our story

We’re a husband and wife team who believe wedding photography should feel as natural as the love you share. Maddie brings the eye for elegant detail and tender emotion, while Jared notices the in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening. Together, we capture both sides of the story—two perspectives, one timeless gallery.

“Maddie and Jared have been part of the most important moments of my life so far and I truly wouldn't have it any other way.
I've only met them through pictures but they really feel like friends l've known forever! The pictures are more perfect than I could have imagined and they are both the biggest hype people behind the camera.”

“The photos turned out absolutely beautiful to say the least, and my wife looked stunning in every shot. They captured every moment perfectly, and they have a real gift for effortlessly making people look their best. The whole process was simple from start to finish, and we will be recommending them to everyone we know.”

“We couldn’t have asked for better wedding photographers than Maddie & Jared! From our first message, they made everything so easy via quick replies and clear communication. On the wedding day, they felt like friends/family attending, and everyone there was comfortable around them.

We’d be honored to capture every laugh, every tear, and every sacred in-between, so you can relive it for generations.
