hello hello sweet friend!

I'm Miranda! 

I am a Huntsville, Alabama wedding photographer who loves Jesus, vintage things, & capturing your “BEST DAY EVER!”

one thing is for sure:

I was created by the Creator to create!

Where it all began! Little Miranda shooting her first wedding

I have had a camera in hand since I was 11, shot my first wedding at 15, & started this beautiful business at 19.

This truly is the job of my dreams!

Wedding photography is my passion and I thank the Lord everyday that I have the opportunity to serve amazing people like YOU through the lens of my camera!

Jesus is my life foundation and in everything that I do, I want to glorify Him!! That's why I believe in serving you with excellence, integrity, & authenticity. That is the core of this business.

I value building relationships with my people and truly learning what makes you, you! The wedding photography experience is personal. You deserve a wedding photographer who understands you and can serve you best! That's why I love what I do with my whole heart!

fun facts

Get to know me a little more:

bojangles bo berry biscuit is my favorite food! You can bet I'll be stopping there for a post wedding treat!

People have said my entire life that I have the voice of minnie mouse & should work at disney!!

I was born and raised in the sunshine state of FL!! I'm a florida girl at heart!

Audrey Hepburn is my fashion inspiration.

I'm a fur mom to 3 pets! 2 dogs + 1 cat: Zona, Cupid, and my tuxedo cat, Nacho. And yes, the cat runs the household lol. 

I had open heart surgery when I was 8 years old and since then I have cherished each day! It taught me to never take a moment for granted. That's why I am so focused on YOU living in the moment of YOUR Best Day Ever! 

When I'm not shooting a wedding or sitting behind a computer editing you can find me:

  • On a hiking trail with my family.
  • Running
  • Exploring cute antique shops.
  • Biking 50 miles
  • Serving at my church
  • Thrifting :)

"I will recommend Miranda Gates to every future bride again and again!!"

I don’t have enough words to accurately describe how wonderful Miranda is—as a person, as a photographer, and as my biggest cheerleader. From the moment we booked until wedding day, she has been the greatest blessing to me as a bride!

Miranda was always available to answer any questions I had leading up to the wedding, and worked with my fiancé and me to make sure every detail and emotion was captured perfectly on our wedding day. Our day was so filled with joy and fun thanks to her enthusiasm! Miranda made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured moments that felt completely natural and true to us.

Receiving our wedding gallery felt like Christmas morning!! Miranda has such a gift for bringing cherished memories to life through her photos, and we have looked at each one over and over again. I’m so excited to print every last picture and share the moments of this day with all of our loved ones.

I will recommend Miranda Gates to every future bride again and again!!

"Miranda cares about your wedding day just as much as you do!"

I highly recommended Miranda Gates Photography. Not only is she clearly wonderful at photography, she is extremely kind and fun to work with! Miranda was organized and helpful from literally day 1. She is skilled at making you feel so comfortable behind the camera which enables her to capture the best version of you for your photos. I cannot stop staring at our wedding photos, as she captured them perfectly. So thankful we had Miranda on our wedding day to help run the show with her organized timelines and advice! She even helped me get my jewelry on when I was struggling. Miranda cares about your wedding day just as much as you do!  Shes an absolute sweetheart and joy to work with! We love her! 💕
