Hi, I'm McKayla, and I'm based in Kansas City, MO. My love for photography started at a young age, capturing family moments on vacation. Later, I honed my skills through photography classes at Lees Summit West High School and UMKC. After over five years of shooting weddings professionally, I’ve truly found my passion in capturing timeless memories for couples. Each wedding I shoot feels like an honor, and I’m grateful to be part of such meaningful moments.On your wedding day, my goal is to create a relaxed and enjoyable experience for you. I guide you with gentle prompts to help you feel at ease in front of the camera, whether we’re having you walk hand-in-hand or share a laugh. It’s about focusing on each other and letting those authentic, beautiful moments happen naturally. I strive to offer reassurance and make sure you feel comfortable throughout the entire process.When it comes to wedding photos, my favorite moments to capture are the quiet, emotional ones—the first look, the vows, and those intimate glances that truly reflect the love and connection between you two. My tips for a successful wedding day? Be present and soak in every moment, trust your team of vendors, and, most importantly, focus on each other. That’s when the best photos happen. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me swimming, attending concerts, or spending time with my cats and playing the drums.‍
