As a lover of all things analog, I have been delighted to incorporate some film motion picture into my work. Super 8 highlight films are now available as an add-on to complement your wedding photo gallery.
Hiring Mady was possibly the single best decision my partner and I made during the wedding planning process. From our very first call with her, Mady understood our vision for our wedding and made us feel totally comfortable (we both agreed to move forward with her on the spot without speaking with another photographer – a first, and probably last, for us!). She was exceptionally organized and thoughtful around the planning of our wedding day timeline and totally understood that we wanted our photos to reflect the reality of our day (we had both been through wedding photo sessions that felt exhausting and contrived, and we wanted to be present with our people on the day). Mady made the day feel so relaxed, and some our friends told us that our wedding photos were the least stressful they had ever been a part of. Mady is a truly lovely human being and a joy to spend time with – we genuinely loved hanging out with her for so much of our wedding day. We are so happy with our photos (especially the beautiful pictures of all of the people we love) and will cherish them forever.

Mady was an absolutely outstanding photographer for our engagement and wedding. Her work speaks for itself, but we can attest that Mady captures gorgeous images of the important moments: the ones you care about going in, and the ones you didn't know you needed until after the day was through. We wanted our photos to feel real and alive and true to the moment; we got just that.
But beyond her amazing talent, Mady was so attentive and caring throughout our wedding planning process. She was such a calm presence during what can be a stressful time, and it was like having a friend alongside us; she knew us and cared about us because she put in that effort and care. Mady asks her couples for their story ahead of shooting, which we loved not only because the questions themselves were thoughtful and meaningful, but because we can tell that she listened. When we see our photos, we see that story we told, the love that we share, and the people in our lives that made it possible.
FROM JACLYN & CHRIS, STONYBROOK, NY
Run don't walk. Mady is the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. I went into wedding planning feeling extraordinarily overwhelmed by the industry of it all and resistant to a lot of the expectations around what you're "supposed" to do -- getting to speak with Mady was a much-needed breath of fresh air. She not only validated but celebrated my feelings and offered herself as a resource from the get-go. I knew from our first chat that her calm, warm demeanor was exactly what we wanted (and needed!). Besides being an incredible human and a joy to be around, her artistry is truly exceptional. We wanted a more organic, elevated, documentary-style approach for our wedding photos. This type of work takes an incredible eye, a keen intuition, and real mastery of the camera. Mady has all of these, and somehow makes it feel effortless. The photos we got back are drop-dead gorgeous and something we will treasure for a lifetime. From start to finish, her process underscores the fact that she is a master of connection and truly cares about her clients. At risk of writing a novel, I’ll end with: should you be lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with this incredible artist: just say yes.
FROM HANNAH & ADAM, WASHINGTON, DC
We were deeply impressed by Mady's talent in capturing moments during our wedding that we didn't even notice. Her ability to capture genuine emotions and stunning details was remarkable. As we looked through our wedding photos, we were moved by how her photos weren't just images, but cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
What sets Mady apart is her remarkable ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera. We're not the most camera-friendly guys, but Mady's warm and approachable personality put us in a comfortable position.
One unforgettable memory is Mady's unwavering dedication. She hiked up a mountain to take our photos in freezing wind, and the results were absolutely breathtaking. Despite the challenging conditions, she managed to turn the natural elements into a stunning backdrop for our love story. The photos turned out perfect, surpassing all our expectations.
