"Maddy is magic. She put us both at complete ease and made a couple who don't love their own photos being taken really appreciate the moment and the art that is the result. It was such a fun morning and we now have this very special time of our lives captured to look back on."

"These aren't your average photos - they recreate the movement and the moment and they really tell the story of us."

"My fiance and I cannot recommend Maddy enough!
On the day of our shoot she made us feel so comfortable and guided us through her ideas in a way that made it feel as though we were all just hanging out - it never felt like my fiance and I were there and someone was just awkwardly watching. The photos turned out so, so beautifully - better than we ever could have imagined. Maddy really captured the spirit of our relationship and the joy of doing the things you love, no matter how little, with the person you love. Everyone I’ve shown the pictures to has described them as museum worthy, and we completely agree. The fact that Maddy provides such a warm, welcoming, fun experience while shooting and produces such beautiful photos makes her an extremely talented photographer. We would happily work with her again and again and again."

"Maddy is the absolute best and such a pleasure to work with- sweet, easygoing, professional, and just a really cool person.
Even though we’re generally awkward in front of the camera, Maddy was a great conversationalist and made everything feel easy and comfortable. We finished the session already feeling super happy about it, and then when we got the photos back we (and our friends and family) were blown away. She produced such an amazing variety of shots- candid, traditional, editorial style, fun visual effects, everything you could ask for. She took full advantage of the scenery and lighting and has the most brilliant creative vision. If you need a photographer, we can’t recommend her enough!"

"Maddy is magic.
I'm a photographer myself and don't often find myself on the other side of the camera but I wanted some special photos of my fiance and I during our time of engagement. She put us both at complete ease and made a couple who don't love their own photos being taken really appreciate the moment and the art that is the result. These aren't your average photos - they recreate the movement and the moment and they really tell the story of us. It was such a fun morning and we now have this very special time of our lives captured to look back on. Thank you so much Maddy! We love and cherish these photos so much and we absolutely loved working with you!"

"We could not have asked for a better wedding and engagement photographer!
Maddy was kind, patient, informative, and so much more. Most of all, she is so talented! Maddy truly captured us, our love, and our day as a whole so beautifully with a wide variety of shots. She made the process feel less overwhelming, and supported us every step of the way as we got closer to the big day. What else can I say, she is simply amazing and the best! We are so grateful. "

"Maddy was absolutely incredible to work with. My fiancé and I were both a little nervous having never done a photoshoot before but Maddy made it so easy and so fun. We were laughing and smiling the whole time! We left the shoot so giddy and happy, I truly cannot say enough about my experience! Then the photos came back, and then I was truly speechless! I look at every one of our photos and remember the emotion from the moment behind it. She captured such genuine love and smiles, I am obsessed with every single photo! I made a comment during the shoot that I wish I got my nails done because I had nail art that I didn’t want in photos, Maddy went above and beyond and edited out the “heart” that was on EVERY NAIL, I was beyond grateful for her attention to detail. Thank you Maddy for the best day ever and giving us photos for a life time!"

Why me?
Hey, I'm Maddy! And if there's one thing I can tell you about me, it's that I keep it real --- real with my emotions (I’m a Cancer to my core) --- real with my opinions (youngest child syndrome perhaps?) and real with my photos.
I’m not another robot vendor having the same conversations with every couple, and taking the same emotionless photos at every wedding --- because I see absolutely no fun in that for you or for me! I want to get to know you, your story, your banter, your people, and what lights you up --- so I can capture the real you, the real story of your one-of-a-kind wedding day, your real belly laughs and tears, your favorite people really breaking it down on the dance floor, and the real feelings behind it all.
You're not just a job or a price tag to me. You're humans with a unique story that I'm beyond honored to tell, and I can’t wait to hear all about it.

Stiff poses and forced smiles bore me, but the human experience inspires me.
Anyone can take a pretty photo of a beautiful thing. But my goal when snapping a photo isn't to capture "beautiful" --- it's to capture "raw, real, and vulnerable" because a passing glance to your soon-to-be-spouse right before you say "I do" or the look on your grandmother's face as you walk down the aisle is the most beautiful thing to me.
