THE Experience

 

TIMELESS IMAGES WITH A FUN & PERSONABLE APPROACH

 

Collections


No two weddings are the same and every couple is unique. Your photography experience should not be a "one size fits all" investment. I want your experience to feel bespoke, personal, and stress free from the beginning.


WEDDING INVESTMENTS BEGIN AT $3750 FOR A 7 HOUR EXPERIENCE.

 

HOW IT WORKS

THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE

STEP 01

 

Fill out the form

Start by filling out the contact form and providing me with as many details as you can. The more I know about your wedding, the better I can serve you.

STEP 02

 

let's connect

Let's schedule a call or meet up for brunch to get to know each other! I only take on a select number of weddings each year. I do this so each bride feels celebrated, supported, and comfortable, start to finish.

STEP 03

 

booking

Once I learn more about your vision, I'll curate a custom proposal designed specifically for your day. From there we'll make things official with a 20% retainer, a signed contract, and your wedding is officially on my calendar. Let the session planning begin!

STEP 04

 

Sessions

I will work with you to plan your engagements, bridals, or any other additional pre-wedding coverage you'd like. I love spending time with my couples in front of my camera prior to the big day- it truly does put you at ease for the wedding day.

STEP 05

 

timeline curation

I will work alongside you and your planner to create a photo timeline that best serves your wedding plans and what is important to you., so your day flows smoothly.

STEP 06

 

the wedding

Once your wedding weekend is here, I want my couples to be completely present and remain in the moment. I will support you, put you at ease, and guide you into moments to document beautifully.

STEP 07

 

delivery

Within 72 hours of your wedding, you'll receive sneak peeks in your inbox, followed by your full gallery within 12 weeks. From there, you will select your favorites and I will design any albums and order prints so your memories live as heirlooms for years to come.

"Madison is truly one of a kind!

Her creativity and attention to detail are unmatched, and she has such a special gift for capturing the little moments that end up meaning the most. After just one phone call to see if we would be a good fit, I immediately felt like I had made a new friend by the time we hung up!


Madison made not only me, but my husband, entire family, feel seen, comfortable, and so special throughout the entire process. She captured the sweetest moments from my bridals, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day, and I will cherish those memories forever. She has a way of making you feel completely at ease while somehow catching all the little details and genuine moments you never want to forget.


I truly couldn’t imagine choosing anyone else to capture such an important season of my life. If you’re looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, thoughtful, creative, and genuinely cares about you and your experience, do yourself a favor and BOOK HER! You will not regret it!"

Commonly asked questions

 

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDINGS?

Absolutely! While I call Louisiana home, I happily photograph weddings throughout the South and beyond. From the historic charm of New Orleans to the rolling countryside of a destination wedding, I find so much inspiration in new places. Wherever your love story takes you, I’d be delighted to come along!

DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH ON FILM?

Yes! There’s something so special about the softness, character, and nostalgic beauty of film photography. I love incorporating 120 and 35 format into my work alongside digital photography. Each has its own magic, and together they allow me to create imagery that feels romantic, intentional, and beautifully true to life.


Film photography coverage is available upon request and may be customized to your collection.

HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS WILL WE RECEIVE?

Every session and wedding tells a different story, and I believe in documenting it fully! Depending on your chosen wedding collection, you can expect approximately 500 to 1000+ carefully edited photographs. Sessions can expect anywhere from 75 to 100 photographs. From the smallest details to the biggest celebrations, my goal is to deliver a gallery filled with meaningful memories you’ll treasure for generations.

WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?

Because I know how exciting it is to relive your wedding day, you’ll receive a collection of preview images within 72 hours! Sessions are anywhere from 2-4 weeks, depending on busy seasons. Your complete gallery will follow within the delivery timeframe outlined in your agreement. Every image is thoughtfully selected and edited with the care your memories deserve.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?

Timeless, romantic, and full of life! I’m drawn to beautiful light, genuine emotion, and all the little details that make your wedding day uniquely yours. My approach blends thoughtfully composed portraits with the wonderfully candid, in-between moments. I want your photographs to feel just as beautiful fifty years from now as they do today, while bringing you right back to how it all felt.

WHAT IS IT LIKE WORKING WITH YOU?

Think of me as your photographer, biggest cheerleader, and a familiar face throughout the entire experience! I love getting to know my couples beyond the camera, making sure they feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely celebrated. I’ll offer guidance when you need it, step back when the moment calls for it, and probably get just as excited as you do over the prettiest little details!

DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT AND BRIDAL SESSIONS?

I sure do, and they’re some of my favorite parts of the wedding experience! These sessions give us the opportunity to spend time together, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create beautiful portraits without the excitement and time constraints of the wedding day. Engagement and bridal sessions are included in select collections and may also be added separately.
