Madeline Rose Photography Co.

derfully kind, thoughtful and perceptive. Mads gave clear direction and made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. She gave great suggestions for the flow of the day and listened intently to our vision. We had no idea how much time we would spend with our photographers at our wedding, and we were so thankful to truly enjoy Mads and Brian's company as if they were old friends. On top of all that, our photos are phenomenal and capture the candid moments of the day, the emotions, the feeling in the environment, the joy and love. The posed pictures feel authentic, the lighting and details are perfect. Choosing Mads as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

rom Minnesota!) we knew we made the right choice. She listened to our hopes and dreams for our elopement and found the perfect spots that made for amazing photos and the most memorable day. It was just what we wanted! Moody, dramatic, woodsy, romantic, and highlighting the beauty of Oregon. She made the entire process from the very first moment so easy, comfortable and effortless and we couldn’t recommend her more. It felt like working with an old friend and like we’d known her for years! The day of our elopement Mads was professional and warm and made everything comfortable and fun. When you’re making a huge life commitment it’s exciting and emotional and it was important that we were able to feel comfortable being vulnerable with our photographer since it would just be the *three* of us at our elopement! Mads had recommendations for everything from cozy AirBnB’s to stay that were so cute, to fantastic outdoor locations that fit our vibes, to the best bar for us to end the night with burgers and Old Fashioneds (our favorite cocktail!). Thank you Mads, from the bottom of our hearts. We look back on our experience and photos with such love and gratitude and would do it all again and again and again if we could!! Much love to you, Annie and Patrick

ement session to give us the experience and photos of our dreams!! She has the most positive, exuberant personality that makes you feel like her best friend in a matter of minutes, which made me and my husband feel so comfortable with her right from the start. When we had our engagement photos, we left feeling like we were hanging out with a friend in the forest and were mind blown when we saw our photos - she just captured who we were so beautifully and candidly! And she just knows the PNW so well and how to best capture it. When it came to our wedding, she was SO efficient and we got pretty much all our photos done before the ceremony, so we actually got to enjoy our entire cocktail hour and reception, which I feel is rare for a wedding! And the results were ABSOLUTELY incredible. She had done so much research on our venue and even down to when the sun was setting/how the lightening would be so our shots were incredible!! The level of attention to detail, care, and expertise from the two of them is impressive. Not only were they our photographers, but helped me with fixing my makeup, fixing a broken bustle, helped guide us with signing our marriage license, and worked to make our day run smoothly. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

our engagement as well as our wedding day. We had a small intimate wedding and she captured just how special that day was for us. I can’t recommend her enough!

nd we couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome of our final photos. The direction provided by Madeline helped to create a comfortable and fun experience while our photos were being taken and it almost felt as if she was a long time friend. She even helped direct guests at dinner time to when food was ready. They went above and beyond the call of duty and was one of the best decisions during our wedding planning.

e of the best investments we’ve ever made. Mads perfectly captured the raw emotion and pure joy that surrounded our wedding day. This girl was my rock and I can’t even begin to express our gratitude for her. Mads and her darling Fiancé and second shooter, Brian, made us feel so comfortable throughout this entire experience. We felt like we were working with someone we’ve known for years. Mads is thorough, caring, detailed, and truly the most joyful photographer out there; not to mention ridiculously talented!!! So if you’re looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about you, makes you laugh, and captures the most beautiful photographs you have ever seen - then Mads is your girl!! Everything about working with mads was seamless from start to finish. From communication and suggestions; to timelines, sneak peaks and most importantly everything day of; mads handled everything with love, grace and professionalism. We couldn’t have been in better hands.

nd a full wedding day! She made herself known at the wedding and got people where they needed to be. We ended up way ahead of schedule and got all of the shots that we wanted. We even received sneak peeks the very next day! Her work is beautiful and timeless. We recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

lly nailed it. He was so helpful and uplifting the whole day, over all very impressed and would recommend them to anyone I know!

ther. She and her partner Brian took photos that feel like instant family heirlooms. We eloped in Yosemite National Park and Mads was completely onboard for our wild adventure. It’s hard to plan things ahead of time in a national park especially when things can close for construction or snow, but Mads smoothly curated our photoshoot agenda and joined our family events. She was always inclusive of everyone’s ideas and abilities, and really generous with her time. She brilliantly scouted spots once we were there across the whole park, including our ceremony location of Lower Yosemite Falls, which meant we could keep it a surprise for ourselves for the big day. We first did an engagement style shoot in a meadow next to El Capitan which felt like playing and exploring with friends, and we basically forgot the cameras were even there. On our wedding day we did a sunrise shoot capturing jaw dropping photos as Mads directed us thoughtfully so that we had fun and stayed warm despite cold temps. For our ceremony, Mads and Brian set up our crew of 14 people as an intimate huddle next to the huge waterfall which felt romantic, natural, and immensely meaningful. She swiftly directed our group formal shots and then we climbed some rocks to get even more epic photos. Mads is adventurous and thoughtful about everything, it always felt like she and Brian were cheering us on during such a big moment of our lives. Mads gave us a sneak peek set of photos on the wedding day which was such a delight to everyone. Every photo is a show stopper! We loved how they captured instant photos and gave them to us throughout the weekend. On our last day we hiked to Artist Point together for a final shoot as the sun set over the rock faces of Yosemite. I loved how everything felt like an adventurous elopement that was unique to us. Mads easily makes every moment feel special and comfortable at the same time. We had never done a professional photoshoot before the trip and we loved how effortless she makes it all feel. Beyond the amazing photos we captured, we had so much fun with Mads and Brian! Our elopement was a rush of emotions and we feel so much gratitude to Mads for helping us feel present.

peatedly went above and beyond to document the unique weekend. Mads both met my sister’s needs and surprised my sis with creative location ideas and special touches. Mads clearly does her scouting research and loves what she does; she brought nonstop good vibes and professionalism. Mads and Brian were thoughtful about our extended family and made everyone feel comfortable. There was joy and ease in each moment, and I cannot thank them enough for their hard work throughout the California weekend.

my fiancé plan, set up a whole experience for us, and captured the proposal and the sweet moments post-proposal beautifully. She adds so much to the experience, while keeping the spotlight 100% on your love, and helps everyone feel comfortable and look good in front of the camera. It felt like my fiancé and I were just together, enjoying being in love, and she happened to be there with a camera, vs the pressure of getting photos. Can’t recommend Mads enough.

e was the perfect person to capture our wedding day. She makes you feel so comfortable and confident (which was important for my husband and I…we are NOT the greatest models!), she goes the extra mile to ensure every detail is perfect, and most importantly- she makes your special day a whole lot more fun just by being there! I cannot recommend Madeline enough. I am forever grateful to have had someone as talented as her capture the memories I will cherish for a lifetime.

visioned, but we had no idea the value that she would bring. In our first conversation, we expressed concern that we hadn’t yet found the perfect location for an intimate ceremony. Madeline recommend a few spots, one of which turned out to be exactly what we were looking for, and we had the ceremony there a few months later. In the months leading up to the wedding, Madeline was so good about touching base with us about anything we might need. She recommend an amazing local florist, and gave a us a discounted rate on a second shooter (her now fiancé, Brian) which turned out to be the best decision. Many of our favorite moments throughout the day were captured from two perspectives, something that we hadn’t thought to ask for at the outset. Madeline coordinated with our videographer in advance, to ensure that the logistics of the day went smoothly. During the day, Madeline ensured that we didn’t have to think about anything except each other. She was prepared, focused, energetic, and kind. She captured every moment, and efficiently managed all of our requested family portraits. Thanks to Madeline’s expertise, attention to detail, and love for her work, everything went perfectly, and our wedding photos are deeply treasured.

that my wife's family lives in a different country), so the photography was all that more important. We wanted to ensure that all the moments of the day were captured, not only for our own future reminiscing, but also so that we could share them with those who would not be in attendance that day. Wow, did Madeline deliver! The end result was better than we could have asked for, and our venue even reached out to her to use her work as feature photos for their website and social media. Possibly more important was our experience on the actual wedding day. Madeline and Brian were fun, go with the flow, engaging, and knew how to keep the flow of the evening going through things like family photos and downtime between the ceremony and reception. We feel like we found true friends, and have tentative plans for dinner VERY soon:) (Mads - seriously, let's put something on the calendar). Hire Madeline for your wedding and we guarantee you will not be disappointed.

to postpone our wedding and navigate through a lot of uncertainty and change. Madeline became our ROCK throughout this process - she was our photographer but she was also the first person we called for  advice. She truly wants the best for her couples and it shows. AND Her photography is unparalleled!! We had a *dreamy* snowy engagement session on Mt Hood and a farm wedding reception on Sauvie Island. We knew she was amazing when we hired her and boy did she deliver! I am obsessed with our wedding photos. Brian was our second shooter and I am also thankful for those extra little moments he captured. Madeline brings such incredible energy to her work and makes you feel amazing when she's capturing your day. It's like you're hanging out with your best friend who you haven't seen in years. I simply cannot recommend Madeline enough!

e camera, even practiced posing the night before LOL! Prior to meeting her in-person, her communication was timely and informative, and you could hear her smiles through the screen! When we did meet her, she was the sweetest! She made us feel so comfortable, and it truly felt like we were hanging out with a friend. She guided throughout the whole thing, and it was super helpful! Not only is her personality amazing, but her gift of photography is indescribable! She is incredible at what she does and I'm so so thankful that she shared her gift with us. THANK YOU MADS!!

arried (Mt. Hood), and because the photos I saw on her website emphasized everything I love about the PNW. She delivered on both counts for us— the photos are spectacular and exactly what I'd hoped for— but what really sealed the deal was her personality. Madeline is funny, friendly, and warm. She made us both feel really comfortable with being photographed — something both of us were pretty wary of/not exactly looking forward to. I felt like she really listened to me when we spoke on the phone and took the time to get to know us, and as a result she never asked us to do anything that would make us uncomfortable or not feel "like us". I've seen many photos that she's taken of other couples (because I love her Instagram feed) that are super different from ours in ways that, I think, show her respect for the fact that how you want your partnership portrayed in images is ultimately a really personal thing. Madeline was also super helpful in working out the timeline of the day, went with the flow when things went sideways, and could seriously have a side hustle as a pet photographer if she ever wanted to (she captured some really adorable expressions from our dog—even when he was burnt out from a long day of excitement). And the aesthetics of everything she does (not just the photos but her site, galleries, how she shares the digital files, everything) are so lovely, thoughtful, and artistic. Bottomline: We lucked out with Mads and highly recommend her!

the guys while they were getting ready and take those photos. Madeline even helped me with a couple of hair malfunctions and picked bugs off my dress. So you can say they’re way more than just photographers - They’re incredible people! Madeline is absolutely amazing! I came across her Instagram when I was looking for a PNW photographer to do my boyfriend and my 1 year dating anniversary photos. What stood out to me about her photos was how natural all of her photos are! Some photographers seem to line everyone up, tell them to smile and snap a photo. With Madeline’s photos you feel like you’re there, in the moment with the couple. Her moody editing with “pops” of rust and rich tones is literally a PNW dream. THEN I met her in person - INSTANT warmth! She made us feel so comfortable and honestly it was such a bonding experience for my boyfriend and I because she was having us hold each other and make each other laugh naturally, so the photos didn’t look forced. Since then, we’ve gotten engaged and instantly Madeline popped into my head for our wedding photos. For my big life moments, I wouldn’t even think of having anyone else capture them! You need to experience her work! Because it IS an experience in and of itself.

an amazing photographer that makes the day go by smoothly and with ease. Each photograph we received back had clarity, uniqueness and beauty. We'll be looking and smiling at our wedding photos until we're old and gray, and we have Madeleine to thank for them. ❤️

t just hanging out at times! We found ourselves laughing, at ease, and truly present in the moment throughout our entire shoot. The photos ultimately turned out stunning and we got tons of complements. Absolutely would recommend Madeline!

whether that’s suggesting spots, airbnbs, etc. She even made the possibility of getting film happen which I was not expecting would be possible! And day of - she truly just felt like one of our guests because her and Brian were such a joy to be around! Im also so picky when it comes to photos of myself and she managed to make me feel so beautiful and really captured our energy that day. I could not have had a better experience with a photographer and I will treasure her photos for the rest of my life.

ust my husband and I because we didn’t get to have a honeymoon or big wedding because of COVID. I found Madeline on instagram and new immediately her style was what I was picturing for a cute photoshoot with me and my hubby, and BOY DID SHE DELIVER!!! Not only was she an absolute joy to be around (living sunshine), she made us feel so comfortable and we felt like we had known her for years?!? She sent us so many sneaks the next day and her turn around time (despite how busy she is) was perfect. If you’re looking for the perfect wedding photographer, look no further and do not hesitate because MADS IS YOUR GIRL!!! I will be calling her the moment my husband and I venture back to the PNW!! :)

ful time management and timeline skills to keep you organized leading up to your wedding and day of. Third, her photograph is so lovely, moody, and authentic. She manages to capture all the feelings, special moments and personalities perfectly. Finally, it was 106° F on our wedding day and she was an absolute champ! Love her and would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

hter out of us, that not only do I love our images, but I love the memories from that day. She is the kind of person you want to take home and just keep forever. Her joy is contagious and her art is unreal. Love her!

sion is to bring the forest indoors for your wedding" YES. I barely had to explain it. Our wedding isn't until Jan 2022, but our engagement photos were a month or so ago and could not have turned out better. A romantic, moody but fun vibe that she perfectly captured at Oregon Coast, and went so far as to take a 4 mile hike with us and spend a little extra time to get the location we wanted. She was amazing at capturing our bernadoodle pup for photos too. Madeline is the person you want behind the camera for that true "Oregonian/PNW vibe" with an awesome personality to boot.

to shooting our Maternity Photos! Despite the crazy windy weather we had, she was able to capture the most perfect photos that we’ll cherish forever. Plus she makes the whole process fun and relaxed. 10/10 would recommend!

ying to smile or make you position yourselves awkwardly. Very candid photos that you will absolutely love! Madeline took both my bachelorette party photos and engagement photos and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend her for any photo opportunities you have!

ewborn 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!

s up and knows great scenic areas for great photos. Would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. Thanks Madeline!

few years and I was dead-set on having her photograph our wedding from the moment we got engaged. She was my non-negotiable! Despite our wedding date, venue, and state changing multiple times, Mads was flexible, responsive, and so positive. I knew that as long as she was there, everything would be perfect and boy was I right! Mads fills any room with positivity, energy, and love and makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the world. This may sound dramatic but it's so true! From the minute she arrived at the bridal suite it was clear she would run the show from there on out. She was organized, fun, and felt like part of my family. She had me and my husband laughing all day and we felt so incredibly comfortable during what could have been an awkward few hours. It has been over a month since we got married and I still have friends and family talking about how much they loved her. You have to be a special person to make such an impact on so many people during a short period of time, but that's what Mads is. So so special and so talented. I've looked at our photos thousands of times and I love thinking of all the silly moments that took place while that photo was taken. If you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture every special moment while simultaneously becoming your best friend, look no further.

so happy with the entire process. Would totally book her again in the future.

and wedding photos done with her and double bonus, she will shoot 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!

hat! Mads brought an incredible fun energy to our wedding and was 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 good options out of all of them to use for our invitations. She 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.

ntire booking process SO easy and even face-timed me to to meet (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!!

. Madeline Rose, aka Mads was simply the best photographer we could 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

She makes the process effortless, and FUN. I've never met a more 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.

t to create albums for our families to enjoy as well. What a perfect 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!!

camera and enjoy our engagement shoot and she was super successful. 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.

officially booking with her, my parents could tell in our tone of 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

ve. She somehow managed to capture the intangible things that make 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!

or I booked. She is so incredibly talented; I am incredibly uncomfortable 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

ily photos at my 300+ person wedding and sent us the most BEAUTIFUL 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!

our wedding was truly lovely. She is so easy to connect with, so 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!
