About

On WeddingWire since 2020

As a documentary-style photographer, I love to emphasize connection, texture, and natural emotion. Once upon a time I studied theater only to realize that my true passion was documentary photography. I have a profound love for weddings, being drawn most to the art of story telling while creating honest and original work. I strive to make my images fully represent my couples in an authentic, meaningful way. I'm an outgoing, bubbly lady who loves to crack a good dad joke or two while making sure you are always feeling excited and comfortable throughout the day.

From smaller, unconventional elopements to traditional full day celebrations, I'm here to capture everything from the big kiss to the secret "I love you's" shared between you and your person.

Stunning & Fun

My husband and I could write pages and pages about how beautiful the photos that Madi takes are. Her eye for detail, soft direction on the best angles and poses, and knack for capturing pure emotion are unmet, and come across beautifully in her photos. The photos below are a small taste of the amazing work that Madi creates - we still can’t stop staring at our engagement and wedding photos! Madi’s STUNNING work is reason enough to hire her for your wedding, but her personality and professionalism make Madi a MUST for your wedding day! From our first meeting on Zoom, we meshed so well with Madi’s humor and kindness, and appreciated her organization and dedication to her craft. At our engagement photo session she made us feel at ease in front of the camera, and that absolutely shone through in the pictures. Throughout the planning process, Madi was quick to answer all of our questions, and was such a help using her experience in planning our schedule for the day. On the wedding day, we had numerous guests and family members compliment how well Madi directed our guests for group photos, and how she took the most beautiful shots. We had so much FUN with Madi on our wedding day, we were sad when she (and her wonderful second shooter, Courtney) had to leave! That easiness and lightness shone through on our wedding photos, all thanks to the wonderful and talented Madi Ellis!

Best photographer out there!

There are no words to describe the genuine energy that Madi emits. From our initial encounter meeting, we knew we had found the BEST photographer. She captured such special moments in our photos. We opted for a second photographer and on the day of our wedding, we met Kate. She complimented Madi perfectly and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Madi is an amazing human being and we are grateful to have stumbled upon her. Hire her. You will NOT be dissatisfied. I literally wish we were best friends. :)
