About Maddie Van

Madison Van Wylen

Professional Wedding Photographer

Hi there! My name is Madison and I am a wedding photographer based in the beautiful seaside town of Newport, Rhode Island. Although I call Newport home, I provide my services to couples throughout the greater New England area and am always willing to travel worldwide for my clients' special days. I have always been passionate about capturing life's most special moments through my camera lens, and there's nothing quite like the magic of a wedding day. I consider it an honor and privilege to document the love story of each unique couple I work with.

I strive to capture the emotion and beauty of each moment in a natural, unobtrusive way, allowing couples to fully enjoy their day without feeling like they're constantly being posed or directed. When you hire me as your wedding photographer, you can trust that I will be there to capture all the big moments and small details that make your day special. I would be honored to be a part of your wedding day and to help you tell your love story through my photography. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation. I can't wait to hear from you!

    Madison was an incredible photographer for our wedding day at Nicollet Island Pavilion! She was efficient, fun, laid-back, and helped us feel comfortable super quickly which made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is truly top-tier - she has an incredible vision and unique style that captured all the special moments of our wedding. She was so energetic and encouraging, which helped us feel less stiff and more natural in front of the camera (which does not come easily to us!). Madison also came prepared with our Pinterest board and shot list, ensuring she got all the specific pictures we wanted while adding her own spin on them. Her editing of the wedding shots were better than I could have imagined - I specifically loved the blurry shots that were mixed in. We cannot recommend Madison enough - she was an integral part of making our wedding day so special and memorable.

    Madison photographed our wedding and was the best start to finish! From the first meet and greet that she set up with us, she made us feel very comfortable and had great suggestions for how to make the big day run as smoothly as possible. She is the perfect combination of laid back and professional, capturing the most incredible snapshots of our wedding day while keeping the experience fun and relaxed. We can't recommend her enough!

    Madison was hands down our favorite vendor to work with! She was so responsive and happy to answer all of our questions leading up to the big day even about things we weren’t sure were “normal.” She even traveled to a special location for our engagement shoot, which meant so much to us. On the wedding day, she was an absolute calming presence in the middle of all the chaos. She adjusted seamlessly as the schedule shifted and kept everything moving without any stress. We had never taken professional photos before, but she was so patient and coached us through poses in a way that felt natural and easy. Her style captured the day perfectly. It was authentic, beautiful, and sprinkled with just the right amount of posed shots. We are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. We highly recommend working with her, you will not be disappointed!

    We truly can’t say enough about Maddie and the incredible experience we had working with her. From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, creative, and deeply passionate she is about photography. Maddie went above and beyond—traveling from Rhode Island to Upstate New York for our wedding, and photographing us beforehand in Rhode Island, where she brought us to stunning, thoughtfully chosen locations. On our wedding day, Maddie captured everything with an artistic, intuitive eye. She noticed and preserved the quiet, meaningful details of our farm venue—those small, fleeting moments we would have missed in the rush of the day. Because of her, we now have timeless images that bring us right back to the feeling of being there. One of our absolute favorite memories (and the photos everyone raves about) is the sunset session in a wide open field while our guest we're eating their dinner. With the soft dreamlike tones—she created pure magic, effortlessly. Maddie just knew what to capture and how to tell our story without needing a word of direction. We are endlessly grateful for Maddie’s talent, care, and heart. Her photos are a gift we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
