BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT MIKAYLA
The daughter of a musician and a television producer, art and creation is in my blood
My love for photography started when I was seven, on a family trip to Hawaii. My parents gave me two disposable cameras, and within hours, I had already filled one with photos of everything around me. That’s where it all began—I wanted to remember our little piece of Maui exactly how it was, and that approach to life has never left me.
As I got older, I only realized that much more just how important photos are in preserving memories. Nothing quite prepares you for losing a parent, especially when you’re freshly 20 years old. When my Mom passed away, that value deepened even more, and photos became my lifeline and only connection to her. Even the lowest quality image made me feel like she was right there next to me again; I could hear her voice, feel her hug, & remember her in the most beautiful way.
I know firsthand how priceless it is to have tangible memories—ones that bring you back to the people and moments that matter most. Now, I dedicate my work to documenting love stories in a way that feels real, timeless, and meaningful—so that my couples and their future families have something beautiful to look back on.

art with the pieces." - Shane Koyczan
my why...
My APPROACH IS SIMPLY THIS:
refined documentary with an editorial influence
My vow to my couples is to document your wedding day with a thoughtful, unobtrusive approach—A lens that lingers where love unfolds, yet never intrudes too much. With heartfelt care and artistry, I’ll preserve both the planned and spontaneous moments, ensuring every glance and detail are remembered.
