Alabama Couples Photographer Telling Stories For Couples Who Feel Deeply

the

I picked up my first camera at the age of 5, and from that moment, I was in love & there’s been no stopping me. I’ve always been drawn to real connection. The wild kind. The soft kind. The kind that stays with you.
Now I work as a cinematic Alabama wedding photographer and Gulf Shores couples photographer, capturing love stories that feel like a movie. I document the intimate, the messy, and the unforgettable — whether we’re on the coast of Orange Beach, in the streets of 30A, or somewhere deep in the woods of Alabama.
If you want to look like you stepped straight out of a romcom movie & work with someone who’s not just a photographer, but a lifelong friend by the end of it all, I’m your girl.

Macayla created an unforgettable experience where we felt completely comfortable, and the stunning photos speak for themselves

"I would absolutely recommend Macayla to everyone! My husband and I felt so comfortable and free during our session. It was truly an unforgettable experience that I will talk about for years to come! There just aren't enough words to describe it! The photos speak for themselves"

Every session with Macayla feels deeply personal, capturing meaningful moments with care and attention to detail.


"Booking with Macayla is always a deeply personal experience. She has a unique ability to make every session feel tailored just for me, capturing moments that truly affect who I am. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients shine through in every photo. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my most cherished memories!"

Macayla effortlessly turns love into art, making couples feel comfortable while delivering cherished, heartfelt images.

"I HIGHLY recommend Macayla to anyone looking to turn their love into art! She made me and my boyfriend feel so comfortable, and gave us the chance to just be us! We had the best time, and received the SWEETEST pictures that I will cherish for the rest of my life! Also coming from a fellow photographer, she is amazing to work with, and so talented!"

Macayla’s warm, personal approach made our session effortless, even turning my camera-shy husband into a fan of the experience!

“Working with Macayla was an incredible experience. My husband and I wanted to capture our love in a way that felt real and personal, and Macayla absolutely nailed it. From the moment we met, she made us feel so comfortable, like we’d been friends for years. It was so easy to be ourselves around her! She took the time to get to know us weeks before the shoot, and made sure we felt prepared and relaxed for the day. The energy between us and her was just amazing, and it completely calmed any anxiety I had. My husband usually hates having his picture taken, but by the end of our session, he said, ‘Wow, I actually loved this!"
