About this vendor
I'm so happy you're here. I am a southern California photographer. I live in Ventura County, CA. I service almost all of southern California, including Orange County, San Diego, Temecula, Ventura, Simi Valley, Santa Barbara, etc.
I love to travel and shoot in new locations. I recommend an engagement session which is included in most of my packages. I love engagement sessions because they give me an opportunity to get to know your personalities, style and have fun with you prior to your wedding.
I am very good at capturing many different elements of your day. Your wedding gallery will include the following albums, preparations, formals, ceremony, reception and details. I love to overshoot so you don't have to miss a thing!
xoxo, Mac

anxiety surrounding the 'special day' I found refuge in Mac Dore Photography. Mackenzie's "Mac"method of capturing the special moments along with the details of your wedding day is so effortless I didn't even realize how many shots she had taken. Mac captures the natural moments and blends them the more traditional posing shots. The end product was an album filled with many wonderful photos. Her work captured my partner and I as we really are; happy, being silly and having fun with each other and with our family. This style of photography created more meaningful memories than I could have predicted.
If you want fun, amazing talent and just the perfect pictures to capture your special day then Mac Dore Photography is definitely the way to go! She captured every special moment o...
f my special day! She is so easy to connect with and she just gets everyone into taking pictures (the ones that just dont like cameras lol). I recommend her 120%! ❤
