ZOE MADELINE

I'll follow you wherever your wedding dreams take us. I find so much inspiration in experiencing new places. Whether I'm shooting a backyard wedding or an elopement abroad, my goal is to romanticize every detail.

My approach is prioritizing natural and nostalgic moments with a touch of editorial prompting and composition. When you look back on your images, I want the nostalgia to be OVERWHELMING.

Why I do what I do

What I love most about this work isn’t just the photography—it’s the people, the relationships, and the deeply personal stories I get to be part of. Being invited into someone’s wedding day is such an honor, and I don’t take that lightly. I love that I get to be creative in a way that’s emotionally connected, not just visually beautiful.

By the time your wedding day arrives, I’m not just showing up as a vendor—I’m showing up as someone who knows your story, who’s cheered you on through planning, and who genuinely cares about capturing the moments that matter to you. That trust and connection mean everything to me, and they shape the way I document your day.

This job is personal. It’s creative. It’s joyful. I get to witness and preserve the real, in-between moments alongside the big ones. Whether we’re in your childhood backyard or on a mountaintop across the world, I’ll be there with intention, making sure every little detail feels romanticized and remembered.

My approach blends natural, nostalgic storytelling with just a touch of editorial direction—enough to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and totally yourself. When you look back on your images, I want them to feel like a return to that moment, like opening a time capsule of everything you felt that day.
