    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!

    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!

    Mad Love Photography's reply:

    Thank you so so much for your very kind words Kait, Brad and I had such a great time at your wedding. Xxx Love to you and Colton!

    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.

    Simply Fabulous!

    Louise and Brad were a dream team to work with. They listened to what we wanted and delivered it perfectly. Not only are their photos amazing, they are also an absolute delight both at the shoot and throughout all their communication! I will definitely use them again and recommend them 100%.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Mad Love Photography's reply:

    Hannah, Thank you so much for your very kind thoughtful review. Looking back at the photos reminds me of what an amazing day you both had. Thank you guys for being awesome people! Love to you from Brad and me xxxx

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!!

    Mad Love Photography's reply:

    Lisa and Joe,
    This truly makes our hearts so happy and Thank you so much for your beautiful words.
    Much love from us both xxxx
