your legacy, preserved.
BASED IN BOSTON, MILWAUKEE, & CHICAGO - AVAILABLE FOR TRAVEL WORLDWIDE
What stays with you long after the day has passed isn’t just how it looked, it’s how it felt. The quiet exhales before the ceremony, the way hands find each other in a crowded room, the laughter that lingers into the night. My work is rooted in presence and intention, allowing you to fully live your day while I thoughtfully preserve the moments that become your legacy. These images aren’t simply documentation — they’re an invitation to return to the feeling, again and again.
Photographed with intention, so every feeling lasts.
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.
She didn't just take photos - she created moments for us to love forever.

Working with Mikaila was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we met her, she was so easy to talk with and had a warm, positive energy that you know she will bring constantly through the process and your big day.
She is a truly blessed, skilled photographer, but more than that, she is a wonderful listener who remained kind and flexible throughout the entire process. Mikaila captured our joy and happiness so authentically. There isn’t a single picture in our gallery that doesn’t hold special meaning to us.
i could talk about how insanely phenomenal mikaila is forever
I was barely recovered from my hangover before I had 20+ previews, and the next day, 40+ more!? Everything about Mikaila leaves me absolutely speechless. AND !! She hired an associate, Eliana, who is another delightful human to spend your wedding day with. The two of them together are a force to be reckoned with. I can ramble forever, but moral of the story, book Mikaila and thank me later!

I could talk about how insanely phenomenal Mikaila is forever (and I will to anybody who will listen !!!) From day one she felt like family and made the process a breeze. She takes awkward posers and makes you look like effortless models, all while offering you HER water, carrying your dress, hyping you up, and being just amazing in every way possible. Her presence is so calming on your wedding day and every moment leading up to it. Her photos? Worth. Every. Penny. Her turnaround time? Lightning fast.
a wedding and engagement photographer BASED IN BOSTON, MILWAUKEE, + CHICAGO
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!
