About

On WeddingWire since 2019

We're a husband and wife team that captures photo and video in a way that is beautiful, authentic and timeless. Your photos will look absolutely stunning with special attention to softening your skin tones that make your photos stand out in a way only a true professional can. Our past clients can attest to the quality. We are also incredibly honored to rank #1 in the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in OC by Weddingrule.com.

There are many ways we shine. First, we are the type of people that arrive 15 minutes early to each event in order to review the space and prepare for shooting. Also, we have many brides that want stunning photography but do not want to be constantly over posed. We give you subtle guidance and tips throughout the day to get elegant and elevated photography without the stress over-posing. Genuine emotion and connection is what we will capture in your images throughout the day.

About 5 years ago, when my father was diagnosed with cancer, I really shifted to consciously find moments to incorporate loved ones and family members into our wedding photos and videos so you can forever cherish these special moments you shared with the people you love on your wedding day. This includes parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Please tell us about the emotionally significant people in your life you want to make sure we capture on your day.

Our Wedding Videos use professional audio recordings from your vows, toasts and interviews as voice over in your wedding film. All Video Packages include 3 different videos: a highlight video, your full ceremony and full speeches. All this is delivered in an online streaming platform where you can download them all.

To elevate your event we use professional lighting for spotlights during the grand entrance, first dance, parent dances and speeches. The lighting will make your special moments beautiful throughout your day.

AWARDS: We have been awarded “The Knot Hall of Fame" award. This is in addition to "The Knot Best of Weddings" & "Couple's Choice Award" from Wedding Wire and Best of Zola the last 6 Years running. With 7 years experience in the wedding industry we pride ourselves on the quality of our photography and wedding films.

We cannot wait to hear about your wedding plans! Let's set up a call today.

Best experience ever!

We are so incredibly happy we chose to use Jesse and his team as our photographers for our wedding day. My husband and I do not love being in front of a camera, but Jesse made us feel so comfortable. He brought the most calming energy that made the entire day even more enjoyable. One thing in particular that stood out to us was that we didn't hire Jesse to stay to the very end of our reception (we had an early ceremony), but he stayed way over his contract time to get more footage without us even asking. (Yes, we tipped him extra for that even though he did not ask for anything!)

Not to mention our photos came out even more beautiful than we could have even imagined. PLUS- Jesse got our photos back to us within 2 weeks! That is almost unheard of this the wedding photography industry so we were over-the-moon excited when he shared the album with us. We were still on our honeymoon at the time so it made the experience of looking through the album for the first time even more special. A couple of weeks after we received the album, we received the videos of all the speeches and a "highlight" video of the entire day. Needless to say, all of the videos were beyond perfect and made me tear up watching as we got to relive moments of that day again. Overall, I couldn't recommend Jesse Madison Photography and Video enough. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing Photos to Create a Lifetime of Memories...

I couldn't be more happy with the photos with Jesse Madison. He and his wife took each moment and captured it beautifully. The captions with our bridal parties getting ready, to the ceremony, the family photos and romantics were incredible. It was a day to remember and we have the photos with memories to last a lifetime.
