Timeless Storytelling through film + digital imagery

documenting the moments you feel most connected: to each other + to the place that holds your story

A Montana-based wedding and elopement photographer with a love for the outdoors and a heart for documenting your story. I am inspired by the way stories unfold naturally, through genuine connection and slow moments shaped by the landscape around us. Blending digital and film photography, I focus on creating thoughtful, timeless imagery that reflects each story with honesty and intention.

Why Glacier National Park?

Towering peaks, glacial lakes that mirror the sky, meadows that shift with the seasons. Glacier National Park is a backdrop that feels both timeless and free.

It’s a place that holds space for intimacy, adventure, and connection in a way few other spaces can. I wish I could put into words the way Glacier makes you feel, but it’s something you can only experience for yourself.

Every moment here carries a sense of wonder, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and be fully present with each other.

From:

Sydney + Taylor

Makayla was truly incredible, way beyond what any five-star rating could capture! She made our day run so smoothly, gently guiding us through each part while still allowing us to soak in every moment. Makayla’s bubbly personality is an absolute joy—fun, kind, and genuinely caring. She makes you feel so comfortable! The photos she took are beyond stunning—every emotion, every little detail, captured beautifully and naturally. We’re so deeply grateful to have had her by our side on our wedding day. Makayla didn’t just take photos— she played a huge part in making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be!

Documented in connection & warmth

Every single time

Let's elope!
