Hey There,

I'm Maddy Hickman.

I’m Maddy, a NYC-based film photographer specializing in couples, events, and styled shoots. My approach is about capturing real moments—the quiet in-betweens, the energy of a city street, and the way the light falls just right. Whether it’s an intimate elopement, a vibrant event, or a carefully crafted editorial, I aim to tell a story that feels timeless and true to you.


My love for film photography comes from its ability to slow things down. In a fast-paced digital world, shooting on film forces me to be intentional and to focus on composition, emotion, and the little details that make a moment unforgettable. It’s imperfect in the best way—grainy, rich, and full of life, just like the city I call home.


When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me wandering through flea markets and thrift stores, holed up in my apartment surrounded by unfinished craft projects, or yapping with my friends. If you’re looking for someone to document your story in a natural and effortless way, let’s connect—I’d love to work with you.

Working with Maddy was an absolute dream. From the moment we met, she made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, capturing the most genuine, intimate moments without ever making it feel forced. Her eye for detail is incredible—every shot felt so natural, yet so beautifully composed. The warmth and depth of her film photography gave our photos a timeless, editorial feel that we’ll cherish forever. If you're looking for someone who truly understands how to tell a story through imagery, Maddy is the one.
