wedding day here?? isane.
look i get it, traveling across a whole ocean to get married on a tiny island in the middle of the pacific can feel intimidating. But I PROMISE YOU, you won't regret this decision!
and imagine having your actual wedding day here?!?! insane
let me show you how
hi friend!
i'm so glad you're here
Your photographer, friend and support system in this crazy engagement season of your life. I want to be there for you every step of the way, as so much more than a wedding vendor. I want to be there to celebrate with you, cry with you, laugh with you and help make your wedding day dreams a reality, no matter how untraditional they may seem to those around you.
When I began in this crazy photography journey, I had no idea how much I'd fall in love with capturing stories. It is truly such an honor to be able to go through life with my couple's and capture their relationship the way it feels to them. To see through the fluff of a wedding into the real and raw love that they share, in their own unique way. Because I truly believe that each person was created uniquely, to love uniquely and to live uniquely, so why should your wedding day (or your wedding photos) look like anyone elses?

such
a joy
She has such a fun personality that really helps you feel comfortable when taking pictures and eases any nerves you might have going into it! I had never taken professional photos before and both me and my fiance couldn't stop talking about how natural and easy she made it for us. It was just like hanging out with a friend that makes you laugh nonstop. The pictures came out better than we could have ever anticipated, and I'm so excited for her to capture our wedding day!

IMAGINE YOU'RE IN A MAMMA MIA MOVIE
you are sophie
you're celebrating with your favorite people, sailing on the crystal blue waters, sunset dinners and dancing under the stars. a whole weekend celebrating YOU.
I've always been so inspired by movies, and watching my couples wedding days play out like a real life rom com just fills my cup.
your favorite moments will be the ones that aren't planned

This job of mine is an honor, and I don't take it lightly. I want to tell the story of your wedding, from beginning to end. Because what is a wedding day if not a story of love and cherished moments?
I believe that a wedding is so much more than hours of family photos and obligatory staged moments. And if you've made it this far I'm sure that's not what you have in mind either.
I know I've said it over and over, but I truly believe that each person is created in such an incredible, unique and intentional way. Every relationship and every love is so different and unique in the most beautiful way. So why should your wedding day look like anyone else's?
Whether you want to climb a mountain or have an intimate evening with your loved ones, I want to capture your relationship exactly as it is. And it is beautiful.

We booked her for our elopement and seriously had so much fun with her! The whole experience was so fun, she helped us plan the big day from the beginning and talked with us a few times prior to check in ahead of time so we could be well prepared to have an amazing day. She seriously will become your new bff in like 5 minutes after meeting her. The pictures truly speak for themselves- they are timeless, romantic, fun, and just everything you could want! I just received our gallery back and y’all - I am STUNNED! They are seriously the most gorgeous pictures and they perfectly captured our special day!!
Thank you SO MUCH McKenna!"
