Happy holidays, everyone! I’m excited to finally take a moment and introduce you to a very special couple: Madison and Matthew (doesn’t that just sound perfect together?!) But first, you will need a little backstory!
When I had my first serious boyfriend in high school, it was a pretty big deal in my world. You had holidays, birthdays, family to impress, and all the fun of being young and in love in between. I’ll never forget what it felt like having his little sister excited to see me or his Mom asking me to help bake Christmas cookies. It truly was the best feeling! While sixteen didn’t last forever, those wonderful people have stayed in touch and even kept up with my photography journey too. I didn’t know it then, but little sister was an “SVP Bride” even before Southern Vintage Photography existed.
Madison’s brother (the boy that has a special place in my heart) texted me earlier this year and broke the news of Madison’s engagement. I was beyond excited for them and pleased to see Madison so happy with Matthew. A couple of weeks later I got THE call from Madison asking if I’d come to Georgia and photograph her wedding in November. Watching this amazing person transform from “little sister” to the beautiful bride has been the highlight of my year.
Madison and Matthew met at Mississippi State and became fast friends. After being together through college, long-distance, and the real world these two knew they were ready to take the next step. With friends and family present, Matthew proposed to Madison in February and began their journey towards marriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Gaydon were married on November 22, 2020, in Douglasville, Georgia at Foxhall. The weather was perfect just like the series of events that brought us all together. Madison had a “first look” with her Dad and brother that makes me tear up every time I go through the images. The intimate “first look” and washing of the feet that Madison and Matthew shared was one of the most spiritual things I’ve ever witnessed. And it might be my Georgia roots, but I’m a big fan of how Madison incorporated her love for Coca-Cola! I can go on and on about this wedding, but we all know it would be easier if I showed you! Enjoy!
Wishing Madison + Matthew all the happiness in the world!
Special thanks to all the wonderful vendors who helped create their perfect day!

"I cannot stop raving and telling everyone about all of our experiences with SVP!
First, I hired them for our wedding. Jacqueline was amazing with our engagement session, our various before pictures, the ceremony, and the reception. We had a 4-year-old and a dog in our wedding party and neither phased her one bit! After that amazing experience with you, we have continued to go back to SVP. From her holiday mini-sessions to extended family sessions, Jacqueline is there. With stunning and beautiful locations and the ability to feel out a group, you can see the love and joy she takes in her work with every camera click."
The Jensen Family
From our engagement photos to annual family pictures, we could not have asked for a better photographer to help us capture our precious memories. Jacqueline responds to communications quickly, is always professional, and our pictures always come out better than we imagine! We are so thankful to have found a photographer we love to work with year after year!"

"My family has worked with Jacqueline for years now!
"Our 12 people multi family photography session went off without a hitch.
Jacqueline was very professional and has a great eye. She is so friendly and easy going that we all felt comfortable and at ease around her instantly and that really shows up in your pictures. We had so many great pictures to choose from, both individual and family shots. I highly recommend her for any photography needs you may have."
Thank you Jackie for capturing this beautiful wedding. These pictures exude love and happiness. We are so happy that you were able to be a part of Madison and Matt’s wedding.
You are the best! Can’t wait for the final album❤️
