Ashely and her team were awesome to work with! I only worked with them during the ceremony for V M wedding on June 14, 2025. Her team was kind and very respectful when plugging into my equipment to record audio for the client's ceremony video. Ashley's charisma and charm definitely helped her to maneuver and make all of the couples family move efficiently from what my team and I were able to see when breaking down!

Madison Leigh Photography works with couples to ensure that each part of their Wedding day and the Wedding Process is captured to showcase the couple and their love beautifully.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Madison because she was an Alumni from same school, UCF, as me. We booked her to do an engagement shoot (an hour outside of Orlando) and our photos turned out absolutely amazing. From that one interaction with her, it really felt like we knew her our whole lives. She is super nice, personable, and made us feel very comfortable right away. She also had so much knowledge about the area, and any questions that we had regarding the shoot. She planned and timed everything out so that we could get photos at one location, and then sunset photos by the beach 30 min away. And then when we were looking for photographers for our wedding (in Philadelphia), it was a no-brainer that we wanted to book her again to capture our big day. She came halfway up the coast and played a large role in making our day perfect. We planned the photography from 1000 miles away, and she was really communicative and helpful about the picture planning, and also just wedding planning in general. We ran into a timing issue with how the day was going to work out before the ceremony, and she helped us navigate that, and she worked to keep us on track throughout the night for the different photos that we wanted. She knew what to do & what not to do in the Church. She also worked well alongside our videographer. Ultimately, we are very happy with our experience with Madison, and the wedding photos she took turned out absolutely amazing.
