    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.

    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 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.

    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!!!!

    Madison was fantastic. She knows what she's doing, and our pictures were great quality. She's creative and artistic. Even if some of the poses may feel awkward (like walking and kissing) Madison keeps it fun and interesting because she knows how great the photos will turn out. The shoot was a blast, and we are so happy with how they turned out. We did a regular couple shoot, and now that we're engaged, we quickly hired her for our wedding. She was the first vendor we booked. I highly recommend her!

    Madison is absolutely amazing! My fiancé and I fell in love with her wedding photography on instagram and knew we absolutely had to have her as our wedding photographer! We had a photo session at the Naval Academy back in October and our pictures turned out AMAZING! (They are my favorite pictures to this date, and they are captured so perfectly!) Madison is sooo easy to work with! Her bubbly peronality is contagious and she's so passionate and skilled at what she does! It was so easy to be ourselves during the shoot because she made us feel so comfortable! Madison knows what she's doing and it shows in her work! She has a quick turn around too, which is great! Overall, Madison captures the moment so beautifully! I can't wait for her to capture our wedding day! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a down to earth, passionate, bubbly, talented wedding photographer!

    Amazinnnnng!

    Madison is the BEST. She goes above and beyond as a vendor. She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and she was always in communication with us leading up to our big day! She got us a custom flag that went with our hashtag and overall just always made us feel special. She is so talented and I really felt like she was by my side the entire wedding day, making sure everything ran smoothly! Madison sent us a link with a TON of amazing sneak peaks just TWO days after our 11/3/18 wedding. We were blown away! We know the rest of the photos will be phenomenal like those were! :)

    Madison is the bomb.com

    Madison was absolutely wonderful. My husband is not a fan of taking photos, yet Madison made him feel super comfortable. After our engagement session, he asked, "Now when can we see the pics?" - and that's something he NEVER asks! On our wedding day, Madison was super prepared (I needed a safety pin because my dress wouldn't bustle) and went unnoticed throughout the day, which is a bummer, because throughout this whole experience, she's more like your friend rather than just your photographer. She's creative, fun, and just super sweet. I can't rave about our experience with Madison enough. I seriously just wish she could be my personal photographer throughout all of life's big moments!

    I honestly don't even know where to start! I had followed Madison on instagram for ages because she's hilarious, so when we got engaged it was a no brainer that Madison had to be our photographer, and I'm so glad she was! She was so much fun all day and put up with my husband's crazy friends so well. Madison so perfectly captured the energy at our wedding...the pictures are so fun and that was what was most important to us! Not only are our pictures amazing, but Madison got them to us SO fast!

    Just a few weeks after the wedding, my husband's grandma passed away. I reached out to Madison to see if she could possibly get us pictures her a bit quicker just so that I could share them with the family. Madison got me ALL our pictures that night and sent us every single picture of my husband's grandma and honestly I can not put in to words how amazing it felt. Madison so perfectly captured his grandma and the happiness she radiated when with her grandchildren and having these pictures is something the whole family has cherished so much!

    I truly can't say enough amazing things. Madison goes so above and beyond what I ever expected (hello fixing my broken bustle, cleaning up broken glass, and allowing our friends to facetime her weeks later...) and is hands down the best photographer we could have ever had!

    I could have not asked for a better photographer! The pictures that Maddie took were absolutely breathtaking and captured such beautiful moments from the best day of my life. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She was a pleasure to work with and was willing to listen to all of my ideas! (She even helped me ice my husband lol).

    I found Madison on her instagram account and thank the lucky stars I did. From the start, she mails you a wedding magazine that she created on all the details and tips, plus a useful timeline. She is very organized and answers all emails within the same day, sometimes within the same minute. On our wedding day, she was creative and i didn't have to worry about a thing. SHE ALSO GAVE US PHOTOS WITHIN 12 hours- like 20 sneak peek photos and they were all amazing. She is worth every penny and look no further. Thank you Madison, for making our day so special.

    Madison was awesome! We loved hanging out with her during our engagement photos in Baltimore and the results were epic! The wedding photos were incredible as well. Madison really captured every moment of the big day and we couldn't be happier with all the great pictures! If your looking for an awesome person to capture our best moments she's your girl!

    First off, I have a new friend out of this entire wedding planning experience. Madison you are absolutely amazing and we could not have been luckier to have snagged you. Secondly, I hate getting my picture taken and you made it so comfortable. You made our entire engagement sessions super comfortable and we were even more comfortable with you on the day of. You captured our wedding day so perfectly and I cannot stop looking at our pictures. We cannot begin to thank you enough for being apart of our day and now one of our friends!!

    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!

    Madison and her assistant did an incredible job at our wedding in November. They arrived early, paid incredible attention to detail, and were absolute professionals throughout the entire day. We opted to do an extra hour of photography at the wedding instead of an engagement shoot and it was wonderful to have a little more breathing room. I was a little nervous about not having the engagement shoot to get to know Madison, but we met her for coffee a few weeks before the wedding and I showed her some sample photos that I liked so we went into the wedding day on the same page.

    Madison has a great eye for capturing beautiful shots and I thought we had a nice balance of candid and semi-posed photos. After the wedding, Madison sent me the sneak peeks within 36 hours and we had the full gallery within 10 days. I could not believe how fast she turned them around and the quality was spectacular.

    She was the most amazing photographer a bride could ask for. She is so sweet and her photography is stunning! She even didn't think twice when I asked her to jump into a dingy to go to a sandbar for more pictures. She definitely made the day!
    The very next day after my wedding I got a sneak peak of about 170 photos!!! THE NEXT DAY AT 9AM in the morning!!!!! My wedding went until 11pm!!! I was so amazed at her work ethic! I could not believe how many I got so quickly! And I got my entire gallery of pictures 3 weeks after my wedding! 3 weeks! I know people who got married before I did and paid wayyyy more than me and still do not have their pictures. The same week that I got my full gallery someone who got married the weekend before me got their sneak peak! She was worth every single penny!!!!
    My husband and I constantly talk about our pictures and brag to each other how awesome they are. Every one that I have showed my pictures to have told me how incredibly magical they are. A lot of people have told me to post them to pinterest because they are pinterest goals lol.
    Before my husband and I got married we agreed on each picking one thing that we would not give up and would pay any amount of money (without argument) to have and mine was photography. I am so thankful I picked Madison. She was so affordable for the pictures she produces. A while ago I really wanted the photographer that my good friend had at her wedding, Natalie Frank, but she became very expensive (>$7000). Turns out Madison was the second shooter at her wedding! And Madison learned from Natalie. I literally hit the jackpot with her; not only did she provide even more magical pictures, she was also affordable. I know people who spent twice the amount on a photographer and I am not impressed with their pictures at all (and they don't even have their full gallery yet!).
    If you hire Madison you will not be disappointed at all. (I wanted to write more but it won't let me lol)

    Working with Madison was amazing. From the planning, to the engagement photo shoot to the wedding, all of our pictures were taken beautifully and she didn't miss one picture that I wanted to be taken. She was very organized and stayed on task, along with keeping everyone else on task and where to be. She did a fantastic job and I am so pleased we chose her as our wedding photographer!

    Maddison is fantastic! She is so professional and creative. Not only was she incredibly easy to get along with, she was so flexible with last minute picture ideas and details day of! I was so comfortable with her during the engagement session and she had so many helpful tricks to make my husband and I look even more adorable! Would absolutely recommend to anyone whose getting married. She also got the pictures to me so quickly and they were all stunning! She was the best decision for our wedding hands down and now we have these beautiful photos to remember the day!
