About

On WeddingWire since 2019

We are incredibly honored to rank #1 in the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in OC by Weddingrule.com. We're a husband and wife team that captures photo and video in a way that is beautiful, authentic and timeless. While we approach each wedding with fresh eyes giving you our best effort to create beautiful images and special treatment for your special day.

We have many brides that want stunning photography but do not want to be constantly over posed. That is where we shine as we give you subtle guidance and tips throughout the day to get elegant and elevated photography in a fun and natural way. This is how we get beautiful and genuine emotion in your images as well. We can capture candids as well as gorgeous portraits.

Our focus is on capturing the emotions and love between the couple. Also capturing those emotionally significant people around you on your special day.

About 5 years ago, when my father was diagnosed with cancer, I really shifted to consciously find moments to incorporate loved ones and family members into our wedding photos and videos so you can forever cherish these special moments you shared with the people you love on your wedding day. This includes parents, grandparents and great grandparents. Please tell us about the emotionally significant people in your life you want to make sure we capture on your day.

In addition to our beautiful photos you will love our high quality videos. We use professional audio recordings from your vows, toasts and interviews as voice over in your wedding film.

To elevate your event we use professional spot lights and other lighting during the grand entrance, first dance, parent dances and speeches. The lighting will make your special moments beautiful throughout your day.

We have been awarded “The Knot Hall of Fame" award. This is in addition to "The Knot Best of Weddings" & "Couple's Choice Award" from Wedding Wire and Best of Zola the last 5 Years running.

With 7 years experience in the wedding industry we pride ourselves on the quality of our photography and wedding films.

We capture crisp, high resolution photo images and video for your wedding day. Our Video Packages include a highlight video, your full ceremony and full speeches. All this is delivered in an online streaming platform where you can download them all.

We cannot wait to hear about your wedding plans! Let's set up a call today.

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!

Very professional; delivered more photos than we expected

Our wedding was at Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda on 10/15/23. We hired Jesse for photo and video, and he showed up on the day with two assistants. He sent us 650 photos, and video of the full ceremony and full speeches, along with a highlight video that even included drone shots of the venue.

We wanted natural poses and bright colors, and he delivered. Jesse has a lot of experience and was quick to offer his advice, but still listened to us and the venue staff whenever we wanted to try something different.

Prior to the wedding, Jesse had the fastest response time out of all our vendors. Before we hired him, he made time for separate Q&A phone calls with each of us because our schedules didn't line up during the week. He met with us in person closer to our wedding date and helped us get started on a timeline, and even offered his advice on a few vendors that we hadn't hired by that point.
