Maddie is the BEST!

Maddie was our first choice for a vendor and our best choice! She not only produces great work, but she’s also a really nice human, which is critical on your wedding day. She was so helpful with planning our wedding timeline that really shaped the day and made it easy to plug in other vendors. During both our engagement session and wedding day, she was an incredible hype woman who really helped pump up the party and get great shots!

Everything was seamless and quick. She appeared and disappeared at the right times and knew exactly when and where to get the right shots, even though this was her first time at the venue.

Our second-shooter, whose name I didn’t catch, was also really lovely. I exchanged a few words with her throughout the night and she was super kind! My husband, who she was with for the earlier part of the day, also said she was great.

Maddie delivered a TON of preview pics in our gallery within a few days of the wedding, right as we were driving on our way to our honeymoon. It was fun to look through them and start spamming our social media’s in the car. She really overdelivered on those. All my friends and family commented “THIS is a preview?”

The final gallery was simply incredible. I could tell she made an effort to capture moments of my grandma, someone I had mentioned I’d like a few pictures of together dancing. Since my grandma is like my second mom, those pictures will truly mean the world to me when she is no longer around. So thank you, Maddie, for giving me those shots. They are priceless.

I’m so excited to build out our photo album. It’s already proving hard to narrow down our favorites.

Don’t think twice, book Maddie now! Totally worth the investment and more. :)

I am obsessed

Honestly, to say I'm obsessed with Maddie is an understatement.

I've worked with her on many many occasions over the years, so booking her for my wedding was a no-brainer, but even with how many times I've had the absolute pleasure to work with her, she still blows my mind every time.

Maddie is an amazing photographer and creates such beauty, but she also actually cares about her couples, brands she works with, your love story, and all of the small details. She doesn't only try to get the 'popular' shots or what she thinks will be good for her portfolio or marketing. She has an incredible way of capturing YOUR love story and listening to the details that mean something to you and has a way of caring about them and never forgetting.

It means so much that things we found important, she found equally as important.

Madison is the best!

Working with Madison is an absolute dream! Our pictures are amazing and captured the day perfectly. She is responsive, listens, has great ideas and made the entire wedding day seamless. I can't recommend working with her enough.

To Infinity and Beyond what I imagined

Madison was an excellent photographer for our engagment session and our wedding. Our photos turned out amazing and I was somewhat worried because my husband isn't a huge fan of pictures, but he even agreed Madison made the experience fun and time went by so fast with her. She also edits her photos in a short period of time, and does an amazing job. I love how the colors pop in all of her photos. Madison is the first vendor I booked for my wedding, even before I had a venue! I knew I had to have her and I am so glad she could still accommodate us during COVID-19. I would recommend her over and over again, I can't say enough good things.

Madison was one step ahead of me the whole day!

I plan weddings on a daily basis so I wanted a photographer that would be 1 step ahead of me on my special day and Madison was! During dinner I noticed the sun going down and as I looked over at her she had already started heading outside to capture a few more portraits for us. Madison was very professional and did everything with an energetic and spunky spirit, she was fun! We were married on a Friday, by lunch on Saturday she had already sent me 15 pictures and the rest of the pictures arrived within 3 months, I know other Brides that wait 6+ months for 1 picture. Madison was great!

Absolutely Stunning!

Working with Madison was absolutely phenomenal! From our fist meeting at our engagement session through the entirety of our wedding, she was professional, fun, and so wonderfully talented! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and had such a quick turn around time delivering pictures. Our entire family loved having her capture our big day. The images were absolutely stunning! We do not regret asking her to be our photographer one bit! Beyond pleased!!

Wedding: September 28th, 2019

I followed Madison for a LONG time on social media prior to getting engaged! We went to the same college, and I always knew I wanted her to be our photographer when I got married. I reached out to her over a year prior to our wedding date to ensure we could have her capture our special day. Madison is literally one of the kindest human beings on the planet. She is easy to communicate with, passionate about what she does, and is truly one of the best photographers in Maryland, specifically the Baltimore area (and boy, does she LOVE Baltimore!!!).
She sent us an adorable welcome package after we booked her and provided lots of materials to make my wedding planning process much easier! Throughout my wedding planning process, we emailed about the timeline for the wedding day, about Harry Potter (my favorite thing in the world), and so much more. Her wedding questionnaire the month of the wedding was extremely detailed, making sure we were thorough about everything Sean and I wanted, and it was the perfect way to ensure everything ran smoothly the day of! I felt so relaxed knowing we had gone over absolutely every detail.
The day of the wedding ran so flawlessly. Both Madison, and our second photographer Brooke, were so energetic and compassionate (…and hilarious). They captured the PERFECT moments, both candid and posed. Our wedding was an absolute party, and we have so many amazing pictures of our guests dancing and having a blast. I also love how they captured little details of the big day, but most importantly, the intimate moments with our family and friends.
I feel so lucky to have had Madison be our photographer, as well as to be able to look back at these beautiful moments with my husband. We love her so much and can’t imagine what our day would have looked like without her! BOOK HER NOW, BRIDES!!!

Amazing!

Madison is amazing!! She is super friendly and easy to get along with and clearly knows what she is doing! Our photos came out exactly as we wanted them and she got them back to us SUPER QUICK- just one week after our wedding (which most photographers take months)! Madison is also very detail oriented and a great planner- she photographed everything we asked for, and did it super quick so we could enjoy most of cocktail hour just like we asked for. Madison also was extremely helpful when planning our wedding, giving us so many great recommendations of other venues along the way. I HIGHLY recommend her!

The best $$$ your dad will spend!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Madison made Michael feel so comfortable behind the camera that he actually asks if we can do MORE photos with Maddie on a regular basis. Maddie wasn't just a photographer though, she was an ear to bounce ideas off of, suggestor of other amazing vendors, timeline helper extraordinaire and a key part of our wedding planning process. The day of felt like just another Sunday because Maddie kept us on track, while having fun and feeling so relaxed. We can't sing enough high praises about Maddie; she was worth every penny and more. Also, side note: I've NEVER heard of brides getting their galleries back before a month. Maddie delivered ours on our honeymoon and every day we've looked at a few more photos as we relive what an amazing amazing day it was. Thank you Maddie! We LOVE you!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
