capturing your memories xx.
Hi, I’m Makenzie! A western elopement photographer and filmmaker documenting love stories that feel real, intentional, and true to the people living them. I’m drawn to honest moments, natural connection, and days that don’t feel forced or overly structured.
I work with couples who care more about how their day feels than how it looks on paper. Whether that means hiking to a mountain overlook in Colorado, eloping in the deserts of Utah, exchanging vows in Wyoming’s wide open landscapes, or celebrating under the skies of Montana. Your day should feel like you.
My goal is always the same. To tell your story in a way that feels natural, timeless, and completely your own.
Your wedding day shouldn’t feel like a production. It should feel like your day. My wedding and elopement photography packages are designed for couples who want their day captured with true, raw emotion in a way that feels natural and unposed. From intimate weddings to adventurous elopements across Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, I focus on making the experience feel relaxed and meaningful. When you look back at your gallery, I want you to feel the laughter, the happy tears, and every little moment in between everything that made your day unforgettable.

I shoot super 8 wedding film to capture wedding days in a way that feels timeless, nostalgic, and deeply emotional. Super 8 allows me to document real moments with texture and movement, creating a wedding film that doesn't just show your day, but lets you truly feel it.
My wedding videography and super 8 wedding films focus on genuine connection. Laughter, the quiet glances, the way love shows up in the smallest moments. Every cinematic wedding video is intentionally crafted to feel authentic and nostalgic, giving you a film that brings you back to your wedding day and the love you shared, OVER & OVER again.
Elopements are about following the feeling. Choosing love, adventure, and a day that feels completely your own. I photograph and film elopements for couples who want to wander somewhere beautiful, move slowly, soak in every moment together.
I spend a lot of my time in places like Grand Teton National Park, Glacier National Park, Colorado, and Texas. Helping couples dream up days that feel effortless and intentional. From location ideas and gentle timeline planning to navigating permits and the not-so-fun logistics, I'm there to make the planning feel simple and exciting, not overwhelming.
When the day arrives, I document it the way it unfolds. Wind in your hair, hands held tight, quiet laughs, and wide-open views. Through photography, videography, & super 8 film, your memories are captured with a sense of movement, nostalgia and heart. So when you look back, you don't just see it... you feel it.
And if your story leads somewhere new, I'll happily follow.

Pat & Nichole's New Year's Eve elopement in Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole, Wyoming was pure winter magic. From cozy cabin first look in Alpine, Wyoming to snowy vows at Snake River overlook, the Tetons did all the talking. They ended the night celebrating at the cowboy bar in Jackson Hole. The best kind of way to ring in the new year.
