"We were so blessed to have Makena as our wedding photographer! She was flexible and patient with ever changing plans, and so personable with my husband (still crazy to say that!) and I, as well as our friends and family. It truly felt like we just had another friend there with us. When they day got hectic Makena rolled with everything that came her way, she was commanding when we needed her to be and completely respected when we were over the staged photos and just wanted time to enjoy our day, all the while she was still getting beautiful photos. We definitely prioritized having a good time with our loved ones over anything else, and Makena made sure that happened, and made sure all that joy was captured. I can't wait until I have another excuse to hire a photographer because she was genuinely such a joy to work with."
