About Mackenzie Maeder // Photo + Video

Mackenzie Maeder // Photo + Video

Owner/Photographer/Videographer

Hey! I'm Mackenzie - mom, photographer, wife and book + latte obsessed! Ideal day starts with a latte and a bagel sandwich (because going out for breakfast is the BEST) and ends with a good book. Throw in a photoshoot or wedding in the middle and I'm set!! I have been a professional photographer for 14 years now focusing on couples, families and small businesses. I am not a fan of super stiff posing so I use prompts and play games to capture your personalties and relationships. For weddings, most of your gallery will consist of candid shots of your day helping to tell your story. I'd love to chat with you more!!

Recently I have been thinking that I am creating photos with feeling. That I capture how your day felt, who you are in this moment, what your relationship truly looks like with your partner. I want you to look back on your gallery and go "this is so us" or be surprised by all the other special moments I captured that you didn't even know were going on!

    “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mackenzie on several weddings, and every time, I am beyond impressed! Not only does she capture stunning moments, but her professionalism and energy make the entire experience so enjoyable for everyone involved. As a hair and makeup artist team, it’s so important to work with photographers who are organized, friendly, and collaborative, and Mackenzie checks all those boxes and more. The clients always rave about the final images, and I can see why—they are simply breathtaking. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who knows how to make the magic happen, I highly recommend Mackenzie Maeder!”

    Mackenzie and her team were so amazing to work with! They made us all feel so comfortable, they were on top of lists of photos we wanted and could recall them from memory. We had such a fun time taking our pictures with them, they really got us laughing and feeling nice and chill in front of the camera and allowed for our photos to come out so perfect! Would recommend Mackenzie to absolutely anyone and everyone!

    Saying Mackenzie is amazing does not do her justice! I worked with Mackenzie for my engagement photos and my wedding day, and both rounds of photos and videos were breath taking. Mackenzie is so personable and her hard work shows in every aspect of her service. She worked with my husband and I to plan out a whole day of schedule for my wedding, just so we could be sure to get all the photos and moments we wanted. On our wedding day Mackenzie made photos so much fun for us, our wedding party, family, and guests. She was so knowledgeable and even timed out the most perfect golden hour portraits for us! I’m consistently blown away by her work and highly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a wedding photographer and videographer. I will cherish our photos and our wedding video montage forever! She’s simply the best!!
