Hi, I'm McKenzie.

To be honest, I never thought I would be a wedding photographer. The very idea of it used to make my heart pound and my head swim - being in charge of preserving forever memories just seemed a little too wild. Well, the joke was on me, because this is my eighth year of photographing weddings full time and I honestly cannot imagine doing anything else. I get  get a front row seat to some of life's most sacred and tender moments, and it is one of the greatest honors of my life.

IF THAT TRUST IS THERE, THINGS ARE GOING TO GETREAL GOOD, REAL FAST.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRUST EACH OTHER. THIS IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN YOU AND ME. 

Documentary Wedding Photographer Based in Fredericksburg, TX

You know, the town famous for antiques & peaches...but mostly all those wineries? I was born and raised in the area and always knew this place was special. It’s changed a lot since I was growing up, but I feel incredibly grateful to call this place home.

I have always been drawn to storytelling in all formats, but when I began to travel the camera became my greatest tool to honestly and accurately capture the beauty I encountered. I knew I had found "my thing" and I have never been far from a camera since. Part of my degree was in photography, but I never even considered the possibility of becoming a wedding photographer and at the time I was completely naive to the possibility of photographing a wedding day with a documentary approach. As soon as I was introduced to that world and began to shoot weddings with other photographers, I  quickly came around. Once I could wrap my head around the general flow of the day (and found ways to ease my type-A tendencies) I started to see the entire day open into endless possibility, Yes there would be a ceremony and some kind of celebration, but beyond that infinite possibilities could play out. My favorite part is that I get to bear witness, observe, and anticipate your moments. It is a tremendous honor to preserve not only the "who's" and "what's" of the day but how it felt. It is my job to see your day in its entirety - from the epic all the way down to the moments that go unseen by most. 

I would love to hear about your life over a cup of coffee or a good ol' phone call. And I would be deeply honored to walk along side you during this wild and wonderful season of life! 

let's be friends.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE

the world is big, and people are so beautiful. The farther i travel across this world, the more i realize how similar we all are. love truly is the universal language.

staying inspired isn't always easy in an image-saturated world. For me, getting out in nature, and taking in the world around me is how I recharge.

my favorite way to get to know someone is over a shared meal. dinner parties are something that i treasure. The community of people in my life as well as my family keep me grounded and help me chase after the deepest parts of life.
