“look no further”
“I would highly recommend Madeline to anyone that is looking for a great wedding videographer that cares about the shots their client wants and the style. I had no idea what kind of look I was going for with my video, but Madeline was able to capture the personal moments of my family and friends during our wedding with perfection! She and Cooper were professional but fun, and super flexible when I had to change my wedding plans completely last minute due to covid. The final product of my video was better than I could have ever imagined, and included a few surprises of moments that I didn’t even realize she had captured but was so happy that she included. If you’re looking for a great wedding videographer, look no further. I would definitely choose her again and again!”

From the very start, Madeline was so incredibly patient and flexible with me. I was indecisive about whether we were going to do videography or not and Madeline stayed patient and understanding until a couple months later when I decided upon the best decision I could have made, to get videography of our wedding by Madeline and her husband.
Not only are the two of these individuals amazing at their job but they are also just genuinely good people. They brought a presence to the wedding that was calming and pure and I am so grateful for that. During the chaos of organization and planning, they seemed to always be the calm. They were more than we could’ve asked for or paid for.
Thank you for making our wedding memorable & giving us something beautiful and timeless that we can show our kids one day.

Sam and Kyle’s wedding video is finished and Madeline Hewett did an incredible job! She is so talented and captured all the “feels” of this wonderful day! Being able to watch the happiness on the faces of this beautiful couple over and over again makes me so happy. The love can certainly be felt throughout the entire video. There’s nothing better in all the world than seeing your child glowing with pure happiness. I love this video and all of the people in it and feel so blessed to have this special memory of the day.

“It's been incredible to work with Madeline and Cooper. They are kind, responsive, and were extremely flexible. It was a pleasant surprise to see how much we'd get with our budget. They both are very creative and had great ideas that I would have never thought of. My wedding video is something I will cherish forever. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and everyone!”
— Sam
Madeline & Cooper- Where do I even start? You two are absolute angels. No doubt that God that meeting you two was all in God’s plan. There is no one else we would rather wake up and hike down a mountain at 5 am than you two. You have blown us away with our photos and video. I wasn’t quite sure how you would be able to capture how incredible our sunrise elopement was in Pololū Valley, but seeing these photos and watching our video, takes us right back to those moments. I will never get over Hawaii and how special that trip was. We can never say how much you two mean to us and how grateful we are for all you have done. We not only have incredible photos and a breathtaking video, we now have two very special friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We love you both!!

“Madeline was an amazing videographer! She was able to captivate all the important moments on our wedding day. I got married at Middleton Place in Charleston, SC and Madeline was able to capture the whimsical beauty of Middleton Place perfectly. My grandfather officiated the ceremony and Madeline was able to use his voice in our video which brought me to tears when I watched. She was very responsive to all my (and my mothers!) requests and was more than accommodating. She reached out about music to add to the video to ensure that our styles fit. The wedding video was completed in a timely manner. Madeline and her husband were always pleasant and always got back to us quickly. I will always cherish my wedding video and I can’t help but think it is due to how perfectly Madeline made the video. I cannot recommend her to capture your wedding day enough.”
— Aris
We are so so happy with our video. Literally could not have been any more perfect. I’ve watched it like a million times since yesterday and there’s no way I could ever get tired of it. If you’re looking for a videographer, Madeline is the one no doubt!!
