I love the Catholic church, I love marriage, and I love Tennessee: my home for 18 years. For me, honoring and capturing both the holiness and tradition of the sacrament of marriage and the warmth and natural beauty of Nashville, Tennessee, and the Southeastern United States is what it's all about.

Effortless.
Intimate.
Holy.

Every wedding day is beautiful and holy. My documentary-centered approach to wedding photography serves that truth and leaves you space to effortlessly live the intrinsic beauty, joy, and graces of your day.

A documentary-focused approach that leaves room for joy.

All  for
the greater
glory of
God.

It is one of my life's greatest blessings to serve my couples by photographing their love stories, honoring the beauty of weddings that are as unique as they are, and uplifting the sacredness of their new beginning. With over 7 years of portrait photography and studio retouching experience, I am absolutely in love with what I do and cannot wait to serve you too, whether here in Nashville or beyond.

Madeline and her husband Luke did such a wonderful job photographing our wedding in May. She was very communicative from our initial consultation to the wedding, and was so receptive to any ideas I had. We loved having Madeline as our wedding photographer and absolutely recommend her services for any photography needs.

"Her laid-back, natural style of photography made the entire experience so relaxing and fun
