Testimonials & Reviews

  • Ayla Love is the #1 photographer in Canada

    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!

  • Her photos are absolutely incredible and captured the magic and beauty of our day

    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!💕💕

  • If you have not booked your photographer for a special event yet this girl is it what are you waiting for!

    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 💕

  • Some people take photos; Mikayla creates art.

    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. 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!
