Who Am I Hiring?


Hi, I’m Mikaela —

your calm in the wedding day whirlwind.

 

I’m the one quietly capturing the stolen glances, the shaky hands before the vows, and the way your grandma beams at you from the front row. I believe wedding photography should feel effortless, emotional, and timeless — like reliving a memory, not posing for one.

 

With Butterfly Wedding Photography, I bring a soft, romantic touch to every wedding and engagement session I shoot. I guide when needed, blend in when it matters most, and focus on what really lasts: the connection, the feeling, the story.

 

Whether you’re having an intimate elopement or a big celebration, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and fully yourselves.

 

Let’s capture your love — the way it felt, not just the way it looked.

FAQ

How do you photograph weddings?

I love being by your side to help you before your wedding day. The best moments for the couple photos, the different lights... and it's really exciting for me to receive photos of your dress, shoes, invites... etc! On your wedding day, all I want to capture is the feelings, the mood, the emotions, the calm and crazy moments and all the details that make your wedding unique.

Where are you based and do you travel?

I'm Minnesota based in US and yes, I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. But no worries, I always try to find the cheapest way to come because I love the way my creativity creates, and I don't want it to be a hassle for you!

When will we get our photos?

Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 8 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites!

How many pictures will we receive?

For a 8 hours coverage wedding, you will receive between 200-600 fully edited images. I always choose quality rather than quantity and that's why I will choose the best and more significant photos to tell your story.
