About

For the better part of a decade I’ve documented the love stories of couples throughout the country with an editorial eye and a heart for the substantive, genuine moments that make up the start of a marriage. My approach to wedding photography is rooted not only in creating light and emotion-filled imagery that will endure as an heirloom from your wedding day for years to come, but also in providing you with an unforgettable, personal experience. I believe that capturing intimate and authentic portraits and photographs begins first with building trust and friendship, and I relish in getting to know the unique story of each of my couples and their loved ones in the lead up to the main event. Whether capturing the smallest hand-selected details or the earnest and emotional moments that define your day, I am so honored to play a role in preserving your unique story for a lifetime.

An artist and an heirloom lover at heart, Madeline finds the beauty in all of life’s moments and cherishes collecting antique pieces and fine remnants of the past. She loves the texture and emotion inherent in shooting medium format film — a fondness that began when she first picked up a Polaroid camera as a little girl. When she’s not traveling to capture her couples’ days, you’ll almost certainly find her snuggled up at home with her husband, daughter, and puppy Piper, or planning her next adventure. Madeline’s work has been featured in numerous fine art focused industry publications, including BRIDES, Magnolia Rouge, Wedding Sparrow, Style Me Pretty, and High Country Wedding Guide.

Madeline produces stunning photography that will have you re-living every moment

Madeline Trent Photography (Madeline Trent) is an exceptional wedding photographer. She far exceeded our expectations beginning with our engagement session, and went even further above and beyond for our wedding photos. She truly has a gift for fine art/film photography and we are so pleased with our final photos. Madeline is extremely personable and professional and we could not be more thankful to her for helping us re-live our most important day!

Amazing! The best wedding photographer!

I cannot rave enough about Madeline Trent Photography! Her work speaks for itself—it is of the absolute BEST quality, and I have never seen a photography who can match her artistic eye for beautiful details. She is such a joy to work with, and worked so hard on our wedding day to make it the most memorable, intimate, and enjoyable day possible. Her talent is only matched by her kindness! I cannot recommend her enough!!!

Simply the best!

Maddie is the type of wedding photographer that I’ve always dreamed of! She was organized and on top of everything throughout the whole wedding planning process and on the day of. She has so much creativity and takes the absolute best photos! She went above and beyond to help me find a calligrapher and talk through the day of timeline and what all I would need assistance with on the wedding day. She became a lifelong friend through the process of wedding planning. I seriously can not recommend her highly enough!! She even prayed over us before our ceremony

Highly highly recommended!

I would highly recommend Madeline Trent Photography to anyone!! Although my fiancé and I ultimately decided on a different style of photography and didn’t end up booking Madeline, our entire experience and communication with her was incredible! Madeline was super willing to work with our budget and help us out with our needs! She was extremely sweet and understanding and extremely responsive. You can tell that Madeline is experienced and truly cares for her clients and isn’t solely trying to earn a paycheck, and instead gets true joy from providing life time lasting happy memories to her clients! She is willing to go above and beyond what is asked of her and would be the perfect wedding photographer for those looking for film style photography!

Everything I dreamed of

When I found Madeline’s Instagram looking for my wedding photographer I knew her photos were exactly what I wanted mine to be. After meeting her, I fully trusted her to capture our special day. When you choose her, your not just booking her for a day or two of your life. She talked with me frequently for a whole year planning all the details and making sure the whole day will run smoothly. I would recommend her to any and every bride! Beyond happy with our photos 💕

Excellent quality of work!

I found Madeline's photography business on Instagram and loved her style immediately! The soft lighting makes the photographs so much sweeter, and we especially appreciated her use of film and digital photography. She was professional, caring, genuine, easy to work with, and passionate about her work. Madeline took photos for our engagement, bridal portraits, and wedding day, so she helped us from start to finish with knowing what to expect at the sessions and answering questions. Madeline went above and beyond what we expected from a photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the result!

Light, airy photography and a truly professional photographer!!

Madeline is amazing!!!! Her photography is stunning, and she has an incredible eye and instinct. Her light and airy style is perfect for a wedding. It makes us feel like we're right back in that moment. On top of her photography skills, she's incredibly professional, patient, and helpful. Throughout the entire process, she helped me make decisions on our wedding aesthetic, colors, etc. In Madeline, we were able to find someone we trusted 100% and she exceeded all our expectations. I cannot recommend her enough!

Cannot recommend Madeline enough!!

Getting a great photographer was one of the top priorities on my list when I was planning my wedding, and Madeline went above and beyond in every possible way!

Not only was she incredibly organized, professional and flexible in scheduling and tailoring our photography sessions, but she delivers INCREDIBLE photographs. She did a great job at not only making us feel comfortable, but positioning us and giving us tips to make sure we got the most out of the pictures she delivered. Which, by the way, she delivers A LOT of pictures, and I honestly couldn't find a single one I didn't like (it's going to make ordering prints VERY difficult in the best way). Plus she was so quick with turn around on the photographs - like I'm talking she literally sent me preview pics the next day.

I could sing her praises all day, but I'll leave it at this. She is super creative and has a photography style that is so unique and beautiful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She is just a really awesome person!

Madeline is a gem! She is super easy to work with and literally bends over backwards to make people comfortable and to get the best shots. We LOVED our engagement photos. I've actually worked with her for several different shoots and have been more than happy each time. She has a true passion for her craft and a passion in general for loving on people and celebrating with them in new stages of life. HIGHLY recommend!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
