My approach stems from intentionality + a heart for loving deeply.

an empath at heart

I believe that VULNERABILITY FOSTERS CONNECTION. Meaning, I long to help you plan a day that feels honest, real, and meaningful with all of the scary, excited, emotional and vulnerable moments- and I want to document it all, exactly how it naturally unfolds. I believe how your day feels and what it means to you is crucial. Slowing down + having an intentional, intimate day allows you to focus on your connection + celebrating it in a way that feels like home to you.

I Cherish Intimate Weddings, larger weddings And Elopements Because It's So Much More Than A Big Party. It's A Day Full Of Impactful + Meaningful Experiences In A Breathtaking Place That Feels Like You And With The People You Love.

"I was so impressed with Macayla’s ability to naturally capture true emotion. Our time together was effortless and fun. It felt like spending time with a good friend. There were no rules, no pressures, just a freeing space where my husband and I could be ourselves."

"WHEN MACAYLA SENT US THE SNEAK PEEK, OUR JAWS DROPPED BECAUSE THE PHOTOS LOOKED STUNNING! AND WHEN WE RECEIVED ALL OF THE PHOTOS, THERE WAS NO WORDS THAT CAN FULLY EXPLAIN HOW MUCH WE LOVE THEM. OUR EXPERIENCE WITH MACAYLA WAS UNFORGETTABLE!"
