About Makenzie Leigh Photography

Makenzie Leigh Photography

Hey, I’m Makenzie—an artist first, photographer second. I recently relocated from Tucson, Arizona, to Fairbanks, Alaska, and my portfolio reflects that journey—filled with the warmth of the desert and the wild beauty of the North. My photography is all about storytelling, connection, and capturing love in a way that feels intentional and true to you. I specialize in intimate weddings, elopements, and lifestyle sessions, serving both Fairbanks and Denali. Whether you’re planning something adventurous or deeply personal, I’m here to document it with artistry and heart. Let’s create something beautiful together.

I’m an artist first, and that mindset shapes everything I do. Photography isn’t just about snapping pretty pictures—it’s about telling a story, capturing emotion, and creating something that feels real. I believe your wedding should be a true reflection of you, not just a checklist of traditions. That’s exactly how I approached my own wedding—every choice was intentional, meaningful, and true to who we are. Whether you’re eloping on a mountaintop or having a laid-back celebration with your closest people. I’m here to document it with an artful eye and a deep appreciation for individuality. Your love is one of a kind—your photos should be too.

    I’ve know. Makenzie for several years and it’s always great to have her capture our special moments. It was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected about the wedding, Makenzie was friendly, responsive, and brought a calming presence that helped put us at ease during the planning process. On the day of, their amazing photography skills shone through as they captured all the special moments of our celebration in a natural way. We felt completely comfortable with Makenzie, who also helped keep me calm as the bride by making sure my partner and I could focus on each other. As a queer couple, we also really appreciated Makenzie's inclusive and affirming approach. The final photos are stunning and we're so grateful to have such beautiful memories of our wedding day. Highly recommend Makenzie Leigh Photography!

    Makenzie was one of our first vendors we booked and from the start she was amazing. Her professionalism through the process was A and her storytelling skills are incredible! We chose Makenzie because her values of capturing our story and our loved ones moments aligned with what we were looking for! Makenzie is so personable and made both of us feel comfortable as soon as we met her for our engagement session and we never once doubted our decision to have her photograph our story!

    I AM CRYING! She gave us the most stunning photos that were able to truly capture our genuine reactions and love towards me and my new husband! She was so good at directing and she will be your hype woman. You will feel amazing following a shoot/wedding with her! Would have loved to have found her sooner but will be using her for everything from now on! I can’t say enough amazing things but I wish I could post how amazing her photos were here too just so you can see how amazing the colors and lines came out. 10000/10 recommend!!

    Mackenzie is one of those photographers that have such a rustic, artistic, and loving style. She is such an amazing person to work with when taking photos. She made my wedding into a true fairytale. My husband and I will forever remember her artistry and the time that she had put into our wedding photos! Finding a photographer to take pictures when it’s dark out is not easy, but of course Mackenzie could pull it off! She is a miracle worker!
