A down-to-earth wedding experience that prioritizes people > portfolio

Because you deserve to feel SO giddy & grounded in the joy of your day that you forget the camera is even there!

Let’s get one thing straight right outta the gate: you should NEVER feel like your photographer cares more about their own portfolio than they do about you. You and your needs deserve to be prioritized, and to receive photos that feel true to your relationship; that feel meaningful, genuine, and all about you.

As a girlie who recently got engaged to the LOML and is now stepping into the role of bride (eek!), I will be the first to tell you that I DEEPLY understand the importance of finding a photographer who actually, well, gives a heck about you. A photographer who is intentional about understanding your unique story, empathizing with your fears, and delivering an experience that makes you feel seen, heard, and valued every freaking step of the way.

That’s why all of my wedding packages include:

Clear, consistent communication and collaboration to make sure your voice is alwaysheard

Custom timeline creation so your wedding day is smooth + stress-free as can be

In-depth questionnaires so I can get to know you, your person, and your love story—and make sure every photo feels right for your unique relationship

Gentle portrait guidance and fun prompts that encourage natural, carefree movement

Curated gallery of ALL the best images so you can pick the ones you’re most obsessed with

Freedom to use your photos however you want—print & post away!

  • “I cannot recommend Maddie enough! Not only is she incredibly talented behind the camera, but her bubbly personality makes every shoot feel fun, relaxed, and so comfortable.”

    “She’s done everything from creative, editorial-style photos for my Instagram to capturing my wedding day! She absolutely exceeded every expectation!! For my wedding, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She was so organized and truly just got the vision, capturing every moment perfectly without needing direction. She consistently goes above and beyond and delivers the most beautiful photos every time. On top of all that, she’s just an all-around amazing human. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both insanely talented and a joy to be around, she’s your girl! 🥹🙌🏼”

    - Courtney & Vinne

  • “Maddie is an undeniably talented and incredibly gifted photographer!” 

    “We had the pleasure of working with her for our wedding and I have nothing but wonderful things to say. Not only was she there at every second to capture our special moments but, the pictures leave myself and everyone who looks at the speechless because of how breathtaking they are. Also need to include how this day was most definitely the opposite of a “chill” or “easy” one; from the hotel we got ready at (two separate ones), to family pictures, to boat pictures and then all the way through the event Maddie did not bat an eye and was there at EVERY moment. We cannot thank her enough and are so grateful for her time. Maddie will be our number one gal for all our picture needs!”

  • Yesss of course! I’ll guide you through your wedding day portraits with fun prompts and directions to help you relax, laugh, and feel totally at ease—but during the rest of the day, I’ll leave you alone to allow moments to unfold naturally. I will never force you to leave the dance floor for sunset photos if you’d rather be getting down to Low by Flo Rida with your besties 🔥

  • If you book for only photo or only video, I shoot most of my weddings solo! For weddings with both photo and video, I may bring an associate if needed, at no extra cost to you.

  • You’ll receive your final gallery of edited photos and/or videos within 6-8 weeks of your wedding. Think of delivery day as something you can look forward to after the initial excitement of the wedding wears off!

  • You’ll receive a link to your very own online gallery full of the best content from your session! From there, you can download all of your images and share them with ALL your friends & fam to show the world how dang cute you are.

  • The licensing cost for popular songs is crazyyyyy, so I will pick your song from a selection of licensed music. But don’t worry—I make sure to get to know the two of you VERY well before your big day so that I can pick a song that perfectly matches your vibe!

  • OF COURSE!! I am based in Destin, Florida, but am always down for an adventure! My wedding fees cover travel within 200 miles of Destin, and any travel fees outside of that will simply be added to your invoice. I’ve already packed my bags & grabbed all my gear, so I’m ready when you are!

  • Nope! You’ll get all the best photos included in your online gallery. They’re yours to download, share, and enjoy forever—no extra cost.

While you can absolutely take your images wherever you like (you have full printing rights!), the quality difference is huge when you print through these labs—trust me. If you want my help, I’m always happy to make sure your prints look perfect.
