holding on to
how it felt
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN + Destination Wedding photographer
What a gift it is to be fully present. Your wedding day is about your love and the people closest to you—simple as that. I’m here to help you soak it all in while capturing every part of it: the big moments, the quiet in-betweens, and everything that made the day yours. These aren’t just photos—they’re a feeling you can return to, again and again.
where emotion lives, and memory lingers
EVERY LITTLE DETAIL WE HOPED FOR, SHE CARED FOR WITH SUCH ARTISTRY AND PRECISION.
She truly loves what she does, and it shines through in every photo. Throughout the entire process, from planning to the actual day, she worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life. Every little detail we hoped for, she captured with such artistry and precision, and the results were beyond anything we could have imagined. We can’t stop looking at the photos—she has a gift for immortalizing the most precious, candid moments in the most beautiful way.
If you’re looking for someone who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also bring a sense of ease and fun to your wedding day, look no further. She’s the kind of person who feels like a lifelong friend by the end of it all, and we are so grateful to have had her as part of our special day.

BOOK MIKAILA!! She will leave you in awe. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! From the moment we met her, we knew we were in the best hands. She is not only incredibly talented but also so genuine and down-to-earth. She has a unique ability to make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which made such a difference on our big day. Her goofiness and vibrant personality really helped break the ice, making us feel like we were hanging out with a friend rather than someone we had just hired.
Booking mikaila was the easiest decision and one i'll thank myself (and her) for forever.
The support she showed me throughout the entire day is a joy to think back on. And the end result (the photos) speak for themselves. They're honestly art. They're our love and happiness frozen in time, and I can't explain how happy I am that we invested in having Mikaila document our memories. After both sessions we received our photos quickly and they were perfect. The lighting, editing, all of it.

She did our engagement photos in Colorado and after that experience I knew without a DOUBT she had to shoot our wedding photos in Wisconsin. The way she's able to maintain total professionalism while also being an absolute hype chick, instant friend, calmer-of-nerves, problem solver (hello wedding day rain and time crunches), and beacon of positivity is really something else. I thought a lot about how I wanted my day to be perfect, but I didn't realize how much my vendors' dispositions would play into that whole dynamic until afterwards. Your photographer is with you the whole wedding day, and I'm so happy it was Mikaila standing with me during mine.
She made our entire bridal party and guests feel so comfortable. It was seriously so much fun being in front of her camera.
My hubby and I are so lucky to have such beautiful photos to look back on from our special day. 💕 We will forever recommend Mikaila for any photography needs! We cannot wait to use her again in the future!!!!

We cannot say enough good things about Mikaila!!! We are so grateful she joined us for our destination wedding in M.E.X.I.C.O with all of our family and friends. First and foremost, she is the sweetest person ever. She truly cares about her clients and wants to be sure to provide you not only AMAZING photos, but also an enjoyable experience. Our guests were all so impressed with her professionalism and jaws were most definitely dropped when she shared our photos.

Photography has become much more to me than simply taking photos. It has become a way for me to connect with my couples, happy cry with your people when they see you with your dress on on the morning of your wedding day, smile ear to ear when you get to see your partner for the first time, belly laugh with your wedding party on the party bus, and be so touched by your families speeches. This career has led me into the most beautiful of spaces and stories, and I cannot wait to see where it takes me next.
I’m Mikaila!
