Hi, I am Maddi Mae

Wedding photographer in America, Saudi arabia
& beyond

 

Originally from the Midwest, United States of America, my journey has taken me to Arizona and now Saudi Arabia. Along the way, I've learned that some of the most meaningful experiences come from stepping beyond what's familiar, staying curious, and creating a life that feels true to who you are.

The best memories captured


"From the moment we met Maddi at Desert to Desert Photo, she made us feel like old friends. She was quick to respond to our questions and made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. Before our wedding day, she sat down with us to understand our vision and the shots that mattered most, which gave us confidence that she truly got what we wanted. On the day of our wedding, Maddi had an incredible eye for capturing moments we never would have noticed ourselves—like the beautiful candid shots she found while we were walking between our downtown locations. Every single photo from both our couples session and wedding day turned out absolutely beautiful. If you're looking for a talented photographer who makes the experience fun and relaxed, I can't recommend Desert to Desert Photo enough."
