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!

I believe in serving all of my sweet clients with excellence, integrity, & authenticity. That is the core of this business. When I arrive on your wedding day, not only will it feel like your friend is arriving to capture your day, I also bring with me the "Best Day Ever" energy!

fun facts

Get to know me a little more:

My favorite snack is canned pears, mayo, and cheese! Trust me... it's delicious!

When i'm editing you can bet i will be jamming out to Abba's "Dancing Queen" and "Mamma Mia."

My favorite phrase is "Best Day Ever" so you can be sure I'll be using that about your wedding day! After all, it really is YOUR best day EVER!!

I am a lover of vintage fashion! 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.
Boating on Lake Guntersville.
Exploring cute antique shops.

Chilling on the couch with my fur babies & watching The Office for the 50th time

"...if you want someone who is sweet, caring, encouraging, and down to earth she is your girl!"

Miranda shot our wedding on 2-1-2025, we had the best experience possible, two months before she had the schedule created so we had a solid itinerary to help the day go as smoothly as possible. She was so sweet, so kind, popping in with sweet reminders leading up to the wedding! Her work is beautiful, she is so talented and captures so many sweet moments. The quality is impeccable for her pricing, if you want someone who is sweet, caring, encouraging, and down to earth she is YOUR GIRL! It’s so easy to be comfortable with her, we will be using her services as much as we can in the future. ❤️

"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! 💕
