Colorado Wedding 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.
I live for a love story. Capturing images that transport you back into the moment is at the core of what I do. That means capturing every little glance in-between moments, the people that make up your community, and the magic in the details - big and small. Then wrapping it all up into a stunning portrait gallery you’ll pass down for generations.
Based in Denver, servicing the Front Range, Vail, Chicago, Illinois & beyond.
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
LOVE THEIR PEOPLE
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.”

Makaila is an unbelievably talented photographer who absolutely went above and beyond with our engagement and wedding photos! Her style of photography and editing captures the day in a way that is truly magic, and she has an eye for candid photos and details that is just STUNNING. She also brought the best energy to the wedding and our engagement session that made us and all our guests feel comfortable (despite some insane weather on our day) and it really shows in the photos! We can't recommend her enough and absolutely loved working with her

Makaila helped me feel so confident creating the most personable day possibly for my husband and I. She knew every question to ask since i didn't know where to start! Makaila made me feel so cared for in what my vision was. She by far creates the smoothest process from start to finish! I couldn't put into words how special she is and how AMAZING her talent is. By far our favorite vendor that we booked, she just checks every box possibly and she also knew when to get to business or to make the room laugh! The photos are UNBELIEVABLY PERFECT. We have received our sneaks so far and what we see is everything we wished for. We can't wait to see the rest of her amazing work!! Please book her!! You will not regret her document style photography if that's what you are looking for!

I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about Makaila and her crew! From the very start of our wedding journey she was kind, creative, patient, and SO great to work with. She captured every magical moment more beautifully than we could have imagined! We are so grateful to have worked with her! She is extremely talented, and so much fun to work with! She made us feel very comfortable, and kept smiles on our faces! We HIGHLY recommend her! These are just a few of the incredible shots she got of our wedding on 9/4/25 [see on Google]. We are OBSESSED!

The guiding light behind my photography style is
staying present,
listening,
&
tuning in to the emotional landscape of the moment.
My work is consistent, yet adapts to each unique scenario in order to encapsulate the diversity of emotions, landscapes, and unique humans I have the privilege of capturing. My creative process is guided by creating 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.
