Madysyn was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer! She was professional, kind, creative, and got us the most amazing photos for our day. I was drawn to her because of the bold colors in her gallery (so many wedding photos look overexposed and washed out to me!) and she did not disappoint. I also really appreciated that she was so considerate about using gender neutral language for our mixed gender wedding parties. I would highly, highly recommend Madysyn for anyone looking for gorgeous photos and a wonderful, stress-free experience!

d, handled some unexpected weather chaos (2 ft of snow in May) and went above and beyond to get the perfect shot. I appreciated that she and her second photographer was willing to stand up to some pushy family members and stick to the plan we agreed to. She even knew I would want some sunset photos even when I initially thought I didn't want too. She and her second photographer (I forget her name I'm so sorry but she was also amazing) were so professional and helped make our day so amazing. The photos are beautiful and Madysyn is easily the best vendor we booked. I would be more than willing to book her for any photography needs in the future.

If we could give Madysyn 10 stars, we would! She was amazing from the first time we spoke. From the paperwork, to the millions of questions we had, to the wedding photography, she ...
handled everything like the professional she is.
We're outdoor enthusiasts so we knew we wanted to be married in the mountains and that we wanted to elope. After a lot of research, we decided on Maroon Bells State Park in Aspen. Since we had never visited the park, we weren't sure of the best location in the park or time of day to have the ceremony. Madysyn made the four hour trip out to Aspen to scout it out a few weeks before the wedding and found the perfect spot.
She also suggested doing the ceremony at sunrise, which was a wonderful idea. We got there early to get our "lantern" pictures and get set up before sunrise. The lighting at that time of day is perfect for pictures and they turned out great.
Madysyn did a great job of incorporating our photo ideas with hers and captured all the laughter, silliness, happy tears and love of the day beautifully. She was so much fun to work with and made our day even more special. She even came along on a hike with us after the ceremony and took more photos. We highly recommend her and can't overstate how happy we are photos and the memories.

to talk to. I had an inside joke as part of our engagement shoot and Madysyn remembered this and incorporated it into our wedding photos 6 months later. This was not only incredibly thoughtful but truly showed us how much Madysyn cares about her work and clients. Her ability to get not only the formal shots, but also the candid shots of joy made us choose her and she does so beautifully. She was wonderful with our wedding guests and was quick to get every shot the moms requested. We could not recommend her enough!

We are ever so glad we picked her to shoot our wedding. She really is great! We will have wonderful memories to look at, for the rest of our lives! Thank you Maddy!!
