An elopement is a wedding day without the forced traditions, stress, and drama that come with a traditional wedding day.
So what exactly is an elopement anyway?
Imagine this:
Close your eyes and picture the perfect day with your favorite person. Does this include a sunrise hike or a cozy morning in? A "just us" experience or bringing along your closest loved ones? A private chef cooking you a nice dinner, your favorite burger place, or a sunset picnic? A thrilling helicopter ride, a drive down a 4x4 trail in a Jeep, or a boat ride?
The possibilities for your elopement day are endless.
you deserve a wedding day that feels like you.

I'm an adventure wedding photographer born and raised in southern California! Here are a few of my favorite things: dogs, road trips, Netflix, baking, and In N Out.
My favorite part about this job is working with couples who love to explore as much as I do. If you love adventures, seeing new places, and don't mind getting a little dirty I might just be the girl for you! My goal is that you don't just see me as your photographer, but your friend who just happens to have a camera!

hi, i'm McKayla!
McKayla was our photographer at our elopement in Santa Barbara and she completely exceeded our expectations. She was fun to work with, provided direction when needed, and captured the most beautiful moments between my husband and I. She made the whole experience so easy and we are so thankful we were able to find such a wonderful human to spend one of the most important days of our lives with. We will absolutely recommend her to our friends and family!

"McKayla is the best!! She’s so down to earth and welcoming, it’s hard NOT to be comfortable with her! She literally makes magic come to life. Each and every photo we received was our absolute favorite, we literally could not pick just one! She’s the absolute best at capturing moment and that’s what we love the most about her!"
Crystal + Travis
"McKayla exceeded our expectations for engagement photos. She captured our photos and created an intimate and memorable experience that we will cherish for a lifetime. What I admire about her services is that it broke the norm of traditional engagement photos and turned it into an experience. We rented an offroad 4x4 Jeep and drove out to some interesting areas that ultimately turned into some unique photographs. Thank you, McKayla!"

I was the most impressed with how detailed she was with scouting for the location for our shoot. She had multiple options and backups for areas that were too crowded. She made my boyfriend and I feel so comfortable and was also so skilled at capturing our personalities. Another bonus is how good she is with dogs, she made our shy pup shine on camera.
