We booked Maddy for our Berkeley, CA wedding (she travels!) and couldn't be happier! My wife is…read moreparticualry picky when it comes to photos as an amateur photographer herself, and Maddy was highly adept at capturing both posed and candids in a way that really showed off our venue and our attendees in a lovely light.

I don't usually write reviews (positive or negative) but I feel compelled to share my experience…read morewith Maddy. While her websites are filled with 5-star ratings, my perspective differs. I hired her for both an engagement photoshoot and our wedding day. We loved the engagement shoot, but we were very disappointed with her performance and behavior on the wedding day. Before writing this review, I reached out to Maddy privately to discuss my concerns, as she requested that they be submitted in writing. Despite her promise of a one-business-day turnaround, I didn't hear back for two weeks. When I followed up, she stated that my feedback gave her anxiety and that she was avoiding reading it. Her eventual response included a lengthy list of excuses and defensiveness without a genuine apology. Moreover, her tone felt somewhat rude and dismissive, which only added to my disappointment. To summarize, Maddy arrived 45 minutes late to my wedding and did not take accountability for this, attributing it to traffic, getting lost, and trouble reaching the planner. I would have appreciated an apology, regardless of the circumstances, but I still have not received one. Maddy was aware that it was crucial for us to take all our group photos before our ceremony so we could enjoy our cocktail hour - sadly, her late arrival and the last-minute scramble to find suitable locations meant this couldn't happen. Upon her arrival, Maddy seemed visibly upset and maintained a negative attitude throughout the day, so much that others in my wedding party and some of my guests took notice. At one point, my planner asked her to extend her time by 45 minutes due to her late arrival, which seemed reasonable given that I had paid for a set number of hours. I later learned that she reacted poorly to this request and stormed off in tears, which I found unprofessional and unacceptable. When I asked her about this later, she denied crying but confirmed that she firmly told the planner she would not extend her time. Throughout the wedding day, there was little to no direction from Maddy regarding positioning and poses, which was a stark contrast to our engagement shoot. Additionally, I provided a detailed shot list ahead of time at her request; she chose not to use this, leading to several missed family photos I specifically wanted. Many of the images in my wedding gallery are unfocused or missed key moments, (i.e. our first dance dip only captures the back of my husband's head). There are also noticeable height differences in various group photos that could have been minimized with some positioning guidance. Overall, there are some photos that I do love and plan to frame, so I am grateful for that. Ultimately, I believe Maddy wasn't the right choice for our special day. I acknowledge her talent as a photographer--after all, that's why I hired her--but the level of unprofessionalism she displayed had a significant impact on what was supposed to be the most important day of my life. A wedding is inherently stressful, especially for the bride, and it's important to feel that your vendors are professional, engaged, and genuinely happy to be there. For the reasons stated above, I cannot recommend Maddy Godt photography to future brides and sincerely hope Maddy can learn from this experience in the future.

I came across her when I was expecting my daughter in 2020, I loved her style, communication & she was the most affordable photographer, also I didn't have to pay extra to print or post my photos ! So far she's done my Maternity, newborn, sunflower mini, fall mini, Valentine's Day mini AND a mommy & me session. She will be my go-to for engagement & wedding photos in the future. I've never had a bad photo from her even with a screaming newborn! Best part? SHE TRAVELS. Want photos in a different state ? She's your girl ! Thanks for everything over the last year & 1/2 Brey!!

Thankfully Brey was available and extremely helpful and assisted me through the whole booking process, it felt like I was working with a dear friend the whole time. I've never booked a professional photographer for an event before so I was bit nervous about the whole thing but she made me feel so comfortable and taken care of in the weeks prior and on the day. She arrived to the city hall location early and was ready to take photos right away, she caught great images of our small group of guests arriving, small moments here and there and wonderful portrait shots of both me, my husband and the whole group together at the ceremony, later at a local park and then at our small reception dinner. She didn't mind driving around the the city a bit to our 3 different locations and kept a positive and friendly attitude the whole time. The images she took of us as a couple are just amazing. We look so happy and in love, she made us feel so at ease the whole time. I can't wait to share the memories for years to come and with our friends and family who couldn't attend. She's very aware of the types of poses required for a great looking wedding album. I just received the images yesterday, earlier than expected and I'm just blown away by how good we all look! The hard part is picking which prints I want to put up on the wall. I can't imagine sharing our day with a better photographer, thanks Brey!

We met Stephanie when she was the photographer for the club volleyball team. I noticed right away…read morethat her style of capturing the shots was different than most. Loved that she put a great spin on the typical sport shots & her photos were wall-worthy. It lead us to have her not only be the photographer that is featured on my work's website (TOTALLY beats stock photos...added a personal & higher-end vibe to the site with just the right amount of artistic value) but now she is our family photographer as well! Not only is she super-creative, she is very easy to work with. She's not obnoxious in providing direction & has a good eye for what will work in a shot. Her stuff isn't overdone, but just right because she seems to be able to read her subjects well. And when you feel comfortable, the end-result is that much better.She seems to have a lot of repeat clients which definitely says something positive.

When I first met Ashley, I instantly knew she had to photograph our wedding. Her aura was…read moreincredible from the very beginning, and the photos absolutely did not disappoint. Before our engagement session, we were so nervous since we had never had professional photos taken before. Ashley's energy immediately made the entire experience feel fun, light, and comfortable. Any nervousness we had was completely gone within minutes. One of the most important things I wanted in a photographer was someone who pays close attention to even the smallest details, and Ashley DELIVERED. From gently pulling some hair forward, adjusting my dress just right, to perfectly positioning us for each shot, she went above and beyond anything I could have ever asked for. Another thing she is truly exceptional at is capturing couples authentically. She represented Austin and me so beautifully. Seeing our photos for the first time, seeing us from such a stunning and emotional perspective was incredibly heartwarming. The love she captured in the way Austin looks at me is something I honestly have no words for. Her packages are also amazing. We get two photographers, a complimentary engagement session, and an album at such a reasonable price. If you're reading this and feeling hesitant about spending a decent amount of money on photography, do it. You will not regret it. These photos will be with us forever, and I am beyond grateful we invested in them. If you want a photographer who leaves you with the only problem of not being able to choose a favorite photo, Ashley is 1000% your photographer. A million thanks, Ashley. I am so incredibly excited for our wedding and cannot wait to see your artwork again.

First off, Ashley was the MVP of our wedding day!!! To rewind, we originally met Ashley at a…read morewedding open house event where we took her up on her promotional engagement session, which also happened to be the first time we took professional photos as a couple. She instantly made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. In just 30 minutes, we got dozens of incredible photos that we were able to use all over our wedding website, save the dates, guestbook, and in frames. We loved her editing style - natural with a pop of color. We ended up booking her because we loved her positive energy and felt so confident in her organization. We truly felt like she would be able to run the show and gracefully navigate any situation that the wedding day could throw at us. Our full length engagement session was just as amazing, fun, and high quality, generating more content for our wedding invitations, website, and more. In the lead up to the wedding, we were able to talk and text with Ashley several times to clarify wedding details and she helped us set our full timeline, which directed all of our vendors. Now onto wedding day, Ashley and Tyler executed the photo timeline in stride. Ashley made us feel just as comfortable as our engagement sessions, making it fun, and serving as an additional wedding coordinator and bridesmaid. She cleaned up champagne with her dress and glass out of the aisle, climbed into the bushes to grab the perfect shots in the Vineyard, and helped bustle the wedding dress to make it in time for the grand entrance. Tyler even weeded sections of the Vineyard and ensured the dress train was fanned beautifully for every shot. Because of our experience with Ashley, we tell everyone that the most important piece of the wedding is finding an excellent photographer with the experience, confidence, and style to execute the vision of their dreams. We love Ashley so much and cannot recommend her more highly.
