Madison Ellis Photography

h and professionalism that instantly put us at ease during both the engagement shoot and our wedding day. What sets Madison apart is her talent for capturing those genuine, candid moments that tell the story of your wedding. Her photos really brought out the beatiful colors of our flowers, the natural scenery, the decorations, and bridal party outfits. On top of that, she was able to provide us some photos for us to post on social media within a few days of the wedding day! Thank you, Madison, for being a part of our special day and for giving us photos that we will cherish for a lifetime!

nalized to us, and helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We are in LOVE with all of our pictures from the engagement shoot and wedding day - Madison exceeded all our expectations! She has a great creative vision, but was also super responsive/respectful of our requests, which we so appreciated. Madison's expertise and final product feel like that of a high-end, luxury photographer, while maintaining a really reasonable price point. We're incredibly thankful for her work, and we'll cherish the pictures for a lifetime!

ions to ensure we would be satisfied with our photos. We were her first Indian wedding, and she did a beautiful job capturing our Sangeet, Hindu Ceremony and our traditional western ceremony. It was a lot of work, and she handled it beautifully. We're so thankful she was our wedding photographer. Highly recommend hiring Madison to capture your love!

s feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She is the most organized and hard working vendor we had the pleasure of working with. We feel so lucky to have had her by our side on our wedding day. We were so happily surprised to receive so many preview photos only two days after our wedding. Thank you so much Madison!

oped them out and knows exactly where to be. Basically, she is a super star! Every one of her dreamy photos captured our wedding in the most beautiful way. We are so happy and grateful to her and her second, Ashley, for their amazing work. You rock!

ce we didn't have a wedding planner I owe her a lot). From the engagement session, to helping us build a day of timeline, offering us endless tips, to handling the many personalities of our wedding like a pro, Madison really blew me away. I honestly can't stop looking at our photos, the lighting is gorgeous and she captured every moment so well. I'm so grateful that we got to work with her.

g planner, who so happened to work with Madison all the time!! It seemed like fate. Since we booked her, she made everything so easy from the engagement photos all the way through to the wedding itself. She's patient and kind and helped photographed even our awkward booties into beautiful photos. Her turn around time for photos is very fast, we got our previews within 48 hours and are already blown away by the quality. I will be excited our photo album made by her and already have our engagement photos hanging on the wall printed by her lab. Thanks for the wonderful experience! You won't regret booking her for your photos

l comfortable straight away, especially given that neither of us had been the "stars" of a shoot before. Madison gives gentle direction and was very encouraging throughout. We never felt rushed. She is extremely organized, detail oriented and great with communication - everything you want in a wedding vendor. Not to leave the best to last, but her photos are just incredible! She definitely has a creative eye and our photos turned out better than we could have imagined! Just one day after our wedding, we received a few sneak peek photos - such a quick turn around! We had so many compliments from our family and friends saying the photos looked like they should be in a bridal magazine.

fessionally capture everything. That being said, we also knew we wanted our photographer to be able to capture a "light/airy/bright" style with lots of natural lighting. When talking to other friends who had gotten married, they stressed the importance of being comfortable with your photographer as sharing in those intimate moments being newly married would be reflected in how relaxed we looked in photos. We found Madison and from the start of our interactions with her, knew she would be the perfect photographer for us. She has such a bright and bubbly personality and even before the wedding she shared plenty of information we should consider in day of timing, accessories and props to bring for the details shots, etc. She was so knowledgeable and we loved how she event sent a "Bridal Guide" that we definitely referenced when planning things out. Throughout the day of the wedding, she was great at managing our timeline while not being pushy, as we had a lot of very excited family members and friends who wanted to grab photos with us after our ceremony while my husband and I also needed to make our way to our second venue to take sunset photos. Madison sent us not 1-2, but about 10 preview photos on the Monday after our wedding and they were all so gorgeous we couldn't wait to get the rest of the gallery. She sent the final gallery a day early before the promised four weeks, and they were definitely worth the wait. Madison is skilled at capturing both the finer details and the bigger picture of the wedding. She knew had to pose everyone, from individual shots, to how I should pose with my husband, to how to structure group photos. There were definitely some random requests ("Stroke your favorite flower in your bridal bouquet!") during the day of that I felt skeptical on doing, but am amazed with how they turned out in the final photographs. As someone who feels pretty awkward in front of a camera, she was able to capture everything so beautifully. Caleb and I are forever grateful to Madison for capturing our photos on our wedding day and would recommend her to any of our friends looking to capture their wedding day. We are so excited to print and hang all of her beautiful artwork in our future home. Thank you, Madison! :)

only is Madison an exceptional photographer — with the unique ability to capture both formal and very sentimental / fun/ emotional shots, there are several qualities that truly set her apart, which lead to our ultimate hiring of her for both our wedding and engagement photography. Photography on such a personal day is incredibly intimate - Madison is exceptional at making her clients feel at ease and comfortable throughout the entire process. She is guiding, kind, and immediately made me and my husband feel like we could not only enjoy our photography sessions, but also have fun and be ourselves together in front of the camera. We absolutely loved having her be such an intimate part of our day. Madison goes above and beyond, making the client experience feel personal and consultative. She was a sounding board and willing to provide feedback on colors / look and feel / or any thoughts / advice on the venue, especially if she has photographed there before. For our engagement shoot, she vetted several options for us before we decided where we would shoot for that day, and gave us benefits of each location via email and phone. Madison sent us a beautiful Bridal Guide in the mail which includes her stunning photography, and tips and tricks for the wedding, outside of basic photography considerations, which I referenced often in my wedding planning. Madison is extremely professional and organized — she is on time, sends proactive reminder emails, and ensures all details are reviewed and understood in the vetting and contract process. I especially appreciated Madison's ability to be gently firm on schedule and run of show — she was proactive about sending over a timeline day of and working closely with our wedding planner on any iterations to ensure all parties were aligned on the schedule. She knows how to give herself exactly enough time to produce quality work, and I was so grateful she was able to collaborate with our planner to ensure she had the right schedule for what she wanted to capture while still meeting our timeline goals for the wedding. I truly cannot recommend Madison enough - both for her quality of work and her incredible maturity, professionalism, and beautiful, sweet nature. Thank you, Madison!

our absolute choice for our engagement and wedding day. Madison is extremely talented and experienced, she has that “eye” that not every photographer out there is lucky to have. She is so easy to work with, never makes you feel rushed, and does such a great job at coaching you during pictures (which is something we needed). In addition to being gifted with natural talent and creativity, she is responsible, mature, organized, and reliable – all the important qualities you need in the most important vendor for your wedding. Our venue and wedding day was beautiful, but not the easiest to work with. Despite this, Madison always remained professional, calm, and just went with the flow - always keeping both Frank and I as her priority to ensure we had a wonderful time at our wedding. She is seriously an amazing human with such a kind heart, and we feel so lucky to have had her with us during one of the most special days of our lives. Thank you Madison, for being you.

tos that were soft, elegant, and natural to show my children one day. I am also someone who has not spent much time in front of a camera and was worried that I wouldn't know how to pose or look pretty in photos. These were all concerns I had...until I found Madison! She truly brought my photo dreams to life. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Madison made my (now) husband and me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We had so much fun each time she took our photos! I loved how she wanted to capture natural, candid photos. Her posing directions were always easy to follow and she made us look incredible! My husband and I had to change our wedding plans about 2 months out from our date due to COVID. While we had originally planned a wedding with 150 people, we ended up only having our two families there (a total of 11 guests) and had to change our wedding venue. Madison was so flexible and caring during this time of our lives. She wanted to do everything she could to make the challenging time easier for us. She felt just like a friend supporting us through it all! Though our wedding was not what we originally planned, it ended up being the most intimate, special, and beautiful day of our lives. When it comes to the wedding day, Madison does not leave out any details. When it came to photographing my wedding, she truly captured all the moments. She did beautiful flatlays with important small details like my jewelry, ring, wedding invitations, my husband's tie clip, and boutonniere. She didn't leave anything out! She also had an incredible assistant so I did not ever worry about missed moments. Whenever I show photos to family and friends, they say they can really feel the joy we experienced that day because of how beautifully she captured each memory. Whenever my friends get engaged, I immediately recommend Madison! She is an incredible photographer and an even more incredible human.

d look good with the overall vibe of the photos. She made our experience so fun during the session, and even came up with cute little games for us to play so we wouldn't feel awkward at all. Even my fiance, who has never had professional photos taken of him, had a blast. She never once made us feel self conscious or awkward or like she knew best -- instead, she invited us to share ideas of photos and poses we'd want to do. It was super collaborative, and her quirkiness and bubbly personality just added to our wonderful experience. Plus, she had not one but EIGHT sneak peak photos edited and in my inbox 2 days after. They turned out better than I could've ever imagined. Cannot recommend Madison enough!

lanning on doing one but we decided we couldn't pass up the offer. Madison mentioned that the engagement shoot helps her get a feel for us as a couple before the big day so it helps her just as much as the couple will benefit the extra pictures. She even went out to the field that we chose to do our shoot to see if the tall grass was there lol. That is pure dedication. From the very beginning Madison's communication was on point. I relied on her so much throughout the process. Planning a wedding is so stressful but with Madion's constant communication and kind words I felt more at ease with the planning. I gave her this long ass list of desired pictures and she got every. single. one. On the day of she was so flexible with my suggestions or requests. At one point I totally changed the timeline and she totally just went with it and had a smile on her face the entire time! I'm so sorry girl hahahaha! OH I forgot to mention. I was honestly a little nervous that she had an assistant because I was worried that her pictures would be different but they totally weren't. They really complimented each other. Ahhhhh! Go no further than Madison. You will be sadly disappointed.

nd she stayed with us for 90 minutes and braved some very cold winds with us. The photos turned out WAY better than we were expecting. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Madison!

e who took beautiful natural light photos, could take night shots that weren't overexposed, was within our budget, had a great eye for framing shots, respected our privacy, and seemed like a nice person to work with. We met many photographers who filled most but not every single one of those criteria, and we were starting to worry that we would have to lower our standards. When we got close to doing so, our wedding planner sent us Madison's information! After seeing her work and then meeting with her, we had no doubt she was the person we were looking for. A big thing to remember is that you will end up being around your photographer the whole day, so having someone near you that matches your energy and radiates positivity is so important! Madison was great from that perspective. She was super fun to be around the whole day, and her energy was genuine. Some photographers will send you sample photos during the interview phase, but those photos are really the best of the bunch. When you get your final photos from Madison, so many of them are perfect. From her energy and the photos we received from our engagement shoot, we were confident that we made the right choice with Madison for our wedding. Our wedding photos were the same-- it made it that much harder for us to figure out which ones to share with our family and friends because there were so many beautiful shots! Even the detail shots blew us away. And don't get us started on choosing which ones to print out for our home... We also love how promptly everything was delivered to us, and how Madison kept us in the loop for what and when to expect it. Professionalism matters! Her experience at many wedding venues, and particularly at ours, was also very helpful during our planning phases. She's so approachable that we felt comfortable asking her for her opinions on various design elements for our wedding as well, and she always gave honest opinions. There are few vendors that we can honestly say we had absolutely no qualms or hiccups about -- Madison is one of them. Thank you so much, Madison!!

e is professional, organized, and so so sweet. My husband and I genuinely felt so comfortable around her while she was taking our photos - she makes it fun! She's also such a great help when it comes to building out your timelines too and is always willing to help give suggestions or answer any questions. We just received our wedding photos and we could not love them more! We loved all the photos -- the detail shots, our portraits, family photos, and guests candids. She is extremely talented and we can't recommend her enough!

g planning, our initial plan was to hire photographer and videographer from the same company. After my wife found Madison, we just feel in love with her style. We decided to book her right away and find a videographer later. QUALITY(5/5) After looking at some of her previous work, we knew we liked her light and airy style. We did an engagement session with her 3 months before our wedding and after getting the engagement photos back, we knew we made the right decision. The engagement photos were the best we've ever seen. She is amazing when it comes to using natural light to capture the feeling in the photo. When we look at her photos, it brings us back to the moment and how we felt at the time. Love it! COMMUNICATION (5/5) Madison's communication is great. We communicated mostly through emails and also had a couple of phone calls for the more specific / detailed questions. She promptly replied to our emails and was always available when we had questions. We never felt ignored or worried throughout the entire process. DETAILS / SCHEDULE (5/5) We did not have a wedding planner so I did most of the schedule planning myself. Madison was extremely helpful in suggesting and reviewing our timeline. She is very detailed and knowledgeable with timeline. Her suggestions are very helpful and her recommendations are not forceful. VALUE (5/5) Madison is top talent for a great price. We went with the 8 hrs package that covered most of our wedding, however, we would've loved to have her cover the full wedding. Due to our budget with other wedding items, we had a friend capture some of the non-essential shots. The pictures were good but was not comparable to Madison's quality. If I were to do it over, I would've had Madison cover the entire wedding. OVERALL (5/5) We loved working with Madison - she was by far our favorite vendor in the whole wedding. She did an amazing job capturing the great moments throughout our wedding - looking at the photos makes us feel like we are living the day all over again. Thank you Madison! We couldn't have done it without you.

more on the quiet side so we needed someone that is super easy to work with and for us that was Madison. If there are occasions in the future for a photographer, Madison will be the photographer we would call. In our engagement pictures, we included our two dogs and Madison was so patient with us. I was worried that she was not able to capture my wiggly dog and puppy but she completely blown us away with perfect pictures of our small family. On our wedding day, Madison and Caitlin were wonderful to us, our guest and did an amazing job capturing the big day from start to finish. Our wedding was at Greystone in November. She directed family portraits with ease, made the most of the limited daylight, captured all the important moments to the small details. She emailed us within 24 hours to give us a sneakpeek and we had all of our pictures within 3 weeks. We cannot recommend Madison enough. Her work is stunning and her personality is so easy to work with.

. light, airy, happy and sweet. She is good at utilizing the light to make your photos look amazing. She is also good at documenting the details... I loved all our photos of our wedding invitations to our shoes to our wedding cake topper... They were all so pretty! I also loved all the candid pictures of our guests... amazing! 2) Madison is very organized and good at communication! She helped us out with our wedding day timeline and was flexible in changing up the schedule after we had to make some adjustments. She made sure we stuck with our timeline on the day of... I told her beforehand that I wanted to spend some time with our guests during cocktail hour and she made sure we did! Madison is amazing at responding to emails and texts... which I love about her. 3) Madison is just an amazing person to work with. She is friendly, sweet and just has this positive calm vibe. But she is a professional and will get the job done! Exactly the type of photographer you want! I most definitely recommend Madison as your photographer for any occasion! Just look at her photos... they speak for themselves! Thanks again Madison for our wonderful pictures!

trust that she was capturing all the little details on our big day! To top it off, we got our pictures very quickly and it was so fun to go through the photos and relive the day all over again! I also LOVE Madison's editing style - so much gorgeous natural light and soft beauty. Can't recommend Madison enough!! She was the perfect addition to our Wedding Day Dream Team!!

t photographer I worked with when I lived in NYC, but I moved to California and started to research local ones; I knew she would be the best one out of all the choices. First of all, I love her photography. She captures pictures of light and love. In addition, I felt that her sweet aura radiated from her work. When I met her, I felt immediately that my choice was the right one. She's extremely organized as well, and I think she is more than just your photographer. On the day of, we had natural disasters going on around us, and she was so great at keeping us all together and on schedule. She helped me stay calm and happy despite the chaos. I can't be more grateful to have had her there. I can't wait for her to capture your amazing day; (trust me, she will be the BEST!) Cheers to Madison!!!

d with how quickly she was able to deliver the final photos. All my friends and family thought the photos came out beautifully!
