Maddox Made Weddings

is a long-overdue collaboration of Ariana Jordan Photography and Maddox Made Film. We’re a husband and wife team who create magical photography and timeless wedding films for couples across Kentucky and beyond. We vibe with couples who are a little nerdy, who march to the beat of their own drum, who appreciate finding the magic in everyday life, and who want something a little different. We believe in offering an exceptional experience, capturing priceless memories, and making art out of it.

  • We want to be more than words on a screen. We're your hype team, your sounding board, your problem solvers; we're there for you.

    We want to hear all about your plans, get to know each other, and answer all of your questions to help you choose the coverage that’s right for you.

    Leading up to your wedding, we'll cultivate a relationship: dreaming up magic at your first consult and sharing all our pro tips; having fun at your engagement session while teaching you to slay at posing and learning which jokes make you laugh the hardest; and ironing out all the details at your final consult to ensure your day flows without a hitch (y'know, except for the getting hitched part!).

    By the time we arrive at your wedding, we want you to be excited to see us! When you're feeling all those big feelings, we want you to feel comfortable expressing yourself. And most of all, we want you to feel confident that your wedding photos and video are a gorgeous representation of your day.

  • We have over a decade of experience in the wedding industry to not only provide you amazing photos and a priceless wedding film in any scenario, but a wonderful experience too. We will make swift work of the formal photos, help keep everything running smoothly, and make sure you actually get to eat your dinner!

    We know wedding days can be wild and we're prepared for any curveballs the day may throw at us! You name it, we've seen it all!

    The day will go by so quickly for you, we want you to be able to savor every moment.


  • Let’s be real, the hardest part of getting married is the agonizing wait for your photos + film to be ready. From the very beginning, you will have an exact delivery date you can count down to (and be delighted about when they’re finished early!) With options for expedited delivery and teaser films, we make the wait as short and painless as possible while we work our magic.

The Experience

  • Rave Reviews

    We go above and beyond to give our couples a magical and unforgettable experience. But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what they have to say. . .

  • "professional and very responsive"

    Ariana and her husband shot our wedding. I can’t talk more highly about them both! From the moment we booked them they were professional and very responsive to all the questions we had. Our engagement pictures turned out awesome! Ariana talked us through everything through the shoot which really made it easier for my husband who isn’t a big fan of pictures. I am so happy we booked them for our wedding, they were attentive and so helpful on our wedding day! They went with the flow in addition to helping things run smoothly with the pictures and videos. I would highly recommend both of them.

  • "duo of creative geniuses!"

    Ariana is fabulous! Working with her is an amazing experience. She’s a pleasure to work with and always brings good vibes and energy with her. My husband and I recently had the honor of having Ariana and her husband, Drew, shoot our wedding and we are obsessed! The video and pictures are magical! They are a kind, amazing power couple. Working with them together is another amazing experience. Duo of creative geniuses! If you’re looking for a photographer, stop looking because you’ve found her! If you also want a videographer, she’s got you covered there too.. she knows one well. ☺️❤️ - Kathryn + Brandon

  • “an amazing team”

    We hired them to photograph & videograph our wedding and we were BLOWN AWAY with the pictures and the video! It far surpassed any of my expectations; to say that I am thrilled is an understatement. Ariana is so easy to work with. She made the day run smoothly. She took all the photos I wanted plus so many more. On top of that, her eye for photography is incredible. She's a true artist. Her husband's video work is incredible, as well; watching the video was like reliving the day. All of my family commented on how great they were to work with as well. I have a pretty big family and she coordinated the big family shots with ease. I can't praise the two enough, so if you're looking for a photographer definitely hire them!!

  • “gets to know you on a personal level”

    I am pretty indecisive… especially when it came to our wedding. So, it came to no surprise by my (now) husband how many photographers I researched, emailed, and eventually met up with. To help spare you from doing all the research like I did, I can assure you that you cannot and will not go wrong with having Ariana as your photographer, especially for the price and quality of photos you get!! Ariana is super down to earth and makes taking your picture easy, natural, and fun -- especially when you are not a photogenic person. She gets to know you on a personal level so she knows exactly what you are looking for in your pictures.

    -Rachael + Jake

  • “Ariana is simply the best to work with!”

    She's funny and spunky, and her photos are the most beautiful photos I've ever seen! She captures light magically, and everything she touches is beautiful! Our wedding photos are perfect!
