Photographs are among the most cherished treasures we have. They hold our memories close, tell our stories, and keep us connected to the moments and people we never want to forget.

"Mikayla checks every box
and beyond."
I can say that I walked away from our wedding experience with more than a service, but a new friendship. Mikayla makes a huge effort to connect with you in advance of your special occassion. She certainly takes additional time that I believe other photographers would not invest into their clients.

Our day felt so effortless and stress-free! Mikayla captured every moment of our special day and managed our timeline seamlessly. She brought so much joy and energy to our bridal shoot. The whole day, John and I felt so taken care of by her.

Frequently
asked questions
How far in advance should we book with you?
My availability is all first come first serve. So I would reach out as soon as possible to check and see if your date is open and available.
How far do you travel for weddings / sessions?
I’ll go anywhere for you! I love being able to explore new places and cities with my couples. If your wedding or session is within a 2 hour round trip from Metro Detroit, no extra fees will be applied. If the location is beyond that, I can provide you a custom quote for travel and accommodations.
DO YOU SHOOT FILM?
Yes! Film photography is offered amongst all my a la carte offerings and can be added onto any collection if desired.
Are you covered by insurance?
Yes! Mikayla Scheibe, LLC is insured up to $1,000,000 in liability. Make sure to let me know if your venue requires proof of insurance.
Do we get sneak peeks?
For sessions, there’s no guarantee, but most likely yes. I try to send a few for you to enjoy while you wait for your entire gallery.
For weddings, absolutely. You will most likely receive your wedding day preview within 48-72 hours, depending on if I have multiple weddings in a weekend or if I’m traveling. I will keep you in the loop if otherwise.
What is your gallery turn-around time?
Sessions can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks, but I usually deliver closer to the former.
Wedding delivery is based on the time of year with my busy season, and can range from 8-10 weeks.
How much film do you shoot on a wedding day?
That all depends on your preference. If you value film photography, then I'll make it a point to capture more of the day on film for you. If film isn't really your prefrance, then I would focus more on digital and sprinkle in some film here and there.
How many photos will we receive?
For sessions, you will receive a minimum of 50 images. And for weddings, I estimate roughly 80-100 photos per hour. All images will be fully edited and delivered via a web-based gallery in hi-resolution.
