"Maddie made our wedding day unforgettable.
Mary + BrIan
Maddie absolutely made our wedding planning experience seamless. She impressed us from day one. Her experience as a wedding photographer helped us plan a wedding day timeline that ran like clockwork. The photographs speak for themselves...they are unique, beautiful, and most of all, real. She captured every moment we asked for and many that we didn’t even know we wanted.
Kim + Tim got married at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, followed by dinner and dancing at Wildman BT. It was such a great night to remember!

I had the pleasure of photographing breakfast with the M family as they welcomed their newborn baby. Safe to say, I wish everyone was up for this kind of documentary session!
