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!

Jesse Madison knocked it out of the park with our wedding photos!
We got married in Laguna Beach and Jesse did the photography from before the ceremony through the reception. He and his assistant caught every beautiful moment! I am eternally grateful for these memories that they captured artistically, portraying all of our emotions, all of our joy. Jesse is very experienced, an expert in his craft. He's an artist and that shines through in his photos. He was thoughtful, kind and masterful in catching every poignant interaction. Now we get to use these photos to remember the best day of my life in all its full glory. Our loved ones who were there to celebrate this with us are commenting that these are the best wedding photos they've ever seen. Thank you Jesse for knocking it out of the park. --Shari & Bryan

Absolutely Amazing – Couldn’t Have Asked for Better!
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and videography team for our wedding. Jesse Madison and his team were professional, organized, and honestly just great people to be around. On a day that can feel hectic, they made everything feel easy and stress-free.
What really stood out is that Jesse went above and beyond; not just with photos and video, but by giving us helpful advice on how to set up parts of our wedding to make everything run smoother and look better. That kind of experience and care made a huge difference for us.
Jesse and his team did an incredible job capturing every important moment without making anything feel forced. They knew exactly where to be, what to capture, and how to keep things moving without interrupting the flow of the day. Everything felt natural, which we really appreciated.
When we received our photos and videos, we were blown away. The quality, attention to detail, and the way they told the story of our wedding day was beyond what we expected. They captured the emotions, the energy, and all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening.
If you’re looking for a team that is professional, talented, and genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend Jesse and his team. They delivered more than just photos and videos; they gave us memories we’ll be able to relive forever.

You must book him!
I can’t stop getting emotional every time I look at our wedding photos and videos. Jesse didn’t just capture our day, he captured the love, the joy, and all the tiny moments I never want to forget. He listened to everything we hoped for and brought our vision to life in the most beautiful way. We’re so grateful for how he went above and beyond for us. Thank you, Jesse, for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever!

Best photographer
Jesse was very professional and personable. He's a professional who knows what he's doing and has incredible vision with his craft. Jesse was one of my top 3 photographers while we were on the hunt for a photographer/ videographer. We knew we wanted someone who could provide both. We had inquired for a quote and after that, he reached out to us. We had a budget so we politely declined his services as we continued to look elsewhere. After sending that message to Jesse, he gave us a call and asked what we were looking for and that he could work with us given our date was on a Friday, and it was more flexible. We discussed all the details, our wants and needs and he gave us he professional opinion on the ideal time he would need to capture everything we wanted. We had several calls over 8 months. He was very responsive via text message. He was very reassuring and even created a timeline with us to break down the times. On wedding day, he was very polite and professional. His team of 3 including himself captured our day in the most beautiful way in just 6 hours! Our photos came back within a week and our highlights and videos came back within 3! They were quick with everything; we received our video and photos for download within two weeks and we were able to relive our wedding day through his photos and videos!

Highly Recommend Jesse!
Where do I begin!
Jesse was incredible and truly a master at his craft. He did a fantastic job capturing all the special moments at my wedding and was so professional! He also did my engagement photo shoot and every single photo was beautiful! Jesse was extremely communicative throughout the whole process, from the engagement photos, to assisting me with my wedding timeline to capturing the best moments on that special day! He is truly a kind soul and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. If you are looking for a professional and reputable photographer for your wedding or engagement shoot, look no further!
I can’t say enough good things about Jesse and would highly recommend Jesse Madison Photography!!

Jesse is Amazing!
Jesse was a delight to work with. He is quick and responsive, no matter if it's around the holidays. He worked with me on creating the best wedding timeline so that it sets him up for success but also helps the day run smoothly. The day of the wedding there were a bit of hiccups (all out of his control) and Jesse stayed calm, composed, and actually helped reassure me.
On first impression I could tell he wants the photos/videos to turn out as amazing as he is envisioning them to be so he will bring up his concerns with you and work with you for the best outcome/solution. Jesse really takes pride in his work and that's as much as I could ask for, especially for a day that we'll be looking back on for years to come. I could not recommend Jesse enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
