Selecting the perfect wedding photographer is a pivotal decision in bringing your dream wedding to life. To begin your search, create a mood board that encapsulates your desired style and emotions, offering a benchmark for evaluating potential photographers.

Alyssa
"The sweetest human you can meet: personable, talkative, and has an AMAZING creative eye. It’s a very editorial experience with things like detail shots and cool perspectives. Her editing is also very bright, clean and modern which I love."
Hailey
"Where do I start? Myla was amazing! She was incredibly flexible on dates, with it being rainy season and we had to move things a few times and she was always happy to accommodate. During photos she was easy to talk to, fun to be around, and didn't make things awkward. It was obvious she knew what she was doing and she took into consideration any inspiration I had provided. When we got our photos back I was beyond happy, she definitely exceeded my expectations and everything turned out perfectly! I would 110% recommend her to a friend and would definitely have her take pictures again in the future!!"
Giulia
"I had a fantastic time taking my photos with Myla! She had plenty of location and pose ideas already on hand but was also super happy to try locations and pose ideas of mine. While taking the photos she also paid attention to all the little details which made the photos that much better. Overall, she created a great working environment on the day we took the photos and despite not having a lot of experience taking professional photos like this, I felt super comfortable being in front of the camera. I couldn't be happier with the final photos I got!"
