. My aim is to provide you with not just photographs but with an experience that allows you to rekindle the emotions and memories of your wedding day whenever you want. It's a perfect way to wrap up our journey together and give you something to hold onto forever.

Weddings

To me, wedding photos are not about perfection. They are 100% about the true, unplanned, simple, beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces of your story that all come together to make your wedding photo gallery. 

You'll find me going with the flow of the day, making friends with your family, and letting things happen as I document them. I can promise you that you'll have photos in your gallery that will make you laugh and cry. We won't be "re-creating" moments and we won't be faking anything. Your wedding is not about the photos, it's about the celebration of two people committing themselves to each other. And you better believe, I'll be there to document the heck out of that.

starting at $3,500

I recognize that your wedding is a deeply personal experience. That's why I offer customizable packages that are designed to meet your specific needs and desires.

This is for any non-wedding photos. Have an anniversary you want to celebrate with photos?  Somebody is graduating? Your family is growing up too fast? I'm here for it. 

Most people feel uncomfortable in photos (same dude), so it's my goal to make you comfortable, get you moving, and to have more fun than you expected in photos. We'll do that by doing something you love with the people you love.

What's that second photographer good for? 

Do you travel to us/our destination wedding?

Do you offer prints and albums? 

I’m always ready to hop in whatever form of transportation is cheapest and fastest and try to make keep it reasonable for you. The first 100 miles are my gift to you. After that $0.60 a mile should cover it. After 500 miles the rate is based on how much flights + rental cars cost (but I’m a sucker for finding a good deal - never fear). Accommodation for the nights before and after the wedding are also required if I’m visiting you from out of town. Let’s figure out the way to make this work for all of us!

In 2024 I’ll be going to: Switzerland, Chicago, Colorado, Indiana, The UK + Ireland, Eastern Europe, Greece, and more so hit me up and I’ll go wherever you’ll take me!

DO YOU TRAVEL TO US/OUR DESTINATION WEDDING?

Do you offer prints and albums? 

I loving having a second photographer with me for a couple of reasons. First, I want to make sure not a moment is missed on your day. Having a second person there guarantees that I won’t miss an angle, moment, or something on the other side of the venue (I’m fast, but not that fast) Secondly, I’m a stickler for backups. aside from the backups I keep on my own camera, having another person makes sure that even if the worst were to happen, another professional photographer will have captured those precious moments and has them safe in hand. Third, it’s amazing to have a team of professionals there to make every moment go smoothly and be the most fun.

Do you offer prints and albums? 

I’ve never had a couple come to me saying that they are models (but they always end up looking like they are…which is highly suspicious if you ask me). The goal is for you to look 100% like you. If you’re engaged, it’ll be a date night with your honey (and me, a professional third wheel). Any time you’re in front of my camera I’ll ask you questions, having you move, talk and laugh with your babe, and maybe even roll down a hill. By the end you’ll probably think I’m crazy and your photos will be totally you.

Dude, I’m a firm believer in getting your photos printed. Once I send you your online gallery after your session you'll have access to a personal print shop where you can order prints and albums. Super easy and super recommended.

“I loved having Mackenzie as our photographer because she’s so good at allowing the couple to be in the space. It doesn’t feel so much as someone taking pictures of you, but more like an experience that you get to have with your person. Looking back on those pictures helps me to fully remember my special day, because Lord knows otherwise I wouldn’t remember it. The pictures are so in the moment that I feel like I’m back in that day. And we got SO MANY pictures out of the experience. Thank you so much! We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else at the wedding to take pictures.”

"We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else at the wedding to take pictures."

-Caleb and Sarah

“Mackenzie was super sneaky, and captured when my now husband popped the question to me. She captured the shock, the laughter, the tears, and all of the wonderful emotions in between. Afterwords, we walked downtown for the rest of our photo shoot, with all of the lovey-dovey emotions flowing strong. I would have Mackenzie at every major life event if it were possible. She captures memories with a sort of vibrancy that allows him to live on forever without ever diminishing

"I would have Mackenzie at every major life event if it were possible."

-Spencer and Victoria

"Mackenzie made our photo experience a memorable one. We were so lucky to have found a brilliant photographer who cares so much about our happiness and portraying it within her photography. She gave great direction, made us feel comfortable and kept us laughing the entire time. We left the engagement session feeling high on life and full of love. Would recommend her to anyone time and time again!"

"We left the engagement session feeling high on life and full of love."

-Felipe and Mackenize

"You did an incredible job and we would hire you again and again, you killed the mood and took beautiful photos with changing weather and lighting conditions and we loved ya! You were so flexible and chill and didn't make us feel bad for making last minute changes and not knowing what we were doing"

"we would hire HER again and again."

-Carissa and Cameron

"Mackenzie was incredible in helping us plan the day! I didn’t have a wedding planner, so all of the timeline and flow of the day was all me. But Mackenzie was so helpful in thinking about logistics and getting details I would have absolutely forgotten. And then the day she helped give time reminders and make sure everyone was where they needed to be, it was so amazing!!! Absolutely, beyond my expectations! She captured the energy and the love of the day with such style and class! The photos also felt real, not posed or manufactured. There was this beautiful authenticity that shines in each one and she captured special moments I wouldn’t have thought of! She listened to us and captured special unscripted moments. Please book Mackenzie for all your photo shoots and events! She brings a love of the craft and makes you feel special, as well as comfortable in the space and with her. Couldn’t have imagined having anyone else capture our day."

"Absolutely, beyond my expectations!"
