hey there! i'm mayla and i'm so happy you're here!

I’m a wedding photographer who’s endlessly inspired by love, emotion, and the beauty of genuine connection. Based in Utah and traveling wherever your story takes me, I’m drawn to the kind of moments that make you pause, the way your partner looks at you when you’re not watching, the laughter that fills the room, the quiet stillness just before you say “I do.”

My journey with photography began in high school, when I realized how powerful a single image could be in holding on to a feeling. After my own wedding, I fell completely in love with documenting love stories, not just how they look, but how they feel. That passion turned into Mayla Jean Photography, a space where emotion and artistry meet.

My style blends candid, documentary storytelling with timeless editorial posing, creating a collection that feels both effortlessly real and beautifully refined. I photograph using both digital and film to preserve each moment with authenticity, depth, and warmth. More than anything, I want your photos to bring you back to how it all felt, not just on your wedding day, but for years to come.
