let's connect

My approach is fueled by genuine emotions and sweet nostalgia of the fleeting moments in our lives. Movement, connection, and storytelling are my sources of inspiration. Effortless, genuine, documentary, nostalgic, and true to color are a few words that I like to use to describe my work. I find purpose in creating timeless imagery with a splash of creativity, and lean into the real moments that happen during your wedding or engagement shoot to tell your story. 

I am here for you throughout our entire time together. When working with me, you can expect an easy going yet professional vendor to create your dream Madison wedding day. You can look forward to helpful emails, customized guides, and insightful questionnaires that will guide you every step of the way so you can feel confident leading up to your session or wedding day. Vendor recommendations, outfit inspiration, wedding timeline assistance, and other useful tips and tricks are included in order to help you make your day the best day ever. Planning a Wisconsin wedding is a big deal, and I’m honored to support you whenever needed.

my approach is

02

My core belief is that your wedding day is not about the photos; the photos are about your wedding day.

This experience starts with you—your story, your connection, and what matters most to you right now. Imagine looking back in years to come: What emotions do you want to feel when you see these photos? What memories do you want to relive?

This is a big investment, and it should feel like a celebration, not another task to check off a list. You’re in love in beautiful Madison, WI, and that’s something worth savoring. My role is to create a space where you can just be yourselves, with no pressure to perform. You’ll be free to focus on each other, your people, and the real moments that naturally unfold.

At its core, this experience is about honoring the beauty of humanity—your connection, emotions, and all the unplanned moments that make the day uniquely yours. It’s about capturing your story with honesty and authenticity, prioritizing presence over perfection, and creating lasting memories that are genuine, not staged. In the end, you’ll have photos that reflect the heart of your day—the real moments, connections, and memories that make your story uniquely yours.

capturing the essence of nostalgia

LOVE ON FILM

 06

There’s something deeply timeless about film. Each frame holds a unique warmth and depth that digital simply can’t replicate—a blend of spontaneity and soul that feels like a keepsake. My love for analog photography isn’t just about the grain or subtle imperfections; it’s about the nostalgia it evokes and the intentionality it brings to capturing your moments. Each click of the shutter on film creates an unrepeatable piece of art, beautifully preserving your story in a way that feels rooted in memory and meaning.

ADDITIONAL OffErings  for Madison and Beyond

Celebrate however you want to--just you and your love. Whether your dream is to exchange vows on a mountaintop, have an intimate backyard ceremony with your closest friends and family, or a spontaneous city hall elopement. I'll be here to document and encourage all your adventures.

CLIENT Testimonials

"We could not be more in love with our wedding photos. We both noted that taking pictures was effortless, we never got tired of being in front of the camera because Mariah made the experience as comfortable, genuine, free-flowing, and "in-the-moment" as possible. Our time doing couples photos was one of our favorite parts of wedding day because we just got to enjoy the little moments between the two of us while Mariah captured that authenticity, emotion, and love between us. We feel those same emotions coming through as we look at our wedding photography, which is so special to us - and a true testament to the talent, skill, and beauty of Mariah's work!"

She checked in frequently and was so easy to communicate with. She goes above and beyond for her people. As for our wedding day, we owe how seamless the day went to her. She brought so much calmness and excitement at the same time. She kept everything moving the way it should but didn’t make it feel forced. She is beyond kind and such a joy to be around. Our photos were everything and more that we could have ever dreamed for. We believe she is beyond talented and would not have wanted anyone else to capture our day. Our photos are real and raw. They are filled with love and she was the one who was able to see those moments and capture them so naturally. She is beyond talented at what she does and she puts her whole heart into it. We love her so much and HIGHLY recommend her!"

You can tell she genuinely cares about each of her clients and their unique story-- and we weren't just another number to her. We are so incredibly happy with our wedding images and we will cherish them forever. Would 100% recommend Mariah to a friend and other brides. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again for any future photography needs."

- Mckenna + JOHN

"I have been trying to think of the right words to say thank you but I simply just cannot. These photos are so beautiful. We cried looking through them all over again. It’s absolutely incredible how you literally captured exactly how the day felt in still frames. As I have looked through these pictures with family and friends, every single time I find myself saying, “This is how it felt! You can just feel the day.” Which is EXACTLY what we wanted with our wedding photographer. You exceeded our expectations and we would not have wanted anyone else to have photographed our real wedding moments. I feel so emotional just writing this out because I didn’t know how much this would mean, but you truly gave us lifetime memories that allow us to relive the day exactly the way it was."

"Mariah gave us lifetime memories that allow us to relive the day exactly the way it was."
