Madison Wren Photography

  • Serves Elkview, WV

Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a wedding photographer based in West Virginia! I find happiness in my family, my church, warm summer light, capturing moments on film, sunrises and sunsets, and reminiscing on nostalgic moments. I have a passion for travel and am always happy to go somewhere new! I picked up my first camera in middle school (thanks, Grandpa) and never looked back. I began documenting my own life, as well as special moments for my friends & family, and I quickly fell in love with the gift of memories that photography provides.

I cannot recommend Maddie highly enough! From the first moments of our special day, her warm and calming presence immediately put us at ease. She was so kind and professional throughout the entire process, making what could have been a stressful portion of the day feel effortless and joyful. Her attention to detail and ability to capture genuine, heartfelt moments are truly unmatched. Every time I look back at my wedding photos, I’m transported to that magical day all over again. These photos are treasures I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful to Maddie for preserving these memories so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both talented and an absolute delight to work with, look no further! Congrats on your big day! I know Maddie will capture all the magic... you just go get married! ;)

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

Awarded Best of Zola
My newly minted husband and I were over the moon from the initial contact with Anna Elisabeth. She is an excellent listener with a superb sense of capturing our wishes in her photographs. We had an unusual experience in that we wanted to capture both of our faith traditions on different days and different geographical areas in the same state. Anna Elisabeth professionally and respectfully photographically savored these traditions beautifully with her photographic gift. She was present and her presence was professionally and discretely demonstrated. Her keen sense of recording precious moments was one of storybooks.. from having the pictures of the bride's mother place, her once veil (when the mother was married 57 years ago) to having the groom's mother putting a family heirloom bracelet on to capturing the special wink given by the groom when he first saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father. All these moments were special at the time and Anna Elisabeth captured them beautifully and discretely. Communication is very important to us, and Anna Elisabeth was professional, prompt and demonstrated honest integrity throughout the entire process. We are providing her a 5 star rating but she is off the charts and anyone who uses her will understand why she should be rated a 10!

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

Roman Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From our very first interaction, Roman's communication was comprehensive, timely and incredibly helpful as we planned the details of our small, backyard ceremony. We had never hired a photographer before, and he was very helpful in asking us questions and sharing information proactively. On the day of, Roman captured the event seamlessly - he knew exactly when to step back and let moments unfold naturally, and when to jump in to get the perfect shot. We're so grateful that he noticed us FaceTiming my grandmother so we have beautiful photos of her presence, even though she couldn't attend in person. The final photos are absolutely stunning, and the value for the quality of work was excellent.

We had an amazing experience with Stephanie! She is very professional, friendly, and kind, which made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She really knows what she’s doing — from helping us with natural poses to capturing the most perfect moments. She also helped us choose the location for our elopement, making our special day feel truly unique and memorable. We couldn’t be happier with the photos and the entire experience. She’s simply wonderful!

Welcome! I'm Leah! I'm all about the real stuff. Unposed and raw moments. I probably won't ask you to "sit still and then look at me." What I will ask you to do is "Tell them three things you love most about them," and I will be there to capture all the laughs, tears, and giggles for you to have forever. I am here to help tell your story!

Leah, I have never had so many people compliment on how beautiful both the engagement and wedding pictures are!! We were so impressed with your talent and how comfortable you made us feel throughout the day. Your eye for photography amazes me, and we both feel so blessed that you were able to capture one of the most important days of our lives! We will cherish these memories for the rest of our lives!!

I’m Maria, an experienced wedding photographer specializing in multicultural and Western celebrations. As a child, I developed a passion for the arts and culture that only continued to grow with me. After studying photography in college, I decided to pursue wedding photography and have never looked back. I’ve found this path to be more fulfilling than I ever imagined possible, and have settled into my photojournalistic style over the years. I love photographing moments that unfold spontaneously. If you’re looking to capture your love in a way that feels authentic and creative, I’m here for you.

One of the best decisions my now-husband and I made for our wedding was working with Maria for our photographs. Initially, I loved her photography style from her online galleries, and I liked that she had done a variety of styles and faiths of weddings, including a lot of Indian and multicultural weddings - which applied to us. We had a fantastic engagement shoot, and Maria was happy to walk all over the city with us and carry our things, all while getting to know us, telling stories, and teaching us how to get comfortable in front of the camera and what to do to get beautiful pictures that looked and felt natural, but that we would never have gotten without her guidance. She stayed in touch over the months until the wedding, and helped us figure out scheduling, talked through timing and plans so we could get the most photos in the most relaxed way, and then was there for our event the day before, and the wedding the following day. Every moment was great, she and her team are lovely to work with, and every photograph was truly stunning. We then got an incredible photo album and a flash drive. I would hire Maria again in a heartbeat. We absolutely recommend her!
