The best decision we made. Right off the bat, while we were searching and meeting with photographers, we had our first initial meeting and I was sold. I was instantly comfortable ...

and confident she was the one, no hesitation. Madison was amazing leading up to the day, and even more than I hoped for the day of. There's a part of the day that is just pure chaos right before the ceremony and somehow she quieted the chaos. Getting photos taken can be so awkward but my wife and I were at ease with Madison. She posed us, but in ways that felt natural and not forced. She's the queen on candids and they turned out to be some of my favorite. Other then the actual getting married of it all, I was most concerned with getting good photos. While our venue was perfect and had all the photo ops, I think we could have gotten married at a dump and the photos would still be incredible. Choose her, pick her.

We absolutely loved Madison. She is extremely talented, communicative and just a wonderful person to hang out with during the photos. Madison was able to make us both feel at ease ...

about the whole process. She was a godsend when I realized that the government shut would affect some of our photo locations in Philly and with some awkward family situations. She even got my husband who is so awkward in photos to look natural! I can not recommend Madison enough!

Julie T

Madison is soooo talented!! We first worked with Madison for our engagement shoot. It was our first time doing a professional photoshoot and she was able to make us feel comfortabl...

e and calm during the shoot. She shot our engagement shoot on film and it was beautiful. We loved working with Madison so much that we wanted her for our traditional tea ceremony and our wedding day. During our tea ceremony she was familiar with the culture and she offered to help when things were hectic. She was super professional and I loved how the photos turned out! Madison also did our wedding day and from the beginning she was on time, very professional, and kind. I gave her my Pinterest inspiration board and she was fully able to execute all my inspirations and more! During my wedding she was able to keep us on track of time and communicate to everyone. She even helped pin my veil when it was falling off or offered to hold my train. We also got our photo preview back the day after our wedding and WOW we were blown away. The photos really captured such a beautiful day and the emotions. I would 1000% recommend Madison to all of our family and friends. She is so professional and her work is beautiful!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Madison for our wedding. From the moment we met her, we knew we were in amazing hands. She’s not only incredibly talented bu...

t also kind, calming, and genuinely fun to be around. On the wedding day, Maddy captured every candid moment without ever feeling intrusive. She struck the perfect balance between giving direction and letting us be ourselves, and the result was a set of photos that truly reflect who we are and how the day felt—joyful, emotional, and full of love. Our portraits are stunning, the ceremony photos are timeless, and the reception shots are full of energy and laughter. We’ve looked through the album a dozen times already and keep finding new favorites. Maddy has an incredible eye for detail and a gift for capturing emotion. If you're looking for someone who will not only document your day beautifully but also make the experience fun and easy, we highly recommend her. Thank you Maddy—we’ll treasure these photos forever.

Madison was such a pleasure to work with. My now husband and I aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera and Madison made the experience so effortless and wonderful for us...

. Her pictures came out stunning!! She captured our day beautifully and can’t say a single negative thing about working with her. She was there to answer any questions with prompt responses and captured all I wanted on our big day. If you’re looking for an awesome professional to capture your wedding or any major events Madison is your girl!! We would love to use her services again for any future photography needs.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Madison Wilson Photography for my wedding, and I truly cannot say enough good things. From our very first conversation to the final gall...

ery delivery, every step of the process was seamless, professional, and filled with genuine care. Madison has an incredible eye for detail and a natural talent for capturing both the big, emotional moments and the small, candid ones that made our day so special. She made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and the results were beyond anything we could have imagined. Every photo beautifully reflects the joy, love, and energy of our wedding. One key trait of a great photographer is invisibility—being present without ever disrupting the moment. Madison managed to be everywhere without ever being intrusive, which we deeply appreciated. When our photos were delivered, the quality truly blew us away. She did such an amazing job that when my sister recently got engaged, choosing Madison as her photographer was a no-brainer. It just goes to show how impressed we were with her talent and energy. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only exceptionally talented but also kind, communicative, and genuinely invested in your day, we cannot recommend Madison enough. We’ll cherish these photos for a lifetime. Thank you, Madison, for capturing our memories so beautifully!

Madison was an absolute gem, one of the best vendor finds from the Philly Brides page! Seriously, everyone should consider booking her. Not only were her pictures absolutely stunni...

ng, but she was also incredibly personable, professional, and worked wonderfully with a nervous bride and groom. She even managed our family dynamics with remarkable ease. Madison's talent is truly endless, but rather than just tell you, I invite you to let her awesome pictures below do the talking.

Lauren G

We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with Madison! From the moment we met, she was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. She made the whole process feel so natural and...

enjoyable, which was so important on such a big day. Not only was she professional, but she went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. For example, when I was struggling to pin something to my dress, she immediately jumped in to help—something totally outside her job description, but she did it with a smile and made sure everything was perfect. It was those little thoughtful gestures that truly set her apart. And of course, the photos are nothing short of stunning! We absolutely love her style and the way she uses color. She made sure to capture every important moment, and we now have beautiful memories to cherish forever. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for not just a photographer, but someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

After speaking with several photographers, we knew from the minute that we met with Madison that she was the right one for us. Neither one of us likes to get our picture taken, an...

d Madison made us feel so comfortable in both the planning process and in front of the camera the day of. She made sure to get all the “required” shots, but also was willing to get creative! We’ve only seen our sneak peeks so far—but they are leaving us salivating to see the rest because they are so beautiful! I would hire Madison again in a second and recommend her to anyone that asks. Thank you, Madison, for giving us an enjoyable experience but also memories that are going to last a lifetime!

Alexa M

Madison by far was our favorite vendor of our wedding experience. From our first video call, we knew that Madison would be the perfect fit for us. From her wittiness, to quirky per...

sonality, it quickly felt as if one of our close friends was taking our picture. Our first session with her was for our engagement photos in downtown Philly at sunrise. We ended up taking pictures on top of a Trader Joe's parking lot and around Rittenouse Square - she got our whole album to us in just a few days and they were STUNNING. On our wedding day, we were so excited to see what else Madison's expertise had in store for us. She truly went above and beyond from helping me bustle my dress, to even giving me film sneak peaks before she departed for the night. We've only received our sneak peaks of our wedding photos, but already she completely knocked it out of the park. If you're looking for a genuine, talented, and personable photographer to capture the true essence of you and your partner, look no further!

My wedding was 5/11/2024 but my planning for my wedding started in 2022. I had decided to go with a lesser-known photographer - at least in the wedding industry - and while I reall...

y liked our engagement photos, I didn't feel their professionalism was up to par with what I wanted. Without going into too much detail, I decided I wanted to switch photographers, so I put out a post to an online FB group. In addition to all of that, my now-husband and I had to postpone our wedding from October 2023 to May 2024. After my FB post, Madison reached out to me and we clicked instantly! I felt so at ease with her and fell in love with her prior work. Her vibe is exactly what I was seeking: bold photography, very natural lighting, lots of emotion, and gorgeous scenery. She answered all of my questions, kept me on track with planning, and made sure he and I were comfortable with the photos we wanted to take. A few weeks prior, we ran into a snag and Madison was all-hands-on-deck!! She really helped solve a problem and I could not be more grateful for her. She got our sneaks to us by the following Monday after the wedding and I just got my full gallery. Every single photo is beautiful!! My mom even said so! Thank you Madison for doing a beautiful job. I am looking forward to working with you again and singing your praises everywhere I go!

Madison came down to DC to shoot some couple photos with myself and my boyfriend. She is communicative, so easy to work with, flexible when we needed to be, and our session flew by...

. I am definitely biased because I went to college with Maddi, but I fell I love with how natural and real her photos look as her business grew. The photos capture us so well, and we will treasure them forever.

Anna L

Madison was incredible. The TL;DR is hire her, hire her, hire her, if you want someone professional, incredibly talented, prompt, detail oriented and easy to get along with. The ...

longer version of our amazing experience: We had a bit of a niche micro wedding, and I was initially debating whether to hire a photographer or not. I reached out to a number of potential vendors to help make my decision; Madison was the most responsive, efficient, and helpful communicator by far. We next fell in love with her natural-looking portraits with a mix of posed and candids. She is unpretentious, so low ego, yet her photos come out with so much class and style and elegance. Leading up to our day, she gave us helpful advice re locations (eg think about a rain option!) as well as time of day (we ended up moving our time forward by 30min to make the most use of sunset - something I never would have thought of). After our day, our families kept commenting on how she made them feel so at ease. We got such incredible photos of a day we will treasure forever. As a bonus - our sneak peak had way more than the 10 photos promised (I think nearly 100!) and the full gallery delivery was thorough and so easy to navigate. We are so pleased and would work with Madison again in a heartbeat.

We hired Madison for our wedding in November 2023 and an engagement photoshoot in February 2022 and we could not have picked a better photographer vendor! She was very organized an...

d fun to work with and the photos turned out amazing. She was easy to communicate with along every step of the way and was always responsive for our questions as they came up. We loved the ideas that she had for the different portrait shots and her candid shots of our wedding guests turned out incredible as well. We cannot recommend her enough!

Lauren T

Madison was truly the MVP of my wedding! She was super helpful during the very hectic morning, and delivered very stunning pictures. A pleasure to work with and a lifesaver!!!

t on my wedding day. We really enjoyed working with her, both in the planning conversations and when we were taking photos - we seriously had so much fun. Madison was so helpful in suggesting poses, and at the same time, really open to our ideas and completely understanding if there were certain poses we didn't want to do. Out of all of our vendors, she was absolutely our favorite - she was communicative, empathetic, adaptable, and easy to work with and she truly helped make our wedding a success. She even showed us how to cut our cake (we were clueless). Several of my friends and family members also told me after our wedding how much they liked Madison because she kept things on track but also kept things fun, which I think says a lot! We absolutely LOVE our engagement photos and our wedding photos - thank you SO much Madison!!!!!

rovided stunning photos. I never had professional photos taken before so having Madison to help guide me through the process and give suggestions helped a lot. Madison was thorough and made sure to capture everything we were looking for.

Lauren A

Madison was our wedding photographer, and she did an engagement session for us as well. We are in disbelief that more people don't know about her because she's amazing! Obviously t...

he quality of her photos are incredible (and she gave us 300 pictures within like 5 days of our wedding and there's 500 more coming)! But she's also just so personable- I feel like a lot of photographers are intimidating and make you feel awkward but Madison makes it fun, supports you, and is a genuinely nice person. I also have to mention that she did SO much more than photography at our wedding- she helped my husband and his groomsmen put on their bouts when they didn't come with pins, helped my mom sow my belt onto my dress after it ripped, rearranged our schedule to accommodate the weather and some crazy mishaps, and dealt with our family! We really couldn't recommend her more.

hoot was something I didn’t realize we would want/need but am super grateful it was included in our package. I had a slightly difficult request for our engagement shoot and Madison made it happen. On the wedding day she showed up with a second photographer (highly recommended a second) and kept us in line and got every single shot we requested. All photos were back to us in the time frame that was promised or earlier. Madison was super professional, always had a kind and encouraging word and anyone would be foolish to get photos from anyone else. Would 100% hire again if I have a need for a photographer. The best!

Kathryn D

Madison was an absolute dream to work with. She is probably the best hiring decision we made for our wedding day! She fielded so many questions from me over email without complaint...

, helped arrange some beautiful engagement photos to get to know us and get us used to being photographed, and calmed my every nerve. I felt so comfortable with her on our wedding day, and she did an amazing job given the wind and cold of a January wedding on a hill. She was a trooper and she took some INCREDIBLE photos. All of my favorite memories from my wedding day are captured beautifully - I couldn't have asked for any better from her, especially for such a good price! Her second shooter matched her style perfectly as well. She's had extraordinarily quick turnaround times for photos too! She got our engagement photos and wedding sneak peeks to us well before the time she told us to expect them. If you need an incredible wedding photographer, BOOK HER!!
