MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
I'm Maddy, a Cleveland wedding photographer with a heart for storytelling and a deep appreciation for the in-between moments. I'm drawn to honest connection, meaningful details, and celebrations that feel intentional rather than rushed. Every wedding I photograph is treated as its own unique story, documented with care and attention from start to finish.
I believe your wedding day deserves to be experienced, not performed. That's why I approach each special day with a documentary mindset - allowing moments to unfold naturally while offering gentle guidance when it serves the story. Slowing down creates space for connection, and that's where the most meaningful images live.
Outside of photography my world is centered around family. Meeting my husband has been such a blessing, and together we've built a life that feels simple, wholesome, and full in all the right ways. Becoming a mom to our sweet baby boy has changed me in the best way - being his mama is a love like no other. He's the reason I push myself to grow and show up as the best version of myself each day.
My dog Milo, my first baby I always say, has been by my best friend since the day I met him. He's traveled with me to California during my time as a travel nurse, moved apartments, and made so many new friends with me. If you have a furbaby I'm sure you can relate!

MY VALUES
I truly believe everything happens for a reason. I believe the smallest moments end up meaning the most. And I believe photos should feel like something — not just look pretty.
Becoming a mom changed everything for me. It slowed me down. It made me more present. It made me realize just how quickly time moves — and how badly I want to hold onto the little things. I’m honestly happier than I’ve ever been. And that happiness changed the way I see people, connection, and love.
Before photography, I worked in healthcare. Caring for people has always been part of who I am. But when I picked up a camera and realized I could serve people in a completely different way — through storytelling — something just clicked. I realized I wasn’t just taking photos. I was creating confidence. I was creating joy. I was creating space for love to feel seen.
That’s why I do this.
Not just to document weddings.
But to preserve the feeling of them.
