BASED IN COLORADO
FOR LAIDBACK COUPLES WHO LOVE THE MOUNTAINS
COLORADO ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER &
COLORADO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
BASED IN COLORADO
My “Niche” Is people.
There was a time when I thought I had to niche beyond that because it’s something the business gurus encourage. But I felt like I was robbing myself of connecting with some amazing people and photographing your gorgeous memories.
My approach is a blend of finding unique ways to beautifully document your connection, while doing our surroundings justice.
In short, I’m inspired by you and these mountains.
I create beautiful images that will stick with you for ages because of the beauty they convey and the connection they represent.
“If you’re thinking about working with Mikayla, JUST DO IT! She’s absolutely amazing! She captured our elopement perfectly and didn’t miss a moment! We love our pictures so much and will cherish them forever! She was so helpful during the planning process helping us figure out the location and answering any questions we had.”
– Madeline & Colin, Colorado Springs Elopement
MY SERVICES
IF YOU LIKE IT, I LOVE IT
I’m not here to give you unsolicited advice on how you *should* get married. I’m here to support your vision, help take some of the stress away, and give you kick-ass photos to remember forever.
ELOPEMENTS
ELOPEMENTS ARE FOR COUPLES THAT WANT SOMETHING A LITTLE SMALLER IN SIZE, BUT NOT IN IMPORTANCE.
THE SMALLER GUEST LIST ALLOWS FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH LOCATIONS AND ACTIVITIES. WANT TO FLY FISH AFTER VOWS? WANT TO OFF-ROAD TO AN ALPINE LAKE AND CRACK OPEN SOME COLD ONES? WANT TO HIKE 8 MILES INTO THE BACKCOUNTRY & HAVE YOUR DOG SIGN YOUR MARRIAGE LICENSE? I’M DOWN TO CLOWN, LET’S GET TO PLANNING.
WEDDINGS
COUPLES CHOOSE WEDDINGS WHEN THEY KNOW THEY WANT THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN ATTENDANCE TO HELP THEM CELEBRATE.
THE CHANCES THAT ALL OF YOUR FAVORITE HUMANS WILL BE IN THE SAME PLACE AGAIN ARE SLIM. SO I’LL CLOCK 8+ MILES ON MY APPLE WATCH TO MAKE SURE THAT I CAPTURE THE SMILES, LAUGHS, HUGS, & TEARS. & I’LL DO IT WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE.
SESSIONS
FOR THOSE MOMENTS THAT DESERVE TO BE CAPTURED AND THOSE STORIES THAT DESERVE TO BE TOLD.
ENGAGEMENT, MATERNITY, ANNIVERSARY, JUST BECAUSE WITH YOU & THE PUP(S). WE CAN MEET UP SOMEPLACE BEAUTIFUL AND HANG OUT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
THESE ARE LOW-THREAT AND REALLY FUN. CAMERAS CAN BE INTIMIDATING BUT I’LL GUIDE YA EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
“She has an ability not just to take amazing photos but to deeply capture emotion and moments in a way that I truly treasure.”

I’m Mikayla
— A Colorado-based elopement and wedding photographer who loves being in the mountains and crying during other people’s vows. My photography is based on your connection first, and the mountains second. I’m equally inspired by both and they make my job a dream. I’d love nothing more than hanging out somewhere pretty and creating beautiful, timeless photos together.
SO YOUR MEMORIES LIVE FOREVER
If choosing your photographer has been slightly intimidating so far…
GOOGLE HAS FINALLY LED YOU TO THE CORRECT PLACE
Listen, I totally get it! I, too, have spent hours stressing over who was going to photograph my special day! & I have photographed weddings for the past 5 years and still sit and think, “wow, these are someone’s MEMORIES”.
THIS IS MY JOB AND I *STILL* GET BUTTERFLIES.
Because you don’t get a redo of your day. This is it! How do you documents the details? How do you get to remember all of the laughs, tears, hugs, and the views? Is it even possible to look back at your gallery and gush for decades to come?!
WITH THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL!

“BUT WHY ARE YOU SPECIAL?”
With all of the photographers that you’ve researched so far, I’m sure we’re all starting to mesh together and you’re left asking what makes me so special.
I care–really. It sounds so cheesy, but I do, like a lot. I’m emotionally invested in all of my couples. In your planning, in your day, in your photos. I’m just a normal person who knows how to take beautiful photos and tell a story. For me, this never gets old. Yes, you’ll get an elopement photographer & a pretty resourceful lady (if I do say so myself), but you’ll also get a friend.
