Maggie Mudd PhotographyMy name is Maggie Mudd and I am a Washington, DC based wedding photographer. I photograph with a journalistic approach, paired with a background as a choreographer. This combination allows me to give direction to my clients in a way that creates unique images, while keeping the photographs honest and natural. Life is too short to miss a second of it. I've made it my job to archive life's fleeting moments for my clients. I hope you'll invite me to capture your wedding day and all it's joy. I've been told my photography is modern nostalgia... and I couldn't be happier to agree. I blend what's old with the new, making each image unique yet timeless. I want each of my images to be a piece of art, but also a treasure. I'd love to hear from you... |
Vanessa and Ben: Engagement
Posted on July 13, 2010
Vanessa and Ben will be getting married this fall in upstate New York. They’re planning a morning wedding with a breakfast reception followed by a day filled with winery hopping. Sounds like a blast huh? Well they live in DC, and wanted some engagement shots of where they live now. DC is such an amazing city to live in, it’s no wonder they wanted to remember this time in their lives. Vanessa wanted to incorporate some props into their session, and I couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out. She’s a book worm, he’s a chef… so she read Shakespeare and he read a vintage Gourmet cookbook. Cool right? We hung out near the National Gallery of Art and enjoyed using all the different backdrops it had to offer.
Congrats to this gorgeous couple! Hope the wedding turns out to be all you hope for!

Eva and Robby: Wedding
Posted on July 11, 2010
Eva (or Nicole as she’s known by family) and Robby were married on July 10. She was as happy as I’ve ever seen a Bride while getting ready for her wedding. He was the sweetest Groom I’ve ever worked with. The two are perfect for each other. Old fashioned themes were poured over this wedding and it was a joy to photograph. From the dress, the veil, his shoes, the colors, the jazz band, to the old church… it all came together so well. Congrats Eva and Rob!
Take a look at some of my favorites from this wedding.
favorite! love love love her!
best kiss ever!
I’d like to thank the sun for being in just the right position for this shot… love the light!
this girl had a beautiful voice!
love. it.
congrats again to this happy, funny, loving couple!

Emily and Scott: Sneak Peak
Posted on June 25, 2010
One week after my own wedding, I had the pleasure of photographing Emily and Scott on their big day. One word describes this wedding day… romance. Pure romance. (ok maybe two words). I cried the whole day. Emily and Scott blew me away with their obvious and rich love for one another. Here are just a few images I’m starting to fall in love with. More to come after I return from my own honeymoon.

Elizabeth and Mike: Georgetown Engagement Session
Posted on May 31, 2010
Elizabeth contacted me last month about getting together for an engagement shoot. She and her fiance, Mike, are getting married this summer in Chicago. Although they’ve found a fantastic Chicago based photographer for their wedding day, they wanted to do some shots in DC where they both live now. They met in college in Illinois, and have been together ever since the end of Freshman year. These two were an absolute blast to work with! They are so in love with each other and their connection is so evident in these pictures. I hope you enjoy my latest engagement session, and will join me in wishing all the best to Elizabeth and Mike. Congrats you two!
So we’re walking along the C&O Canal in Georgetown, and we hear beautiful music ahead. Yeah, I work for some awesome couples… they decided to just start dancing in the middle of the pathway. I was this close to crying. It was over the top romantic. Love these two!
don’t mind them… they just can’t stop dancing

Trash the Dress Winners!
Posted on May 31, 2010
A while back I announced MMP was looking for a married couple who was interested in doing a trash the dress session. We had a contest and opened the flood gates to anyone who would be married by this fall. I took a lot of entries and I’m overwhelmed by the response to this contest! Deciding on who should win was incredibly difficult, but I had to do it. There was, from the start, one entry that really sparked something in me. This couple was exactly who I was looking for. They are approaching their one year anniversary, and the wife wanted to give the TTD photos to her husband for their one year mark. The traditional first year gift is paper… so this is perfect! More than that, I loved her idea for the session. This contest was meant to drive the creative force behind the shoot, and I was open to anything suggested. Not only will this shoot be different, but it will mean something to the couple…
The winners to the first MMP Trash the Dress contest are Kristi and Dave out of the Washington DC area. Dave and Kristi are big fans of anything outdoors. They also love to do crossword puzzles together. So, Dave proposed at the top of a mountain in Northern VA after a long hike the couple took together. He incorporated a custom crossword puzzle with the proposal in it!
I can’t wait to get to work on this shoot! Plan on seeing how well hiking boots and a wedding gown really do go together. A tent, roasted marshmallows, and of course a crossword puzzle are also props to be expected from this shoot. Keep an eye out this fall for the results!
Thank you for all the entries, and congrats to Kristi and Dave!
Here’s the happy couple…

Washington DC Engagement Session: Elizabeth and Miguel
Posted on May 17, 2010
Elizabeth contacted me about a month ago to talk about the photography for her wedding in August. Elizabeth, Miguel and myself met up for coffee after work one evening and spent about an hour just chatting about their wedding and what they wanted and needed out of their photography. They will be getting married in downtown DC, and wanted their engagement session to really showcase where they live and fell in love. So… for their engagement shoot we got together on a Sunday evening before the sunset at the Lincoln Memorial. The crows were there, but not too overwhelming to work around.
These two are so effortlessly in love. One so easily compliments the other. The give and take seems to be so natural. The session felt that way too. It’s so nice working with two people who are happy to love each other, and happy to spend time together. They really enjoyed the session and from what I could tell, ended up having a lot of fun. I can’t wait for August to get here so Dave and I can be there to do it all over again on their wedding day. It sounds like it’s going to be a beautiful wedding and one heck of a party. Congrats Elizabeth and Miguel. Thank you for today’s wonderful engagement session… I’ll see you soon!
I’ll start with my favorite series from the shoot…

Personal: a friend’s wedding
Posted on May 13, 2010
Ellie and Leslie, now Mr. and Mrs. Walter, are friends of ours. Leslie and Dave (my almost husband) went to college together. They were roommates for several years and have too many stories I’d rather not hear about if you catch my drift… Dave was a bit of a party animal according to Leslie. Leslie will be in our wedding this June and I’m so glad these two men have remained friends.
Although I spent most of the night crying, “oooo’ing” over the beautiful Bride, stuffing my face with awesome food, and dancing my tail off… I did pick up my camera for their first dance. “Don’t Go Changing” was a perfect song choice and I can tell you everyone crowded around that dance floor could feel the love between these two.
Congrats Leslie and Ellie… you made a beautiful couple and put on one heck of a party. Yours was a great start to the wedding season, full of happy days for so many couples. I’m honored to have been there. Thank you for letting me capture this quick moment.

Elopement: Katie and Paul
Posted on May 2, 2010
In keeping with the theme for today… I’ll make this snappy.
Katie and Paul met. Katie and Paul fell in love. Paul asked Katie to marry him. She said yes! Katie and Paul plan a big wedding. Then Katie and Paul get fed up with said wedding and elope.
A hand sewn (by the Bride) red dress, fresh flowers, a single peacock feather, one Justice of the Peace, two photographers, a hidden gem found in a local park, and one incredible sunset… Katie and Paul got married.
Sometimes folks, love can be that simple.
Congrats you two, it was a true honor to be there. Thank you.

Portraits: Nicole
Posted on April 25, 2010
This is Nicole. She’s pretty awesome. Although that’s all you really need to know I’ll give you a little more insight into why this chic is so cool.
Nicole is friends with my younger brother and spent much of high school putting up with him (no offense John). So in my book that alone makes her pretty cool. Nicole had wanted to get some family portraits while she was in town for a conference. We did in fact get the whole gang together for some shots in DC on a beautiful warm evening… but that’s for another post. While doing the family shoot Nicole’s mom asked that we snap just a few shots of her daughter in time for graduation announcements. So for just a few minutes, Nicole worked it out for the camera like she’d majored in modeling. But wouldn’t you know, she’s instead about to graduate from Texas A&M with a Masters degree in Geography. Her undergrad was in Meterology. (Yeah… I know. She’s awesome). Nicole has always been such a sweet girl, and now she’s a beautiful, intelligent, kick ass woman who should seriously look into modeling on the side. So congrats Nicole, there’s no stopping you.
yep… favorite. Love that smile.
