    The BEST Vendor To Work With

    Mackensey was simply a JOY and made everything seamless for our Wedding. She put us at ease and the photos we received were beyond gorgeous. We attribute this to her way of making you feel comfortable and pick up on your personality as a couple... which is HUGE. None of our photos felt forced or awkward, and she adjusted along the way to deliver.

    The way that Mackensey approaches Wedding photography, in general, is at an expert level. We never felt behind or nervous because of her guidance. She would jump on the phone or text to answer any question. She is extremely organized and has the planning process down! The questionnaire before the wedding helped her...

    An extraordinary experience that stays with us!

    Capturing moments through photography is an art form that requires extraordinary skill. In our research, we found Mackensey's skill and experience on full display in her extraordinary portfolio. And so, we immediately knew we wanted her to capture our wedding day.

    However, our expectations were far exceeded. Not only did we receive an absolutely stunning gallery of photos that beautifully illustrated our love and emotion—we received an extraordinary experience that stays with us. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day. Mackensey is authentically empathetic, very mindful, and keenly perceptive, which created an atmosphere of trust and confidence. This allowed our genuine emotions to truly guide us in front of the camera.

    Mackensey is an...

    A Perfect Day!

    Mackensey Alexander was everything we’d hoped for and more. She’s photographed lots of weddings and I knew before I was even engaged that I wanted her gorgeous style to capture the memories of our special day, forever. I absolutely love her photography style and her as a person. Her energy is the best for any nervous couples, she has a super calming and professional demeanor. I’d recommend her any time again and again.

    Don't know what we would have done without her

    I can't recommend Mackensey highly enough. From our very first phone call, she was kind, supportive, informative, and calming. Her photos speak for themselves -- they are GORGEOUS -- but she also went above and beyond to help us throughout the whole process. We had to reschedule 3x because of COVID, and although it must have been so stressful for her to juggle an entire year of rescheduled weddings, Mackensey was so supportive and flexible. Her presence on the day off was professional and calming, and she worked closely with us leading up to the day to make sure she captured everything we hoped for. Now going through the photos is like living the day over and over again!...

    Mackensey's photos are phenomenal!
    We are so pleased with all of her photos from both our engagement shoot and wedding. From the day we met her she was like a close friend we have known for years. She took the time to get to get to know us to make us feel comfortable. For our engagement shoot Mackensey recommended an amazing location!! Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous we will cherish them forever.

    I can't say enough about Mackensey :) She did our engagement photos and also our wedding photos. Everytime we met with her, she was overly accomodating and willing to work with us as a couple. Knowing that posing for the camera isn't the easiest thing for some people- she always had ideas, props, or photobooks for us to look at and work with. Not only is she a joy to work with, she's extremely professional, punctual and TALENTED. Her work speaks for it's self. Highly recommended!

    The Key to Our Wedding!!

    Put simply, there is no way our wedding would’ve been the dreamy, incredible, nearly perfect day that it was without Mackensey Alexander.

    Shortly after our engagement, before any plans for an actual wedding had crystallized, my wife was certain about two things: she wanted to get married in her hometown of Savannah, and she wanted Mackensey there taking pictures. I was too new to the wedding game to understand why we were building our event around the photographer, but looking back it was just about the most important decision we could have made.

    My wife and I were skeptical of both the wedding industrial complex and some of the traditions and routines that felt inauthentic at best...

    The best experience ever

    The most calming presence around through the whole day. We couldn’t have done it without her. Mac is so kind and exceptionally talented. She started by doing engagement photos for us that helped us build our relationship so that wedding day it was beyond easy. She helped facilitate our first looks and gave invaluable advice the whole day. Finally she’s just such a great person and someone I’m proud to call a friend now. I would recommend her to anyone for anything

    Beautiful work and beautiful person!

    Mackensey was the first person we hired for our wedding and one of the most cherished members of our wedding team by a landslide! Her work is truly an art and I still sit in awe as we look back at the beauty she captured on our special day. She was such a huge help from the moment we added her to our team.

    Let’s be honest, taking pictures with your significant other in front of someone you’ve never met can seem a little nerve-wracking. Not with Mackensey! She was the most calming presence from our engagement shoot to the moment she walked into our bridal house on our big day. Even in the moments of the...

    Incredible

    In the midst of one of the most overwhelming days of our lives, Mackensey captures our joy perfectly. She came into a situation not knowing the venue (being from out of town), or the photo locations we had chosen, and she made them work beautifully. She also found a second shooter in a town that’s not her own that was absolutely amazing. Her editing elicits the exact vibe we were shooting for, and we got “sneak peaks” less than 48 hrs after the wedding. Trust me, you may not think you want pictures immediately, but the moment you get them you’ll obsess for days. She was the perfect mixture of directive and responsive. We are forever grateful that she was the one to capture our day.

    Mackensey is so gifted at the art of photography. Her artistic ability goes above-and-beyond to capture all dimensions of the beauty of the special moments in your life. Hiring her for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. She is so professional, calming, and savvy at what she does. I had a worry-free, fun, and happy experience having her as our photographer. The photos she took were GORGEOUS with highest quality artistry. A+, 5-stars, 5/5, essential, highly recommend!

    Let me start this review off by saying, my husband and I had a destination wedding in Savannah and I was not a bride that enjoyed wedding planning. With that being said, have you ever met someone where you look back and think, “Thank God, they were a part of that moment”? That’s how I feel about Mackensey, her 2nd shooter, and her assistant. They truly made our wedding day amazing. The energy they exude helped me relax during this emotional, nerve-racking day (even when I had a minor meltdown with my dress [thanks Skye for helping me find my bustle]). Their encouragement also helped us feel confident in front of the camera. Our "sneak peak" photos turned out...

    Mackensey is wonderful!!!! Not only is she an amazing photographer, she is SO incredibly sweet. She made my husband and me feel so relaxed during engagement and wedding photos. She is so kind and calm that it truly made us feel so comfortable, and we felt like we could be ourselves around her. One of the most special parts of our wedding was right after our ceremony when we are on the beach taking pictures. My husband and I were so giddy and excited and she just made everything so easy and fun. Her vibe and style is ON POINT.

    We have had so many compliments on our album and love our photos so much that we...

    To me and my husband, there was no more important decision than finding the right person to capture our day in a way that matched our style. We definitely chose the right person. Mackensey's photos are so unique and have a raw-quality about them, which made her an instant favorite when scouring portfolios. After speaking to her, I knew it was right. She was friendly, knowledgeable and even tossed a few other vendor recommendations my way (which was much appreciated!) She even went above and beyond and recommended a babysitter for our flower girls!
    We were so nervous for our engagement photos, but Mackensey put us at ease and it was great to get to meet her prior...

    Mackensey is such a pleasure to work with, and we could not have asked for a better photographer for our engagement and our wedding. Her calm, positive energy made both sessions easy and enjoyable. She did such a wonderful job capturing the joy of both occasions, and we felt we could relive them through her photos. So many of our guests commented to us about how sweet our photographer was, and we can't recommend her highly enough!

    Mackensey was the perfect fit for our wedding shots. Check out her gallery and you will agree. She had fresh ideas, was prompt and matched our personality. Our pictures were, by far, better than what we expected. We highly recommend her.

    I have never been luckier than the day I stumbled upon the most stunning little vendor booth at Savannah’s Behind the Veil bridal show in 2013! Not only did I get the chance to meet the wonderful Mackensey Alexander but I landed myself a kick-butt, styled engagement session! Little did I know then that I had also found the PERFECT match for what I considered the most important role in my wedding - the photographer - as well as beautiful, kind friend! Her style, her charm, her overall vibe, it blew me away...and sure enough, so did her work!

    I don't even know where to start! Mackensey was the first vendor we booked for our wedding. The person that we chose to capture our wedding day was so important to us, and we could not have picked anyone more perfect. After the first meeting I had with Mackensey, I knew that she was the type of person I wanted to work with. I had already seen her work so I knew I loved how she photographed, but it was important to us that all of our vendors, that would be there on our wedding day, were people that we would want to share in that special occasion. She fit that expectation 100%. Eric and I aren't the type...

    Mackensey was fantastic from the very beginning. We did all the planning long distance as my wedding was in Ohio. She is so kind and had great ideas when I had any questions. I was initially nervous about getting photographed all day, but she made me and my husband feel at ease and it was so nice to have a vendor that was was so stress free. She even came early to capture photos at the hair salon!

    I'm so happy with the final product. If you are even considering booking with Mackensey - do it. It will be one less thing to worry about on your big day as she will handle everything with kindness and capture your day in a candid unique way that me and my family will continue to cherish forever.

    Mackensey was the absolute perfect choice for our photographer! Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is such a wonderful person. Having someone take photos of you and your significant other can we intimidating, but she makes you feel so comfortable. Your photographer is with you through every step of the process and I was so happy to have her there with me. She is so laid back and a welcomed presence when things can become hectic. I would and have recommended Mackensey to many friends and family, as she is truly one of a kind! No one could have captured our day as perfectly as she did!

    Mackensey is absolutely wonderful! She's not only a fantastic artist, but she's a very kind person. We are so pleased with how our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out. My husband and I often feel very awkward behind the camera, but Mackensey made us feel very at ease while getting our pictures taken. Mackensey is very talented at what she does and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. My husband and I absolutely love our photos and will continue to cherish them for years to come.

    I loved working with Mackensey! She really became a part of our wedding. She did our engagement photos, photos at our rehearsal dinner, and our wedding. I asked her impromptu to stay a little late and she was such a good sport! She is so funny and sweet and seems to get to know each of her clients and treat them like more than a client. Now about my pictures.. I got them back a few days ago.. and they are absolutely stunning. Breath taking! I couldn't be a happier newlywed :) Thank you Mackensey!

    On June 13, my husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mackensey. Asking her to capture our day was the smartest wedding decision I made. The wedding process was overwhelming for me, but she put all our nerves at ease. She made us feel completely comfortable during both our engagement shoot and our wedding photos, which is crucial to creating shots that reflect real emotions. She was professional but also fun and friendly. Looking back I realized this is the perfect combination of attributes. Our photos were everything we could ask for and more. She is an artist that creates the perfect environment for sincere moments, and then develops them into pictures you will absolutely love. Wedding...

    Choosing Mackensey as our photographer was hands-down the best wedding-related decision that my husband and I made. Aside from the structure of our ceremony and vows, photography was the single most important element of our big day, and if you want the best, Mackensey is it.

    Our first confirmation of this decision was at our engagement photo session. It’s important to remember that while I don’t mind sitting for photographs, my husband is the exact opposite. After our session with Mackensey, he couldn’t stop saying was how easy, fun, and efficient the entire morning was. When we got the pictures back, I was shocked to see how perfectly Mackensey was able to capture the essence of our relationship....

    From the beginning the photography has always been the most important thing to me. I knew that no matter how much money we spent on a spectacular venue, the perfect dress, or the prettiest flowers, it would all fall short if we didn’t have awesome photos to look back and live through in the years to come. After spending hours online searching for photographers, my fiance (now husband) and I decided to inquire with Mackensey.

    The quality that stood out to me the most about Mackensey was her desire to get to know her clients on a deeper level. From the very first time we met her for coffee, I could see her passion for people shining forth....
