HI THERE, I’M MAHALA
I’m a small town girl raised by the mountains and deserts of Utah, places that have shaped not only who I am but the way I see the world. My love for photography started over a decade ago, long before I ever thought it would become my career.
Photography has always been my way of speaking when words fall short. I’ve carried a creative heart for as long as I can remember, and over the years that passion grew right alongside my love for the outdoors. I spent years chasing sunrises, sleeping under stars, and learning the language of the landscapes I loved, documenting every mountain, canyon, and desert that made me fall in love with the feeling of being part of something bigger.
As time went on, that connection to these beautiful places naturally led me toward photographing people in them. Becoming an elopement photographer and videographer felt like the most seamless transition, blending my deep familiarity with these landscapes and my love for storytelling.
That magic is still what drives me today. It’s what keeps me chasing golden light, windswept hair, and raw, unposed moments that feel alive.
FILMS
My video packages are all about storytelling, capturing not just what your day looked like, but what it felt like. I blend digital video, Super 8 film, and drone footage to create a cinematic yet nostalgic retelling of your day. Every frame is crafted to feel intentional, emotional, and true to who you are.
PHOTOGRAPHY
My photo packages are designed for the dreamers, the explorers, and the wildly in love. Each one focuses on storytelling, capturing your connection, your laughter, and the way your day truly felt. Whether it’s a mountaintop elopement or a quiet desert ceremony, I aim to create images that feel honest, artful, and alive.
