Hi, I'm Maddy! I’m a wedding & vacation photographer based in Orlando. I am originally from Northern California (Sacramento) and still book weddings there during select dates through the year! My style is genuine -- I strive for photos that tell a story and capture a moment in time. I want to focus on making your photos timeless instead of what may be trendy at the moment. I’m all about capturing real, raw authenticity between people. Candid photos can be some of the most beautiful photos you'll see in your lifetime. What I admire so much about this market is that no photographer is the same. Everyone has different styles, approaches, editing choices. If I'm your girl, then let's do this!!!

I never expected photography to have such an impact on my life. It seems like such a straightforward form of creating, but it’s so much more than that. I get to meet new people, make new friends, and create something that’s unique to me. I never ever thought I would be able to photograph as a full-time job, but that concept has actually come to fruition, and I’m still in shock. It makes me happy, and I’d like to share that feeling with anyone I can!

Most of the time, my creative outlet is through Photography. But when I’m not photographing, I love taking it back to the basics! Often times you’ll find me stippling (which is when you create a drawing out of dots!). I find it to be soothing & relaxing! Photography has always played an important role in my life. Ever since I got my first phone, I would take photos everywhere I went. I finally got a brand new DSLR in 2019 & moved into photographing people!

Thank you Maddy!!"

Not only did she orchestrate beautiful backdrops and poses, she made sure to capture the locations that were most special to my fiance and I. Overall we are very pleased with Maddy's services and product in addition to her eagerness to be a part of such a special moment in our lives."

How are you shooting California weddings living in Florida?
A.I have select weddings booked each year in California due to my move a few years back. I travel for each one & stay with family! I make sure to fly in at least a full day before so there are no delays. I am also offering discounted associate shooters for any weddings in California for 2025 + beyond! I do travel all over the country for weddings :)
Do you travel?
A.YES! Traveling makes me so happy. I offer custom destination packages outside of my area in central Florida. I also capture cruise weddings and international locations as well!
How does your booking process work?
A.My booking process is super simple!
For weddings: I will send an electronic wedding photography contract & invoice to your email. I need a signed contract and the 50% non-refundable retainer in order to hold your date. The final balance is due 30 days before the wedding date. Once I receive payment and the contract, you are officially on the books!
For general sessions: a 50% deposit is due at the time of signing your contract, with the final balance being due 3 days prior to our session and conveniently payable online.
What kind of equipment do you use?
A.Sony A7 IV
35-150mm f/2-2.8
85 mm f/1.8
Godox Speedlite Flash
2 TB Harddrive
MacBook Pro
Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop
Why did you move to Florida?
A.I always love an adventure! I lived in FL very briefly in 2018 when I worked for Disney. I have always wanted to move back and I finally made it happen! I have loved every minute exploring the sunshine state and making Florida my new home.
When are you available & how do I book?
A.Please contact me before setting up a shoot and I will be happy to tell you the best time I will be available to take your photos. I can get dozens of inquiries weekly and cannot always update my calendar. Head over to the contact page, kindly fill out the form, and I’ll be in touch as soon as I can!
Do you have liability insurance?
A.Yes, I am insured, I can always send your venue a copy of my liability insurance if they need it.
How will you ensure our images are backed up?
A.First thing after returning home, I back up my photos onto an external hard drive & cloud storage. Additionally, I shoot on 2 SD cards during every wedding. I do not delete any RAW images until your photos have been safely uploaded to the online gallery. I keep a copy of the edited images on my hard drive/cloud storage, as well.
When did you start photography?
A.I picked up my first camera as a high schooler in 2013. It started as a hobby, I did odd jobs through the years and was on and off for a while. Finally in 2018 I decided to pick it back up again for good! I revamped my socials, website & bought all new equipment... the rest is history!
Do you offer prints, canvases, etc?
A.Yes, I do! There is an entire print store attached to the online gallery you will log into. It offers prints, wall mounts, canvases, cards, and more! The store is outstanding quality and is highly recommended by many clients, myself included.
Can we add on extra hours during our wedding?
A.Yes, you can! Each additional hour is $400 and payment is due before I continue shooting longer.
