Mackenzie + Paul are dear friends of ours, and when they agreed to travel down to Florida for Joey + I’s engagement (unbeknownst to me!), I knew I could only hope to thank them enough with a portrait session on our favorite beach.
We were met with the most even, soft dusk light. I loved Mackenzie’s dress and hat combinationβclassy, beachy, and simple. This evening filled with sweet moments on the shore will always be one of my favorites.
Xo, Michela
so much to learn from you! thank you for inspiring others through your work and more important your honesty during hard times and hard topics!

Michela, after meeting you at one of Grace & Graysonβs parties and discovering you were a photographer, I immediately went to stalk your portfolio. Shortly after, I made Chandler look through all the pictures with me and told him I wanted you to shoot our wedding (whenever that happens) β true story! Youβre extremely talented, and I love how youβve used your gifts to not only gift people priceless memories but also shine the light of Christ through your platform. You have truly done a beautiful job with your site and brand; it certainly does your work justice.
As much as Iβd love to win a giveaway, I feel confident Iβll be working with you in the future – one way or another! @kelsey_rahe

@mykeylyyyy
Girl you about to make me cry! Thank you so much, Mykeyly!!
Michela, your photos are so beautiful! Not going to lie, I have been obsessed with your work for years and always told my now fiance that you would photograph our wedding! Of course, we both have great tastes in wedding dates and me and my fiance chose the same date as you and your husband’s anniversary, so unfortunately booking you for our wedding did not work out. But we would absolutely love the opportunity to get to have a session with you! Your work is timeless and every photo captures the true joy of whoever you’re with. I would love to win the giveaway, but either way I will always be the biggest fan of your photos!
@kinsey_robinson
Kinsey! I’m so sad we both love early September for marriage π But YES, we will definitely have to do a shoot together soon!!
