Your wedding day deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt, full of emotion, beauty, and meaning
At Mayla Jean Photography, I capture love stories through a blend of digital and film, combining candid documentary moments with the elegance of traditional and editorial portraiture. Whether in the heart of Utah or across oceans, I approach every wedding with an eye for authentic emotion and timeless artistry.
My passion lies in creating photographs that go beyond the posed. The kind that take you right back to the laughter, the stillness, and the rush of your day. For couples who crave both authenticity and luxury, my work offers a heartfelt balance of real emotion and refined storytelling.

"Mayla was my wedding photographer in Oct. 2024 and I was so lucky to have her. During the entire event, she was absolutely amazing and I can’t imagine anyone else capturing our day for us. Our pictures turned out stunning, and she captured so much of our day. Recently, I was just looking through our wedding photo book and the photos that she took really were able to take us through our wedding day. I would recommend Mayla to anyone and everyone! She is unbelievably talented and she puts so much into her artistry."

"My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Mayla! From start to finish she was incredibly easy to communicate with, always quick to respond and super organized. She delivered our photos so quickly, and they turned out absolutely beautiful. On our wedding day she truly went above and beyond what we imagined a photographer would do. She was more than just someone behind the camera, she helped keep things running smoothly, offered kind words when we were nervous, and made us feel completely at ease. We’re not usually comfortable in front of the camera, but she managed to make it feel natural and fun. Her energy, professionalism, and warm personality made her an absolute joy to have around on such an important day. We’re so grateful for the beautiful memories she captured and would recommend her a thousand times over!
