HI, I'm Maddie (AKa MADZ).

My philosophy is to turn your moments into memories: I’ll walk alongside you as you experience all the emotions and depth of your moments, while also capturing YOU authentically.

Your Kansas City Wedding Photographer

Where it all began...

Falling in Love with Photography

I first got into photography out of my deep love for people and uniquely capturing their stories. I’ve always known that I want to have something in my life that allows me to be creative, meet new people, and celebrate fun seasons. I have found this and SO much more with my clients. I continue to pursue photography because of YOU. Because of your enthusiasm, kindness, and genuine joy. Because of YOU, I get to call professional celebrating my job, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

a little love

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Maddie from Photos by Madz for both our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results.

From the moment we met her, Maddie was incredibly warm, kind, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the most beautiful, candid moments truly set her apart."

More About me

I love Jesus, all types of drinks, and hanging out with my people. It’s not hard to catch me cuddled up on my couch with a great show on the TV. I am a foodie and I love to travel, especially to the beach. I love making people feel welcomed and cared for. 

My friends tell me I am boujee, but I like to say that I am boujee on a budget. 

I hate cooking, but I am a foodie. I just would rather have someone else cook for me.

I am here to love you, care for you, serve you, and celebrate you. Whether we’re spending one of the biggest days of your life together, or just a quick 15-minute sunset, you’ll become MY PEOPLE.

And I’ll make sure you experience this in everything we do together.
