Years from now, the details you perfectly planned for your wedding will be a distant memory. Photos are one of the only things you have left when the day has come and gone.

Choose a photographer who will capture your day the way you want to remember it. 

Looking back on my wedding day, something I didn't think about beforehand was how much time I would spend with my photographer. Come to think of it, more of the day was spent with them than my husband. 

We're alongside you through the most emotional, exciting, and memorable moments of this incredible day. It's my job to support you, add value to your day, and capture these epic moments telling your story in a meaningful way. 

I'm so excited for you
and thankful you're here!

Mikala is the BEST, we picked her because we loved her style of photos and editing, but once we met her we were blown away by her skills and effortless ease at capturing our favorite moments. She has photographed us through our many stages of life from Engagement to Wedding to Maternity! She has become more than just our photographer but a friend. We could not recommend her enough!

KIND WORDS

HI, I'M MIKALA. 

I've been capturing weddings since I became a bride and realized the profound significance of these moments.

My husband and I got married back in 2018, and that's kind of where all of this started.

I used to think it was SoOOoo cheesy when people said 'your wedding day is the best day ever', but now I get it. What’s better than a WHOLE DAY of people you love celebrating YOU + your BFFL spending the rest of your lives together?! Plus yummy food and drinks, dancing, cake etc... It really is the best.

Following our wedding, I felt myself missing the day so much. It all came and went faster than I anticipated. After I got my photos back, feeling how special it was to relive those moments made me think… “I should do that."

frequently asked questions

HOW MANY WEDDING PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?

I guarantee at least 100 images per hour of coverage, but most wedding galleries I deliver have 1,200-1,500 photos. 

HOW ARE OUR PHOTOS DELIVERED?

Your photos will be delivered in an online gallery where you can view, share and download. Anyone you share the link with will have access to view and download the images as well. 

DO YOU OFFER ANY KIND OF PAYMENT PLANS?

Yes! You can break up the payment however you'd like in your contract, whether it's evenly to pay monthly leading up to the wedding, or in multiple payments of whatever increment you'd like. The full amount is due 10 days before your wedding.

DO WE NEED A SECOND PHOTOGRAPHER? 

I capture every wedding like I'm the solo photographer. So I am more than comfortable shooting without a second shooter. However, if having more viewpoints of different events, and coverage in separate places at once is important to you, you may want to add one! 

DO YOU PHOTOSHOP OUR PHOTOS?

I lightly retouch my images, fixing obvious blemishes and eyesores. Extensive photoshopping such as liquifying is not included, but is available for an extra fee per image.

DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?

Yes! You may be wondering because your venue mentioned something about vendor insurance. I will get you a COI if they require one. 

DO YOU TRAVEL?

I love to travel for weddings + adventure engagement sessions! Reach out to connect on pricing + more info.

Travel fees will apply for all sessions and weddings 65 miles+ outside of Minneapolis.

DO YOU RECOMMEND AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION?

It's completely up to you if you- Many couples use engagement photos for save-the-dates, invitations, website/registries, etc., and of course sharing Facebook & Instagram!
