Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin... first, Heather was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to fit us in with probably the shortest notice ever. She was also able to work with our budget. Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

Madison Wren Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Whitman, WV

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a wedding photographer based in West Virginia! I find happiness in my family, my church, warm summer light, capturing moments on film, sunrises and sunsets, and reminiscing on nostalgic moments. I have a passion for travel and am always happy to go somewhere new! I picked up my first camera in middle school (thanks, Grandpa) and never looked back. I began documenting my own life, as well as special moments for my friends & family, and I quickly fell in love with the gift of memories that photography provides.

I cannot recommend Maddie highly enough! From the first moments of our special day, her warm and calming presence immediately put us at ease. She was so kind and professional throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful portion of the day feel effortless and joyful. Her attention to detail and ability to capture genuine, heartfelt moments are truly unmatched. Every time I look back at my wedding photos, I’m transported to that magical day all over again. These photos are treasures I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful to Maddie for preserving these memories so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both talented and an absolute delight to work with, look no further! Congrats on your big day! I know Maddie will capture all the magic... you just go get married! ;)

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

Ahh, what can I say about my favorite photographer!!! I've already done 3 beautiful shoots with her, one photo more beautiful than the other and they always become my screensaver for everything, cell phone, computer, iPad!!! Her work is incredible, she's always super patient, helps with every pose... gives tips on what to do as it's very common for us to be shy in front of the camera.

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

One of the best decisions my now-husband and I made for our wedding was working with Maria for our photographs. Initially, I loved her photography style from her online galleries, and I liked that she had done a variety of styles and faiths of weddings, including a lot of Indian and multicultural weddings - which applied to us. We had a fantastic engagement shoot, and Maria was happy to walk all over the city with us and carry our things, all while getting to know us, telling stories, and teaching us how to get comfortable in front of the camera and what to do to get beautiful pictures that looked and felt natural, but that we would never have gotten without her guidance. She stayed in touch over the months until the wedding, and helped us figure out scheduling, talked through timing and plans so we could get the most photos in the most relaxed way, and then was there for our event the day before, and the wedding the following day. Every moment was great, she and her team are lovely to work with, and every photograph was truly stunning. We then got an incredible photo album and a flash drive. I would hire Maria again in a heartbeat. We absolutely recommend her!

What I will ask you to do is "Tell them three things you love most about them," and I will be there to capture all the laughs, tears, and giggles for you to have forever. I am here to help tell your story!

Leah, I have never had so many people compliment on how beautiful both the engagement and wedding pictures are!! We were so impressed with your talent and how comfortable you made us feel throughout the day. Your eye for photography amazes me, and we both feel so blessed that you were able to capture one of the most important days of our lives! We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives!!
