WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

the TEAM
Only the best of the best can consider themselves part of this squad. There are many talented photographers and videographers out there, but what I have found is that personality matters. Of course our crew has professional training, stays up to date on the latest gadgets and industry hoopla…but more importantly, they actually give a shit about serving our couples and their families. Is Mom trying to put together an on the fly group photo with all of her sisters during the dance party? No problem, we can help find missing Aunt Susie to make sure Mom gets that shot and we will capture the best man ripping his pants on our way to find her. We are here to serve.

When Mackey Photo is on the job, you can cross worrying about photography off your list. We got this. This is what we do!

We honestly get excited about the interesting details and characters that make your wedding day unique and are constantly coming up with new ways to show you the fullness and vibrance of this once in a lifetime day. We take this all very seriously…while laughing and busting balls.

You can tell Pete genuinely cares about the people he works with. He got to know us before ever snapping a picture and you can feel that connection through the images he captures. Let him know how adventurous, goofy, or serious you want your pictures to turn out and he’ll nail it every time.
BRITNEY + SEAN

We got our completely edited set of images (about 1,000) less than 2 months after our wedding, spent an awesome evening designing our album over beers, and we’ll have our completed piece in time for the holidays.

the OWNER
As the owner of Mackey Photo, and the leader to my team, our goal as your family historians is to create images and capture moments that will become your most treasured keepsake. Images that will transport you back to the happiest day of your life, and allow you to relive beautiful fleeting frames in time once again. I am honored every time we’re selected to document a couple’s special day and as a genuine thank you we commit to delivering images that will absolutely blow you away.

It’s my passion for life, laughter, and for relationships that pushes me to create and capture powerful images for families. I’m a photographer every day, not only on a wedding day. Photography has given me the ability to share my talents of storytelling, artistic expression, and joy with all that allow me to photograph them. That to me, is a special thing.

I BELIEVE

Family comes first. Always. I believe all people have value and deserve to be seen. Life is meant to be a celebration and the volume should be cranked up to 11. Life is hard and we were thrown into it, but we have each other, and that means we are always going to be alright, no matter what.

MY CREW

Nothing is more important to me than family. My business is a very personal one, and I not only want to learn about you and your families, but I want you to know me and my family. Below I will introduce you to my wife and two kids. I trust that the photographs will give you a good glimpse into who they are and how I aim to capture the essence of a person in each image I create.

BRENDA

Brenda is the most beautiful, supportive, selfless, and hardworking woman I know. There is no one else I could imagine calling my wife. Without Brenda, this photography thing could not be possible. When we meet, and work together, she will be wrangling these two crazy kids.

MADELYN

 She’s 13 years old. She’s tiny. But no single human has impacted my life in such a profound way like Madelyn has. It is hard to find words to do this kid justice. She is the absolute light of our lives. She gave me the best job in the world when she made me her Dad. Madelyn is the sweetest big sister, the most curious learner, an explorer, storyteller, and all around beautifully talented child.

SILAS

Silas is a walking meme. This kid is seriously hilarious, and keeps us laughing on a daily basis. Silas is determined in everything he does. His birth story is pretty crazy and awesome. Ask me about it when we meet. I thought it would be hard for anyone to come close to Madelyn’s cuteness, but like I said, the kid is determined. Silas rounds out our family perfectly, and I couldn’t imagine life without him.

FAMILY HEIRLOOMS

I am a memory junkie. Our family photo albums are some of my most treasured keepsakes. Our memories printed in albums is how we show our children they matter. It’s how we keep the stories of our past adventures alive. We also treasure some of our grandparents keepsakes. Honoring and celebrating those who came before us is important in our family.
