OUR TEAM

For almost a decade Maddy Williams Photography has been dedicated to capturing the magic of weddings and the exceptional people behind them. No love story is alike, which is why we strive to get to know you and your partner and align with your priorities. You want a photographer who is there for more than just pretty pictures - you're looking for a genuine connection with someone you trust to create an intentionally crafted experience. We've photographed over a 100 couples in love and still get excited when someone new sends us an email! The trust our couples place in us is not taken for granted, and we believe it’s a privilege to get to be a part of each wedding day.

Our photography focuses on joyful, fine art images full of color and genuine emotion. We use a combination of artistic direction, dynamic lighting, and attention to detail to capture timeless, vibrant portraits that balance the composed with the candid, creating photos of moments that endure.

OUR core values

01. love is love

We believe in serving all couples regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, skin color, or religion. Inclusion, respect, and kindness are top priorities and no matter your story we're honored to photograph your love.

02. being a wedding photographer is a privilege

It's not lost on us that you are inviting us to be a part of an incredibly significant day. We take that honor and responsibility very seriously and you can trust we're deeply honored, passionate and excited for every wedding we photograph. 

03. photos should be a reflection of you

Every love story is original and beautiful in its own way. Our job is to spend time getting to know you two as individuals and as a couple, and understanding how best to capture your love, your guests, and your wedding day.

Maddy founded her business in 2016, quickly falling in love with the world of weddings and soon found her weekends filled with capturing couples’ love and celebrations. She’s passionate about blending beautiful portraiture with candid moments that reflect each couple’s unique dynamic using a mix of timeless film and modern digital photography. With a background in interactive design and user experience, Maddy has a sharp eye for the nuances of each wedding day and is always striving to align with you and your partner’s priorities. You'll often hear her former couples remark on her calm, but enthusiastic demeanor and attention to detail.

Outside of photography, Maddy can often be found in the D.C. suburbs with her husband, Kyle, and her cat, Squirrel. She’s a Solidcore addict, who loves cooking up new dishes, sharing a bottle of red with friends, reading anything and everything, or planning her next international trip.
