the archive of real moments

Every photo here reflects a couple who chose

presence over performance.

I documented the moments exactly as they unfolded, not staged for the frame.

DESTINATION ELOPEMENTS | MICROWEDDINGS | COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY | TRAVEL & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY | DESTINATION ELOPEMENTS | MICROWEDDINGS | COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHY | TRAVEL & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY |

These galleries started with two people who wanted their day to feel like them… not a template, or a pose list, or someone else’s version of a wedding.

You’re seeing what happens when you stop performing and start living: laughter that comes out of nowhere, a look between two people that says more than words, landscapes that earn their place in the frame.

These photos are built around an unscripted moment, documented the way a film director would shoot it: observational, cinematic, and rooted in what’s actually happening.

This is what your day could look like.

Elopements + Microweddings

These weddings are small, intentional celebrations in places worth traveling to: from the first rays of sun over the red rock desert, to snow falling in Rocky Mountain passes, to sandy coastlines at the edge of the world. Whether you want to wake up before the birds to catch the sunrise, or stargaze under the Milky Way.


Cinematic Couples + Engagement Sessions

Sessions that feel like a movie of your relationship: less posing, more living. We build your photoshoot around an experience, so your photos tell your story instead of feeling staged.

CLient Testimonials
  • “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. 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!”
    -Ady + Chase
  • “McKenna was such an integral part of our wedding day. From the preparation in the months leading up, to the day itself, and now months later, she continues to impress us with her professionalism and artistic and creative talent. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous. McKenna has an eye for detail that is unmatched, and her personal touch has meant the world to us.”
    -Anna + Jon
  • “McKenna is absolutely amazing and SO talented! We got photos taken at the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon in Rome, Italy and the gallery she delivered to us is an absolute dream, pinterest inspo worthy! She made us feel so comfortable and even was flexible last minute when we decided to include our golden retriever in our photoshoot. I can’t thank her enough for the beautiful photos she captured for us and our time living in Rome.”
    -Carissa + Tom
