I'M MAKAYLA

I was 16 when my family hosted an exchange student for the summer. We became instant besties and somehow turned everyday into a photoshoot. I was gifted a camera for my birthday and after that you wouldn't see me without a camera.

The first years of photography involved a lot of trial and error, but as time went on I started to take things more and more seriously, realizing there was more to photography than I thought! The concept quickly became a dream for me. I was working at a surf shop at the time when I met a local wedding photographer looking to bring on a assistant. Thus my love for weddings truly began.

Something that I value in general and in my work is human connection. As simple as that sounds, for me, I believe there is nothing better and weddings create the perfect outlet for just that. From a 300+ guest count to 2 people eloping at the courthouse, I have been immersed in the wedding world for 6+ years now and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
