Madeline Rose Photography Co.

t our reception next year! In both of our experiences, having our photos taken was really effortless. Mads makes it so fun and enjoyable, you just feel like you’re laughing and hanging out with a friend. She was so helpful in planning and timeline details, we really value her opinion and experience. Her editing timelines are honestly mind boggling, especially with everything 2020 has thrown at us. We had sneak peeks within days and our full gallery in just a few short weeks. 10000000000+/10 would recommend Mads if you are in search of a photographer. We will forever share our love of T Swift and spicy margs!

s so great at communicating. We had a very fast paced day with little time to get all of the shots I wanted and we only missed a few- thats hard work! We can't thank Mads enough for such beautiful photos and she got them to us so quickly-- she even texted me a few specific photos I asked for early so I could do a special something for my new husband as a valentines surprise- so above and beyond incredible! Thank you Mads- we can't wait to see you again for my sisters wedding :)

e was hard to contact, her phone was always out of service. When my life fell apart three months before the wedding, she refused to return any of the deposit. So she made $600 an hour at our two hour (if that) photo session, gave us three useable shots and then kept all of the deposit. Her lack of empathy when my wedding was cancelled was heartbreaking. This was all before the COVID 19 outbreak. Just be warned, if you're not super model beautiful, she won't use any of your pictures on her social media. I guess we weren't pretty enough.

(So sweet!). She even gave us an extra hour of shooting since I had a Texas engagement photographer (by the way we ended up having her there ALL night and added extra hours because she is amazing). She made me feel SO beautiful and SO comfortable all day - she got along with the entire wedding party - joking, laughing, and just having a great time - you can see it in the pictures how much fun we were having. My family and friends LOVED her and we were happy she stayed for the party which she captured effortlessly - jumping right in on the dance floor and connecting with all my guests. She captured ALL the details I asked her to so beautifully and then some + an awesome sparkler exit I insisted on - she rallied the troops and made it happen! On the flight to our honeymoon 2 days later we had a full preview (I cried) and shortly after our full album - such a quick turn around. Her tones and pictures are perfect - she truly captured the rustic elegance vibe of the entire day/wedding. Make sure you do a champagne spray with your girls (my favorite) and first look with your man - she will capture it beautifully! :) HIGHLY recommend if you can snag her!!

uld ever ask for. It has been 7 months since our wedding and we are still raving about the photography experience. Even our guests are constantly mentioning how awesome she was! Mads took complete control from start to finish, to make sure that the only thing we had to worry about was having fun. She has so much passion for what she does, and it shows. Our photos came our perfect and we are still getting compliments. We also had Mads take our engagement photos. I am not the most photogenic person, but she made us feel so comfortable. We had so much fun and so many laughs during the engagement session! Even though we just met, it felt like we have been friends for years. I highly recommend anyone to book the engagement session, as a chance to get to know her before the wedding. If you are trying to make a decision for your wedding photographer, go with Mads. I can not even describe in words how happy you will be! - Justin and Sarah B

exuberant, energetic, and warm person, and the qualities that make her unique are the reason you need her for your day. She will hold your hand, wipe your tears, listen to your vision, wear your veil, organize your crazy family, bask in your love, and when you see yourself and your love through her lens...it is a breathless moment. We loved her taste in music, her stylistic earthy tones, and her easy going personality...so much so that Mads stayed with us after our engagement shoot! How many people can say that their wedding vendor feels like a close friend? She is authentic and real, the list goes on. I hope she can capture our future children one day. Until then, I will enjoy watching her career take flight. She is one amazing human.

fect day it was - and Mads was such a huge part of it. All of my friends and family were so impressed by her and loved the vibe she brought with her. Mads made everyone feel comfortable, beautiful, and relaxed. The joy radiating out of our photos is amazing. I am so happy with how they all came out. She made it such an easy day and helped us all stay on schedule while also staying stress free. She is truly so talented. She has a gift and I'm eternally grateful that she shared it with us. We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season and I cannot thank Mads enough for giving us tangible memories of the best day of our lives!!

ful. We absolutely love every photo she shared with us (and there were way more than we expected) and we're so happy to have found time with her before she moves to the West Coast.

f voice how impressed we were, and pretty much said no matter the cost we HAD to choose her to capture our special day. Let me tell you- the investment was and is WELL worth every penny. First, we had received comments of our engagement photos such as, “these are THE BEST engagements photos I have EVER seen!”. Then on our wedding day with the help of a second shooter Ali, every guest was extremely impressed with the dedication to capturing every special, hilarious and romantic moment. We are talking like jumping to the floor to get the best angle, sprinting across a room when a precious moment is spotted kind of dedication. She will make sure you get every photo you ever dreamed of and create new ones you never knew you needed. You will laugh with her the whole way through and she will help any one of your family members or friends feel comfortable in front of the camera. The amount of time with her and edited photos you receive alone is insanely valuable, let alone the fact that the photos are something worth passing down to future generations. So beyond thankful! -Nicole & Tyler Ryan

ke a wedding day so special, the love from all corners that permeates the air, the rosy glow of friendship trust and adventure. She made these things real, tangible, and ours to hold on to forever. When I look through my wedding photos she sent to us (in record time I might add) not only am I struck by just how darn good she made all of us look, but I’m transported back to the wonder of that day. Seeing my mother watch us read our vows, seeing a perfectly timed shot of a sideways glance at my new husband as I’m smiling from ear to ear, seeing our families raise a glass and toast to our future. The value of having these images is indescribable. Beyond the photos she provides Mads is also a true joy to be around. My biggest piece of advice to couple planning their wedding is to make sure all of your vendors are not only good at what they do but they have an energy you want around you on your big day. Mads is an absolute light, there’s no other way to describe it. She is genuinely kind, funny, easygoing and at the same totally capable of taking charge when schedules shift or the unexpected happens. She is easy to trust and will make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. I can’t say enough about her. I had never met her before we sought her out as our photographer, but by the wedding day both my husband and I felt she was another friend we were so happy to share our day with. She gave us such a beautiful gift though her photography and I can’t thank her enough. If you’re lucky enough to have an opportunity to work with her, take it. You will love her work, and you will love her too!

mfortable in front of the camera, and she makes you feel like there's not even a camera there. She does an amazing mix of giving you clear direction, but also just capturing the blissful, natural moments that pop up. After just a few minutes into our engagement session, I knew we were going to get back at least a few amazing shots. But then when the gallery came back it wasn't just *a few* great shots...it was literally hundreds of amazing photos. I don't think of either of us as particularly photogenic people, but we got so many great photos from her that we had trouble picking our favorites. Flash forward to the wedding day and she was even more amazing. Her and Ali kept everything calm, cool, and on schedule. They chased away rando's from our ceremony space and kept overanxious family from swarming us during photos. The speed and efficiency with which they worked through our formal family photos to get us to cocktail hour on time was CLUTCH. We both have huge families and so many of my family members told me how great it was to not have to wait around for hours for photos. We woke up the next morning to a text with two incredible preview photos from Mads--we were literally screaming at how amazing they were. I cannot wait to see the full gallery! Hiring Madeline to preserve the memory of our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. Seriously, make the investment in Mads, she will NOT let you down

FUL sneak peeks in record time. On this special day in your life, my best advice is to hire the best photographer you can possibly afford, and Madeline is truly it. She did a great job making young kids smile, and the results are wonderful. Every single person who attended the wedding commented about how professional she and the second shooter were. We are so grateful!

o on top of her shit, and an extraordinarily talented photographer as anyone who has checked out her Instagram can attest. We had an awesome engagement session with her, where she was 100 percent game for kayaking(!) while photographing us. As we got closer to the wedding, she was such a reassuring presence, un-phased by any non-traditional choice (or even encouraging of it!) and calming about any anticipated family/friend drama. Our wedding day was so perfect, and it was in large part thanks to Mads! She made us feel like everything was under control all the way through - she even gave my dad great toast-giving advice, which he took! Friends and family at the wedding - and since - have told us how much they loved interacting with her. Also, she brought along her second shooter Ali who was a JOY as well. Now having seen our “sneak peeks” - Mads truly captured the essence of the day and the true nature of our relationship. We didn’t have to do any awkward “romantic” poses together, we were just able to genuinely be ourselves and that is what is captured in her photos. I’m so grateful that we chose her to be our photographer!

we knew from the moment we saw their photographs that Madeline would be the one to do our engagement shoot. Meeting Madeline in person immediately put my mind at ease. She exudes positivity and her friendliness made working with her a true delight. Her professionalism and eye for beauty are what set her apart from other photographers we've looked at. When going through her images online, I could tell that the couples she shot truly enjoyed the encounter, and being able to experience that for myself was a pleasure. I usually hate being in front of a camera, but Mads made me feel very comfortable without effort. The images she delivered are outstanding, and they truly capture the love that Hannah and I have spent the last nine years creating together. Mads is a wonderful soul, and you can tell she has a true love for her profession. I cannot recommend Madeline enough to anyone considering having their photos taken professionally! Thank you so much, Mads, for helping create a beautiful collection of memories for us. <3

her images. I was so much in love that I immediately messaged her (before I was even engaged!). Right off the bat, I knew she was the one for us. She was so professional, friendly, personable that I knew once I was engaged she would be our girl for every photographic need going forward. In November I got engaged to my amazing fiance, and over the course of the next 6 months, me and Mads became great friends while planning the shoot and sharing our interests in photography, small business ownership, and Parks and Rec. When we finally met it felt like we were long lost friends, I almost cried! We had been waiting for almost an entire year for her to photograph us, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait! Mads stayed with us in our small apartment and over the course of three days did four separate photo shoots with us and our sweet little pooch (two of the shoots were unplanned, but she insisted!). Every second felt like we were spending time with an old friend. I've never felt more comfortable, sexy, and fun with someone before, especially in front of a camera. The final images were so gorgeous I didn't stop looking at my gallery for weeks, it was like a dream come true that we finally had our own Madeline Rose images. I can't wait to work with her again for our wedding and everything after. I literally could not recommend her services more. Mad's is genuinely one of the most talented and kind women I know, and I now have a friend for life.

her (and general awesome human being). When I eventually got engaged, she was the first vendor I contacted—even before we had settled on a venue, I NEEDED to know her availability. We found a date that worked, and we booked her! We did an engagement shoot in Boston that was GLORIOUS, and even though we were only supposed to have 2 hours or so with her, we ended up taking photos in 3 different locations and just wandering around the city together (she definitely spent extra time with us and did not make us feel rushed in capturing photos in all the locations). She’s gifted at making everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and that shows in her photos. For our actual wedding: thankfully at the time (pre-COVID), she was willing to travel to Baltimore, where our wedding would be in May 2020. Fast forward a bit and unfortunately COVID hits, and Madeline, who had moved to OR, could not fly in. We decided to still do a “microwedding” on our original wedding date, and although she couldn’t make it, she still sent me recommendations of other local photographers (and her recommendation was fabulous). In the meantime, we rescheduled our “big wedding celebration” 5 more times, and Madeline was willing to keep pushing our date back (because our venue wouldn’t reopen…again and again). She also never increased her original price for us, which was SO appreciated (because most vendors have increased prices due to inflation and such, and her travel expenses would certainly cost more coming from OR). It ended up being a full 2 years later, but we finally switched venues and got a date that worked, and she flew all the way from OR to Baltimore to photograph our wedding. As an added bonus, she brought her fiance, another talented photographer Brian Brose, as her second shooter, so we were so lucky to have such a dream team. (He was just as wonderful as Madeline, and the two of them worked so nicely together–a dream team both personally and professionally!). Leading up to the wedding date, she was super easy to work with and schedule Zoom meetings with to discuss timelines. She provided great recommendations and really just made me feel confident that everything (and more) would be captured perfectly. She also collaborated really well with our videographers, who she didn’t meet until the day of; they all worked in tandem and were respectful of each other and understood everyone’s needs and spacing and such. It was so lovely to see the professionalism and talent at work! She was also so on top of things regarding timing, which, as an OCD planner, I could not be more thankful for. We had a relatively tight timeline due to strict venue rules and a lot of hair/makeup to get through at the hotel and multiple photo locations, but she and Brian somehow managed to keep us on schedule (which so many people had warned me simply wouldn’t happen) before the wedding AND during the wedding itself.

r Gorge outside of Portland, and instantly she made my husband and I so comfortable, and we felt like we were just hiking with a friend. She made us feel like ourselves, and our photos exude us as a couple, not awkward poses or things we wouldn’t do in our everyday lives. I am so thankful for crazy little Instagram leading me to Madeline, because now we have photos to remember one of our favorite memories. If you’re looking for someone who’s going to capture you as a couple, she is 110% your gal...and she’s hilarious and fun to be around (always a plus!).

ok time to share stories as a couple, popped champagne with Mads on the beach, and time seemed to pass so quickly because of how much fun we were having! We received sneak peaks that same night and were BLOWN AWAY by how beautiful and perfect they were! When we received the full gallery a week or two later, Kelsey and I were both in tears at how effortlessly (to us) she captured our love. We are still obsessing over them many months later, and we know that we will continue to feel this way about the photos, and Maddie, for years to come! She became a friend to us that day and we are so thankful for everything she has done for us and for who she is! You will LOVE every moment with her. Her energy is contagious and she will make you both feel so comfortable, happy, and perfect just as you are.

when I opened the link to our album. Every picture captures our love, our personalities, our silliness… and they’re absolutely beautiful. We can’t stop looking at them. Along with receiving incredible photos, we had a blast during the shoot. Mads is down to earth, funny, creative, and full of joy and she brought out all of those qualities in us, too. I’d recommend Madeline Rose Photography without reservation, especially to those looking to capture genuine candid moments in a way that is both beautiful and reflective of exactly who you are. If you’re lucky enough to have Mads as your wedding photographer, you’re guaranteed gorgeous photos and, frankly, an awesome human to spend your special day with.

-around person. She made herself available at any time prior to assist with decorations, food, colors, or anything we needed advice on. She knows the wedding industry inside and out and understands exactly what it takes to make a wedding/event go smoothly. The quality of her photos speaks for themselves, and we could not be happier with the results.

olled around, I felt like we’d known each other for a long time. She made me and my camera shy husband feel so comfortable and special on our big day. She truly went above and beyond—even with such short notice, she planned the perfect photo shoot around the city with no detail spared. And best of all, the pictures turned out AMAZING!!!! I could go on and on about Mads. She is the best and we are so lucky that she was part of our day.

beat, energetic, and is fantastic at posing you in a way that doesn’t look/feel like posing. We wanted to have a simple wedding with photos that really felt like us (no bridal party, getting ready at home, no formal dances, etc). Some vendors kind of made us feel like that wasn’t “enough” but Mads was always enthusiastic about our plan and was encouraging every step of the way. She’s organized, kind, fun, and captures gorgeous images while making you feel confident. When you choose Mads you’ll have a genuine, caring photographer, absolutely no photo-related stress, and more amazing photos than you can even print. We loved her, our guests totally loved her, and honestly I just wish we could go back to the beginning and do it all over again with her!

e were some huge shoes to fill!) I inquired with Madeline Rose Photography and was immediately blown away by her level of service, kind-heartedness, and clear genuine desire to make sure our day was as special and intimate as we were hoping for. Since my fiancé and I were only spending the day with one another (and our photographer), so it was really important that we had someone that was not only extremely talented but also super fun to be around as well. As soon as we had our inquiry call prior to booking, I knew Mads was that perfect person. Leading up the the big day, she was more than happy to offer helpful advice, vendor referrals and shoot location ideas and always answered emails and phone calls super quickly. She even made it a point ahead of time to ask us the 'nitty gritty' questions to make sure that she caught every important detail that we planned into the day. On the day of, she met my fiancé and I at the courthouse with a loving welcome and was so genuinely happy and excited to be there and be a part of our day. After the ceremony she walked and guided us throughout the city to help us get the most beautiful photos, while making the journey SO MUCH FUN with causal conversation and just the simple joy in being there. We were never pressured or pushed to do anything we weren't comfortable with, she simply guided us a bit here and there while allowing us to be the most natural version of ourselves. Mads has a way of making sure that the personality of you and your new spouse shine through every pose and that your relationship is featured in every photo. After the big day, we had both our sneak peeks and full gallery delivered earlier than expected filled with photos that are beyond breathtaking in every way. There are so many genuinely beautiful photos that we will never even be able to use them all! I am still in love with her woodsy and moody Pacific Northwest inspired style, it's exactly what we wanted out of our gallery. As someone who has experience in working with some extremely talented and experienced wedding industry professionals, I can honestly say that Mads is more than you could ever ask for in a wedding photographer. If you want someone who will embrace and support you at every turn, you simply can't go wrong with Madeline Rose Photography. I only wish I could keep her from moving to Oregon so I could keep her all to myself! :)

eautiful 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 went above and beyond by gathering beautiful fall leaves on her own time, to bring to my wedding in order to get the perfect picture! I mean, come on! 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. And have I mentioned how talented she is?! This girl is on fire, and like I said earlier, an asset to your wedding.

the vibe was off or it was too much of a sales pitch. Thank you, Next. 

In comes my saving grace and her name is MADS. I took notice of her work on Instagram and knew I had to connect with her. My fiancé also gave the stamp of approval after seeing her work (Brides- Isn’t it rare when you actually agree on anything wedding related? It was a good sign!) We set up a FaceTime and immediately got a sense of someone who was genuine, easygoing, and kind. When we got off the phone with her, my fiancé said to me, “Now if only we can find the rest of our vendors to be like Mads.” It was the easiest decision we made in hiring Mads as our photographer. Since we are getting married in California, we wanted to take our engagement photos in Boston (my fiancé’s hometown). I did want to note that we reached out to her fairly last minute. She was working in New York but worked with our schedule to make it happen while we were in town! We couldn’t be happier with our photos. As two people who have never done any type of photoshoot before, we felt very comfortable with Mads right away. It really felt like a group of friends hanging and exploring Boston for the day. We joked around that we needed to be on the same coast so we could do this all the time. I'm excited to hear that she is moving to Oregon and I can’t wait for west coast brides to see her talent! Bottom line folks, Mads is as real as it gets and her photos are real. And to Mads, if there is a way you can somehow cater, DJ, coordinate, do my hair and make-up, I’d love to hire you for it all because you were that amazing to work with.
