I Love Weddings
Since I was a little girl, I’ve been obsessed with weddings. I grew up watching 27 Dresses and Barbie movies, dreaming about the dresses, flowers, and all the little details that make a wedding feel so special. My mom was also a photographer, so I grew up tagging along to engagement sessions and weddings long before I ever imagined I’d be doing this myself.
There are so many things I love about wedding days, but watching the groom see his bride for the first time will probably always be at the top of my list. And then there are the details—the shoes, the flowers, the invitations, the rings, the little things you spent months choosing. I genuinely love getting to create something different with them every time. I never want to photograph the same flat lay or recreate the same idea over and over. I want to look at what you brought and find a creative way to make it feel like you.
But honestly, I love being there for all of it. I’ll steam your veil, fluff your dress, fix your train, help keep things moving, and do whatever I can to make your day a little easier. I want to be someone you can count on from the moment we start planning until the moment I send your gallery your way.
And somewhere in between all of that, I’ll be there with my camera—capturing the moments you’ll want to remember.
The Bride Box
As part of every wedding booking, I include a special Bride Box—a keepsake inspired by the box I created for my husband when I was a kid. I would set aside and save little things I wanted to share with him one day when we got married.
Years later, I wanted to create something similar for my couples: a box filled with memories and keepsakes from your wedding day, so you can hold onto the little pieces of it for years to come.
I’ve always loved the way the smallest things can hold so much meaning. Each Bride Box is thoughtfully handcrafted with your story in mind and filled with meaningful keepsakes chosen especially for you.
A little collection of your wedding day, waiting for you at the end of the celebration—and something you can return to long after the flowers have faded and the day has become a memory.
P.S. 27 Dresses is still one of my favorite wedding movies. I used to watch it all the time as a kid, and the groom’s reaction when he sees his bride walk down the aisle is still one of my favorite parts of any wedding. 🥹

"She Goes Above and Beyond"
"Madeline Jacobus Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Madeline’s communication was timely, kind, and respectful. Her photography skills are truly brilliant—the final images were high quality and had an editorial look that we loved.
Madeline was early to her call time and went above and beyond, not only in her photography duties but also by stepping in to help wherever she saw someone needed it. She is so thoughtful and generous, and really goes the extra mile for her clients.
We feel so lucky to have had Madeline capture our special day, and you will not regret hiring her for your wedding—she’s amazing!"
