I am honored that you've made it here to learn more about the lady behind the lens! I'll keep it simple for you. I am a Jesus-loving, free spirited, detail-oriented, joyful human who absolutely loves my job capturing real, human moments. I live to celebrate and make the most out of every moment!
For more than half a decade, I have delivered joy and lifelong memories to clients all across the country. When I first picked up a camera back in 2016, I quickly saw that God was blessing me with a creative eye and a heart to serve. I have learned so much over the years and experienced so much joy because of God's faithfulness in this business.
This past year, I actually planned my own wedding and married the love of my life, Cole. I am tremendously blessed to have this incredible man of God as my husband and business partner. As we planned our wedding, we gained a deeper understanding of what our clients and their families are going through. So many emotions come with planning a wedding and we know the burnout that often accompanies the planning process all too well. That's why we seek to provide our clients with a unique experience that is both celebratory and systematic. To learn more about the experience we provide you can visit our Weddings page or our Families page. We would love to connect with you and hear your personal vision for photography, submit a Contact Form to get in touch with us!
Your Fun-Loving, Detailed-Oriented, Wedding & Family Photographer
hi, i'm madison
meet our team
hi, i'm cole
I am the other half of the lady behind the lens, I like to call myself the lad behind the logistics of Madison Cole. I manage the marketing, web traffic, billing, scheduling, etc. Madison’s the creative visionary of our business, so I leave the shooting and editing to her!
With my Bachelor's Degree in Business, my greatest goal is to provide forward-thinking ideas to bring about the best customer experience possible. I understand what's required to take a project from start to finish, and most importantly take the stress or confusion off the client’s shoulders by providing clear communication and expectations for your wedding, engagement, or family portrait session.
The biggest thing you should know about me is that I really love the Lord! Madison and I are members of a local church body, and love spending our free time with other believers. I truly get joy spending time with God and being in church. Sunday morning is truly the best time of the week for me! I also love learning fun facts about the most random stuff, watching movies, and reading. My main hobby, though, is endurance running! Every year I do overnight obstacle course races, including World’s Toughest Mudder every November, which is a 24-hour race. I love pushing myself to be the best I can be in all aspects of my life – spiritually, professionally, mentally, and physically.
Madison and I are overjoyed to get to serve our neighbors through Madison Cole Photography. We can’t wait to get to know you better, reach out to us today so we can get started!

how we want to impact you

Jesus is at the center of everything we do. We were both saved from our sins by grace through faith. Jesus met us right where we was at and He loved us unconditionally. We don't profess to be perfect or expect others to do the same, we are simply two broken people in need of a perfect Savior who longs to point others to His beauty + majesty!
We are passionate about God's word, encouraging others, and walking closely with our community. We desire to stay close to Christ and be sharpened by others to grow in my understanding of who God is!

Family is so incredibly beautiful. They are the people you can count on to unconditionally love and support you no matter what. We are SO blessed to have such a God-honoring, fun-loving family.
Madison is originally from St. Louis, MO, while, Cole is from Tampa, FL. We both have family all over the United States. In our most desperate times, our families have been there for us. God has used them in amazing ways that we will never be able to repay them for. As our parents get older and our siblings begin to raise their own families, we see that family is something to cherish every single day. Madison tries to get pictures with our family any chance she can because the moments pass all too quickly. We want to remember these wonderful memories!

God calls us to give and to give generously. We are firm believers in making a difference in the lives of others through our art, time, finances, and encouragement. There are many different organizations and missions that we give to through our business.
This past year we have had the privilege of providing our services to Top Buttons, a faith-based, nonprofit organization that provides charitable and educational resources with the goal of building self worth in young women.
Madison had the privilege of meeting, empowering, and photographing dozens of girls, many of which are in foster care system. Top Buttons is a source of hope in our community and we are honored to partner with them in their mission.

A wise Gandalf once said, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." As nerdy as it sounds, this profound moment in Lord of the Rings gave us a fresh perspective on life. We only have so much time here, we want to spend ours participating in life's daily adventures. Beauty surrounds us every single day, and we don't want to miss it. It's such a joy to get out and experience the world God created with an open heart.
We are all about traveling to new places, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, and challenging ourselves athletically along the way. We love to run. Cole is currently training for a 24-hour World's Toughest Mudder race.
