my philosophy
I'm not the photographer for everyone. I'll be totally honest - perfectly posed photos with every hair in place are just not my thing. And truthfully? We all know that's not how love works. Something so emotional, passionate, messy, and raw just can't be contained in a few stiff, pretty photographs. Your story is SO much more special than that. And my heart is to capture something that truly reflects this.
GETTING YOUR PHOTO TAKEN DOESN'T HAVE TO SUCK.
YES! I’m totally serious. If you’re anything like me, you might be thinking “this sounds nice and all…but we’re super awkward! Help!” Trust me, I get it. That’s why I’m here to not only leave you with photos that make you feel freaking amazing but create a process that’s fun and comfortable for everyone involved (lookin’ at you, fellas!).
Right off the bat, I take the time to get to know you and your story because THAT’S what I want to show through your photos. I promise I won’t pose you like a cheesy photographer on school picture day. My approach is using fun prompts, movement, and games to help you focus on your person and not on what to do with your hands.
what am i investing in?
Or maybe this is the question you’re really asking yourself…why the hell does wedding photography cost so much?!
If this is your first time hiring a professional photographer, the price tags may seem overwhelming. The whole process in general can be a lot if you’re unfamiliar with the wedding industry. I got you. I’m not just here to throw some numbers out there but really help educate my couples on what exactly I offer and what to expect.
The first thing to remember when choosing someone to preserve your precious memories is this: that price tag is there for a reason, and you’ll always get what you pay for. But! I never expect my couples to know these things beforehand. One of the best parts about my job is being your expert, go-to girl when it comes to all things photography. This means I’ll be totally up front about what working with me looks like before you even hit that contact button.

From the first time we saw Madison’s photography, we knew we wanted her to photograph our wedding. We changed our minds a million times - from eloping to a full blown wedding - and Madison was along for the ride. Madison felt like family, a sibling, our mothers loved her like their own. We’re not sure what our future holds, but we do know Madison will be our forever NYC photographer.

Madison was the sweetest soul ever. My fiancé and I came to NYC in December and it was a dream to have engagement photos taken while we were here. She was so sweet when emailing me back fast, helping me with outfit inspiration and locations based on my vision since we aren’t from NYC. We absolutely loved her. She was so much fun to take photos with and my fiancé felt SO comfortable and himself. He said she was the best photographer we’ve ever had take our photos and he loves her work- coming from a man who doesn’t like taking photos ever!!! Book this girl, she goes above and beyond with making your dream session come true!

We were looking for a photographer for an engagement shoot while we were visiting NYC and fell in love with Madison's photos and edits. She was so kind and friendly from the first time we contacted her all the way through our photoshoot. My fiancé and I had no idea what to expect as it was our first photoshoot, but Madison met up with us beforehand, talked us through what we would be doing, and what I really appreciated were all of her hilarious prompts to get us to come out of our shells. She is a genuine, warm hearted person that knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I can't recommend Madison enough! I am also a photographer and wanted to find someone whose photos documented honest moments and weren't overly posed. After looking at dozens of photographers, I finally found Madison. She was so sweet and funny which made it easy to relax when having our photos taken in surrounded by a bunch of strangers. If you're looking for a photographer to capture your authentic and honest love story, Madison is it!
