Capturing love through the lens...
Wedding photography is an essential aspect of any wedding celebration. It captures the special moments, emotions, and memories that couples and their loved ones will treasure for a lifetime. From the exchange of vows, to candid moments with family and friends, wedding photography beautifully documents every important detail of the day. Wedding photography provides couples with a way to relive their special day and share their love story for years to come.
My name is Micayla Friend
Capturing special moments for others is a true passion of mine. Weddings allow me to witness and capture one of the most joyous and intimate moments in a couple's life. Being part of such a significant day is an incredible honor, and I am always amazed by the love and happiness that fills the air. With each click of the camera, I strive to freeze those fleeting moments of genuine emotion, from tears of joy to laughter and heartfelt embraces. It is so fulfilling to know that my photos will become cherished memories, treasured for a lifetime. The opportunity to be a visual storyteller, weaving together the intricate details, the raw emotions, and the profound connections, fuels my love for wedding photography.
Film photography
Embracing Timelessness
Taking film photos brings me an indescribable sense of joy and fulfillment. There's a magical quality to film that cannot be replicated by any other medium. The anticipation and excitement of shooting on film, knowing that each click is permanent and cannot be altered, adds a level of intention and mindfulness. Film allows me to be more intentional and thoughtful with each frame, resulting in a more deliberate and artistic approach. The soft tones, rich textures, and subtle imperfections create a timeless and nostalgic feel, radiating with authenticity and emotion. Shooting on film challenges me to be more present, to trust my instincts, and to capture the essence of the couple's love story in its purest form. This is why I include film in each of my packages.

What’s your style/approach to wedding photography?
As a photographer, my goal is to create a comfortable and unobtrusive environment that allows you and your loved ones to be yourself, enabling me to capture those genuine and fleeting moments that tell the beautiful story of your love. I believe that timeless wedding photography goes beyond trends or filters - it's about capturing the essence of your relationship and preserving it for generations to come. To me, it's not just about capturing beautiful images, but about weaving together a visual narrative that authentically showcases the essence of your love story. I believe in taking a personalized and thoughtful approach, getting to know you as a couple and understanding your unique vision for your wedding. This allows me to create a tailored experience that reflects your style, personality, and the emotions that make your relationship so special. I strive to create a relaxed and enjoyable environment, allowing you to be fully present in the moment, while I discreetly document the genuine emotions, tender gestures, and intimate details that make your wedding day truly unique. With an artistic eye and a passion for storytelling, I aim to capture not just the events, but the emotions, connections, and narratives that unfold throughout the day. My approach is rooted in creating images that are not only stunning and evocative but also timeless and cherished reminders of the love and joy that permeates your wedding day.
Do you require a deposit?
Upon booking, a 30% deposit fee is required. This will go towards the total cost of the package. Paying a deposit is an important part of the booking process. A deposit not only secures your spot on my calendar, but it also means that I can fully commit to your wedding day. With a deposit in hand, I can confidently turn down other clients who may inquire about my services on the same day. In addition, a deposit protects both of us in case of unforeseen circumstances. For example, if a couple cancels last minute, I can be confident that the inconvenience of losing work has been compensated, while the couple has put a fair amount to hold their date. By paying a deposit, you can be sure that I am dedicated to capturing your special day and invested in providing you the best possible experience. It is a commitment on both ends that helps to set the tone for a positive and successful working relationship.
How soon will we get our photos?
Depending on your package, it can take up to 6 weeks to deliver your full gallery.
What is your booking process?
After receiving a contact form from you via my website we will set up a time for us to chat either in person or by phone. During this consultation, I will ask you questions about your wedding vision, must-have shots, wedding timeline, and venue details. This allows us to choose a package that perfectly fits your needs and budget. After you decide on a package I will email you a formal confirmation and contract outlining the details of our agreement. This includes the photography package, number of hours I will be shooting, photo delivery details, payment schedule, and other important details. Once I receive the deposit and signed contract your date will be secured and we can begin planning out the details of your day!
