Elopement + Microwedding photography Experiences

Documentary-Style Coverage. Planning Support Included. Travel Worldwide.

The best day of your life shouldn’t feel like a performance.

There’s a version of your wedding day where everything is coordinated and catered and perfectly on schedule… and somehow it passes in a blur and just doesn’t feel like you.

And then there’s this:

Just the two of you and your most important people. Exploring somewhere that you’ve always dreamed of going, exchanging teary vows and being present in every single moment. A day that moves at your pace, in your direction, with nothing you didn’t choose.

That’s the kind of wedding I’m here for.

What I bring to your day:

I’m a documentary photographer. That means I’m not here to pose you through a photoshoot, I’m here to follow your story.

And it starts the moment we book together. I’ll help you find your location, figure out the logistics, and build a day that’s designed around what actually matters to you. By the time your wedding morning arrives, the only thing left on your list is getting married.

I’ve been photographing weddings for a decade, so when your day comes, I know when you need a little gentle guidance or when it’s time to disappear into the background. And because of that, your entire experience feels relaxed, natural, and most importantly, real.

with me, your day is yours to:

Be fully present in every moment.

Create a celebration that truly reflects the two of you.

Exchange vows while you explore your dream location

Spend the entire day with the one person who matters most.

let’s start planning

What you’ll feel when you open your gallery:

“We were really there!”

That’s the difference between a photoshoot and a day that’s been documented: images that show what you looked like versus images that put you back inside the moment. The light on that particular morning. All of the emotions on your partner’s face when they hear your vows. The quiet moments after, when it is finally real.

That’s what a documentary gallery feels like. And it’s exactly the kind I create.

McKenna is an incredibly talented photographer and an even BETTER person to work with.

You don’t realize that the one person, besides your partner, that you will be with the most on your wedding day is your photographer! McKenna was exactly who I needed by my side. She captured all of our beautiful moments and supported us throughout our wedding day and through the ENTIRE planning process. McKenna was with us from beginning to end! I would recommend her to any couples looking for exceptional photos that really capture their personality. Thank you McKenna for giving us photos and memories that will last a lifetime.

Inquire to begin

A few things to know before you reach out:

I limit the number of intimate weddings + elopements I take on in order to make sure that I can give each of my couples the best experience possible. This way, I can give each of my couples my all through every step of their process. I book dates on a first-come-first-serve basis, so if you’re interested, reach out as soon as possible to reserve your date!

Because you won’t be performing for a camera. Your day is built around things you actually do and places you actually want to be. When you’re focused on each other, you forget I’m there. That’s the whole approach. You won’t feel the stiff discomfort of ‘posing,’ because the entire process is based on you, the moment, and your relationship, so the photos feel natural.

Travel is included in every elopement collection, worldwide or within the USA. No surprise fees. (If your day involves out-of-the-box travel activities, like a helicopter, boat, or hot air balloon, I just need a seat.)

Travel for destination engagement sessions are an add-on cost based on location, and you can get discounts if we plan around a location where I’ll already be traveling to.

Both work. A micro wedding with your closest people can be just as intimate and personal as private elopement with just the two of you. We’ll build the day around whatever feels right for you.

The average investment for wedding collections is $9600. I offer payment plans to feel more digestible and align with your budget. I know it’s a premium investment, which includes months of planning support, a seasoned photographer who travels to you, your full gallery, and a custom album design. Most couples tell me afterward it was the best decision they made for their wedding.

Honestly, some of my favorite galleries came from days nobody planned for. Rain, snow, fog… it usually just adds to the story. If conditions genuinely need a change of plan, we’ll have a backup in place well before your day.

You’ll receive a preview gallery of at least 20 images within 1 week of your wedding, and your full gallery within 8 weeks. Rush turnaround is available as an add-on to any collection.

Yes! I offer 35mm film as an add-on for both photoshoots and wedding days.

Ready to make it real?

You’ve been thinking about this for a while. The next step is simple: reach out, tell me a little about your vision, and I will get back to you with all of the details about my collections. Then, we’ll set up a zoom call to figure out what your day could look like.

I take on a limited number of couples each year to make sure every one of them gets my full energy and creativity. Dates fill up fast, so if you have a date or a destination in mind, now is a good time to reach out.

Your story is waiting. Let’s go tell it.

We truly cannot recommend McKenna enough!

She was instrumental in making our wedding day everything we dreamed of, from helping us plan our timeline and locations, to offering thoughtful advice in the months leading up to the big day. On the day itself, she went above and beyond, even driving us between locations from our private vows to the ceremony and beyond.

As a couple who isn’t naturally comfortable in front of a camera, McKenna made us feel at ease. She struck the perfect balance between giving us space to be ourselves and offering gentle prompts to capture the most beautiful, authentic moments. She connected so well with our families, seamlessly capturing a mix of intimate portraits and candid shots with our loved ones.

If you’re planning a micro wedding or elopement, especially in a natural setting, there is truly no better person to document your day. McKenna captured one of our favorite landscapes with such heart and skill, and her genuine excitement for her work shines through in every photo. Thank you again, McKenna—we’re so grateful!
