Hi, I’m Madison Compton, a 25-year-old senior and wedding photographer based in Oklahoma. I’ve been capturing life through a lens for the past eight years, and every time I pick up my camera, it feels like home.

What started as a creative outlet in high school turned into something much deeper. During my freshman year at the University of Oklahoma, where I earned my degree in Art, Technology, and Culture, a friend told me that my photography was a gift from God. At the time, I didn’t see it that way, it was just something I did for fun. But her words stuck with me. Over time, I realized she was right. The more I created, the more I understood that my desire to make beautiful things came from Him.

I believe the act of creating, especially through art and storytelling, is a reflection of our Creator. Genesis 1:27 reminds us that we are made in His image, and I see photography as one way I get to reflect His creativity and love back into the world.

It’s easy to forget how beautiful life is, but photos help us remember. I’m endlessly grateful that I get to serve God and love others through this work and, honestly, I’m a little obsessed with it. I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Whether it’s a big milestone or just a quiet in-between moment, I’m here to celebrate you and preserve what matters most.
