I became a photographer because I’ve always loved capturing meaningful moments for the people around me. For years, I was the friend with a camera in hand at every event — holidays, celebrations, girls’ nights — documenting the memories that mattered most. That passion eventually led me to invest in my first professional camera, and from there, it’s grown into something truly special. Turning what I love into a career has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made.
That’s such a tough question — it’s hard to choose just one! Over the years, there have been countless little moments that have stayed with me. Truthfully some of my favorite memories come from working alongside my Complete team and connecting with incredible couples, families, venues, and vendors. It’s those genuine connections and shared laughter behind the scenes that make every event so special.
My favorite part of being a photographer is capturing not just the big, unforgettable moments, but the quiet, in-between ones too. The tear-filled eyes, the nervous excitement before a first look, the warm hugs just after saying “I do,” and the family portraits that will be treasured for generations. There’s something incredibly meaningful about preserving the love and emotion that fill a room. I could go on and on, but simply put, I feel endlessly grateful to witness and document these moments time and time again.
What makes my work unique is the genuine connection I build with each couple. I focus not only on the big picture, but also on the small, meaningful details that often go unnoticed. My style is rooted in natural, true-to-life storytelling, so much so that capturing your day feels effortless and intuitive. With years of experience and nearly 100 weddings under my belt, I bring both confidence and care to every celebration I document.
First dances are one of my absolute favorite parts of a wedding day. There’s something so moving about the emotion, the love, and the pure joy radiating from the couple and families — it’s a moment where everything else fades away. I tear up during most of them, honestly! It’s such a beautiful reminder of why I love what I do.
One fun fact about me, I’m a total bookworm! Give me a cozy spot, a good book, and a quiet day, and I’m in heaven. I’m that person juggling a Kindle on the go, a hardback at home, and an audiobook in the car, all at the same time.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer who offers a calm, caring presence and true to life, story driven images, Maddy is a wonderful choice for your day. She’s focused on making sure your wedding is fun, runs according to plan, and results in a gallery of images you will be proud to look back on for years to come.

"Wedding Photography-- Maddy Chambliss was beyond amazing! From our initial consult, down to the last minute of our wedding day, she guided us through the entire process. This was our first time ever working with a professional photographer, and she put us at ease and made us feel fantastic about our photos. Which was a huge relief as the wedding day is stressful enough without having to worry about capturing all those moments that you put so much time into planning. Maddy brought great energy all day, while also keeping the focus on us, guiding us through all the great shots we were looking for in our first look, family photos, and also incorporating our dog, Angel! We received our "sneak peeks" the very next day, which was phenomenal to immediately share with our close family/friends. We are beyond grateful for Maddy and couldn't imagine having anyone else. Thank you, Maddy!"

"We booked photography, videographer, dj, and Photobooth with complete and we are so completely and utterly amazed just how great all of our services were!! The 2 photographers made the day go by so smoothly and they added the intimate details to everything! Both Maddy and Erica made us so comfortable and feel so in love with every shot they took! Hutch was also just so great with his attention to detail! Jake and Chris kept the party going for me and my new husband and shared the party with us, also adding that intimate feeling instead of strangers that are doing a job! Lastly every photo from the Photobooth made us laugh inside out the morning after thanks to the flash drive! We will definitely be recommending Complete and all their services to our other friends and family getting hitched!"
