I serve women owned small businesses here at Madalyn Yates Creative. Together we create a strategic plan to bring heart & soul to your brand through storytelling photos & beyond.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hanging out in my office, sipping on a latte at local coffee shops, baking something delicious & traveling the world.

I'M MADALYN!

There’s something sacred about a wedding day.

Not just the big moments — but the quiet ones: the sweet kiss on the cheek, the glimmer of a tear, the sunlight flickering across a bouquet. These are the moments I’ve always loved to document.

While my work as a brand photographer is what I’m best known for, I still quietly photograph a handful of weddings each year. I don’t promote it on social media. I don’t book out years in advance. But when the right couple comes along — one who values storytelling over spectacle, nostalgia over noise — I say yes. Welcome to wedding photography, reimagined.

My Approach

I photograph weddings using a hybrid approach — both film and digital. Film gives your images that timeless, grainy depth; digital brings speed and flexibility. Together, they tell the story of your day with heart and texture.

I specialize in intimate, intentional celebrations — weddings that feel true to the couple and their people. My style is candid, gentle, and quietly observant. I’m not one to orchestrate every moment — I’m there to witness, to preserve, and to hold space. Not to fret though – I also love wrangling your favorite people to capture special moments.

Why I Don’t Publicly Market Wedding Photography

This offering isn’t for everyone. And that’s the point.
I keep my wedding photography availability by referral only, working with couples who feel aligned with this slower, more meaningful approach.

If you’re reading this because someone sent you my name — welcome. I’d love to show you more.

Next Steps

If you’re planning an intimate wedding, elopement, or celebration that deserves to be documented with care, I invite you to reach out. I’ll happily send over a private portfolio and pricing details. I’m currently booking 1–2 weddings per season.

Thanks for being here — and for seeing beauty in the quiet.
