Mackenzie Maeder // Photo + Video

r shoot our wedding! I also love that she had options available for us that made it so we could choose a shorter timeframe of coverage since it was a small wedding and we didn’t need all day coverage. She was so easy to work with and the photos I’ve seen so far have been stunning!

and the beautiful work she does!

rk with, and we got both for our wedding. Mackenzie and Lex are not only an amazing team to work with, but also crazy talented! Mackenzie's style of photography truly captures the day through special candid moments that I find photographers not doing enough. I cannot recommend Mackenzie and Lex to capture your wedding day enough!

e and Lex pre-COVID with planning and for our engagement session. As two people who don’t have many “good” pictures together, Mackenzie made us feel comfortable and natural during our session and we ended up using our engagement pictures for our Save the Dates!! It brings tears to my eyes thinking about how wonderful and accommodating Mackenzie and Lex were once COVID began impacting the world around us. We appreciated their positive and realistic outlook at a time when news was literally changing by the minute. We even had to change the date of our wedding because of logistics and Mackenzie and Lex were ready to make it happen and supported our choices no matter what! In the end, we absolutely treasure the memories that Mackenzie and Lex captured on our perfectly imperfect wedding day. We’re so grateful for their kindness and talent - if you need a photographer who will be on your side through it all (literally!), Mackenzie and Lex are your people!

them to capture our big day(s), but because they genuinely care about who they work with. They have so much energy and it is so contagious. Our engagement shoot was a blast and my husband and I felt so comfortable just being ourselves. I loved that it wasn't a staged shoot with standard poses. The smiles and laughter in our pictures were genuine. They were thrilled when we told them we wanted to shotgun beers during our shoot. And let me tell you the pictures turned out amazing. When Covid hit the first vendor I heard from was Mackenzie. She was so sweet in offering to help us with planning/replanning in any way she could. Ultimately we had to switch our big reception and Mackenzie was so understanding. She solidified our new date and continued to offer support and help throughout such a stressful situation. We kept our wedding date despite rescheduling the reception and got married at my brother in law's lake house. We decided to have Mackenzie and Lex come out to capture our big day. Let me tell you, we are so unbelievably happy we did. Not only did the pictures turn out amazing, but once again they both were so ready and willing to help with final touches as well as to help provide some smiles and laughs before the start of the ceremony. They captured every aspect of the ceremony and I truly feel like they never missed a beat when shooting. After the ceremony they were so organized with getting the family shots. Despite these being more "formal" shots, they still didn't feel staged. I can't speak enough great things about our experience with Mackenzie and Lex. I'm so glad we found them and can't wait to have them shoot our big reception next year. The amount of care these two have for their clients is next level. I truly felt like we had friends capturing our big day and cheering us on along the way. I am more than happy to refer any friends and family and well anyone who will listen to these amazing people.

out about it. They were just as excited about our photos as we were and captured our relationship perfectly. I would recommend then hands down, every time :)

was personable, polite, and friendly. They did a phenomenal job capturing all the special moments, and we LOVED the sneak peeks she posts to social media while editing the photos. Neither Kaitlyn or I are very artistic so taking couples photos can be awkward at times. Where should I stand? Does my face look weird? What do I do with my hands? Mackenzie did an incredible job of guiding us through all of our painfully basic questions and made us feel extremely comfortable during our engagement and wedding photos. It was soooooooo much fun working with them!!!!! I HIGHLY recommend Mackenzie and her team to anyone who is looking for a fun, friendly, and highly professional photographer to capture any and all of the special moments in their life.

who make you comfortable and not awkward in front of the camera which is vital when finding a good photographer. This really shows through in the finished product. It you're looking for natural photos to have for a lifetime, go with Mackenzie and Lex. They also created our wedding album for us and it was so perfect. We received a hard cover book with photo's printed in various sizes as well as a USB.

g! One thing you should know is that my husband and I are not exactly the most natural in front of the camera (read SO awkward), yet they made us feel instantly comfortable and we LOVE our photos! From our engagement shoot to the wedding day it felt like I was emailing with a friend and I was so grateful for the suggestions and the detailed planning Mackenzie did. There was never a moment of feeling like we didn’t know what to do. She is also always up for any ideas! From having our incredibly squirrly dog involved in the pictures to being outside in sub-zero weather, they were down! I often read reviews looking for someone to affirm my choice, and if you are reading looking for that, this is it! Seriously, I researched a ton and am SO glad we chose Mackenzie and her team. They made our wedding day that much more special, and we will be forever grateful to them. I will absolutely use them for all future celebrations and moments we want to remember!

nal and approachable, Mackenzie is a natural behind the camera, and always finds beautiful ways to incorporate warmth and light to her photos. It is so obvious that Mackenzie loves what she does and I would highly recommend her a million times over!
