The way people look at the ones they love. The moments right after walking down the aisle and being swarmed with huge hugs. Tissues kept handy and picture frames of absent loved ones to be remembered. Dogs in tuxes! These are just some of the things I love about weddings.
Most people call me Maddie and I live for candid, rad as heck photos of cuties in love! My focus is on intimate weddings and elopements for the unconventional couple. While I am San Diego based, I'm also available to travel to whatever destination your love takes ya! Whether it's in your backyard or Narnia, I can't wait to make magic with you.
I love getting to hype my clients up and have fun with them. Having your photo taken isn't always easy and I live to bring out everyone's Beyonce. Lines and light and unconventional wedding photos are my jam, but photos with a big, genuine laugh are my fave.
There just aren't enough words to describe how amazing it is to work with Maddie. She makes me feel comfortable, she makes me laugh and smile (genuinely!), and truly makes me feel beautiful. I believe when you feel good on the inside, it radiates on the outside too. Maddie is able to foster that inner glow during her shoots AND eternalize it in her photos. I always feel relaxed with Maddie because I know that, with her, everything will be captured and everything will be taken care of. When my husband and I eloped, Maddie was our photographer, our witness, and our friend, there with us the whole day. She took such good care to make sure we were able to focus on us, and our day - nothing else. It wasn't a whirlwind, it wasn't at all stressful, it was truly magical. Time felt slower. I was present, taking it all in, and able to fully experience every moment with my husband. Because of this, I’m still able to remember it all so so well, and I have my amazing photos from Maddie who documented it all! Thank you, Maddie for always being you, for being so attentive and caring, and for sharing your magic with the world.
Maddie was truly the most incredible person to work with! My husband and I are both pretty awkward, and terrible at having our photo taken, but she made us feel comfortable and made the entire experience fun! She had such creative ideas and got the most incredible shots. Our location wasn't the most scenic, but if you look at our photos, it looks like we were in the most beautiful spot ever! Not to mention, every person at the wedding loved her, she was so friendly and awesome to talk to, which again, made us so much for comfortable! I already have 3 friends from the wedding who are trying to work with her!
