Five Star Review: “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.”

Working with McKenna on our dream micro adventure wedding was everything we wanted and more!

“We knew when planning our wedding photography was almost as important if not as important to us as location and the select people we wanted along for the adventure. We were able to spilt our services over two days to include our small family friend ceremony and a day of adventuring on our favorite wildflower filled trail in Crested Butte Co.

Not only was Mckenna relaxed, focused, and so easy to work with, our pictures look like they belong in a magazine! We cannot wait to work with her again and her work is worth EVERY single penny and more!
P.S. her photo albums after your wedding day… that alone is one of the most magical things I have ever owned. Down to the detail. 100% my favorite part of her packages!”

5 Star Review: "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!"
