Colorado Wedding & Elopement Photographer

You love each other deeply—but the idea of planning a wedding with your family dynamic? Complicated. Maybe even traumatic. You’re not dreaming of a 200-guest ballroom moment. You’re just trying to picture a day that feels safe, intentional, and real.

And hey—if you’re sitting in your car decompressing after a phone call with your mom, blasting sad girl indie and wondering how to even start thinking about this day… Hi. I’m your wedding photographer.

I create honest, intentional images that honor the real stories behind each couple — not the traditions they feel obligated to follow. As someone who didn’t grow up seeing “picture-perfect” love, I’m here to document what’s true for you, however messy, complex, or beautiful that looks. Your love isn’t a performance. It’s a moment worth remembering exactly as it is.

PHOTOS CREATED FOR THE PEOPLE IN THEM

As a kid from a divorced home, I never really saw weddings as that one perfect, buttoned-up, fairytale day. Traditions like “getting ready with both parents” or “walking down the aisle with dad” — those were never things I related to. So when I photograph weddings, I don’t come with a checklist of what’s supposed to happen. I come ready to honor you — and all the layers of what brought you to this moment.

Because let’s be honest: life, relationships, and being human? They’re complicated. And that’s what makes your love story so damn beautiful. Whether you’re exchanging vows in a quiet corner of the mountains or throwing a big, loud celebration with all your people — if it’s true to who you are, then it’s worthy of being documented with intention and care.

Everything you’ve carried, everything you’ve let go of, everything you’ve fought for — it’s all part of why you’re here, madly in love with your person, choosing to commit in a way that’s meaningful to you.

Your wedding day is just one day — but your photos will outlive it. They'll be the way you remember what it felt like, long after the cake is gone and the dress is packed away.

I create art from the real, the raw, the joyful, the honest.
I’m just grateful to be trusted with it.

Do you remember discovering your favorite song for the first time?

You know how you feel every time you listen to that same song, now, years later?

I believe your wedding photos should make you feel the same way.

Seen and True to who you are.
No matter what your story is.

What an experience! McKenzie is not only a naturally talented photographer but a great human all around. She took on our large Indian wedding like a champ and ran the show like she had done it a million times. The photos were of course amazing, capturing the smallest moments with stunning photos. Her photos were delivered right on time and she was completely transparent and organized every step of the way. McKenzie was one of our favorite vendors and we honestly developed a great friendship

"McKenzie is the perfect balance between your lovingly protective best friend (who will not take any sh*t from your guests(weddings make people get weird)) and a consummate professional. Her skills at both planning and photography are unmatched and she was invaluable throughout our process as neither my spouse or I had ANY idea what to expect or do. She is an excellent listener and when things get hard planning (and they will) she will always tell you to do you."

“As someone who comes with family issues, I was never once made to feel like my choices were anything but 100% valid, normal, etc. and I will never be able to thank her enough for that. She is truly an angel from start to finish. Coming from two people who are not particularly fond of PDA or posing for pictures, we were never made to feel uncomfortable or out of place and that is not my experience with most weddings. We truly had the most magical day and I can confidently say that was because of McKenzie”

On the wedding day, Kenzie was an absolute joy to work with. She has this incredible ability to put people at ease, which was such a gift considering how nerve-wracking it can be to be in front of the camera. We never felt rushed or pressured, and that’s such a rare and special quality in a photographer. She made us laugh, encouraged us to be ourselves, and helped us to capture not just beautiful photos, but moments of real emotion and connection. She was also incredibly organized and efficient, which made everything flow smoothly—especially given the hectic pace of the day
