Madeline Druce Photography

Maddie was such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day; despite us being rather big introverts and not very comfortable posing for photos in general, She was a complete photo ninja, and in addition to making us feel at ease while she was around, she captured so many touching moments of our day in such a beautiful manner.Maddie’s style was a perfect balance between what we were both after, and after working with her, and then receiving our photos, we are so, so immensely glad that we were able to have her as our photographer. Thank you Maddie, and all the best with your future endeavours!!

We searched and searched for a photographer that would make us feel comfortable on the day (I hate having my photo taken). When Maddie suggested we meet over a wine to discuss the wedding, I knew she was the girl for us!On the day, Maddie was a dream. I didn't feel awkward once. She was relaxed and happy and because of that, we were relaxed too.When we got our photos back I could not stop crying OF HAPPINESS. I have genuinely never seen such beautiful wedding photos. Her photos were candid and intimate, and she captured all of the special moments in our day perfectly.I couldn't recommend Maddie highly enough. I hope every bride and groom are lucky enough to have a photographer as talented as her.

Choosing Maddie as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we ever made. From the very first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Maddie is a true professional as well as being super kind, friendly, organised and personable. Maddie kept in regular contact in the lead up to the wedding, and on the day, worked seamlessly with the venue, celebrant etc to ensure the everything ran smoothly.On top of being just an excellent human, Maddie has an incredible eye and talent for what she does. We had seen numerous shots by her on her social media and just knew she could capture our day beautifully. Maddie can capture the most amazingly breathtaking light and has such a keen eye for the landscape around which she is shooting.Maddie - You are an amazing photographer and down right beautiful person. Our wedding photos are stunning. You captured every smile, every feeling, every bit of happiness. Your photos of us fill us with smiles and we feel like we're reliving the day looking at each shot. The girls and i loved chatting with you while getting ready, and to dancing with you at the end of the night. Hayden and i will always be so grateful. Thank you so much! xx

We were immediately drawn to Maddie and her ethereal imagery and probably would have changed our wedding date to ensure she could photograph our wedding day we loved her that much! Maddie played such an important part in making the lead up and day so special, she was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble and she so much fun to work with. We’re both not comfortable in front of the camera so when the photos returned we were utterly blown away, oh my! She is the master at capturing that kind of unrefined grace in a moment, her creative vision and passion comes through in every single photo. We simply adore our photos, every time we look at them our heart skips a beat and we are just unbelievably ecstatic with Maddie's work. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough, Maddie you gave us the best gift of all and we are forever grateful and madly in love with our photos and of you. We love you real hard, The Jones xo

Choosing Maddie to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our day! I am so glad we didn't get scared off by the fact she lived in Melbourne and our wedding was in NZ! From the moment I found her website I knew she had the exact style we were after, and she did not disappoint - our sneak peeks are absolutely stunning! I am so excited to see the rest from the day. Maddie made everyone feel so relaxed - it was like having an old friend there with us taking our photos. She made everything so easy and hassle-free. I had many guests tell me how friendly she was and how at ease she made them feel. Maddie really went above and beyond for our day, risking hypothermia as we climbed mountains above the snow line in incredibly windy conditions - so many goosebumps & laughs! We have such fond memories of our day and because of Maddie we have the perfect images to remind ourselves of those memories. We really can't thank her enough - she is amazing! xx

We were first drawn to the incredible talent that Maddie possesses after she photographed a friends wedding a couple of years ago. Seeing how natural and stunning their photographs were made our decision easy. Now our day has come and gone the choice is even more justified. From the first meeting and thorough preparation, through the wedding day and onto the final product, Maddie’s enthusiasm, dedication, professionalism and pride in her work is second to none. The quality of the photographs and the quick turn around time has made sharing the memories of our day all the more special. Thanks again Maddie, not just a brilliant photographer but an amazing person too.

Madeline took photos at our recent wedding. We've seen the sneak peeks and they are amazing!! Most importantly, Maddie was so lovely to have around on the day - fun, relaxed, but keeping us on track and on time. She understood what we were hoping to get out of the day, and really respected our aims (not too long spent on photos and plenty of fun while we were doing them). Maddie did encourage us to take a moment to see each other for the first time, which was really special, and I'm so glad she made us do it even though we thought it wasn't our style to do a big 'reveal'. Trust Maddie's instincts - she is spot on. Everyone mentioned how lovely Maddie was. We can't wait to see all of our photos. Maddie is a very talented lady.

Maddie was one of the first vendors we hired for our wedding in February 2018, because as soon as we saw her amazing editorial-style wedding photos online we knew that she was the photographer for us - and we were not disappointed! Maddie was such a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process, she was communicative and open and provided us with so many ideas and material to think about which ensured that our big day ran smoothly and our photos turned out beautifully. On the day, Maddie was the consummate professional making sure that we got all the shots we asked for, blending in with our guests to get some really lovely candid photos, and scouting the area for locations for interesting shots. After the wedding Maddie was such a superstar and provided us with dozens of incredible sneak peek photos that we could share with our friends and family TWO DAYS after the wedding. She is a machine! We could not recommend Maddie enough, whether it be for a wedding or any other job, she is incredibly talented and a beautiful person and you won't regret it.

We asked Maddie to be our photographer after seeing her portfolio of work. It was an easy choice in the end. Maddie has a distinctive style of muted tones, natural looks, and beautiful composition that set her apart. We figured at the time that if we could get one or two that looked as good as her online ones, we'd be doing well. When the first batch of 50 photos arrived a week after the wedding, we were bowled over to discover 50 drop dead gorgeous shots. And more were to come only a few weeks later, too.On the day itself Maddie was relaxed, upbeat and very professional. Neither of us are big fans of being photographed, and yet Maddie had us at ease. I suspect that's her secret - Maddie is great fun to have around, and it ends up showing in the photos.Thanks, Maddie. We really couldn't be happier with both the day and the end products; and we still think you have the best wedding photography style going around :)

Maddie is a very talented photographer who was a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. She has captured some amazing moments from our wedding and was incredibly patient in managing and coordinating our large bridal party. From our first meeting, Maddie was always professional and helpful as we planned our wedding day and adding some helpful tips, which ultimately helped us to create an amazing wedding. Cannot recommend Maddie highly enough - amazing photographer and a lovely person.
