Colorado Wedding & Portrait Photographer
Hi loves, I’m Makaila.
I’m a wedding photographer here to document the day of your dreams, to freeze it in time for you to relive over and over again.
Whether it’s an intimate elopement by an alpine lake or an epic family affair, I’ve got you covered. That means capturing every little glance in-between moments, the magic in the details - big and small - and then wrapping it all up into a stunning portrait gallery you’ll pass down for generations.

More than a photographer,
MKR Photos is a relationship.
When I connect with clients, I’m building lasting relationships that carry on long after your wedding day. I call myself an “everything photographer” because I don’t stop at weddings. Nothing makes me happier than capturing all the milestones that follow as your life unfolds and evolves.
“She captured everything we wanted and, even better, shots we didn't know we needed. We are over the moon with our gallery and have loved sharing the photos with our family and friends. We chose Makaila as our wedding and engagement photographer, but this is a relationship we will definitely be continuing.”
-Luke L.
If you’re looking for a photographer to be a true member of your wedding team, you’ve come to the right place. I’m here to pull the pine needles out of your train and to ensure there are tissues within reach when the inevitable tears fall. I’m wholly invested in you having the time of your life, and capturing it for you to relive time and time again.
I’m entranced by meaningful connection, raw emotions, and moments that can be found when the messiness of humanity interacts with the beauty of nature. We’re a great fit it you are planning a day rooted in love and intention.
I can’t wait to meet you!

FILM INSPIRED
On your search for a wedding photographer, you’ve probably heard of these two styles: “dark and moody” or “bright and airy.”
I don’t believe those terms can truly encapsulate the diversity of emotions, landscapes, and unique humans I have the privilege of capturing.
My style is consistent, yet adapts to each unique moment. My creative process is guided by capturing images that evoke the way things feel. So you can remember not just what it looked like, but be viscerally transported back to that very moment.

Her ideas were refreshing, which set our photos apart from the cookie cutter shoots I've seen in the past. I'm especially happy with how skilled she is capturing the scenery around us while still keeping us as the focal point of the photos.

She is a master at capturing the candid moments and conveying the warmth and joy in her photos. Thank you Makaila, we’re forever grateful we found you!
