    Awesome Experience with Mad Love Photography!

    Mad Love Photography surpassed all my expectations! Highly recommend! They did a great job at getting back to me and making sure all my photo requests were met! They did way more than just took photos! They went above and beyond with DJing. They played the best music and got everyone on the dance floor! They made sure every second of the day was captured. When the big day was here they also were a great day coordinator. They helped keep the day moving forward and kept everything on time! On top of allll of that, their prices are so hard to beat! HIGHLY recommend!

    Clay wedding 2023

    Brad & Louise were amazing to work with leading up to and on our wedding day! They went above and beyond with day of timelines, keeping us ahead of schedule and making our reception so incredibly fun! We were really impressed with how well Brad was able to get our 7 month old and dog to cooperate during photos, which is no easy task. They literally made our wedding day the best it could have been, and we have so many beautiful photos from our day! Highly recommend Mad Love Photography ❤️

    In love with Mad Love!!!

    Brad and Louise were so amazing! We recently had gone to a couple friends weddings and the photographers were just not good. We were a little nervous with them being a photographer and DJ Duo, however that just worked out so perfectly! They went above and beyond from Louise running to find an umbrella for me when it started to rain during pictures to Brad getting everyone on the dance floor and to stay on the dance floor. And they even hung with us until the very bitter end of 1:00 a.m. I can't say enough about how amazing these two are, how perfect they made our day and how beautiful the pictures turned out! So many of our friends said how awesome they were the day of and we couldn't agree more. Look no further because Mad Love is definitely the way to go! And on top of how professional and amazing they were, they're just awesome, cool people, so you definitely can't go wrong choosing them!

    The Best of the Best

    My husband and I met Brad and Louise through some mutual friends and we knew they were “the one” after our very first encounter. They are so professional, yet have such a goofy side and they make you feel so comfortable. On our wedding day, they completely ran the show and made sure everything ran perfectly smooth. You will not be disappointed if you choose them for your photography / DJ needs.

    Amazing is an understatement!

    MadLove Photography was absolutely amazing, from the moment we first booked them all the way through to receiving our final wedding photos! They were so organized with everything they did and really helped out so much the day of the wedding. They really make sure to get to know you and understand what you are hoping for in your experience. We had a lot of hiccups with other vendors but between Brad and Louise they helped keep everyone calm throughout the day and helped set me at ease with it all. The photos exceeded my expectations, from the detail shots to the family photos to our individual portraits. To say I’m in love with our photos is an understatement! I HIGHLY recommend them for your big day!

    The BEST in the Biz

    Brad and Louise at Mad Love photography made our wedding experience incredible. They went above and beyond throughout the day in every way possible. Not only did they take the most gorgeous photos, but they also broke down the dance floor and kept everything on schedule and going the way it needed to.

    The Photos: Brad knows what he is doing behind the camera. They got all of the "official" photos that we wanted and then so many beautiful candids of the special moments of the day. Louise ran the show from start to finish, ensuring that every shot was captured and that every wedding party member knew where they needed to be. We absolutely love the way the photos turned out. Showstoppers.

    The music: Brad was amazing at getting the party started and never letting it die. He had a great mix of songs to get everyone going and also made the ceremony music sound absolutely perfect.

    The bottom line: I initially thought the price tag was a little expensive, but I have absolutely 0 regrets with hiring Mad Love Photography for our wedding. These two are incredibly friendly, very professional, extremely energetic, and all-around good people. You will be in good hands on your special day with Brad and Louise.

    Fantastic!

    Louise and Brad are the power couple of weddings. They are so organized and prepared but also are great with spur of the moment decisions! Brad was our DJ and MC and he kept the party going until the end. The photos are gorgeous and we are so impressed.

    EXCELLENT service and true VISIONARY photographer

    I hired Madlove pics to take special photos of my senior pup along with myself to document some personal achievements and goals. Brad and Lou’s creative eyes were amazing in regards to coming up with different and unique ideas, settings and angles. They are very down to earth and easy going so you’re able to really be yourself in front of their lens ( always the goal with any professional pics )
    It was easy and pleasurable experience from start to finish! Highly recommend, they wont dissapoint!

    Excellent!

    We used MadLove for my daughter's senior pictures. They turned out amazing!! My daughter has a very funky unique style and Brad was able to capture her true personality which was very important to us. I would highly recommend MadLove for anyone looking for a great professional photographer!

    Outstanding!

    Mad Love Photography goes WAY above and beyond than just photos. One great advantage is it’s a married couple and you have two people taking pictures at once so you get so many great shots. Louise hangs with the bridal party and snaps away and Brad hangs with the grooms party and snaps their pictures. They coordinate your entire day from start to finish which was such a relief to me. You can add their DJ services for not that much more money which is absolutely worth it! They have music playing while you’re guests are being seated for the ceremony; music for the ceremony; music for cocktail hour and of course music for the reception and dance. There is not one song that they can’t find with music you request. Engagement photos are part of the package, the pictures they take her absolutely beautiful, and creative. You get LOTS OF BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! They are incredible to work with and I truly highly recommend.

    Hiring madlove was... Best decision ever.

    Whenever we reminisce about our wedding day, my husband's parents always say "Remember that photographer and DJ, he was amazing." We, and our families, were impressed with everything Brad and Louise did throughout our wedding today. 
    We hired MadLove Photography before covid-19 was in the picture and we are so happy we did. They were excellent in working with our wedding - after we had to reschedule. We loved the fact that MadLove could do the photography and dj-ing for our big day. Combining the two services was ideal in so many aspects. 
    We are so thankful for all the photos Brad and Louise shared from our big day - and the party they helped us throw. We would highly recommend MadLove Photography for anyone hosting a wedding. From start to finish, Brad and Louise provided an excellent experience.

    A Terrific Team For Our Day.

    Kevin and Sarah (2021)

    We met Brad and Louise at a wedding of our close friends. We noticed their professionalism and commitment to their craft right away. We hired Brad and Louise for our day and could not be happier with our choice. We are super impressed with how our photos turned out and how our evening flowed. It was easy to see that both Brad and Louise are HIGHLY skilled and both love their work. We also didn't initially understand this but the advantage of having two skilled photographers is super valuable. This allowed for multiple moments to be captured at the same time in the day. For example Brad can be shooting the grooms party get ready while Louise does the same for the bridal party. Also a single moment in the same location can be shot at many angles. Brad does a great job keeping all guests happy during the dance. Sarah and I appreciated getting all our guests on the floor and keeping the playlist family friendly. Finally, we super appreciated the overall flow that Brad and Louise provided to our night. Their "MC" roles had us feeling relaxed during our night. They guided our guests through the evening and Sarah and I felt no pressure to be doing that ourselves. We definitely didn't think of that role during our planning, but absolutely appreciate the need and value for this now. Brad and Louise were a great addition to our day, Sarah and I are thankful for their skilled work, professionalism and care that they provided for our wedding day.

    Kevin and Sarah.

    We loved Madlove

    Madlove is beyond awesome to work with! My husband and I first got to work with Brad and Louise when they were shooting my brother's wedding back in September 2019. We both enjoyed how they photographed and decided to also book them as our photographer/DJ based off of how much we enjoyed their photos, presence and overall fun energy! My husband and I got married June 2020 with a small (Covid) ceremony and weren't able to have a reception until July 2021. Brad and Louise were flexible and more than happy to accommodate our 2 part wedding (even a year apart with 2 Covid cancelations in-between). They truly value building friendships and getting to know their clients. Brad and Louise understood the uncertain times during our wedding planning and were always a phonecall or email away when we needed them! We definitely will recommend Madlove to others!

    Photo Success!!!

    We met Louise and Brad through a post asking if any photographers would be willing to do our destination wedding. From the first conversation it was a connection and my husband absolutely wanted to go with them. Throughout the process they were communicative and responsive to emails and questions. We negotiated a fair price and deal for their services abroad, as well as an engagement shoot back home. Louise and Brad made the photography so easy for our wedding and stayed with us through the hiccups (like a last minute videographer addition!). When we got back and saw the photos we were absolutely in love! We appreciated their flexibility of working with us as a destination wedding was new to them. Even though it was a learning process they ran it like the professionals they are and you would think they had been doing destination weddings forever! We wouldn't have wanted to do our wedding day without them! If that is how they do destination weddings in a new environment, I doubt anyone would be disappointed with them for a local wedding!

    Above and beyond don't even begin to describe how amazing they are!!

    Brad and Louise were so amazing to work with throughout the entire process! From the day we meet them we knew it was going to be the best decision we had made because we could tell that they were down to earth, caring, and genuine people; which is our kind of people! Even with me being a terrible client with communication because I work so much they were so patient and flexible with me...way more than they probably should have been lol!
    I think that our review is probably more important than any others too because we meet with them in 2020 right before Covid hit and turned the world upside down. We both went through the emotional ups and downs of the 2020 Covid journey of unknowns as our wedding was August 29, 2020. Brad and Louise were AMAZING throughout this whole period of time!!! Keeping in contact throughout it all, no pressure - only support, and never once any talk of not being able to get the service we paid for (like many experienced during Covid). We were blessed to have them during this time.
    Throughout our wedding experience Brad and Louise went above and beyond! Louise took it upon herself to help by releasing our guests from their tables to get food since this wasn't done by our caterers. In less than 24 hours before our wedding, Brad put together a beautiful tribute for the mother of groom who passed away. We weren't able to complete the video for the mother/son dance and Brad heard about it and offered to do the entire thing because he knew how much it mean to us! It was so beautiful and so kind! Words just can't explain how much it meant to us that he did this for us with no hesitation.
    Having Mad Love as our photographer, photobooth, and DJ was such a bonus! Hands down the best thing was having our photographer there the entire night! We were able to capture amazing moonlight pictures, along with fun goofy pictures. It's also nice to only deal with one company for also these things, with your wedding your brain is already scattered with all the planning so one less contact and payment is a plus! Also, there is no arguments between the vendors because they are the same person haha!
    Overall, we have an amazing experience and we promise you WILL NOT be disappointed!! We have forever beautiful memories because of Brad and Louise as well as a friendship!!

    You need to hire these two!

    Where to begin, because Brad and Louise are truly one of a kind. The best decision I made besides saying yes to my now husband was hiring MadLove photography to capture our special day. The ONE wedding day we had planned turned into a small ceremony and a reception on another day due to COVID. Brad and Louise were there every step of the way, showing up for both days and being extremely flexible with all our wedding plan changes. Their energy is like no other (they were our DJ and photobooth coordinator as well) It was so much fun to have so many pictures of the guests on the dance floor because they were there for the whole night running the music, managing the photo booth but taking photos as well. IDK how they do it, but they are amazing. We LOVE our photos and they truly did a wonderful job bringing our special days back to life through photography. There communication was top notch and trust me that goes a long way when you are trying to coordinate a wedding. I promise you that you will be so happy with Brad and Louise. They truly care about their bride and grooms! Thank you again MadLove! Miss you guys already!

    Unbelievable Photographer

    Brad and Louise were so great to work with. Brad was willing to go with our crazy idea to jump in the lake, in my wedding dress, for our one year wedding anniversary. I can't recommend these two enough. We have had such a pleasure not only working with them, but building a friendship with them as well.

    Family photos

    Louise and Brad have been wonderful to work with over the years for our family photos. We return to them year after year because of the quality work of the pictures, which we are always happy to receive! Brad has done our family photos four times, and on each occasion he has been patient and engaging with our young children. Louise is always responsive and communicates well. The pictures are the best we’ve had anywhere!

    Amazing couple to work with - amazing flexibility during covid times

    You won't be disappointed. We had a recommendation from another couple to go with Mad Love photography. Originally had plans for a big wedding but unfortunately due to covid were forced to downsize and change location hours away from the original venue. Mad love was more than willing to go literally the extra miles to make sure our day was as special as it could be. Overall 6/5. Can't recommend highly enough.

    Simply the best!

    Brad and Louise are an amazing team to work with! We did our engagement and wedding sessions with them as well as some family pictures that my mom really wanted. We also did the photo booth rental, which is awesome because they give you a copy of all the photos taken in the booth that night and had lots of fun props! As for the photo sessions they were amazing to work with. Brad did our engagement/family session on the hottest day of the year. It was 90+ degrees and humid but we still looked great in the pictures and he never complained. My husband and I hate posing for pictures but both Brad and Louise are very good at getting genuine smiles out of people and just made it fun and easy! We also used them for our DJ and have gotten so many compliments from our guests! Brad is really good at reading the crowd and keeping everyone on the dance floor which is what I wanted! He also kept his camera with him and took some great shots of our guests dancing, even late into the night when everyone's had a couple drinks. One of my favorite pictures is the "survivors" picture of all the people left at last call. My favorite thing though from the whole day with them, was that Louise basically became my day of coordinator and made me a timeline and made sure to keep things following smoothly so I had absolutely nothing to worry about. They truly are a great duo, and helped to make our day better than I ever imagined. :)

    Creative Perspective

    I really wanted to select a photographer that was somewhere between traditional and artistic. Mad Love Photography was that perfect balance. The images were beautiful and we appreciated Brad's creative perspective.

    Mad Love Photography - professional and personable!

    We hired Brad Madison to take our family photos in 2014 and were so happy with the experience that we hired him again in 2020 to take our son's senior photos. Brad is very personable and takes the time to get to know his clients. The photos were exactly what we wanted! We strongly recommend Mad Love Photography!

    Best vendor choice we made

    Brad and Louise are absolutely amazing to work with. They truly care about their clients and will work with you to make your day special. Planning a wedding any year is stressful, let alone in the middle of a pandemic. Brad and Louise could not have been more accommodating and understanding as we went back and forth between switching our wedding date. We ultimately decided to do an intimate ceremony this year which Brad and Louise photographed in addition to our reception next year. We are so grateful to have found Mad Love Photography for our wedding. We are thrilled with the photographs we received this year and cannot wait to continue working with them!

    Exceeded all of my expectations

    Mad Love always seems to find the perfect backgrounds, contrasts and angles to get the perfect shots and capture not just the people, but the special moments. We’ve known and used Brad and Louise’s services for our family for years and they just keep continuing to elevate their game. So grateful for them!

    Mad Love Photography

    We very much enjoyed getting to know Brad and Louise, from our first conversation through our wedding day they were so great! We had many schedule complexities not only with our engagement shoot but also the structure of our wedding day, Brad and Louise were able to not only support by keeping us on schedule and capture critical shots but also our pictures turned out so well. We have kept in contact with Brad and Louise and appreciate the friendship just as much as the service they provided.

    Sharing Family "Joy"!

    Brad captured our family "JOY" as we gathered together to celebrate our 45th Wedding Anniversary! He kept the attention of 16 of us as he took photos outside and inside. We would highly recommend "Madlove Photography" for updating your family photos!

    Beyond WOWed!!!

    This dynamic duo is absolutely outstanding. We had them as our photographer AND our MC/DJ at our wedding and I can't even put into words how perfect our day was BECAUSE of them. They did our engagement photos which came out just beautifully. Brad even braved the polar vortex for us running all over Stillwater to get perfect shots- and he sure delivered. The wedding day was absolutely perfect. They showed up early in the morning and stayed until the reception was over, taking pictures throughout the day and jumping in wherever we needed someone, even if it was just a little random task we needed done. Louise put together a day of itinerary that was extremely organized and well thought out specific to our day which was something I hadn't thought about but really appreciated. I truly can thank them for making our day go so smoothly. My now husband and I got to enjoy the day together because they are such an awesome team that kept their high energy throughout the day. We even got a couple of teasers back already, and they are jaw dropping photos. I have every bit of trust that they captured our day in a way I don't believe anyone else could have. I can't wait to recommend them to anyone looking for photography and/or DJ services for their events. Saying thank you doesn't seem like enough for what they did for us. They truly went above and beyond.

    Dream team

    Brad and Louise were an amazing team, doing both the photography and DJ services for our wedding. They were very responsive and organized before the event, responding to emails within hours. The engagement photo shoot was a ton of fun and the photos were amazing. On the day of our wedding, they were outstanding. Everything was organized, they captured every moment, and made taking photos so easy and organized. Their DJ services were perfect, they played exactly what we wanted, had great playlists for the dance, and Brad was a great MC, keeping everything organized and on schedule. They also worked well with our videographer, and were just so much fun to hang out with on our day. So many of our guests commented on how great they were and some asked for their info for a referral. The photos turned out amazing! Brad and Louise were worth every penny, they made our day perfect, and we truly couldn’t be happier with their work!

    Newborn/Family Session

    It was a real pleasure working with Brad Madison at Mad Love Photography. He captured some absolutely amazing moments during our family/newborn photo shoot and made the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable and totally relaxed. Brad went above and beyond to capture a variety of images and spent several hours with us to make sure we had a variety of images we were happy with. He was also patient with our needs in working with a three week old newborn. The photos are stunning and quality is exceptionally professional. Some images resemble scenes/images you would find in a magazine. We definitely look forward to working with Brad again!

    Absolutely Amazing

    My husband and I hired Brad and Louise for our 10/04/2019 wedding and I cannot recommend them enough. They are both truly incredible. They are not only amazing photographers, but they sure do know how to keep the party going, as we hired them for our DJ as well. I seriously cannot day enough good things about them. I am in awe, they were by far our best investment and decision for our wedding. I will never hire anyone else to do our pictures for anything!

    I cannot praise them enough! AMAZING!!!

    Brad and Louise are AMAZING! We cannot begin to praise them enough. They were very easy to work with leading up to the wedding. Quick to respond and really was a huge help with preparing for our big day. We not only hired them as our photographers, but they did our sound, photo booth, and DJ and they killed it in every category. They fit right in with the wedding and added to the fun throughout the day just interacting with them. We have a son and you would never have known it that he was in and out of a melt down during photos. Brad is a wizard with the kids and really knows how to get their attention with a smile. I recommend them to EVERYONE!!! If you hire them I promise you they will not disappoint!

    Brad & Louise are the perfect team and I highly recommend Mad Love. From day 1 the communication has been excellent and every detail thought of and covered. The variety, creativity, and thought that goes into every picture is unmatched. Our engagement and wedding photos blew us away and captured so many small special moments that we were not expecting (tears!). I also recommend the DJ/hosting service. Not only is it one less vendor but it kept our wedding running smoothly and created consistency. Many guests commented that they felt like it was one giant flowing event rather than chopped up into three or four parts. To top it all off they said our wedding reception had the best music!

Everyone had high praises for both Brad and Louise from their sincerity, enthusiasm, creativity, energy, and their efficiency! I would absolutely recommend Mad Love Photography to anyone! They get to you know you as a coupe or family and become part of your family and truly capture your love, happiness, and personalities in their photos!

    Couldn’t be more thankful for the wedding day experience Brad and Louise provided!
    From the first meeting, to the delivery of our wedding photos, Brad and Louise were unbelievable. Not only did we receive an outstanding product, but the fact that it was all focused on the relationship built along the way, led to an outstanding wedding day experience with this team. At first, when Brad mentioned the ability to do photography and DJ for our wedding, we were hesitant. Fortunately we chose to have him do both! He truly added a personal touch when directing our reception based on the relationship he had formed with us, and his ability to have everybody on the dance floor couldn’t have been better. Don’t hesitate to hire this amazing duo!

    Through a chain of referrals we were connected with Brad and due to unforeseen circumstances, we had a very short engagement. He happened to be available on our date and we couldn't be happier with our choice! After our initial meeting, we knew he was meant to photograph our wedding. He truly cared about us, not only as clients but as friends. When we hired him he was in the midst of changing his business to Mad Love Photography to include Louise. Although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting her, she was quick to answer any questions that we had and kept us updated along the way. We also hired Brad to DJ our wedding and it was the best decision we made! Not only did he keep us on schedule throughout the day but he made the reception so fun! Our pictures turned out absolutely stunning, he captured the true essence of what our wedding was - filled with love and laughter! We are truly grateful to have had the chance to work with Brad!

    Flew all the way out to Texas - twice! Wonderful people who do wonderful work. They went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were happy with everything wedding related, not just photos.

    Couldn't be happier - would hire them again in a heartbeat. MadLove to Brad and Louise!

    We had Brad and Louise from Mad Love handle our daughter's engagement and wedding pictures and were extremely happy with the awesome job they did for us!! In my opinion, one huge part of great pictures is being comfortable with the photographers, and that the photographers take the time to be sure this is the case. Brad and Louise had everyone very comfortable working with them, my daughter was thrilled with the results and we would hire them again and would recommend them to all who want not just excellent pictures but wonderful people to work with on such an important day.

    Brad was an absolute delight to work with. Whether you're looking for family photos, engagement photos or someone to capture your special day, I can't imagine working with anyone more committed to doing so. We've used Brad for a few sessions now, and we can't recommend him highly enough!

    Brad did an amazing job at our fund-raising Gala! The photo booth was a big hit, and in addition he took photos of everything else; speakers, people, dancing and literally covered it all. He went above and beyond my expectations and you could tell it was very important to him that we were happy. I would absolutely recommend him for your next event, whatever the occasion. I will also definitely only hire him again when I need a photographer!

    Brad was absolutely great to work with! From the engagement photos, to the planning of the wedding day, and all the way through the wedding he was great. It was honestly like having a photographer, wedding planner, event organizer all in one! He kept the day moving and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. He never stopped moving or taking photos all night, yet he still has more energy at the end of the night than anyone else! The photos turned out absolutely amazing! I couldn't be more pleased with how it all turned out!

    Brad is amazing talent. We not only felt like he cared about the quality of the photos, but the quality of our day as a whole. His energy is refreshing and super positive. He knows how to listen to your vision and make it happen! I highly recommend him to any and everyone!

    Brad is an excellent photographer! Very energetic, positive, and a real joy to work with. He took family photos of us and besides exceptional group photos, he took some candid photos that surprised and delighted us!

    Brad and Louise were fantastic. They were so much fun to work with and did an exceptional job the day of. We had Brad do our DJ'ing, as well. We were a little unsure going in about how that would work, but we trusted Brad's word that it would work. He did a terrific job with that, too, and everything flowed so smoothly. We received a lot of comments about what a great job he did and how much fun he was. I'm sure you can find cheaper photographers, but especially if you are having him do DJ service and photography, the value was excellent. Beyond all of that, the pictures were completely beyond our expectation and we couldn't be happier. We would absolutely recommend them!
