oh hey!
I’m Mado, aka Madeleine, aka your Colorado wedding, elopement, and couple photographer. I’m also a lizard and plant fanatic, part time aspiring miniature zoo keeper, & full time observer of human interactions. I am a pro at making camera shyness disappear while naturally capturing those magical emotions that connect us human beings. Believe it or not, I have been photographing people professionally for half of my life (15 years!) and I truly think it’s what I was born to do. I live for those candid moments, making your guests smile, pumping you up with validation, befriending your dog, and creating art out of your memories.
This is a proud LGBTQ+ owned business & I celebrate love in ALL of its beautiful forms. Your comfort to express yourselves is a treasured priority.
“If you are looking for a cool, hip, down-to-earth photographer who will not only make you feel insanely comfortable in her presence but also make you want to be her best friend... Mado is for you.
Her pictures are crisp and clean. I love the way she incorporates natural surroundings into the photo to help capture our personality. Mado helped bring out our natural laughs, and personal stories, and made sure we felt comfortable and safe 100% of the time. ”

getting married in Colorado & beyond
01. Maybe you sorted through hundreds of tinder swipes, or perhaps you are are high school sweethearts. However you met your person, now it’s time to raise a toast to your love story! Whether your celebration looks like an intimate elopement or an absolute rager of a wedding, I want to get to know YOU and what sets your heart on fire when you picture your day. Let’s set up a Zoom or phone consultation to get to know each other and your vision.
02. Engagement photos are the cutest thing ever and the perfect chance to let me show you how I can make your camera shyness *POOF* vanish! Click here for more information about the gorgeous Colorado engagement session experience. & Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered if you’re worried about what to do with your hands in photos.
03. I’m kind of like an unofficial wedding planner and miniature support group for my couples. I am here to help with anything and everything you need, with a side of extreme organization. I’ll be there for vendor suggestions, planning out your family photo groupings, giving feedback about what colors to wear, and taking care of all of those important details. I am very hands on with timeline assistance so the lighting is perfect and you never feel rushed. All you have to focus on is soaking up those good wedding vibes.
04. You can rest easy that you’re getting a seasoned professional for one of the most important days of your life, and someone who can handle whatever life throws at us (lighting, weather, a new venue, etc.) I have over a decade of experience photographing weddings, and am transparent about what to expect from our time together. You’re not only getting a pro wedding photographer, but a friend who cares (a lot) about making you feel awesome while delivering the highest quality of art.
“Madeleine is so talented and does truly amazing work! She is also great at making you feel comfortable and helping capture the best moments (which is great for those of us that might not be natural at posing!) Super grateful for how beautifully our photos turned out and could not recommend Madeleine enough. She is always super flexible, professional, kind and provides great suggestions—from photo locations to helping you pick the right colors to wear. She is someone you can truly trust to capture your special moments!”
