HI Y’ALL— I’M MADS
Oregon’s most joyful wedding photographer!
My passion for photography is rooted in forming relationships with my couples and documenting genuine human moments. I want to get to know you, make you laugh, and then throw myself down in the dirt to get the perfect shot. I actually grew to love the dirt SO much that in January 2020 I swapped my downtown apartment for a cabin on Mount Hood.
For two whole years I spent days in the Mount Hood National Forest swimming in the alpine lakes and skiing down Timberline’s slopes, and of course, finding all of the mountain’s best photo spots. While I live in Portland now, I still treasure those quiet years on the mountain and the ways they pushed me to grow as a human and an artist.
And speaking of art, get rid of any thoughts you have about stuffy “traditional” wedding photography. I’m not here for those stiff, posed, awkward shots. I’m here for YOU. Telling your story, your way. Whether that looks like hiking to a waterfall for your ceremony, spending a whole weekend at a campground with your guests, or doing shots of tequila on the dance floor late into the night. Your photos will feel like you.
I want you to be comfortable, have fun through the whole dang experience, and deliver photos that make you feel alllllllllll the feels.
xoxo,
Mads

“Not only do you KNOW, with the most confidence, that you're going to have the most beautiful pictures captured from the biggest day of your life when working with her, but the experience you get from working with her is unmatched. When working with Madeline, she makes you feel so special and at ease the entire time. Not only is she just a joy to be around, but she does an amazing job of organizing all the details leading up to your wedding, and on the big day.
She's always one step ahead. The entire service that she provides, even down to the little details when she delivers your photos to you is one of a kind. She literally doesn't miss a beat.”

“Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life…and work with your hands.”

DOCUMENTING MILESTONES
“If you are reading this, stop what you’re doing and book Mads now! Mads has photographed 3 of the major milestones in our life: engagement, wedding, and a family session with our newborn baby Maeve. We are so pleased with the experience and the photos are INCREDIBLE. We love her style of photography. We are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but she manages to make the experience relaxed and fun and to make us look like naturals.
She most recently captured beautiful photos of our 3 month old who easily goes from happy to fussy within seconds. Mads is great with kids. Even though she now lives across the coast from us, we love her so much we think we will fly to Oregon just to have her work with us. I can’t imagine anyone else photographing our family. You won’t be disappointed!”
