“WE ARE AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA” – SAID EVERY COUPLE EVER
Wanna know a secret?
How your photos turn out have nothing to do with always being in front of a camera. Actually, it’s all about how you feel in the moment.
You want the real moments and raw emotion captured to look back on – the sparkle in your eyes and the bursting smiles that show off the authentic, in-love couple that you are. The first step is to plan a kick-ass wedding day. And when you are out there adventuring with the love of your life, awesome photos that tell your story will follow.
here, you’ll find images that are…
soulful CANDID documentary
photojournalistic EARTHY adventurous
EMOTIONAL timeless
Because I know what matters most on your wedding day…
The most important part of your wedding day is you. Your experience with your partner is everything. The day is not about getting the perfect photograph for a magazine-spread. It’s about having an amazing adventure with your partner as you commit your lives to one another. When you hire me as a photographer, your day, your joy and your memories will always come first.

MY DOCUMENTARY-STYLE APPROACH
DOCUMENTARY-STYLE PHOTOGRAPHY
You two are already pros at building fun and romantic memories together, so I’d much rather tag along and document the love.
This way, we can just hang out, take away the uncomfortable idea of posing for the camera, and have fun. This allows me to capture the genuine moments, the authentic laughs and the in-between kisses. I’d much rather give gentle guidance, such as “walk down this path holding hands” or “turn towards the sun and soak in the light.”
With a documentary-style approach to your elopement photography, your joy and connection will shine through your photos, and the fun memories from your adventure will be perfectly intact.
WHAT OTHER COUPLES HAVE TO SAY:
“We would highly recommend McKenna as your wedding photographer. I loved that she focuses on capturing authentic moments instead of staging them. The entire process felt seamless! You will see that she prioritizes the couple’s experience and beautiful photos result from it.
My husband usually hates getting his photo taken, but we both loved working with McKenna because it did not feel “forced” or awkward. So many people have commented that they do not typically see such genuine and natural photos. Our photos turned out beautiful, and every time I open our customized album, I get to relive some of the magic of our wedding day! It was such a pleasure working with McKenna!”
-Jessica + Trent
Could not be happier with the experience with McKenna!! She did our engagement photos and elopement photos and was so kind and fun to work with and is incredible at what she does. She listened to my vision for the photos and blew it out of the park!
We had so much fun through the process and she was so much help with researching a location to fit our needs! Could not recommend her more!!
-Kayla + Nathan
McKenna was such an integral part of our wedding day – we highly recommend her for any occasion. From the preparation in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, to the day of our wedding, and now months later, she continues to impress us with her professionalism and artistic and creative talent.
Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, and we have gotten so many compliments on how she captured our wedding. McKenna has an eye to detail that is unmatched, and her personal touch has meant the world to us. We can’t wait to use her again!
