HI Y’ALL— I’M MADS
Oregon’s most joyful wedding photographer!
My passion for photography is deeply rooted in forming meaningful connections with my couples and capturing authentic, heartfelt moments. I want to get to know you, make you laugh, and help you be fully present to document your story in a way that feels effortless and true to you.
A Boston native, I now call Portland home, where I live with my husband and our two cats, Maisie and Penny. I spent my first two years in Oregon living in the quiet of Mount Hood—a transformative experience that taught me to find beauty in the details. Those years elevated my approach to photography, blending artistry with a refined eye for capturing intimate moments.
As part of my artistic process, I bring the timeless quality of film to my work, capturing your day in 35mm, 120mm, and Super 8 film. Each format offers a unique texture and richness, preserving your memories with the warmth and depth that only film can provide. My approach blends analog charm with a modern aesthetic, resulting in images that feel genuine and evocative, filled with the same vibrant energy you felt in those moments.
With that in mind, let’s toss out any notion you have left of stiff, traditional wedding photography. I'm here to create a beautiful, natural collection of images that feel like you—filled with joy, elegance, and real moments. Whether you envision an intimate ceremony surrounded by loved ones or a lively dance floor that carries into the night, your story deserves to be told your way.
My goal is to deliver timeless, evocative photos that make you feel all the emotions of your wedding day for years to come.
xoxo,
Mads

“We had an amazing time shooting photos/polaroids/film shots with Mads and her partner Brian, and couldn’t have asked for a better person for the job. She’s someone who truly makes you feel comfortable for those who might feel camera-shy, and we never felt like we had to do any poses that didn’t feel natural or authentic to us. We had so much fun spending the day taking photos in multiple locations to get the best shots with Mads. We couldn’t recommend a better person than Mads to capture our engagement photos in our authentic selves!”

PLANNING YOUR WEDDING
“Mads is the absolute best wedding photographer! My husband & I had the absolute delight of having Madeline take our engagement photos and have her be our wedding photographer.
We couldn't be happier with the photos. But what really sets Mads apart is her expertise in weddings and professionalism. She ensures everything goes as planned with the wedding and all of your boxes are checked.
She is organized and timely. Her energy is so positive to be around, you can't help but to be happy around her! I cannot recommend her enough!”
