About Makenna —
Legacy is why I do this.
My love for photography began here — in the timeless beauty of their love.
These are my grandparents, and their story is the reminder of why photographs matter: they preserve not just faces, but the faith, devotion, and tenderness that live on long after the day itself.
Born in California and raised in Texas, where I now live, am married, and call home. I photograph weddings with a deep appreciation for connection, presence, and the fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. I’m drawn to stories that feel honest and lived-in, capturing celebrations in a way that feels natural, artful, and true to you.
My faith shapes the way I move through the world and the way I serve others with compassion, humility, and care. I believe every couple deserves to be celebrated exactly as they are, and I’m honored to document love stories of every kind. I proudly welcome couples of all races, genders, sexual orientations, LGBTQIA+, body types, and abilities — every love story belongs here.
My work is rooted in intentional storytelling, blending digital and film photography to create imagery that feels timeless and enduring. I approach each wedding day with care and attentiveness, allowing space for moments to unfold organically while thoughtfully preserving the emotions, details, and relationships that make your day uniquely yours.
Outside of weddings, I’m most at home in quiet moments—editing photographs with intention, spending time with my husband, Alex, and finding beauty in the everyday. Photography isn’t just what I do; it’s how I preserve meaning, memory, and legacy.
I believe love deserves to be celebrated fully and freely. My work—and my heart—are rooted in kindness, respect, and inclusion, and I’m honored to welcome couples of all backgrounds, identities, and love stories here.
all my love,

Hi, I'm Makenna
A Little Bit About Me
My work is rooted in intentional storytelling, blending digital and film photography to create imagery that feels honest, artful, and enduring.
I approach each wedding day with the belief that the most meaningful moments don’t need to be forced. My goal is to create imagery that feels timeless and true — photographs that reflect who you are and how the day genuinely unfolded.
Throughout the day, I offer gentle guidance when it’s needed and step back when it’s not. I’ll help you feel comfortable during portraits, while allowing the in-between moments — the glances, the laughter, the quiet pauses to happen naturally. This balance allows your wedding day to feel lived-in, not staged.
I photograph using a blend of digital and film, choosing each intentionally. Film invites a slower, more thoughtful pace, while digital allows flexibility and responsiveness. Together, they create images with depth, texture, and emotion. Photographs that feel as meaningful years from now as they do today.
Above all, I care deeply about the experience you have in front of the camera. I show up attentive, prepared, and fully invested in your story, so you can stay present with the people and moments that matter most. When you look back on your images, I want you to remember not just how everything looked, but how it felt.
