Where to start! In May of 2024, I graduated from JMU with a degree in Health Science. A few weeks after graduation, I got engaged and in May of 2025, I married my best friend! Safe to say, I understand all of the stress, excitement, and chaos of the wedding planning season. 

Photography is a creative outlet that has quickly turned into a passion of mine. I find such joy in getting to know my clients and delivering images to them that will last a lifetime. As you can imagine, I didn't think that this would be my full time job. I was always unsure of what I would do with my degree, so when I started getting consistent bookings, I was ecstatic. I absolutely adore this job and the Lord's plan could not be more evident. I am on year 3 of being in business and truly could not be more grateful. I have worked over 50 weddings as the lead photographer and can not wait to continue experiencing the beauty of wedding days. 

It is my hope to have every client be completely satisfied with not only the images I provide, but the time that they spend with me. It is such an honor to be able to serve others with kindness and provide work that will last. 

Let's hop on a call or go grab a coffee and chat! I can't wait to get to know you! 


I'm mckenzie
& I am so glad you are here. 

I am a firm believer that each person has qualities that sets them apart from others- qualities that should be expressed and acknowledged. Being personable, kind, and compassionate are qualities I value the most. I genuinely want to know you for you! You are beautiful, seen, and loved. It is my goal to know you FEEL it when working with me. 

Through each session. Each phone call. Each interaction. I want to do my best to serve you as well as I can.

Whether I am helping you fix your veil before you say "I do"  or noticing grandma tearing up as you walk down the aisle; the small moments will be accounted for just as much as the big ones. 
 
It has been my greatest joy to witness and be chosen to document some of the greatest moments. Milestones turned to memories - forever frozen in time, captured in a way that reflects you. 

Each gallery delivered holds such special meaning. For that, I am forever grateful.
