Hey there! I'm Madison- a seasoned elopement and micro wedding photographer based in sunny Southern California.

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!

Not only does she create beautiful images, but she also has a beautiful soul and fun personality. I have always felt encouraged when she second shoots for me and helps me through a long wedding day and I equally enjoy working with her as her second shooter and watching her create her magic.

Working with Bri was such a pleasure! For starters, we planned our wedding in two months, and she worked us into her schedule (for a destination wedding at that). She reached out, was very engaging, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Leading up to both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, she arrived hours early and spent time scouting out the best locations. For our engagement photos, she found the most stunning mountain location and trekked with us through the snow to capture the stunning photos! For our wedding, we told her what we were envisioning with the scenery and people, and she made it happen in a beautiful way! She was organized and managed time well in taking the photos. On our wedding day, she arrived early and captured the day perfectly. She is such a joy to have around, brightening the room and making it easy to rejoice in the day. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out stunning, we continue to receive compliments on them as people can't believe they are real. Would HIGHLY recommend Bri for any photos you would like!

(At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too!
