She’s the GOAT!
Mikayla is a talented photographer with a style that doesn’t sacrifice color and vibrancy. She is so friendly and direct with communication, and we felt that our vision was considered and captured perfectly! On our wedding day she was attentive and encouraging. Her photos of our wedding are so dreamy and are an absolute delight to share. We will cherish these photos for generations. Mikayla’s work is awesome and we can’t recommend her services enough. If only we didn’t live states away so she could capture more of our life events! -

My Fiancé and I both wanted our photos to capture the love that we share and us having fun. Both of us are pretty camera shy and we wanted to make sure the photos did not reflect that. We chose to go with Mikayla for several reasons. For one she is incredibly thorough with her research on locations and matching those locations with our wants. She has been all over Colorado and takes stunning shots regardless of the couple. We also went with her because she was fun, super friendly, and an absolutle professional in all of our interactions prior to the session.
Our experience matched Mikayla’s first impression. She was extremely patient and helpful (we had our families there as well). She knew how to get the most out of us to make the photographs amazing. She was super encouraging and positive. Her energy really drove the session early on. It allowed us to become comfortable and really express our relationship. If it hadn’t been for her energy I think the session would not have been what it was. Honestly, I can not recommend Mikayla more. If you are looking for outdoor and an adventurous session she is hands down the best person you could choose.

Amazing Colorado Mountain Photographer!
As they say, “you will blink and the night will be over” we were not the exception. We had the most amazing wedding day, but it all went by so fast. We are so thankful to the talented Mikayla Renee for helping us keep our memories forever. As you can see in the pictures I attached to this review, Mikayla was there from the beginning through to into the dancing/party. One thing we did love was that Mikayla also did our engagement photo shoot. My wife said later on that she was legitimately so happy when she saw her arrive at our venue because it was like seeing an old friend (mind you, the only time we met Mikayla was at our engagement shoot!) In 8,000+ ft. altitude, running up and down our venue stairs to get shots of my guys and I and my wife’s bridal party getting ready, we could not have been more happy (or impressed). She really did an amazing job and we would recommend her 1000%. -

Mikayla is amazing
Where to begin? For starters, I am not one to write reviews however after the most amazing experience that my wife and I had with Mikayla I felt it was only right to share her greatness with whomever may read this and possibly be on the fence about who your photographer should be. Here's
a quick hint if you don't want to keep reading (it is Mikayla, no doubt about it). My wife found Mikayla and her breathtaking work while looking for an elopement photographer in Colorado on Instagram. Coming to Colorado from Florida naturally we reached out to numerous elopement photographers. From the jump it was evident that Mikayla was not only passionate about finding us a perfect location but I can't speak enough about her professionalism and constant communication throughout the whole process. My wife was very particular about what she wanted and Mikayla was able to scout and send her a number of gorgeous views to pick from. When our big day arrived, due to the fires we were not able to get to our first location. Without hesitation, Mikayla was able to pivot and help us choose another location. The second choice however was extremely windy on our big day and Mikayla suggested it would be best to go to the third location. This location ended up being the absolute most beautiful thing I have ever seen in nature. Mikayla made us feel comfortable the entire time she was taking pictures. Our gallery came out better than I could have ever imagined and we feel so lucky that we had Mikayla there to capture this special moment. To whoever may be reading this, I can assure you without hesitation that Mikayla is the best to ever do it. Let her make your forever moment perfect. I promise you, besides tying the knot, it'll be the best decision you make. -

Mikayla is a true gem! We are so lucky to have found her. She made our day so special. We told her the location and she did the rest!! She is truly such a sweet human and cares about her couples. It shows in all of the photos she posts, and receiving back our albums we are just so in love. She just blew us away with our engagement session and we got the sneaks for the wedding and I already cannot wait to see the rest! She is so good at editing and picking the spots for all of the photos. I told her I wanted to spread my grandparents ashes and the day got away from me. She is the one who remembered because she truly just cares about her clients. She is a true artist and the easiest yes of this entire wedding planning process!! :) -

Ashley R. Sent on 09/30/2020Great energy, even better photos
Mikayla, is so down to earth and puts you at ease right away. She is really flexible and is always willing to give suggestions based on your vision. You can tell she really pays attention to angles, lighting, background, etc. She also shoots a variety of different photos--I never feel like I have a bunch of the same picture. We have taken photos with her twice, and we can't wait for her to shoot our wedding! She's basically become our pal, and we will continue to work with her, even after our wedding. Thank you, Mikayla!! -

My experience with Mikayla was nothing short of amazing. She is super down to earth, informative, and willing to do whatever to make you comfortable. Each pose came with ease as she would tell us to just be ourselves. Honestly, that's what turned me onto her more, she wasn't forceful. She knew natural feelings and would illustrate the perfect photo. She knew exactly what she was going with her placements at the location she chose. The photos turned out phenomenal, and we received them back so fast! Each picture captured the love AJ and I have for each other. These memories I will cherish forever, as it was our first vacation together as a couple. It was the ending to an amazing trip that I will never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Mikayla. -

If you’re thinking of hiring Mikayla for your wedding/elopement photography, please just do it!
Working with Mikayla was absolutely wonderful and stress-free from beginning to end. While she mainly works in Colorado, I live in Florida and fell completely in love with her style and attention to detail. When I reached out to her about traveling to do our wedding photography, she was completely on board and so supportive. Her timely responses to all of my questions were so helpful and she made the entire process a breeze.
She not only did our wedding photos, but also our engagement shoot and her direction and guidance made each experience so much fun! Mikayla is so down to earth, kind, and professional. The day of the wedding, she and the second photographer showed up right on time and made sure everything went smoothly. They were dedicated to getting all the detail shots I requested and had great ideas for poses and backgrounds. Nothing felt forced or obtrusive. She worked hard to capture the special moments and overall atmosphere of the event. Within 2 weeks, she sent me a sneak peek of the gallery and always texted or emailed with updates on the timeline for the completed photos (which I sincerely appreciated since waiting is the hardest part!)
Her passion for what she does shines through in her work, and her overwhelming talent far exceeds anything else you could find for your special occasion. If I could talk to anyone considering hiring Mikayla face-to-face, I would jump up and down and tell them that they would be crazy to pass up the opportunity to work with her. Your beautiful photos will be passed down for generations to come, and you want someone as gifted as Mikayla taking them. She perfectly captured the love and joy of our wedding, and I couldn’t recommend her enough! -

Captured the most amazing day of my life!
My fiancé worked with Mikayla to surprise me with photos of our engagement and I could not be more thrilled with how they turned out! Not only is she professional, but she is fun and just a great person to be around. Mikayla strives to create a comfortable environment making her sessions relaxed and easygoing. Our album was emailed to us in 24 hours and I constantly find myself clicking the link to remind me of our special day. Photos we will treasure forever! -

Best experience ever with a photographer!
Mikayla was so helpful...from helping me find the perfect spot to being flexible on time and date! She was always professional and quick to respond to all my questions. She went above and beyond when I asked her to go to two locations during our time. She was so accommodating to help make my wedding day perfect! The photos she captured where so beautiful! Nothing looked posed...everything was very natural and she caught all the special moments. I would use her again in a second! -

My boyfriend and I felt instantly comfortable with Mikayla. She has been incredibly responsive all throughout the process, and very easy to communicate with. Being our first couple's shoot, my boyfriend and I were unsure of what to expect; Mikayla came, and she sure did deliver. She gave us fun, ice-breaking-type-of poses to ease into the shoot and then moved into poses that we otherwise would not have felt as comfortable doing! The shots are candid, beautiful, and capture our love more than words ever could. -

Mikayla did an amazing job with our engagement photo session! She provided tons of great options for our location, picked the perfect time to get lots of golden hour shots, and made us both feel at completely at ease even though we had never taken professional photos before. Would highly recommend Mikayla for anyone looking to capture special moments in a beautiful setting -

Mirium N. Sent on 09/10/2020I would hire her every weekend if I could
Mikayla did an amazing job! When I booked her I wasn't planning on a pandemic being a thing, but she was very helpful all the steps along the way. My fiance and his family share wonderful memories of family vacations in steamboat springs, CO. However, I had never been to Steamboat Springs, and neither had Mikayla, but she was very flexible, patient, creative, professional and willing to adventure. She captured some beautiful moments that I'm glad I get to look at and cherish for forever. We had an engagement/couples session the day before our wedding and she was able to get those amazing photos back to us so fast. The wedding photos were even more beautiful! Looking at them brings me back to that phenomenal day. Thank you for capturing those moments and more importantly the love we share! -

We absolutely loved working with Mikayla! She’s super knowledgeable about great places to shoot in Colorado, and she made us feel totally at ease. She had great ideas about what kinds of poses would look best, and none of them felt forced or strange. There was a lot of laughter. Not only did we end up with a variety of truly gorgeous photos (and family keepsakes) but we had a blast together! We feel so lucky to have worked with her. -

Dream Wedding Photographer
Working with Mikayla was honestly the easiest and most rewarding part of our entire wedding planning process.
We initially chose Mikayla because of the love that you can see in each of her couples eyes. As we are not used to being in front of the camera, it was really important to have a photographer that we felt comfortable around and could give us the right cues to help us portray our love through the lens. After the first 5 minutes of shooting our engagement photos, it was obvious that she was that person; Her kind demeanor and fun personality were exactly what we needed behind the camera to feel comfortable.
Leading up to the wedding, I felt like I could communicate with Mikayla freely and as a friend. If I had any questions about timelines, family photos, first look, etc., she had suggestions. She was very detail oriented and asked a lot of questions leading up to the wedding about what was important to us, to make sure that we were on the same page and that our personalities could shine through with personal touches.
In the end, Mikayla provided us with over 900 photos. A beautiful mix of posed, candid, snuggly-romantic and more. A week after receiving the photos, I am still having a hard time posting anything to social media because a) there are so many good photos, and b) I start sobbing every time I try to flip through them.
TL;DR: Working with Mikayla was a dream. If you want romantic, emotional photos with beautiful lighting, personal touches and tons of options... She is absolutely the right photographer for you. -

Evelynn G. Sent on 10/07/2019Amazing Experience! You rock, Mikayla!
From the first moment we interacted with Mikayla over e-mail I knew she was awesome and even my fiance said "she seems really cool" which he truly meant. Mikayla was already booked for the date we had originally chosen and so we changed the date without a hesitation. That was our first big decision we had made in the wedding planning process and we couldn't be happier. We met Mikayla in person on the day of our engagement shoot and we walked through our wedding venue and moved on to our engagement shoot location. She was amazing! From the moment we met her, she was very flexible with us and was super comfortable with our dogs. Since neither of us had done any photo shoots before, she handled our awkwardness throughout the process with kindness and positive reinforcement! The pictures turned out beautifully and now hang in our living room. We can't wait for her to photograph our wedding day! -

Mikayla is an amazing photographer and such a sweet person to be around. She was always responsive to our emails and any questions we had. I've always felt awkward in front of the camera, but Mikayla's personality is very easy-going so it wasn't hard to get comfortable with her. Our entire experience with her was fun and stress-free. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for jaw-dropping photos! Thank you Mikayla for capturing such precious moments that we will treasure forever. -
