Nice Words
On the day of, she made us super comfortable, made us laugh, made us enjoy the moment. my partner and I don’t particularly love having attention on ourselves and can be quite awkward during posed, non-candid pics. Maddie changed that. Not only did she capture the little, authentic moments between us, she also posed us in a way that felt effortless and natural

Do you shoot film?
Yes! I’m a film wedding photographer at heart. Film is my roots! I started on a little 35mm film point and shoot as a kid, which led to getting an old, unused darkroom at my high school back up and running. It’s been by my side ever since. Film is also just so charming and romantic. You can’t beat the magic of it!
What if we hate having our photo taken?
Almost every couple you see in my work has told me “we’re so awkward in front of the camera and hate having our photo taken”. As a wedding photographer who also hates having her photo taken, I know how important direction is and I got you boo! I will never leave you wondering what to do with your hands and I won’t stop telling you how good you look. It will be painless, fun and result in timeless, keepsake photos.
Do you shoot destination weddings?
Yes! I’m a San Diego based Destination Wedding Photographer and my passport is always ready to go. I’ve had the honor to photograph weddings all around the world and travel is always included in all of my packages. Whether you’re planning from near or far, I’m ready to take care of all of the logistics so you don’t have anything extra to worry about.
