DO YOU TRAVEL FOR DESTINATION WEDDINGS?
Absolutely! While I’m based in Newport, RI, I frequently travel throughout New England and internationally to capture weddings. I love working in diverse locations and am happy to discuss travel arrangements to make capturing your destination wedding seamless.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
My style is a blend of timeless elegance and authentic storytelling. I focus on capturing real emotions and the unique personality of each couple, creating images that feel both natural and artfully composed.
WHAT DOES A TYPICAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE INCLUDE?
My packages are customizable to fit your needs but typically include full-day wedding coverage, a personalized online gallery, and high-resolution edited images. Engagement photos are included for clients within 90 minutes of Newport, and many couples also add rehearsal/welcome dinner and goodbye brunch coverage for a complete wedding weekend experience.
HOW DO YOU ENSURE WE'LL FEEL COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
I prioritize getting to know each client before the shoot day, creating a relaxed environment where you can just be yourselves. I’ll offer gentle guidance for natural poses, but my goal is for you to feel completely at ease, so your personalities shine through.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE MADDIE VAN FOR MY WEDDING?
With a focus on genuine connections and attention to detail, I work closely with each couple to ensure that every important moment is beautifully preserved. Whether it’s an intimate Newport elopement or a grand celebration in a destination far from home, my goal is to create images that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. My experience with various wedding styles and locations allows me to capture the essence of your day in a way that feels authentic to you.
