The Best!!

Madelynn and Amari are an absolute joy to work with. Not only is their work absolutely stunning, but they are also just such fun, friendly, and professional people. Their love for each other and the warmth and love they extend to others makes all the difference. We’re pretty camera shy, but Madelynn and Amari made us feel so comfortable and just blended into our wedding party as if they were our guests. They were also flexible around timing, hours, and budgeting, which was a huge help for us. The end result was also incredible. They captured both posed and candid moments from our wedding weekend — as well as the beautiful scenery around us — with class, warmth, and beauty. Just absolutely gorgeous and not at all cliche like many other wedding photographers. Thank you again, Mad and Amari, for doing such an incredible job and really feeling like a partner throughout the process together!

The best wedding photographers around

Madelynn and Amari were the best photographers we could ask for. We loved their documentary style of photography and exquisite use of lighting. We were very happy with our engagement shoot, wedding photos, and our album. They were great to work with throughout (even when our album got lost in the mail, Madelynn quickly helped us order a new one free of charge). I would recommend them to anyone looking for a documentary / photojournalistic style for their wedding photos with dramatic lighting, and who want a fun couple to be included in their wedding celebrations.

The best!

We were referred to Foot Candles by another photographer who was unavailable on our date. We immediately appreciated the fact that they were referred to us with the highest praise. Meeting Madelynn and Omari in person was like reuniting with old friends - they are very easygoing and super approachable. It was an absolute pleasure having them document our special day. They went above and beyond for us throughout the day and channeled a sense of calm throughout our busy day. Our photos were exactly what we were looking for - visual storytelling at its finest - and we couldn't be happier with the results. Book them NOW.

Best photographers ever, hands down!

We absolutely LOVE Madelyn & Amari. From the very first phone call to our 1st meeting we immediately felt like they were our friends. I knew from the beginning that they knew exactly what they were doing. The finished product for our engagement & wedding was absolutely PERFECT. Every moment was captured beautifully. Their careful attention to detail, their calming nature made everything feel so easy, I can't wait to hire them again!

Great Photographers & Great People

When we first met Amari & Madelynn, we thought it would just be a quick meeting about their portfolio and their package pricing. We did some research and we definitely love their work. We ended up talking for almost 2 hours, only to stop the meeting due to other plans. We probably could have talk for hours about anything from the wedding, to photography, and just about life. That's just how Amari and Madelynn are. They are great photographers but they are also awesome individuals with full of personality. Their work speaks for itself but in talking to them, it took them awhile to get there... not due to experience but due to inspiration and expressing themselves through their work. They really think about their shots. What sets them apart from the other photographers is their willingness to be open and become part of our lives. It doesn't feel like a business transaction. We love our photos and we love working with them. They have become friends, most importantly.

Personal Touch

Working with Madelynn and Amari was such a pleasure! They were personal, experienced, and super flexible. I especially loved that they took time to have a meal to get to know us and treated us like family. They were also very professional: when we wanted some inspiration, they had so much experience to contribute, and when our families had strong preferences, they were able to roll with the sudden changes. In the end, our pictures were wonderful: classy with just the right hint of subtle romance, highlighting all the special people who came to celebrate with us. Above all, both Madelynn and Amari are so fun to work with! They continued to be upbeat throughout the day, from makeup to tea ceremony to wedding ceremony to reception, what a comfort it was to have them by my side on my wedding day.

Hire these photographers

The photos taken at your wedding will inform how you and your loved ones remember the day for your whole life, and we're so happy with the photos taken by this photography power duo. Beyond the photos themselves – which are beautiful, cinematic, playful, and curated to our personalities – Foot Candles is a pleasure to work with (and just hang out with)! They immediately feel like old friends and make you feel at ease. That's not to say they aren't professional - they showed up to our wedding with several cameras, walkie-talkies, and even hydration pills! They make sure to never miss a moment and are simultaneously respectful of your time, knowing when is appropriate to pull you away from the crowds to take some intimate photos, and when to blend into the background and capture the mood of the party. Reach out to them and get a quote, you won't regret it.

Foot Candles Photography went above and beyond our expectations for wedding photography. We seriously could not have asked for better photographers for our wedding. Madelynn and Amari became like family to us, and during the busy day I felt so grateful to have them. They are incredibly responsive, caring, funny and professional. We felt so comfortable with them that we were able to truly be ourselves in the photos. The quality of their photography is exquisite; Amari has a true gift for using natural lights and capturing details. We've recommended them to friends and everyone we know (4 couples) who has used them absolutely LOVED them. They obviously love what they do and put their hearts into every piece of it. Hiring Madelynn and Amari to shoot our wedding was the BEST choice we made in planning our wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
