Featured Wedding & Engagement photography Reviews

“Mikayla was super easy to work with and captured our wedding beautifully! I’m so glad I hired her as she’s local to the Banff area and knew all the perfect spots to take us to avoid crowds. She captured the stunning moody vibe I wanted for my October wedding.”

“Mikayla did an awesome job on our engagement photos! I think turn around time was reasonable compared to other photographers I have worked with! We had asked her to get specific shots and she delivered. She was professional and wonderful to work with. Hoping to have Mikayla capture more memories for us in the near future <3”

“My husband and I recently had Mikayla shoot our elopement, we booked her based on her style shown on her social media as we were travelling to lake Louise from out of province. From the moment she arrived on our wedding day she brought great energy and made us feel very comfortable when we would typically describe ourselves as a camera shy couple. She perfectly captured our day with great local knowledge of the area helping us to choose locations. She also was fantastic with helping direct guests for group shots and captured everything on our wish list. We received our sneak peak photos the very next morning and the remainder of our gallery on time. We have already discussed returning on our anniversary and booking Mikayla for another session. We cannot thank her enough for being apart of our big day and capturing such meaningful memories.”

Banff Photography Reviews

Reviews from couples who chose to elope in Banff with me as their photographer. If you’re looking for Banff wedding photographers who know the best spots and how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, you’re in the right place.


Mikayla is amazing! From the initial meeting to engagement photos to our wedding day, she was with us our entire journey and always offered support along the way. Her photos are absolutely incredible and captured the magic and beauty of our day. I love that she captures raw, candid moments instead of posing everything. We could not be happier. Thank you so much!💕💕

I was just downloading all my wedding photos thinking man Mikayla sure is amazing at what she does and realized I have not yet wrote a review and if anyone deserves a 5 star review it’s this girl. She managed to capture every picture in a way that I can recall the exact emotion I felt at that moment and it’s something I will never forget. Her presence is upbeat and wonderful and she feels like a friend you have known your whole life. If you have not booked your photographer for a special event yet this girl is it what are you waiting for! Thank you for documenting our love story 💕

Using Ayla Love Photography for our small wedding in Banff was one of the best decisions my (now) husband and I made for our wedding. Being from Texas and never having even stepped foot in Canada much less Banff, we were clueless moving forward. We knew one thing: we wanted spectacular photos. In comes Mikayla. She is probably one of the most charming people you‘ll ever meet and instantly made us feel comfortable. Leading up to the event, she was flexible and offered suggestions based on her extensive knowledge of the area. Although we were only with her for a short time in person, she was so lovely to work with. Our families absolutely loved her. The photos she took of our day are stunning. Some people take photos; Mikayla creates art. My husband was a little camera shy and she led him each step of the way and now we have beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. Book her and you absolutely will not regret it!

Mikayla!!! I just wanted to say thank you so much again for everything on Saturday! You were the most incredible photographer and so professional and so wonderful to be around! You and your second shooter were so amazing and everyone wouldn’t stop talking about how great you guys were! You went WAY over and beyond what we expected for our wedding photographer and we can’t thank you enough! We can’t wait to see all the beautiful pictures you took!

Ayla Love is the #1 photographer in Canada. I can’t say enough kind things about this girl. She made us feel so comfortable, she laughed with us and even let me borrow her cute hat after mine flew into the water. Her photography skills are above and beyond what we ever imagined. I’d hire her for ANY event over and over. She captured the most dreamy and magical photos!

CALGARY Photography Reviews

A few kind words from couples & families I've photographed in Calgary, Cochrane, Airdrie, Okotoks, and Drumheller. If you're browsing for wedding photographer recommendations or looking for a Calgary wedding photographer who truly gets it, these reviews will give you a feel for what it's like to work with me.


Mikayla is not only a very sweet and kind person, but also an incredibly talented photographer. She has documented quite a few milestones in our lives so far, and I cannot thank her enough for the memories she has captured so far. From getting our first puppy, to maternity photos when I was pregnant with our first baby, to newborn photos when our little girl was born, I will cherish them forever. You can tell that Mikayla is very passionate about what she does and is amazing at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. You will LOVE her!!

I highly recommend Mikayla as a wedding photographer! I knew that photography would be the most important thing for my wedding day and something I wanted to invest in. With that in mind my husband suggested investing in a photographer who was different than the standard light, bright wedding photography. Mikayla's style fits that bill! Shooting both our engagement photos and our wedding photos was a really comfortable, easy experience. I have looked at our wedding pictures every day since we got them back. The quality is amazing and I can't wait to blow some up and make an album!

We had the best time with Mikayla with our family photo session. She was very professional and patient with us all, especially when we had an infant and dog with us. Despite a little rain during our session, our photos were amazing!!! She came prepared with umbrellas, and we were so thankful! Mikayla is incredibly talented with her craft. We would highly recommend her to family, friends, or anyone who wants to have a beautiful and fun photoshoot!!! Thank you, Mikayla! You are amazing!

Mikayla is a wonderful photographer. My fiance and I really admire her style of photography and editing. Not to mention her amazing personality, she has made it so easy for us to shoot our engagement photographs with her. She created a very easy going and comfortable environment for us in which we were able to have fun, and as a result, we came up with exceptional photographs. I would absolutely recommend Mikayla to any couple looking to have a great photographer, have fun with your photoshoots and looking to save a lot of money. Her prices are incomparable, and extremely competitive. Without a doubt, her pricing does not reflect the quality of work she produces.

Mikayla was such a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be more happy to have entrusted her as our elopement photographer! The images are nothing short of incredible and she was so supportive and kind before, throughout and after our special day. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
