I am passionate about a straightforward, down-to-earth, documentary-style approach that keeps the focus on what's important: Christ, each other, and celebrating with your friends and family. For any posed portraits of you and your beloved, I use flowing, natural posing that keeps the focus on your relationship, takes advantage of gorgeous lighting, and captures all the lovely details and intimate moments. My editing style is film-inspired, colorful, true to life, with just a touch of romantic cinematography.

(heavy posing, more serious tones)

(no posing at all, "fly on the wall")

(mostly documentary, a few formals)
When if comes to your wedding day, I'm a Catholic first, observer second, photographer third, and creative fourth.
Laid back, calm, organized, and flexible have all been words used by my clients to describe my approach to wedding days.
From photography school, to studio jobs, to marriage and parenting, to 5+ years of industry experience- capturing the beauty and reality of love stories and sharing with the world beautiful churches, lovely smiles, and authentic moments has become one of my biggest joys.
When I'm not photographing or editing, I'm chasing around two little boys, baking, developing a love for bourbon, and hanging out with my husband who is truly my best friend and love of my life. My vocation as a wife and mother truly fuels my passion for this business and ministry: I have my most productive brainstorming sessions walking babies to sleep.
"We are absolutely thrilled with [our wedding photos]!!!! And we have both along with our parents and bridal party been talking nonstop about how incredible you two were to work with! Thank you for being so kind, flexible, and attentive. Madeline, you truly have a beautiful gift!"
"Loved working with Madeline! We hired her for our wedding an the experience was amazing. Large gallery of photos that perfectly captured the day and were edited beautifully. Would definitely recommend her as a Catholic wedding photographer!"
"We just got our pictures from Tuesday and they're awesome! Another success, Hayden [groom] has told me more than once that he had a lot of fun!"
