Hi, I’m Makenna Katz!
I photograph love, connection, and the moments that often go unnoticed. Based in New Jersey and New York City, I specialize in pre-wedding events, elopements, micro weddings, corporate events, and product photography—whatever the occasion, I’m here to capture it in its most honest form.
I believe the beauty of photography lies in the small, fleeting moments: a shared laugh, a nervous glance, the tiny gestures that tell a bigger story. Those are the moments I live for— the ones that feel effortless in the moment but become timeless when captured.
When we work together, my goal is simple: to create space for you to be fully present. I take a director’s eye to sessions, gently guiding when needed, and a photojournalist’s approach to events, quietly documenting life as it unfolds. The energy, emotion, and authenticity of your story always come first.
Every wedding, elopement, or event is a new story to tell, and I want the photographs to feel as alive as the memory itself. Whether we’re celebrating love, capturing a brand, or highlighting a product, my approach is relaxed, intentional, and always rooted in connection.
At the end of the day, I don’t just take pictures, I tell stories. And I’d be honored to tell yours!
