"From the very first conversation to the final gallery delivery, working with Madelyn was an absolute dream. She is not only incredibly talented but also one of the most personable and genuine people you’ll ever meet. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small task on such an emotional day.
Madelyn’s timeliness and professionalism gave us so much peace of mind. She stayed organized, kept everything moving smoothly, and somehow managed to capture every important moment without ever making us feel rushed. You can truly see how passionate she is about what she does. She pours her heart into every shot and it shows in the final photos.
Beyond her skill, she brought such a fun, positive energy to our wedding day. Madelyn has felt more like a friend celebrating alongside us than just a vendor. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, reliable, passionate, and an absolute joy to be around, do yourself a favor and book her. You will be so grateful you did."

Choosing a photographer is about more than loving someone’s work. It is about finding someone who truly sees you and understands what matters most.
I document the honest moments, the quiet in between, and the feeling behind it all so your story can be remembered long after the day is over.
Whether you are celebrating close to home or across the globe, I am there as a calm presence, a guide, and someone you can trust to preserve it all with intention.

"Madelyn is hands down the absolute best! She agreed to travel across the world and shoot my wedding in Italy. Completely out of both of our comfort zones, she was an absolute pro. Not only is her work flawless, but her personality brings something so special to your occasion. No matter if it is engagement, wedding, boudoir- Madelyn is the best of the best. I've watched my wedding film over 100 times, I still cry every single one. The most precious moments of my life captured so beautifully, none of which would have been possible without Madelyn Shayne Photo & Film."

"We truly could not have chosen a better wedding photographer and videographer. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable and confident and that shows in every single photo. We received so many stunning images back, and each one captures the emotion and joy of the day perfectly.
What makes her even more special is that she hasn’t just photographed our wedding — she’s continued to capture so many phases of life for us since then. Every session feels natural, effortless, and meaningful. She has a true gift for storytelling through her lens, and we are beyond grateful to have her document our family’s memories. We will treasure these photos forever 🤍 I highly recommend booking Maddy for all things engagement, wedding and family sessions!"

"Maddy made our wedding day so incredibly special from the very beginning until the very end of the day. She is so in tune with what she does and told our love story perfectly through the pictures and videos she took. She is compassionate, always wants to make sure you are comfortable and happy, and has an eye for beauty. We would use her over and over again!"
