Makayla was great!

I loved getting to work with Makayla. She made everything so easy - had a great schedule and really helped throughout the day. She had a second shooter who was great too! My whole crew loved getting to work with her and everyone is in awe of my photos!

So Easy To Work With!!

We were two low-maintenance people planning a fancy wedding and having Makayla was the best! Not only were her services an incredible value, but she helped us put together then entire timeline of the day when we had NO IDEA where to start. We really thought we had it under control - but we didn't - and thanks to her help planning and willingness to go with the flow we ended up running ahead of schedule. We had to change venues, we dealt with bad weather and a day-of location change, and through it all Makayla showed up and just made it happen. On top of it all, we love our photos. They are bright, classic, and full of the romantic color we wanted from our theme.

Wedding at Principal Park

Makayla was so great to work with and made our day so seamless! She was extremely professional while also making each and every part of our special day so fun. Her personality is infectious and she made it so easy to be our true selves in front of the camera. Our photos turned out beautifully and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Amazing! Hands down the best!

Makayla is AMAZING! She was so accommodating, experienced, and helpful! She did a phenomenal job on our engagement and wedding photos, and she captured everything we could have wanted and more on our special day. We really appreciated Makayla's fair pricing and help along the way! She was willing to provide input on decor for the camera and lighting, and she was super helpful on the day of the wedding because she has been there and done that! I highly recommend Makayla Beth Photography for your wedding photography needs!

July 2018 Wedding

MaKayla and one of her colleagues photographed our wedding and the whole thing leading up to, day of, and afterwards was perfect! MaKayla essentially created our wedding day timeline with the exact time and details of everything that would happen and was flexible in adjusting this timeline. She showed up early on the wedding day and was hardly noticeable as she captured everything and everybody getting ready. She was flexible with the weather and our plans and she was super great to work with through the, quite frankly, exhausting day. Her and her partner were always working and able to keep our smiles fresh and genuine and their energy never dipped. Afterwards she added pictures the same night as our wedding and delivered the website and flash drive within the time frame she promised. She even followed up with us to deliver the canvas that came with our contract when we didn’t immediately ask. If it isn’t apparent at this point, I highly recommend MaKayla. Her price is very reasonable, especially for such high quality service.

The only down side is that it takes a couple days for her to respond back to you if you miss her. She was very accommodating though and was willing to travel for our photography. We did a bundle package of Engagement and Wedding pictures with her. The cost was reasonable with the quality of work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
