Hello!

My name is Malia Spellman.

I have a BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art + Design and a minor in Art Management. I’ve been shooting weddings for 9 years now! I love meeting new clients + working with them to create life long memories. My style is light and airy and I really love to capture movement. I specialize in candid images but enjoy the occasional formal portrait. Please reach out to me for inquiries, I’m available for all things love! Engagements, weddings, family, + boudoir sessions!

I’m a freelance photographer based in Milwaukee, WI!

I love being able to connect with the couple and create long lasting images for the them and their family. When it gets to the couple portraits, my favorite moment is reminding the bride and groom that the moment we are in is the most important moment. It’s the first moment that the bride and groom get to be together, alone, outside of the hustle and bustle of the chaotic day. This is where their love really shows through and I get to capture the magic!

”I would 100% recommend Malia! She did our engagement photos and wedding photos. She was very attentive to details, not only with my husband and I, but with background detail. She listens to what your ideas are and brings them to life along with adding poses in that you will end up loving. She is very personable and is actually interested in learning about you as a person. She makes sure that you get all the photos you want on your wedding day and doesn’t leave until you do (and when she does leave, she actually says goodbye). I do not regret anything with Malia and so happy that we chose her to do our photos that we will look back at forever!”
