capturing Wedding & Lifestyle Photography
across Northwest Iowa and beyond
Hi there new friends,
MY HOT TAKE: weddings & lifestyle just hit different
I’ve spent the last few years telling stories of the raddest couples, seniors, & families in northwest Iowa and beyond.
At Brynn Makenna Photography, I serve as the hands and feet of Jesus, capturing stories with creativity and heart across northwest Iowa and beyond. Specializing in weddings, engagements, seniors, and lifestyle sessions, my passion is to preserve the moments that reflect the beauty of the story God has given you. With a storytelling approach rooted in faith, I strive to create timeless images that honor your journey and the One who designed it.
Colossians 3:17
I'm here to capture you in your rawest form
Because you're worth it
Hi, I’m Brynn! I’m a northwest Iowa photographer and follower of Christ. My heart is to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus while creating timeless, joy-filled images that feel natural and true to you. My goal is to make every session relaxed, meaningful, and fun—so you not only love your photos, but the experience too.
Everyone has their story
& I wanna tell yours
Capturing your day
& all the moments you share
Working with me is all about feeling relaxed, confident, and celebrated in front of the camera. I strive to create a peaceful environment where you can truly be yourself, while also keeping the energy lighthearted and fun. Whether it’s the laughter of your wedding day, the excitement of senior year, or the quiet beauty of everyday moments, I’ll be there to capture it with a storytelling eye and timeless style. My goal is for you to walk away not only with beautiful photos, but also with memories of an experience that made you feel loved, seen, and confident—just as God created you to be.
Weddings & Lifestyle
all for jesus

"Brynn does an amazing job, she has a gift of making others comfortable and making what can be an intimidating experience a lot of fun! She was easy going & really creative! She gave us direction (I felt as though I didn’t have to think at all) which was so nice especially during a stressful day like a wedding!! On our wedding day there was lots of things that didn’t go to plan and she was someone that kept me calm! She has a true talent for not only photography but for people!!"
