Here's a glimpse into my life
Hi, I'm Madi
YOUR SMOKY MOUNTAIN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN EAST TENNESSEE SPECIALIZING IN COUPLES, ELOPEMENTS, INTIMATE WEDDINGS, AND FAMILIES.
AND I BELIEVE YOUR LOVE STORY DESERVES TO BE TOLD IN A WAY THAT FEELS TRUE TO WHO YOU ARE
Whether we're planning your elopement day, an adventure for your couples session, or sewing together the details of your dream wedding, I'm here to support you through it all. My goal is to create images that feel like you- and that starts with crafting an experience that is a an authentic reflection of you and your relationship!
WHEN I'M NOT PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS YOU CAN FIND ME...
When I'm not photographing weddings, editing galleries, or crafting an experience for your session with you- you can find me with the wind in my hair and sun on my face- remembering the WHY behind all of this! I've always had a love affair with nature... the beauty, freedom, and adventure always lure me in and I'm so grateful to have found a way to intertwine my passion for telling love stories with my passion for connecting to the outdoors and seeking adventure.
KNOXVILLE IS WHERE I CALL HOME
BUT THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS ARE WHERE MY SOUL COMES ALIVE.
I've always been a bit of a nomad. I've lived in 5 different cities since I've turned 18, but I believe my nomadic soul is ready to put down some roots in East Tennessee. Every time I drive into these mountains my heart flutters with excitement for the adventure that awaits for the day.
YOU COULD SAY I'M A SUCKER FOR
PUPPY DOG EYES & SLOPPY KISSES
I have two Bluetick Hounds named Sonny & Rae and they have me wrapped around their finger. I'm so motivated to give them the best life possible so if you really want to know why I hustle so hard? It's to give these two pups the life they deserve!
I BELIEVE IN CREATING YOUR OWN TRADITIONS.
My husband and I eloped surrounded by the Smoky Mountains in the Spring of 2021. Our elopement day was filled with tears, laughter, and most importantly- adventure. We 'broke the rules' and did our wedding day- our way! We created new traditions, like watching the video messages our loved ones made for us, sharing burgers and milkshakes at the diner we went to after we said our vows at sunset, and staying up all night playing board games in a cabin.
"DARLING YOU'VE GOT TOO MUCH SOUL
TO BE LOVED BY SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN
P A S S I O N A T E"
You deserve more than just a wedding photographer. You deserve someone who will capture your day with passion and intention.
My Promise to You
AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
I know how important these memories are to you.
And I know how hard it is to trust the person behind the camera. So I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I am dedicated to capturing your memories in such a way that brings all of the emotions flooding back each time your look at your images.
I've dedicated years to perfecting the craft of photography and making sure that you have the best experience documenting your special moments with me.
It’s so important for you to trust your photographer because you deserve to be fully present during the big moments and the small. I want you to focus on being present, taking it all in, and being surrounded by love while I take care of everything else.
I’ll remind you take it all in. I’ll help you find your peace if you feel overwhelmed. I’ll bring out the real smiles and laughs by figuring out what brings those out in you long before you even step in front of my camera.
The moments pass by quickly and photography is a way to preserve those moments in time. And looking back on your photos will become a sacred tradition as you relive those cherished memories over and over again.
So my friend, I promise to be dedicated to giving you the best experience. I promise to tell your story in a way that captures all of your emotions. And I promise to create images that feel like you.

We can't think of enough great things to say about Madi! She was super personable, engaging, and came with a variety of picture ideas while being able to incorporate our ideas too. I love how natural these turned out as well as her ability to capture our sweet boy's big personality! Thank you so much for taking these pictures we will cherish forever! Looking forward to booking again in the future!

I wholeheartedly recommend inviting Madi to take photos for you and whatever occasion you are celebrating! I contacted her on short notice and she was prompt, personable, and attentive. My family is the worst about capturing our time together. We will cherish these photos for years to come. If you are in the Smoky Mountain area, look no further for a great photographer!
