Whether you’re exchanging vows in your grandma’s backyard, by the lake that feels like home, or tucked away in a charming coastal European town, I’m here to document your day with soul and intention.
Based in Connecticut, serving couples across New England, New York + anywhere your love story leads. From the coast of Maine to the Catskill mountains and beyond - always chasing light + love.
My approach is rooted in artful storytelling, focusing on the raw, unposed, in-between moments. I shoot on both film and digital mediums, giving your gallery a warm + nostalgic feel that never goes out of style.
Offering curated collections designed to fit a range of celebrations - from intimate elopement adventures to full wedding weekend coverage. Each package can be customized to your unique day to ensure we capture your love story in its entirety. Second shooters, engagement sessions + film coverage can all be added on to any package.
I believe in presence over perfection. My best work comes to life when there’s freedom to create. When couples are open to wandering, getting a little silly, and letting the day unfold naturally. If you're excited to make something artful, honest, and full of life, we’re probably a perfect fit :)
Your story deserves to be told honestly, artfully, and with purpose.

love stories that light me up /
couples i’m best aligned with:
• want their wedding day to feel good, not just look good
• laugh easily, play often, and don’t take themselves too seriously
• care more about being present with their people than posing all day
• value real connection over perfection
• care about the details, but don’t sweat the small stuff
• love the nostalgia + slowness of film
"Her ability to create a safe, artful space made it feel like nothing was forced or posed. Just us, in our element, beautifully captured."
“From the moment we met Madi, we knew we were in the gentlest, most talented hands. Our wedding was small and intimate, and somehow Madi captured not only every meaningful moment, but all the little ones we didn’t even realize were happening. Just us, in our element, beautifully captured by her calm presence and thoughtful direction.”

"Her talent is beyond illustration and description with words, but rather is best translated through the feelings you embody when looking at her work."
“Madi is a gift to work with and a gem of a soul to know. She brings warmth and authenticity to the room she is in and with the lens she is holding. Her talent is beyond illustration and description with words, but rather is best translated through the feelings you embody when looking at her work. Her work is real, it is true to the people in the frame, it is natural, detailed,
purposeful, and filled with intention. Her heart is vividly poured into every occasion she is asked to be a part of and capture.”

"Madi has such a gift for capturing the real, genuine moments-- the laughter, the happy tears, the quiet in-betweens."
We are SO beyond grateful to have had Madi as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her, she was incredibly sweet, kind, and easy to be around-- exactly the kind of calming, positive presence you want on your wedding day. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and her warmth truly brought out the best in everyone.
And the photos? Absolutely stunning. Madi has such a gift for capturing the real, genuine moments-- the laughter, the happy tears, the quiet in-betweens. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again. Every single image is filled with such emotion and beauty, and we will treasure them forever.
We can't recommend Madi enough. She's not only insanely talented but also just a wonderful human to have by your side on one of the most important days of your life. Thank you, Madi, for everything!

"Madi’s talent speaks for itself, but it’s her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care that make her truly exceptional."
We truly cannot say enough good things about Madi. From the moment we met her, she was thoughtful, warm, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Throughout our wedding weekend, she was not just a photographer, but a calming and supportive presence—an absolute joy to have around.
Her photos are beyond beautiful. She managed to capture not only the big moments, but the quiet, meaningful ones too—glances, laughter, and emotions we didn’t even realize she was witnessing. One of the most special gifts she gave us was capturing some incredibly tender moments between my father and aunt, who has since passed. Those images are now priceless to us, and we will treasure them forever.
Madi’s talent speaks for itself, but it’s her kindness, professionalism, and genuine care that make her truly exceptional. We are endlessly grateful for her and would recommend her with all our hearts.

how long have you been shooting weddings?
12 years! I went to college for photography, graduated in 2013 and shortly after opened Madison Abbey and settled into my own style. I’ve since photographed hundreds of weddings and wouldn’t change it for the world.
