Wedding Photos made easy

I had such a great experience with Maddness Photography! They were warm, patient, and made the whole session fun and relaxed. The photos turned out amazing—better than I imagined. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about their work and their clients, this is the place!

100/10. Maddy Is Pure Magic Behind the Camera

When we first started looking for a wedding photographer, we had all the usual hesitations. Would we feel awkward? Would the photos truly capture the emotions of the day? Would the photographer understand our vision and our style? But the second we met Maddy, every single hesitation disappeared.

Maddy didn’t just ease our worries, she erased them completely. Her communication, her warmth, and the way she instantly made us feel understood gave us so much confidence going into the wedding. By the time she arrived on our big day, it felt like a friend was walking in.

What we loved most about having Maddy as our photographer was her presence. She is truly one of the funniest, most genuine, most uplifting people to be around. She kept us laughing nonstop, she made every pose feel natural, and she somehow balanced being incredibly professional with being the most comforting, hype-girl energy we didn’t know we needed. By the end of the day, it truly felt like Maddy was part of our family, and our families felt the same way. Everyone adored her.

And the photos… I don’t even know if words can do them justice. They are absolutely breathtaking. Magical. Emotional. Perfectly edited. Beautifully framed. Every photo captures the exact feeling of the moment, from the big smiles to the soft, quiet in-between moments we didn’t even realize she caught. We have looked through our gallery over and over again, and every time we do, we are blown away all over again. Maddy gave us art that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

To anyone considering hiring Maddy: don’t even think twice. She is outrageously talented, incredibly kind, creative beyond words, and she will make you feel so comfortable that you forget the camera is even there. She brings out the best in you and captures it beautifully.

Maddy, thank you for being such a bright and unforgettable part of our wedding day. Thank you for your energy, your friendship, your humor, your heart, and for giving us photos that truly feel like us. We are so grateful for you and will never stop telling people how extraordinary you are. 💛

Best quality photographer around :)

I cannot recommend Maddness Photography enough! Maddy has been my go to photographer for the past 5 years, capturing every milestone of my life from professional headshots to maternity photos to my wedding day. Every single session has been nothing short of amazing.

What I love most is how Maddy brings my vision to life every time. As a curvy woman, posing for photos can feel intimidating, but she makes me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She knows exactly how to guide me into poses that flatter me while still feeling natural. She’s encouraging, uplifting, and has such an incredible energy that makes every shoot fun and stress free.

Her ability to capture genuine emotion and the beauty of real life is unmatched. These photos aren’t just pictures; they’re memories that now cover the walls of my home. Having them in print instead of hidden away on my phone means so much, and I love being able to relive those moments every day.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, lifestyle photographer, or someone to capture life’s milestones beautifully, Maddy is the one. She’s talented, professional, and truly cares about her clients. I can’t wait to work with her again and continue documenting life’s big (and small) moments through her lens!

She’s the photographer you want!

Her communication, customer relation and just overall care for our big day was off the charts. She’s exquisite and we would recommend her to anyone looking to make their magical day even better. She captured each moment perfectly. She truly connects to the heart of her clients and we are thankful to have found her.

The best day with the best photographer!

When we started looking for photographers for our wedding last June, I was (unpleasantly) surprised at how expensive they all were- it seemed a little crazy combined with all of the other mounting expenses! After a close friend recommended Maddy, we decided that we had to bite the bullet and hoped that the photos would be worth it in the end.
Lo and behold, Maddy did a fantastic job with the photos and we were super pleased with the product in the end. But it was not just the photos that Maddy provided- I was genuinely so blown away by how Maddy ended up playing such a pivotal part of our actual wedding day! Her enthusiasm, kindness, and loving nature were so evident from start until finish. Taking pictures in between our wedding mass and the reception was not just a task that had to be done, rather it was such beautiful and FUN part of the day (so much so that we were not even bothered by the Florida heat). Kyle and I are so grateful for the photos that we have of our special day and even more grateful to Maddy for helping make the day itself so amazingly special for both of us!

If you want the best, you have to pick Maddness Photography!

Maddy is an amazingly talented photographer and so much fun to work with! Her eye for detail is top-notch. As soon as I saw her portfolio and spoke with her, I knew we wanted to book her right away. I love doing things that are different, and Maddy was amazing at coming up with ideas and executing what we wanted. Our engagement shoot was at the state fair, and the way she captured us was just fantastic. Maddy and her assistant made the photoshoot a fun experience too. Our wedding pictures came out amazing too. I'm so happy we went with Maddness Photography; she really knows how to tell a story in the pictures, and I love that we can look at these photos for years to come. I will definitely go to Maddy for any other photography needs in the future. Thank you Maddness Photography! You are the best!

Maddy brought our wedding to LIFE.

Maddy was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we connected with her, we knew she was it. I had searched high and low for months, after seeing so many washed out, boring photos - Maddy's photography was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her work was full of life, love, energy, emotion and beautiful colors; which I knew was exactly what I wanted! Once Maddy spoke with us on the phone, she felt familiar and comfortable, like an old friend, to which she TRULY did become someone we can consider a friend.

Maddy was there for us with whatever we needed through the entire planning process... She is impeccable with her communication, and whether it was questions, moral support, or just a lighthearted pick me up - she ALWAYS was there for us. Her process was also very easy, straightforward, and her questionnaires and blog posts cover everything your and your spouse might need to know!

Leading up to our day, we didn't get to physically MEET Maddy until the day of our wedding, to which she showed up obviously completely over-prepared (which my Type A appreciates beyond a reasonable doubt), excited, and ready to go with us! The INCREDIBLY warm hug she gave both of us just reinforced what we already knew - she was meant to be with us on our big day!

Maddy kept us laughing, happy, AND she ran THE BEST interference lol. She is a great reader of emotions, situations, and even pulled me (Alex) aside at one point to have a cool down outside because she knew I was a bit overwhelmed by my family. Through the ceremony and reception Maddy and her assistant were GREAT! We got SO many compliments about both of them from our guests - noting that they were SUPER stealth when they needed a shot! Maddy also has an incredible eye, and her vision for photos is next level... She was able to direct us through everything and if you need yourself a hype girl - OH SHE IS IT!!! She’s also an absolute BOSS and will take control of a situation *if need be,* which was also important to us.. She made group/family/bridal party photos quick and painless which was SO needed, and also got a TON of fun shots through the night!

Seeing our shots come to life was spectacular, and when she sent us the sneak peaks we were absolutely FLOORED.... And then seeing our full gallery!? Stunning. Just truly extraordinary. We cannot stop staring at our wedding photos. We share them any chance we get, and so many of our friends and family have asked us how they could use Maddy for their photography needs. Anyone we show our photos to is absolutely taken aback by them, and truly, I think the relationship we created with Maddy shows through in our photos. We were comfortable, excited and genuinely happy! Maddy made our emotions, happiness, and visions come to life through her photos - she is WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT!

We truly can’t wait for Maddy to be in our life through all of the changing seasons and new chapters.

Simply the BEST

Maddy is second to none! She helped us stay on our timeline as she flawlessly captured every moment of our wedding. The detail photos are incredible! She was able to capture the emotion of the day in her shots. We had our engagement photos taken with Maddy and they were spectacular. We knew from that point to fully trust Maddy behind the camera. We let her scope out shots around our venue and had fun following her lead. Her personality made the day even more fun! We are so grateful to Maddy for beautifully capturing our perfect day.

Book her ASAP

Maddy was nothing short of amazing! She made my wedding day magical, if you have not booked her you need to do so ASAP! Maddy not only takes the best wedding photos I have ever seen, but she is the kindest person. As a bride, she was the most important vendor for me to be synced with the day of my wedding. Maddy kept me on schedule, calm and best of all- made sure I had fun taking photos. I can’t say enough good things about this woman. She made my wedding photos dreams come true. Tony and I loved taking photos the day of our wedding, and they didn’t feel rushed or staged. We never got bored, or like it was a job either- doing our wedding portraits were one of the best parts. Thank you Maddy! From the bottom of our hearts Tony & I thank you. We are so grateful to have met you & that you were the one to capture our wedding. We will be thankful forever!

This is your next wedding photographer!

Maddy/Maddness Photography was AMAZING from start to finish. I have been working with her for about 9 months for my engagement and wedding photos. She was quick to respond with any questions via email or text. Her website was super easy to use and was incredibly helpful in keeping all the "paperwork" together in one place. She even let me change in her car. She is super down to earth. Her and her team are incredibly talented at what they do.

During both shoots, she made Andy and I feel completely comfortable, which I think helped create more natural looking photos. Andy doesn't think he photographs well, but she somehow pulled off fantastic shots. She has an eye for special moments and interprets them differently for each client, which I love. She is a true artist, in that it's not "cookie cutter" in any way, but still felt polished and extremely professional. Our wedding went on without a hitch, she was polite, engaging and on time.

I would recommend Maddy to ANYONE looking to document their special event, I know I will be back for sure when we have kids for family portraits
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
