new york + destination wedding photographer
I believe the most meaningful photographs come from moments that are genuinely felt.
My approach blends documentary storytelling with editorial direction - capturing your day as it naturally unfolds while gently guiding you when needed. I'm there to preserve the emotion, movement, and connection that makes your story uniquely yours.
Nothing overly posed. Nothing forced.

Honest imagery, artful told
MEET MIKAELA
your new favorite third wheel
I’m an iced coffee in-hand, music always playing, dog-obsessed kind of person who finds joy in the little in-between moments of life. I’m constantly chasing good light, good energy, and anything that feels real.
I’m the type to get way too excited over a good song, roll the windows down just to feel the air, and pause for sunsets even when I’m running late. Dogs will always make me stop what I’m doing, and I will never say no to a coffee run.
Slowing down moments
so you can feel every
emotion over and over again

"Mikaela was so patient"
Mikaela was absolutely amazing!!!! My fiancé and I had never taken professional pictures before, and she made us feel so comfortable from the moment we got there. My fiancé normally doesn’t even like taking pictures, and he actually ended up enjoying the whole experience. Mikaela was so patient, sweet, and helpful with posing, and she made everything feel so natural and easy. You can truly tell how talented and passionate she is about what she does. We are already obsessed with our photos and couldn’t be more thankful for such an amazing experience. I would recommend Mikaela to anyone in a heartbeat!

" such an amazing experience"
We had such an amazing experience with Mikaela for our proposal day! She went above and beyond what we expected and we are so happy and grateful for how the images came out. As an example, Mikaela traveled to the proposal location a month in advance to find the ideal location and make sure all the details were in check. She made us feel so comfortable the day of, is extremely personable, and sent the photos back to us quickly. We would highly recommend Mikaela for your next event!

"She works so hard"
We flew Mikaela down to shoot our destination wedding in Sunny Isles, Florida. She did such an amazing job. Not only were the photos everything we could have dreamed of, but she helped organize and get everything together that day to make it feel stress free. One of the best things about Mikaela is you won't have to wait 3-6 months to get your photos back. She works so hard to make sure to get them to you within the month. 10/10 highly recommend!
Let’s make photos that actually feel like you. Whether it’s your wedding day or a casual family session, we’ll keep it relaxed, have some fun, and create images that tell your story—exactly how it happens.
