The wedding day is one of the most precious and special days of a couple's lifetime. Madeline J Studios specializes in a documentary style approach to wedding day photography. Looking to capture the authentic moments as they happen throughout the day, rather than staging fake ones.

I photograph the traditional wedding day that includes getting ready to ceremony, cake cutting, first dances, and send offs. I also do small and intimate elopements where we hike at sunrise to a remote location, you say your vows with or without an officiant, and bask in each other's love together.

Finding your wedding photographer should be fun! We should fall in love at first phone call when we get to know each other. Cause ‘sis (or brother), we are probably going to be friends for years to come after we Instagram stalk one another and go through your wedding planning and big day together. I want to tell stories over margs with you guys about your cousin who stained his shirt in BBQ sauce, scream sing your favorite song on the dance floor together, and everything in between. I'd be honored to photograph all the moments of your wedding.
