    Great Wedding Photographer

    Amazing photography. Captured many key emotions of the day and photos that we requested. Tremendous help in directing the photo session and ensuring memorable views were captured. Easy to work with. Knew park location well and with help of a gorgeous day and excellent photo editing, he captured amazing memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommend!

    Jesse Maddison is the Photographer you need

    From our first conversation, Jesse Madison Photography made us feel at ease with his clear communication and professional approach. He gave us great direction throughout the day and made sure to capture every moment that mattered to us. Jesse has a real eye for creativity and vision—he doesn't just take pictures, he takes the time to get the perfect shot. The photos turned out beautiful, and we couldn't have been happier with how they came out. Being able to relive our wedding day through his pictures has made us extremely happy. We'd absolutely recommend Jesse to any couple looking for a photographer who is both kind and genuinely talented at what he does.

    Jesse did an amazing job on 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

    Jesse is Amazing! Highly Recommended!

    Not only is Jesse so talented, he is also so kind and caring. Taking pictures can be so uncomfortable and he really put our nerves at ease and directed us in a way that resulted in epic photos. I would 100% recommend him. We also added on video services and I’m so glad we did. I cried within thirty seconds of watching the highlight video he made. It was so well done and something I will cherish forever. He also guided us on the timeline for our wedding so we would have the best lighting and that was really important as we had the time of sunset wrong and we had booked the ceremony at the wrong time. Because of Jesse’s expertise we were able to adjust everything in time before we sent out the invitations.

    AMAZING photographer and even more amazing results! I found Jesse on Zola and him and his team were friendly, willing to work on schedule, and even helped get family together for certain photos. Not only did he do an amazing job he also delivered my wedding photos within a week! That’s crazy! Everyone in my family was VERY impressed with his work and happy. Thank you Jesse and team!

As a full-time business owner I try to give my full attention and creativity to all projects we shoot. This requires us to limit how many weddings we will shoot per year. Please understand if we are unable to shoot your wedding or event if we have too many bookings on the calendar during a heavy booking season. We try to limit our weddings to about 25/year.
We accept all makor forms of payment (e-transfer, venmo, cash, credit, etc.) .
We always respond as quickly as possible to all inquiries in the same day. Unless we receive your inquiry late at night. In those special cases we respond the next morning.
I do not charge travel fees for local weddings. All weddings within 100 miles of our 92688 zip code in Orange County, CA do not incur travel fees.
As a professional photographer and videographer there are times I get booked for one service only on a wedding day. We love working with other vendors and understand what we need to do to make their job easier. As a member of WIPA, I network with top industry professionals on a regular basis. We will always try and cooperate with your other vendors to make sure they can do their job to the best of their ability. We do all we can to best serve the couple as a team.
Your digital files will be delivered to you. They will then be saved for 1 year. We encourage you to download and back up all your photos once delivered. Your films are available for download on a vidflow website for 10 years. From vidflow you will be able to stream your video to your TV and mobile devices. You must download your video and back it up on your hard drive for safekeeping.
When you book with us, we require a 50% non-refundable retainer fee to save your date. In the case that you completely cancel your wedding, this fee is not refundable. But we always allow the option to reschedule on a date that is agreeable to both photographer and client.
We deliver all photos within 2 weeks of your wedding day. You can expect your weding film to be ready 4-6 weeks from your wedding date. Also, your digital products are delivered online for digital download.
