About

Hi, I'm Makenna from Makenna Brylee Photography and I have been photographing weddings since 2016. However, I have been behind the camera ever since I could get my hands on one. In high school I became fascinated with photography and in college I even majored in cinema arts. Oh and yes, I am available to photograph both destination and local weddings.

I have a more personalized approach, getting to know my clients and their vision. This helps couples to relax in front of the lens and show their true selves. I want to capture the genuine emotion of each day, which is why I tend to be more of a fly on the wall. I'm here to capture the moments, not make moments for you. I then deliver the photos to you within 2 weeks (sneak peaks in 1 day) because I'm sure you want to see just how beautiful your wedding day was.

If you are looking for a photographer that captures the in between bits, the raw moments, the tears, the laughter, the candids, and the messy, uncensored beauty of love, then we would be a perfect match!

Best photographer ever!

Makenna shot our engagement and our wedding, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is so lovely to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos are amazing and she has a quick turnaround time. We have gotten so many compliments on them. If you can book her, DO IT!

Best photographer ever!

We could not be happier with Makenna – she is so kind and sweet and easy to be around, helping us not feel awkward in front of the camera. She did our engagement and wedding photos which was awesome because then we already had a feel for her on the big day! So far we've received the sneak peeks back and they're even more spectacular than we could've hoped for. Can't wait to see the rest, and we cannot recommend Makenna enough!!

Fun to Work With and Highly-Skilled

My husband and I were married on 9/23/21 and Makenna photographed our event. She was recommended by our wedding venue, and was the first vendor we hired. Her photos are very natural and elevated. She is incredibly professional and organized but also easy-going and a pleasure to work with. She allowed events of the day to unfold organically, which is what my husband and I preferred, and was able to capture so many moments beautifully. Though our ceremony and reception was held at the same venue, we had to jump around from location to location on the property throughout the day quite a bit, and my husband and I had to be away from our guests for a short period of time during the reception. Somehow she still managed to take plenty of photos of our guests as well as the two of us. Looking back at the photos she took for us is an immersive experience and I feel like I'm reliving my wedding day. She is an amazingly skilled photographer. I also appreciated that when she photographed our enagement shoot last June - and my husband and I didn't know how to pose or what to expect at all really - she helped us feel relaxed and was able to capture moments of us just having a good time together.

Makenna is Amazing!

Makenna is an amazing calm during the craziness of your wedding day. She is so talented and all the photos are so beautiful. I can’t stop staring at the photos or even pick a favorite because I love them all. I would hire her over and over again if I could!

Absolutely stunning photos! 100% Recommend

Makenna is absolutely incredible! After our engagement shoot, she had our pictures back to us in just a couple of days and we are IN LOVE with her work. My fiancé and I really can't stop looking at the photos! It was a windy day and my hair was out of control, so I had no idea how the photos would come, but we were in disbelief that she was able to capture every moment so beautifully. She traveled a couple hours outside of Denver with us to one of our favorite locations, and she was so sweet and nice to work with, and made the experience a lot of fun. If photography is important to you for your wedding, I would 100% recommend choosing Makenna!

I love Makenna’s eye for things. She captured all the special, romantic, sweet moments of our day. She was super helpful, flexible to make what we wanted come to life and her creative eye is all time. We’re glad we booked her to capture our special day.

Amazing Service

Makenna did an incredible job with our wedding! We are in love with all of the photos and so is our family! She was calm on the wedding day which created calmness for us and she captured moments that just flew by for us! It's been so fun to look back at all the photos and relive our wedding day. We recommend Makenna to our friends and clients all the time! She's organized, professional, talented, and is able to have fun at the wedding. That's a great compliment for us when our vendors were able to have fun on the wedding day :) Thank you so much Makenna!

Extraordinary! She is so sweet and flexible! She helped us a lot!!

Makenna Brylee was so great and professional! Every time our friends see us they bring up both our engagement and wedding photos! She took her time and money to travel 3 hours with us to the desert and she was so happy and kind about it! The day of our wedding she went to 4 different locations around San Diego to get the exact pictures we wanted. Not only did she execute everything we asked of her, but she helped direct us and do additional photos would never knew we would even want but then loved! She had our first look for us in less than 24 hours!
She was truly great and we LOVE our photos!!
Would work with her over and over again!

Total Package!

Makenna was a dream come true! LITERALLY! The part of the wedding planning I was the most picky about, was my photography! The wedding itself, took months to plan, for most others, it takes years. All of that planning, all for a 6 hours in one day! The truth is, that day is gone in the blinc of an eye! For most brides, it can feel so sad when it’s over! So what I felt was most important, and made the time and the money spent on one day, what the photos that captured the magic! Those are timeless! They make the day last forever! And that’s exactly what makennas photography did for my special day! Every beautiful moment caught in a photo I’ll cherish forever!
Not only is makenna extremely talented, she’s a doll to work with! So sweet, so understanding, so flexible! The best part about makenna, is that she truly feels like family. She made me comfortable, which is all a bride can ask for on such a nerve racking day!
Highly suggest her!
Makenna, if your reading this, thank you for capturing my special day, there truly is nobody like you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
