It started with a camera as a kid, and hopefully ends in me getting to document your love story.
I believe in the small moments in life being the most impactful. The way the sunlight hits your coffee on a slow Saturday morning with your love. The way the candles flicker as you share a night with close friends over cheap bread.
Life is too short, and I believe in telling stories with my photos, not just focusing on a shot list of photos found on google.
a closer to 30 than 20 something who is just trying to figure out what the fuck life is. i'm here for the late nights, patio hangs, and petting cute dogs when ur a lil baked.
i'm madi
I want to capture the genuine moments. No BS.
Your love story isn’t cookie cutter. your photos shouldn’t be either.
If you’re shooting with me be prepared to hear a few "your mom jokes", take your shoes off because it's cozier, connect with your partner, while I capture the shit that makes you, you.
Each couple gets a unique experience with ME, because no two couple functions the same, has the same inside jokes, or spends their Saturday mornings the same.
That's dope, because I'm not going to force things during this process. Period.
Do you crave a day that feels different than everything you've been told you have to experience?
"You could not pick a better photographer to capture special moments like the Jeno Collective does. They are super down to earth people who want to help capture the connection between a couple. My fiancé and I had the absolute best time with Madi while she took our engagement pictures and they turned out SO GOOD!!! We are so overjoyed with how our sneak peek pictures turned out and cannot wait to see the rest!! The way the pictures captured the connection between my fiancé and I is just way too priceless and we are so excited for The Jeno Collective to take our wedding pictures as well!"

"I don't even know where to begin with Madi and Tristan. We first approached Madi in 2017 and she and Tristan have been a friends ever since. COVID changed the way our wedding looked this year. Our two hundred person wedding day turned into a small intimate ceremony with our parents and siblings, yet Madi was able to make our day magical. She found a beautiful spot for our first look, and even took time to visit my grandparents and capture moments with them, socially distanced at their home, because they were not able to come to the ceremony. The photographs she took of us are moments we will cherish forever. She has the unique ability to make strangers feel like friends, and create a space that melts away any nervousness as she captures small moments in people's lives. We cannot wait to continue working with Madi and Tristan in the future. They are our people!"

"where Madi shines is with the at-the-moment captures. Every time I look at the candid photos from getting ready, through the ceremony, and into the night, I am in awe."
“Oh man... where do I start? We used Jeno Collective for our wedding and I plan to use her again and again for our professional photography needs... Madi is INCREDIBLE, both as a person and as a professional. She not only wanted to really get to know us, but she did a great job of doing it. Through thoughtful communication (both over the phone, via text, and through the pre-wedding survey), she knew what we wanted picture wise, and found a way to capture, genuinely, who we are and what our love is. We did a few portrait style photos with both families after the reception-- and absolutely could've done more if we'd wanted to!-- and they're stunning, but where Madi shines is with the at-the-moment captures. Every time I look at the candid photos from getting ready, through the ceremony, and into the night, I am in awe. Thank you, Madi, for being so incredible to work with and for capturing everything in the most amazing way possible."

Whether you're eloping or just capturing a beautiful moment in your lives, your experience deserves to be uniquely documented. I'll work to create a package that is as unique as your story. From whole day coverage, a personalized album, or a multiple day adventure, I will create the best package to fit your needs. That's a promise.
