DOCUMENTING YOUR DAY //

Your wedding should be one of the most special, fun, and memorable days of your life. My greatest passion in life is documenting your most cherished moments in a way that allows you to relive every moment, every memory, and every wonderful feeling you felt that day each time you look back on your photos. From the big moments, to the tender in-between moments, I am committed to capturing your day, your way, and having a lot of fun doing it.  

My photography style beautifully merges the striking elegance of editorial portraiture with the authentic, unfiltered essence of documentary photography. This combination fosters a unique blend of creativity and authenticity.

"It is so important to find someone who you not only trust to take gorgeous photos, but someone you trust to look out for you and your happiness, hype you up, bring humor and calm to what can sometimes be a stressful day, and most importantly someone who is genuinely happy and excited for you to be marrying the love of your life."

"My husband and I are blown away with Madi’s photography. We had the honor and privilege of having Madi photograph our wedding and the photos that she captured were beyond timeless, dreamy, and ethereal. She truly captured the vision I had in my head and brought that vision into reality. We cherish these photos so much and we are so grateful to have these as memories of the best day of our lives. She is truly the best of the best! Her attention to detail is unparalleled and she has the incredible skill of capturing the most beautiful, raw, authentic moments!! We love you, Madi! 🤍"
