SOLEADA PHOTOS
Hi! I'm Makayla, a Montana-based wedding and elopement photographer with a love for the outdoors and a heart for documenting your story. I’m living a life I could’ve only dreamed of getting to photograph the most important moments of people's lives.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me in the mountains with my husband and golden retriever, then slowing down with friends and family over a hot cup of coffee.
I am inspired by the way stories unfold naturally, through genuine connection and slow moments shaped by the landscape around us. Blending digital and film photography, I focus on creating thoughtful, timeless imagery that reflects each story with honesty and intention. I'd love to document and tell yours!

"Makayla is the absolute BEST!! She’s your own personal cheerleader as she’s taking pictures, but she’s actually the star of the show with her skills!

It honestly feels like you’ve been lifelong friends once you’ve had a session together – you couldn’t choose anyone better than Makayla."
