About Madison Wilson Photography

Madison Wilson Photography

Owner + Founder

Hi! My name is Madison, but you can call me Maddi. Raised in Maryland, I've lived in Colorado, South Dakota, and Germany. I now live in San Diego with my husband and our two dogs. I've always had a love for photography and I feel privileged to bring my passion to life. I want my photos to capture the genuine feeling of the moment and to reflect you and your story.

Let's be honest - having someone put a camera in your face and going "say cheese" can make anyone feel a little weird. Even if you're feeling awkward, don’t worry! I'll work some magic, throw a little humor in, and help you feel ready for the picture perfect moment. I'll work with you, however that looks, to make sure you're comfortable with everything. Based out of Philadelphia, available for travel to wherever you are. With love, Maddi

    Add Madison to your wedding team!!!

    We cannot say enough amazing things about Madison! From our very first call, she was so friendly, thorough, and answered all of our questions. She was always responsive throughout the wedding planning process and has such an incredible attention to detail. My husband and I are not used to being in front of the camera, but Madison made us feel so comfortable. We are definitely the type who needs direction when it comes to posing, and she guided us through everything during both our engagement session and wedding day. She truly takes the time to get to know her couples. Our entire wedding gallery came out absolutely amazing. I’m so in love with our photos and find myself looking through them and re-living the day all over again. During the planning process, I realized how important having a great photographer is, and I am so happy that we had Madison on our team. For any future events, Madison will always be my first choice for photography. We are so grateful she captured our wedding day and would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Best choice we made for our wedding!

    Hiring Madison as our photographer is as the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Not only is her work high-quality and exactly what we wanted from our photos, she is just an awesome person and fun to be around (which is so important when she’s with you all day long)! We had so much fun and a sorely loved our engagement session with her, so we knew the wedding would be the same and it was. Madison has a special ability to balance being extremely professional but also bring a friendly, chill, relaxing presence that we so appreciated on our day. She also got us SO many preview photos only a few days later when we worked 3 back to back weddings over our weekend. Do yourself a favor and hire Madison!

    Madison is THE BEST

    You simply cannot pick someone better for your wedding day. Beyond being an incredible photographer, she brings such a fun energy to the day, is timely, and she is so SO easy to work with. She made us feel so comfortable posing for photos and made the many, many photos you take on your wedding day so much fun. We cannot stop staring at our preview gallery, she captured the emotion and feeling of our day perfectly and put the best day of our lives into photos we'll cherish forever. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Wedding Photographer

    I cannot recommend Madison enough for any photograph needs you have. She completed our engagement shoot and was so patient with us and our reactive dog. She made us feel so comfortable and did a great job recommending natural posing and also fun, candid ones. She has great communication and was quick getting our photos to us. She stood by my side on the day of my wedding and made the whole process so stress free. She pulled us for pics while also respecting our time. Just from the sneak peek of our wedding photos I can tell she did an amazing job. It felt like we had a talented friend with us throughout the whole wedding process. I will definitely recommend Madison to our friends and family and use her again for any other photos we need!

    We Loved Madison!

    Madison covered our night before our wedding and did an amazing job. She captured everyone seeing each other for the first time and kicking off our wedding weekend so artfully - the photos all capture personalities and we can feel the joy coming through the images. All night, she took candid shots without being in anyone's faces or interrupting any conversations, but she was also available any time we wanted a specific shot with a guest. It felt so natural having her there, like she was one of our guests - and given how easy she was to get along with we wish she was! We had such a natural and fun time with her, and she was so easy to work with before and after the event. We also found she was very affordable when shopping around. We're so lucky we found her and love the final product.

As soon as you have a venue and a date, reach out! Couples typically book me about 1 year their wedding date. Please of course still contact me as soon as possible to learn about my availability, even if your wedding date is sooner than that!
I have shot many weddings as a solo photographer. Depending on the size of your wedding or what you're looking for, I have several photographers I work with so you can always have a second shooter. Let's talk more about the logistics!
Absolutely. I edit all photos; no outsourcing. All images delivered to you will be fully edited in my style.
I deliver sneak peek photos within 1 week of the wedding. For the full gallery, my turnaround time depends on the season. You can expect the full gallery within 8 to 10 weeks of the wedding, along with a USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
I do! I’m happy to provide a certificate of insurance to your vendor upon request.
For an 8 hour wedding day, you will receive a minimum of 600 images. You can expect 75 to 100 images per hour of photographing! This estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
