Sweet M Photography

  • Serves Big River, CA

Hey there! I'm Madison- a seasoned elopement and micro wedding photographer based in sunny Southern California. Since 2017, I've been on a mission to capture life's most precious moments through my lens. My photography style? Think sweet, golden, and bright – a reflection of the radiant energy of California living.

From our very first interaction with Sweet M Photography, we were impressed by her friendly, communicative, and detailed approach. I loved the different elopement packages she offered which made it really easy to pick the best fit for our day. Madison is incredibly knowledgeable, and her work is truly impressive. As a couple who's not used to being in front of the camera, she did an amazing job coaching us through different shots and helping us feel relaxed and natural. Honestly we would have been happy with 1 or 2 great photos, but with Madison they were all great. She also had them turned around to us in a week which was so nice to be able to see them while on our honeymoon. Can't recommend enough!

Hi!! I'm Maria, photographer, mom, wife, and nacho lover. Not listed in any particular order lol Once I had my first born, I realized going back to work at CBS was not what I wanted with 12 hour workdays. I took photography classes and decided to build my own business myself. I have been photographing weddings for the last 6 years and enjoy celebrating this amazing day with all my clients. Cheesy as it may sound, I'm an absolute romantic and I relish in witnessing the love, words said, and the joy found at every wedding.

My style is mix of photojournalist, traditional, and an ever evolving creativity for your bridal portraits, to produce images that are beautiful, timeless, and artistic. I love to mix in a little black and white, too.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am poor and having a covid wedding we already had reduced the number of people, the budget, and the ambition. Finding a photographer who does great work while being affordable and being willing to work such a small venue was difficult but Dean was exactly what we were looking for. I don't want to say all the things he did for us that were unnecessarily generous because it would create outrageous expectations for what's normal, just take my word for it that he went above and beyond. I'm sure that he will do the same for your wedding even without covid conditions.

Lauren Gdowski (she/her/hers) is a bright and true-to-life wedding photographer for the couples who want a worry-free day! After months of rigorous planning, you'll finally be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy your wedding day. The culmination of your hard work doesn't last long, so taking in those fleeting moments should be your top priority. That's where I come in... I'll guide you through a stress-free day, capturing fleeting moments so you get to relive them time and time again.

Lauren was absolutely amazing, she made my wedding so easy to do and so beautiful when they were done. I had my original photographer stop communicating with me, so I found Lauren late into my wedding planning and I was already very stressed out. But she eased my nerves and made it such an easy process to figure out what photos I wanted done. She was always quick to respond when I had a question about the photos, and she was so helpful with her knowledge of weddings in general. I have attached some of my photos to this review because I honestly can not praise her enough. She does incredible work and is a wonderful person!

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Jenn and Pawel Photography were the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we booked them, their communication was easy, friendly and professional. They felt like part of the family, working seamlessly with everyone to capture all the special moments. Jenn and Pawel have an amazing artistic eye, turning every setting into a work of art. They brought wonderful ideas, were never bossy, and just got the job done with enthusiasm. We couldn't be happier with the incredible photos that beautifully preserve the joy of our wedding day. Hands down, Jenn and Pawel are the best photographer team around!

We LOVE our engagement and wedding photos so so so much. There are so many amazing photos to choose from it makes it hard to post and print…. so I end up spamming IG and FB a lot lol. Ashley was great to work with and really made us feel so relaxed on our wedding day. We were nervous for the engagement session but it was a lot of fun and the end results came out so amazing that we had so much trust in her the day of the wedding. She got amazing photos of the scenery and of us both times. She was available for all my call requests the weeks leading up to the wedding and helped me plan the timeline so that everything flowed and worked really well. We ended up finishing our couple, bridal party, and family photos so quickly. It was such a great experience. Its been a few months since the engagement session and a couple months since the wedding and I still look at all the pics so often! Thank you Ashley!!!!!!

I'm a follower of Jesus, adventure lover, wife to Josiah (my husband of four years, personal chef, and favorite weirdo), and dog mom to Solo (the sweetest chihuahua you'll ever meet). When I'm not working, you'll find me with a friend at a coffee shop or curled up at home with a good book or a show; most likely a rom com. I'm a big fan of morning light, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate anything. My favorite travel destination is the Oregon coast and my perfect day would consist of the beach, hiking, good food, and close friends.

Annie captured both our engagement photos and our wedding day and I would chose her over and over again in a heartbeat. Not only is she such a kind, genuine person, her photography talent speaks for itself in her photos. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Annie made herself available to assist in creating a timeline for the day and offering practical suggestions that I never would have thought of. Her experience in wedding days is a tremendous asset in itself! The day of our wedding Annie was a chauffeur for me to our first look, a calm during the whirlwind storm of a wedding day, a giver of several laughs and the person who remembered to grab the rings when leaving for the church. I am so grateful for Annie and her ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera and I admire the passion and dedication she has towards her clients. I am certain no one would ever regret booking with Annie to capture their special day.

Hi, my name is Alexandra Marie and I LOVE capturing love and freezing your memory forever. Getting to know you guys and hearing how you met is one of my favorite things ever. I understand the importance of preserving your memories and making them last a lifetime.

We hired Alexandra and her Sister Michele for a wedding their package came with a complimentary engagement session. We met Alexandra for the first time. Our first impression is as soon as she started talking she made us feel at ease. She took charge of the session, posing and directing us in many ways. My husband isn't the type to want to do photos ever and she had him smiling the entire time. By the end of our engagement session, it felt like we had known her for years. Fast forward to our wedding day, everything was going wrong. When Alexandra arrives she notices my face and right away goes and takes charge. She directed all the vendors to where they needed to be she made sure no one bugged me as I was getting ready. The entire night they were capturing everything without being asked. they made sure that we had pictures with almost every single guest. they took almost 4000 photos and provided them all to use edited within 3 months. They didn't charge us extra most of my friends were surprised when I shared that with them as most photographers charge extra after so many edits. I highly recommend them both they make it so easy to talk to and the booking process was really easy. I am forever grateful I had them capture our day. Gave us so many memories to look back on

From beginning to end, Elizabeth was not only working as our photographer but was also making sure we developed a friendship to further build trust that we were in amazing hands. She traveled all the way from California to Orlando for our wedding and even went above and beyond her "behind the lens" duty to help with other areas of our wedding day! Honestly, long story short, words cannot describe how grateful we were (still are) that we chose Elizabeth for our wedding day. It was seriously the best day ever and she captured everything so perfectly; now, we'll have it all beautifully captured forever.
