A true and talented artist!

Where to begin? From the very first inquiry email to the delivery of our wedding gallery Madeleine was just a dream to work with! Her sweet and gentle spirit never made us feel rushed or stressed on our wedding day. We actually got to focus on what was important and enjoy our day all while receiving the most beautiful photographs you could ask for. My husband is not the biggest fan of getting his photo taken but after we finished with portraits on our wedding day, he said that he enjoyed and loved the experience so much! We have received endless compliments from our family and friends about our wedding photos and how Madeleine treated everyone! Her photos are true works of art and we will cherish them forever! Thank you for everything, Madeleine! :)

Amazing Photographer

Madeleine did an amazing job at capturing our special day and really has an eye for capturing those special quiet moments. Before our wedding, she made it a point to go over our wedding timeline and what shots we really wanted captured. Many people who attended my wedding mentioned to me how hard she was working to get shots all day, and how she seemed to be everywhere all at once. I am so pleased her pictures are what we have to remember our wedding!

Hire Madeleine as your wedding photographer!

Madeleine did an amazing job as our wedding day photographer! She went above and beyond to capture every moment we hoped to remember from our wedding day! Madeleine’s calm, kind, and laid back personality kept us at ease throughout the entire day. Madeleine is extremely talented at capturing beautiful moments in an artistic way. Her talent is outstanding and at a reasonable price especially compared to other photographers in the northern VA area. Multiple wedding guests commented how impressed they were that it was apparent that Madeleine was working very hard the entire day and enjoyed having her there. We are incredibly grateful Madeline was our wedding day photographer!

We were thoroughly satisfied with Madeleine’s work and greatly enjoyed having her as our engagement and wedding photographer. We’re not a couple who is extremely comfortable in front of a camera, but she made us look great. She is willing to take direction, but has great ideas for amazing shots when her opinion is asked. We really appreciated her uncanny ability to capture up-close details and candid shots, and present the lighting in a soft, but poignant, way. Wedding planning is a crazy time, and thinking about what photos we wanted to have was not high on our priority list. Madeleine did a fantastic job taking a huge variety of engagement and wedding photos with basically no direction from us, and we were very pleased with the result. After our wedding, however, we did wish that we had more photos of our reception. Madeleine asked us during the reception if there were any particular photos we wanted taken, and we simply had not even thought about it beforehand. If there are specific photos you’d like to have, it would be a good idea to think about it and then sit down with Madeleine and let her know.

Our favorite things about Madeleine’s photography:
Her price is very reasonable.
She is very reliable in communicating and is always on time.
She has a beautiful sense of light, space, and movement.
She works well with clients even if they are not naturally photogenic.
She is calm and decisive when speed is required.
She works quickly and efficiently.
She has a fast turnaround time, and gets your photos back to you quickly.

It was so much fun to work with Madeleine, and we will treasure her photos always. Photos are such a special part of remember the most important days of your life, and you’ll be so happy you found such a reliable, amazing, and talented photographer as Madeleine for your special day!

Choosing Madeleine as our wedding photographer was one of the best wedding planning decisions that my husband and I could have made!! Not only did the photos surpass our expectations, but Madeleine was a blast to work with! She is creative, enthusiastic and very passionate about what she does. She was extremely accommodating and really took the time to listen to us and perfect our vision. The emotion and excitement of the day was beautifully captured! We will cherish these memories forever! Thank you Madeleine!
