I’m Makayla!

I’m from the Charlotte, NC surrounding area and my love for photography started when I was a kid, but it really grew in high school when I took broadcasting. Later, while studying business in college, I realized I could turn that passion into something bigger—and that’s how Makayla Film & Co. came to life.

When I’m capturing a wedding, my goal is simple: I want you to enjoy your day to the fullest while I preserve the memories you’ll treasure forever. From raw, in-between moments to breathtaking portraits, I focus on telling your story in a way that feels real and timeless. I strive to create beautiful work that feels timeless and creative at the same time.

But I’m not just a wedding photographer and videographer. I have a genuine love for helping small businesses showcase their brand, capturing the energy of sports, and photographing couples in all stages of life. For me, every project is an opportunity to tell a story worth remembering.

Outside of work, I’m a wife, a dog mom, and I’m a big traveler (sometimes I’m away more than I’m home!). I love the beach, hiking, hosting events and parties, staying involved in my church, and exploring new places—especially if it involves trying a new restaurant.

At the end of the day, this isn’t just a job for me—it’s a way to capture moments, memories, and milestones that truly matter. I’d be honored to tell yours.
