Madison Willis Photography

Mia + Shawn ✨

Some evenings remind me why I fell in love with this job.

Getting to photograph my childhood best friend’s engagement beneath the golden glow at Afton Villa Gardens was one of those moments. It’s a privilege to document love stories every weekend, but it’s especially bittersweet when I get to reconnect with the people who helped shape my own life story.

The sweetest part, though, is when the photos don’t just look beautiful—they feel like them. The quiet glances, the laughter, the way they naturally find each other… the kind of love that doesn’t need to be posed because it’s already written all over them.

So grateful that this little dream of mine allows me to preserve moments like these—not just for my clients, but for the people I love. 🤍✨

Here, there, and everywhere moments from the Christman wedding on 35mm film. It’s magic! Some on Canon Elan + 50 1.8 and my trusted Pentax EZ point and shoot! Mix of Gold 200 + Portra 400 💃🏼🎞️

The Christmans special day couldn’t have been more beautiful! Love love all the pink!! 💓💗

The prettiest bubble send off to a perfect wedding day 🫧

The cutest ways to incorporate your fur babies into your wedding day 🤍

Sadie + Peyton. | I fear I am obsessed! These two lovebirds were such a joy to stroll Afton with and kept it so fun! Literally 5 minutes before the session a horrible storm rolled in and missed us by inches. WOO! The glowy sun finally showed herself and wowza! 🫶

The Randalls | There is something profoundly beautiful about witnessing a Catholic wedding ceremony. Every prayer, every reading, every vow speaks to the belief that marriage is more than a promise—it’s a sacred covenant. As someone entrusted to quietly document these moments, I’m always humbled by the reverence, tradition, and unwavering faith that surrounds the beginning of a marriage. What an honor it is to preserve something so deeply meaningful. 🤍

Black and white has a way of stripping away every distraction, leaving only the emotion, the elegance, and the story of a bride relishing the moment she’s longed for. Let this be your sign to do bridals 🤍

Demmi + Bryan opted for an intimate elopement surrounded by family before their France wedding. I had the pleasure of strolling Gretna with them and even snuck into the bar they frequented when first dating. A toast to forever to bring it full circle. LOVE THAT! 💜💙💗

The Lee wedding caught on 35mm film. My favorite thing to do is to pass off a point and shoot camera to a wedding party member for unexpected goodness!

Now offering a mix of 35mm and 120 medium format film into weddings and sessions for a special limited time add on price! Typically up to 4 rolls will be used, shipped, developed, scanned, lightly edited, and uploaded into your final gallery. For sessions, I typically will use 2 rolls of medium format alongside digital. 🎞️
