Hi I'm Madi

Let me show you how stunning you are

I'm a Portland-based elopement photographer addicted to running from winter and one-way plane tickets. I'm a laid-back plant lover and dog enthusiast. I love traveling and the eye-opening, vulnerable sense of awe we get from new experiences. I cherish the unique and intricate ways in which we love each other, and ourselves.

I want to make your dream elopement/wedding a reality. 

I've invested my life into the study of people. From a university degree in Anthropology to people watching on beaches in Bali. I love learning what makes someone tick, what makes them feel most alive, what's shaped them into who they are today. It's this observant nature that makes me great at my job. Reach out and let’s create something unforgettable together.

Having photos that document the trajectory of your life is so much more important than social medial leads us to believe. I think that through the curiosity of our past selves, we best learn how to embrace our present and begin to advocate for our future.

My life is rich with nostalgia. My mind is overgrown with daydreams. I’m the most cliche sentimental cancer baby and it’s taken me many moons to begin to see that as one of my strengths. At any moment my life could (and still can) have switched directions so drastically that I wouldn’t even recognize that person. And yet, miraculously, here I am doing my best to love and nurture this version of myself. So I look back on these baby pictures of myself, my mother’s tender handwriting scribbled on the back, and wonder at all the life I’ve lived since then, and all the life that’s yet to come.
