From the initial phone call where I get to know your story until the final gallery is delivered, I am sure to make my couples feel taken care of, confident and excited. Going into your wedding day, it is important to me that you feel worry-free and ready to be fully present. I strive to make the experience a fun & easy one so you can receive candid and natural looking images. My theory has always been “if you feel uncomfortable, you’ll look uncomfortable, and nobody wants that”. And to top it all off, I edit every single one of your images myself, carefully curating the perfect gallery for you to enjoy for decades to come!
your story unfolds — tender, fearless, and beautifully human
Anywhere outside of the Midwest
Your wedding day deserves to be captured wherever your love story takes you. From a sun-soaked beach to a cozy mountain escape, I offer full weekend coverage—no strict time limits. Rehearsal dinner is included, and I include a local engagement session too so you can have some photos done before we take off! From getting ready to your first dance, I work with you to create a timeline that fits your vision perfectly. Film photography, drone photos, and a list of preferred vendors are available if you’re interested. When you book me for your destination wedding, you’re booking an entire weekend of beautiful photography coverage, I'm not missing a beat!
Includes MN, WI, IA, & the Dakotas
Whether it’s a lakeside celebration, your dream wedding venue, or your parents backyard, I capture the day you’ve been dreaming of. Full-day coverage comes standard, and we’ll craft a timeline that fits your needs. A custom proposal that fits your needs, whether its an engagement session in MN, all weekend coverage, or includes a boudoir shoot, I am happy to make it fit YOU. You’ll receive a full gallery of images covering every special moment. Film photography, drone shots, and vendor recommendations are available. Booking me means you get anything photo-wise you need, capturing your story exactly as it unfolds.
Fill out my inquiry form with all the details about your day. Once I receive it, I’ll send over my pricing guide and we'll schedule a call so we can get to know each other and chat through your vision.
During our call, we’ll walk through your plans, your priorities, and what you’re dreaming up. I’ll answer any questions you have and make sure you feel confident about next steps before booking. I'll put together your proposal and send you over the next steps!
When you’re ready, a 25% non-refundable retainer locks in your date on my calendar. Once that’s complete, you’re officially booked and we can start planning all the fun details!

Some will say because of the beautiful deliverables, some will say because of her personality, and some might even talk about how easy the process was. But at her core, she believes that photos are better to look back on when you were having fun taking them. She is a photographer who stays fully present & in tune with her clients, focusing on anticipating happy moments, hugs, tears, and more. While photos are Madelyn's job, your memories are her priority. She aims to make your experience an easy, fun, positive one where you feel understood, seen, and taken care of.
She focuses on the in-person experience rather than the final product, prioritizing you & your partner and how you feel more than how you look. Of course, she wants you to look your best, but she believes that starts with feeling your best, especially in her presence. Her aim is to have fun & act more as an encouraging friend who you can be yourself with!
Most clients rave about Madelyn's personality, sense of humor, and relatability, creating a comforting & easy experience. This is why clients that feel uncomfortable in front of the camera find ease at sessions with Madelyn. And when they receive their gallery, they say it exceeds their expectations & captures the emotions of the day.
A mix of purely documentary style approach & fun prompts with a dash of direction for editorial shots, my priorities are about telling a story: sentimental moments, details, unique lighting and artistically composed shots. I am focused on a romantic connection with an artistic finish. I am known for delivering you a gallery of emotional, beautiful, true to life images that will stand the test of time & tug at your heartstrings.
