Mackenzie Belen, Photographer
my story

14 years behind the lens,a lifetime of love in every frame

Hi! I'm Mackenzie. Don't worry if you've called me Belen, it's my last name, and one I carry with all my love because it's the name I share with my best friend and our daughter.

I'm a passionate photographer based in San Diego County, born and raised in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. With over 14 years of experience behind the lens, I specialize in capturing the beautiful moments of couples and their weddings.

After becoming a mother in 2025, I also fell in love with maternity and at-home newborn sessions. Experiencing the love for my own child, I've fully dove into sharing and bonding with current and soon-to-be mothers.

Beyond photography, you'll often find me immersed in the world of books, on long runs, or sometimes playing video games or golfing with my husband. Each click of the camera and every turn of a page adds a unique chapter to my journey.

True-to-color, with a bit of warmth

I capture your day as it comes and goes. The good, the not so good, the pretty and the messy. The crazy hair in the wind, the muddied dress and shoes, the tear-streaked makeup from happy tears (don't worry, I'll clean you up a bit while editing). Because those are the small details that remind you how the day went.

I hope we both walk away from our shoot feeling like we savored the now, not worried about yesterday or tomorrow. And once I send you the final gallery, I hope you love your images and feel all the emotions you felt that day every time you look at them. I also hope we stay connected and even become friends.

I can't wait to hear from you. xo, Kenzie
