Poetic and intimate imagery made with a documentary approach
I strive to communicate a sense of openness and intimacy in my images. You and your partner feeling comfortable is of the utmost importance to me, so creating an environment that feels safe and relaxed is an essential part of my process. I create imagery that feels artful and elevated while remaining true to you and your day. I’m here to preserve your memories and capture your wedding as it happened. While I’m happy to offer direction, especially during family formals and portraits, the majority of my coverage focuses on the true-to-life details of your celebration.
Intuitive, Creative, and Focuses on Raw Feelings and Organic Moments

Working with Macaulay as our wedding photographer was an incredible experience from start to finish. His style is pure poetic storytelling—he truly understands photography in all its forms and brought our day to life in a way that feels both artistic and genuine. Macaulay has a documentary style that lets moments unfold naturally, and he has this amazing way of putting everyone at ease, making you feel like you’re with a friend. Nothing felt staged or forced, just organic and real.
On the creative side, he’s exactly who you want by your side. His passion for photography is unmatched; he lives and breathes his craft and genuinely cares about capturing moments that make you feel seen and happy. Beyond his artistry, he’s an absolute professional—timely, organized, and made getting access to our photos so easy. His editing is spot-on, capturing the energy and beauty of the day perfectly, and he’s a master with lighting and locations.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the beautiful photos we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a talented, genuine artist who will bring warmth and joy to your big day, I couldn’t recommend Macaulay enough!

As soon as I came across Macaulay's website, I knew I wanted him to be our wedding photographer! His photos have such a documentarian, raw, and emotional quality to them — and was exactly what I was looking for. From start to finish, Macaulay was a pleasure to work with. He met with us to get to know us as a couple, and was very professional and communicative. On our wedding day, he was relaxed and made us feel like we were shooting photos with a friend. He struck a perfect balance between letting us propose places around the venue to photograph, but also had his own ideas to share with us. It was truly effortless. I was blown away by the beauty in our wedding photo album.
Working with Macaulay was an absolute dream. From our first Zoom meeting with him, we knew immediately that we’d found the perfect photographer. In a chaotic wedding industry, Macaulay is a beacon of calm and authenticity. We had so much fun at our engagement shoot, and Macaulay’s background in the arts came through in every shot. The day of our wedding, he arrived just as the timeline was ramping up, and his easygoing yet professional presence made all of us feel calmer. He is tremendously talented and tremendously likable, and I’d recommend him to anyone!

If my imagery and philosophy speak to you, head to my contact form and send me a message. From there we can schedule a Zoom call or plan to get coffee. I seek to get to know couples beyond the logistics of a wedding day and love hearing about your lives, how you met, and what you value in terms of photography. If we seem like a good fit, I'll pass along a contract where you can choose the package that feels right for you. While I am always available for check-in calls, wedding questionnaires are sent out two months prior to your date. You'll receive a sneak peek of roughly 50 images 1 week from your wedding and the final gallery within 3 months' time.

The process
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! While I love the comfort and familiarity of my home in Vermont, getting to photograph a place with new eyes is a feeling like no other. From the lowlands of Savannah GA to the streets of New York City, I’ve had the privilege of traveling all over for weddings and elopements.
do you travel?
I'm a firm believer in quality of quantity and would never want to deliver images just to hit an arbitrary numerical mark. I spend time crafting your wedding gallery and the number of images fluctuate depending on what tells the story of your day most effectively. That being said couples can expect roughly 60-70 images per hour of coverage.
How many photos will we receive?
While I define myself as a documentary photographer in the sense that I prioritize candid and organic moments I believe that adaptability is one of the most important traits you can have in this world. I work throughout the day to know whats appropriate for the situation whether that means hanging back to let you enjoy the moment or stepping in to provide more direction.
How would you describe your approach to photographing weddings?
Yes indeed! My photographic journey began on 35mm film over a decade ago in a high school dark room and to this day I still love experimenting and creating with a variety of film cameras. Inquire about film and polaroid add ons when you fill out the contact form and we can talk options!
Do you shoot film?
I am insured and am happy to pass along my certificate of insurance whenever venues require.
