Working with Madi for our wedding was such a wonderful experience! I knew that not only does she create absolutely amazing photos, but she is also so much fun to be around throughout the day! Our engagement shoot felt like a date night. She was so professional and easy to communicate with throughout the process, and she even scoped out our venue and photo locations ahead of time so that the wedding day would go more smoothly. She went absolutely above and beyond from start to finish! I’m obsessed with all of the memories she was able to capture, and we and our families will cherish them forever!! I would recommend her to everyone and anyone! She also did an amazing job of listening to what my fiancé and I wanted, and catering to that while making it even more beautiful! We couldn’t be happier with the result or the process!

Madi is AMAZING at what she does. We originally contacted her to photograph our wedding. However, once we got our engagement pictures back, we were so blown away that we reached out for a second shoot before the wedding! She is so kind, flexible, and fun to work with. Not to mention the quality of her work and artistic style is out of this world. We have found our photographer for life!

Jenna

The process with Madi from start to finish was seamless. From our first contact she was professional, warm, and engaging. She wants to capture her clients well and is intentional about making sure she knows how to do that. She can make anyone comfortable in front of the camera!

Melissa & Brian

My husband and I were so lucky to have found Madi through an Instagram post that our wedding venue was tagged in years ago. Her use of natural lighting really made us fall in love with her work. She came out to us in Chicago for our engagement shoot and we had the best time. When we got our photos back, I was in tears; I couldn't believe how she had made us look so great! Madi also did our wedding photography and I was obsessed with the final shots she had sent us. We seriously love and cherish all of those photos. We have made books for both sets of parents as well as ourselves, not to mention having prints and canvases made as well. We will forever be grateful for Madi's talent. Book her if you ever get the chance, you will not be disappointed!

Kelsey & Chase

Madi has captured some of my most precious memories from family photos for my grandma's 75th birthday to my husband and my engagement and wedding photos! Having met Madi during college and watch her business grow, I knew she would be a great person to capture these special moments. She is a joy to work with and makes you feel at ease while taking the pictures (and have fun!). Plus, her photos are absolutely beautiful! Can't recommend her enough!

Hope & Ryan

Madi was incredible. She was so open and flexible to work with when we reached out with our ideas. On the day of, she immediately made us feel comfortable and like we were just enjoying ourselves. Madi had great thoughts on composition and poses and the photos turned out better than we could expect. Our final images look like art and it's all thanks to Madi.

Hadleigh

Madi is one of the most gifted photographers I have ever worked with. She effortlessly captures her client's vision and personality, and every person's photos are truly unique and feel like them! Her editing style is ethereal and not over-edited. The subject of the photo looks beautiful and enhanced, but still like themselves! She's also so easy to work with and can make even the most nervous of people feel at ease and comfortable. Madi is a genuine, kind, and professional woman and I would be grateful to be in front of her camera again!

Claire & Nathaniel

You were so easy to work with. From the moment we met, it was all so fun! You have a way with words and such a kind spirit. I am so excited to look back at pictures for years to come and relive the day. You have exceeded our expectations!!
