Hey, it's Makayla. I'm a Duluth, MN and Saint Paul, MN based wedding photojournalist.

I can see the magic in everything.

In my decade of photographing weddings, I've always come back to this: the people and the relationships are the real story. And that story is best told by letting it tell itself.

This blog is full of the stories I've seen, the things I've learned along the way, and my best advice for creating a marriage celebration driven by being present and true to you.

Pour a coffee, a matcha, a tea. Stay awhile. Linger.

It's so great
to meet you.

Welcome to the stories.
