There is no need to perform or pose. Savor every moment you have together while I capture the authentic, raw expressions of your love. While shooting, let your true emotions shine. I am here to simply blend in and preserve the genuine beauty of your love.
I see my role two different ways on wedding day. In the first role, I see it as my job to quietly observe, feel, & place myself in yours & your guests shoes. I seamlessly blend myself into your family & friends & our desires & wants for the day are the same. My second role of the day is to capture the in-between, unseen moments that not everyone will be noticing. I want to capture how the day felt, looked like, & who you are as people. I go into a wedding day knowing that these photos or video that I am capturing will go down in history for generations to look at & remember. I have a creative eye that will capture it uniquely, no two weddings are the same. I am extremely appreciative and grateful that this is my job & that you trust me with your precious love.
Fill out the form on my contact page & I will respond to you within 48 hours! I will ask any questions that I might need to know before sending you a custom proposal. We will chat about the custom proposal & go over any & all questions.
Once you are ready to move forward, I will send you over my contract, and a 30% retainer will be paid. This confirms that your date is secure. I will then send you a questionnaire that goes in depth so that I can get to know you a little better in preparation for our shoot!
My turn around time for photo couples & family sessions are 3-4 weeks, & weddings are 6-8 weeks for photo & 10-12 for Super 8.
My style & approach for weddings combine all of my favorite ways to capture: documentary, storytelling, journalistic, & archival. I come into wedding days with a great knowledge of you two as a couple, how you want the day to go & feel, & every detail of your timeline so I am extremely prepared. Knowing this ahead of time allows for stillness, observing, & candidly capturing the day. We have two client calls & more if you need them. Tell me everything & we will collaborate the entire time to make sure we are on the same page. Your investment in me means the world & I am here to serve you the best way I can.
For couples who are over-the-moon in love & want to capture the special stage they are in. Take me into your home, your favorite spot in the mountains, or along your favorite beach. I come into these sessions with so much excitement & treat them like I am a third wheel on your date. Your boyfriend, fiance, or husband will not complain - I bet he will even leave saying how much fun it was! These sessions are light, fun, & exciting. I cannot wait to chat about your vision.
Our families are the most precious thing we have in this life. I do not take your privacy, love & kiddos lightly. I want to learn all about you guys & what you love. I have a very in-depth questionnaire that teaches tells me all about you & what your hopes are for our session! It is such a honor to capture your family & give you these photos that will last forever.
These add-ons can be added onto any package! I can't wait to see what you decide on! I also have options for second shooters, camcorders, & more! Fill out my inquiry to get a full pricing guide.
Madi was such a dream to work with! She was so accommodating and curated a wedding package for me based on what I wanted. She captured our wedding day with such love and tender care. 10/10 I’d throw another wedding just to work with her again. Thank you so much for being our photographer <3
My husband and I had Madi take our engagement photos AND our wedding photos and we are so so grateful for her!! We really wanted a mix of candid and posed photos for both shoots and she delivered more than we could have hoped for! She is so fun to work with and I already want to go through another major life event so that we can hire her to document it again."
Madi is quite literally the best. She helped me feel like I lived in a movie. She captured the love me and my husband had for each other so naturally (especially when my husband was sick for our engagements and really didn’t want to be there lol). But she captured the vision so well despite being pregnant at the same time!! She’s literally incredible.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Madi!!! She captured our engagement shoot beautifully, making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos from this shoot were even better than I could have imagined and will forever have a spot on the walls of our home. she was incredibly responsive and attentive, which made everything feel seamless and stress free which is SO important in the wedding planning process. We truly couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for all of life’s moments! We cannot wait for the next time Madi can capture memories for our family.
Where do I even begin with Madi…
I found Madi through social media and was instantly in love with her work. I knew I wanted to elope and have a ceremony at home with friends and family and she was able to capture both! She was very organized on how we wanted to capture both days. With multiple phone calls going over every detail because she wanted our day to be exactly what we envisioned it to be. When you elope you really are solo with planning and running the show on your day…but with Madi she helped me with so much more than just taking pictures. She helped me get into my dress, helped with jewelry, and instructing my husband where to go so he didn’t see me in my dress (we stayed in a small cabin). She even brought her incredible family with, where her own Husband officiated for us and her sister was our witness.
Yes! I have my calendar & bucket list locations on my inquiry page of this website. I absolutely love to travel & will usually bring my husband along with me. Seeing the world truly brings me so much perspective on this life & being in different cities, countries, & states brings a freshness & new excitement into my work. God created a beautiful world & I want to see it! All my travel fees will be included in the custom proposal I send to you.
How I approach posing / capturing sometimes changes depending on the comfortability of the couple or family! If you like the more posed look, I love to lean into that & see your inspo! I rarely grab you & tell you exactly what to do. My poses are more like prompts telling you how to move! I pride myself in my ability to "read the room" & I have a good sense of when I need to step in & when to be a fly on the wall & let the moment unfold.
I am always shooting on two SD cards that are copying your photos two times just in case! The second I get home, I export them onto my large hard drive AND my small hard drive. Once your photos or video is finished, I export them to your gallery & it is kept there for 2 years. I will keep a backup on my large hard drive for 3 years.
I have created custom proposal for all my potential clients! Once you inquire, they will be sent to your email within 48 hours. They are simple, straight to the point, & easy to go over in our call to iron out any questions, wants, or needs you have!
