"Guys, they literally came all the way to Lake Powell to shoot our wedding!"
It was really hard to find anyone who would be willing to travel that far without having to pay a fortune, but when we asked Michael and Ellie they had the best attitude about it and was so excited for us! They said this was a wedding right up their alley, so whether they meant it or not it made us feel great haha, so get married in Lake Powell folks :)
Oh they also picked up our rental boat for us and picked up half our guests so we could focus on getting ready, like what!!! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced service like this 🫶🏻 also the pictures are better than I ever imagined!

"They made our day magical"
We came across the McKinnon Instagram page and fell in love with their work. We had them be the photographer and videographer of our wedding, and when I tell you that words can’t describe how good they did I’m being serious!!!! These photos weren't only of us but all of our friends and family that came. We are able to share this moment with everyone that came and it was so special. It’s been so fun to look back through these photos and remember who attended our wedding and literally feel the joy from the pictures that they took. They worked very well together and never had slip ups. They managed the crowds very well and knew how to be a photographer and videographer. They attended to our every need and we’re so willing to help at our wedding. They made our day magical.

"These moments they captured will be treasured forever in our home"
It was a dream working with McKinnon Photo and Film! We had such a fun time and it shows in our pictures they took. They made everything so comfortable for me and my husband. We had them do our pregnancy announcement pictures, and they did an incredible job capturing our excitement and joy. These moments they captured will be treasured forever in our home. If you want people constantly telling you how good your pictures look, book with them ASAP!
