I’m Maddie, a San Diego Wedding photographer, specializing in candid & cinematic memories on film & digital.

If you’re here, you’re probably a Lover & a Dreamer who is planning one hell of a party. You want to absorb your partner’s vows, scream that one song with your friends on the dance floor, freak out over your dog in a tux and really get to be present on your big day.

Maybe you're wildly comfortable in front of a camera. Maybe you'd rather hide behind a shrub. Either way, I’ve got you boo. You don't need to know what to do with your hands or remember to stand up straight. That's my job.

I'm a San Diego based wedding photographer who's been doing this for 12 years and nearly 500 weddings. My work has been described as candid and cinematic. Photos that feel like you're right back in the middle of it all, with all the emotion, chaos, and little moments that made your wedding yours.

I’ve seen wedding planning easily drift to a brain melting place, so my goal is to ensure the photography part is easy breezy. I'll give you direction when you need it, keep things moving when they need to, and get out of the way when they don't. You get to be yourselves, enjoy your people, and actually enjoy your wedding. I'll handle the rest.

Two of my friends booked Maddie after our wedding. BEFORE they even saw the photos. Maddie not only grabs amazing moments and makes them art, she also makes everyone at the event feel like a top ranked model. We were nervous about inviting someone new into our special event, and we ended up wanting her and her camera to be a part of every big event we have from now on.

“Through her photos, she captured the overall feeling of our day — the dreaminess of the scene and the drama of standing on the cliffs, feeling the rush of the wind beneath us and the endlessness of the ocean beyond. For this reason, her photos are not two-dimensional. They come to life, and they tell the entire love story that only we were there to experience that day.”
