About MJMaiden Photography
MJMaiden Photography
My name is Makenzi but most people call me M.J. I am a Destination Wedding and Elopement photographer that travels all over the country to beautiful destinations to witness the greatest love stories! My photography style is warm, vibrant, and authentic. I love working with all different types of individuals (that become friends) and capturing some of the most unforgettable moments through my lens. I like to create a comfortable space for my clients to be completely themselves in order to capture candid moments that tells their story! My career is photography, but my passion is people.
The biggest reason why I absolutely love being a photographer is capturing those celebratory moments in life that deserve to be remembered. For those couples who connect with my work and style, I'M 100% ALL IN!!! Which means I'll do anything and everything to make sure you have a great experience with me! Whether that be hyping you up on your big day, bustling your dress, planning timelines to make sure everything runs smoothly, getting down with you on the dance floor, you name it, I AM YOUR GIRL! It's YOUR day so you deserve nothing but the best. Let's capture your love uniquely and beautifully!

Magic in every shot
I am floored. Not only was it a delight working with MJ. She. Is. MAGIC! She super responsive in helping me plan the surprise proposal of a lifetime for my bride to be AND she went above and beyond to get the shots, even doing location sharing back and forth so I could make sure to be in the best location for the surprise shot! HIGHLY recommend — have no clue how she's not booked out every weekend. If you can book her, DO IT! She makes magic happen.
Wedding 5.25.25
She brought such a calm and joyful energy to every moment—it truly made the entire experience unforgettable. From our engagement session to our wedding day, she made us feel so seen, so special, and completely at ease in front of the camera. The photos she captured are nothing short of magic: beautifully pure, deeply romantic, and filled with genuine emotion. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We’re already looking forward to having her capture our next chapter in life!
Windansea Beach Proposal Shoot
MJ is just a phenomenal professional to work with. I reached out to MJ to capture my proposal to my girlfriend at Windansea Beach. MJ went above and beyond with her preparations and even got on numerous phone calls with me to help me with the planning to ensure I had the perfect location on the beach for the perfect shot. MJ got to the location early to scout out the area and caught our magical moments for us. MJ is the ultimate professional and is extremely kind and easy to work with. The quality of the pictures speak for themselves, but MJ's sincerity and care are what make her a joy to work with. I would 1000% recommend MJ for your photoshoot.
Great experience! MJ is a professional!
We booked MJMaiden Photography and MJ was friendly, calm, easy-going and her communication style put us at ease. She was prompt, professional, and delivered beautiful photos that perfectly captured our special day. MJ adapted to the fact that our entire wedding party wasn't present at the same time, she was patient with photo requests, and she helped everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We would totally recommend working with her!
