Capturing your biggest moments

and all the small ones in between!

I'm Makenna!

Photographer · Pastor · Wife · Momma

My name is Makenna Brooke Runion and I simply love all things “Love”. I cannot help but want to capture every expression of true love that I see. The adoration that is so evident in the eyes of a man as he looks at his bride of 30 years drives me toward loving my man more deeply. The selfless love of a mother as she cares for her toddler inspires me to love my family better. And beauty that God lavishes on His creation, especially His people, pushes me towards an even deeper love for my sweet Jesus. So you see, photographing your love (whether it be love for your spouse, fiance, family or just life itself) is not just a job for me, but it is an act of worship and a true honor.

I am a worshiper of Jesus Christ, an adoring wife of Jared Runion and Momma to India Renee. I am a hopeless romantic, outdoor fanatic and tone-deaf music lover. I have a passion for Gods daughters, a love for their hearts and a vision for their lives. I am a lover of rock climbing, Sydney AU, kayaking, Pinterest and all things Michigan. I can shop with the best of them and can a pitch a tent faster than my dad… usually.

Katelynn, Bride

We hired Makenna in 2018 to do our Disney engagement photos and we immediately clicked with her. We then hired her to do our 2020 wedding in NYC, which we then postponed due to Covid. She was incredibly supportive and flexible throughout the postponement process as we selected a new date. On our wedding day, she was an absolute RAY OF SUNSHINE despite the literal hurricane that was happening. In all the chaos, her positive attitude and energy was contagious, and several guests and wedding party members commented on how much fun she was to work with. When we got our previews, we were completely blown away by how stunning the photos were. I cannot recommend her enough.

Ariel, Bride

Not only is Makenna AMAZINGLY talented, she is incredibly authentic with a genuinely kind and loving heart! She did such a beautiful job capturing the wonder and spirit of our wedding event! Practically every shot glowed with light! One of the VERY BEST decisions that we made was having her be a part of our wedding day. She is super easy to work with, made everyone feel at ease, and captured shots that were stunning!! Absolutely would recommend her!!!!
