New Road Productions (Unique Photos & Touching Films)

we could kick back and let him take the reigns. Not to mention, the pictures and video came out AMAZING!!! We were so impressed with the quality and love that he was able to capture those sweet, candid moments that we asked for. Wes understood the assignment!! Also, he put up with our families and made us all look good while doing so, haha! 5 stars all around!!!

yond for us. On your special day I wouldn’t look any further than Wes at New Road Productions. Our pictures and video turned out amazing. He didn’t stop there though and followed up with us after we received the photos to make sure we were satisfied. Thank you Wes for doing such a great job with our wedding!!

azing photos wes captured! do not hesitate to hire him. you won’t regret it! thanks wes we’ll cherish these memories forever

’t imagine hiring anyone else. Although our day was busy and, at parts, stressful, Wes made the photography part a breeze. He is professional, easy to work with, and, truly, a treat. I’ve already recommended him to anybody I know that’s tying the knot. Hopefully, my review gets seen by potential clients. HAGFD

urned out amazing, especially the action shots, but the icing on the cake for me was his overall friendly demeanor. I still remember how polite he was with the guests. On our recent anniversary shoot, he was still an awesome person to work with, but this time around I got to pay attention more to how skilled he is at his craft- directing us, spotting the light, interesting backdrops, everything. I can’t recommend him enough for your wedding or engagement!

ll night!!! Thank you Wes!!!!!

ing of our wedding day. Wes is an absolute gem of a human and coupled with his talent, is an excellent choice if you care about working with someone amazing. Another helpful note is Wes's patience. Our pups are a big part of our life, so were in our engagement photos and in our wedding. Anyone with dogs knows they can be a challenge to capture the perfect image, but Wes somehow managed to do it AND was patient during the process. I wouldn't hesitate a moment to HIGHLY recommend that you work with Wes if you desire high quality.

graphy and videography services. While he obviously couldn’t do both, we had him take our photos and entrusted him to hire a top notch additional photographer and a videographer to capture our day. He also did our engagement photos. Wes is very down to earth and relaxed, making photos a fun experience for us. We admire his photojournalistic approach to photography and felt that the results from our own special day resembled snapshots of happiness versus the staged and posed photos you may find with other photographers. Beyond Wes being a man of great talent, he is also a man of great integrity and takes great pride in his work. He was so patient with us through every edit we had for our video and worked with us to ensure we had exactly what we hoped for in our wedding highlight reel. All in all, we are so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Wes and to have the beautiful photos and videos he and his team captured to remember forever this most amazing day. Also, a final push for any brides hesitant on spending money on a great videographer - you will NOT regret it, but you will regret not having your vows and other special moments captured to relive again after your wedding day flies by in a blink of an eye.

stin to do my bridal portraits! He was really great at capturing different textures and looking out for the details of our pictures. Our pictures and wedding video was a really important decision to make sense these will be the memories that we can look at for a long time to come. We were instantly put at ease when we had our first conversation with him on the phone. Wes is very thorough and very quick at communicating/answering any questions you may have. He also listens to whatever crazy Pinterest visions that you have for your pictures ( I had a lot! Lol) and makes it personalized to you. Choosing Wes with New road productions was the best decision we made for our wedding!

pictures, we knew we were in good hands. He and his team are super professional, reasonably priced, and approachable/collaborative as well. We ended up running a little over time wise (shocking) but Wes was able to suggest ways to speed things up to get us to our reception as fast as he could. Also, true story, Wes and his team were off the clock and suddenly my husband and I got lifted up on to people's shoulders and without a second thought Wes grabbed his already packed camera and it's probably the best shot of the night. HIRE THEM!

nd when in order to capture those “key” moments. He was great at listening to our desires for the wedding, the specific moments we wanted to capture, and executed everything on the day-of with perfection. We always felt like the priority to him, and he did a wonderful job honoring our wishes and desires. He has a great eye for the perfect angles, as well as the ability to be creative with any scenario. The videos are spectacular, and we will have them forever. If you're on the fence about whether to add the highlight video, DO IT! We love ours so much and it completely captured the feel of the day. It's a great momento to have and is perfect for sharing with friends and family. We are so happy that we chose such a talented videographer!

oto op but he is super sweet and helpful as well! Highly recommend him! :)

round, and knew where to be throughout the night to get the photos of those moments every bride wants to have. From the beginning planning process, Wes was very responsive to all my questions, requests, and really took my ideas serious. Our photos and video couldn't have been any more perfect thanks to Wes and New Road Productions! I highly recommend NRP!

enting moments we may have missed otherwise. Ladies - he also makes sure you are in the right light and look your absolute best! It's also important to have someone on your big day who's a professional and expert but it was refreshing that Wes and his team fit in well with the vibe of our wedding. My sister hired Wes for her wedding and I was glad I used New Road Productions for our wedding too. Go with Wes and you will end up with the wedding photos of your dreams!

highest photography package - engagements, bridals/day afters (we chose to take pictures a month later together as opposed to bridals which was SO much fun!), and full wedding day with two photographers - and a videography package that gave us just the unedited video of the full day. We could not be more pleased with our photos and video and their quality... and for the price! (I wasn't able to find an equally talented photographer for any where in the same universe as Wes when it came to price. Heck, I couldn't even find a significantly less talented photographer in the same pricing universe.) I feel like Wes pretty much let us steal from him. After our wedding day, we ended up with 1500+ EDITED (yes, edited) pictures (PLUS our engagements) and he gave us the right to each and every photo. The quality of work that we received with our photography was top-notch. In addition to all of the "traditionally necessary" photos, we got SO much artwork! The creativity and artistic touches that went into our photography was a huge hit, not only with us and our families, but with our friends as well. (We had friends sharing our pictures all over facebook because they were so beautiful, artistic, and "fairy tale-like".) My husband and I are currently trying to choose three photos that we want Wes to put on canvases, but we're having a difficult time deciding which ones we want. We have hundreds of beautiful pictures of the two of us! What a mighty awesome problem to have. Also, Wes was always willing to work with us and give us just about anything and everything we asked for without nickel and dime-ing us. He traveled to Houston for our wedding and acted like it wasn't a big deal at all. He was always on time, and actually, he gave us a lot more photography time than we even paid for. Long story short, I don't have anything but wonderful, positive, amazing things to say about Wes and his team at New Road Productions. Seriously, save yourself a lot of time, stop looking, and just hire New Road Productions already.

Road Productions for any and all wedding photography.

f services after the wedding.

in those stressy months leading up to the big day. Wes responded to my thousands of questions right away and had really good ideas and suggestions. On the day of, he took us to the prettiest places of the venue, spots that I wouldn't have even thought of! He is professional, is very experienced and just lovely to work with. Here is something I wrote to him after we received the link to all of our pictures: "I cannot thank you enough for being there and making these gorgeous memories of our day. You have a very good eye for taking pictures at the right time and are so professional - it shows and it was just great to work with you the day of as well as all the prep work. I know editing these must have been a lot of work too - just know that we really appreciate it!!!" Would recommend New Road Productions to anyone!!!

corners on as you are putting 100% trust into someone to capture a day you want to remember for the rest of your life. If you don't know this on your wedding day time flies, you have a million and one things to do, people to see and thank, cake to cut, vows to recite, and just an incredibly hectic schedule so you need fantastic pictures to remember it all by . Wes Shephard at New Road Productions was our guy! We loved the pictures he had on his site, and the raving reviews. We booked him immediately! On our wedding day October 17th 2014 from start to finish he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is extremely professional, has great attention to detail, very creative with his work and has an eye for beauty. As expected everything happened so fast during the wedding that is was all a blur for us but thankfully Wes was there to capture all of our many many amazing moments. Hell even moments we didn't know existed until we looked through all of our pictures. We received a sneak peak of a few of our pictures which we sent for Christmas cards, and presents for family at Christmas and boy were we excited! The day we received all of our pictures it felt like it was our wedding day all over again. So many amazing shots, of us, the family, friends, venue and so much more we just didn't expect to see or even know he took. I have had my pictures for a couple weeks now and I swear I have looked through them hundreds of times. Wes really exceeded our expectations. All of the family and friends have complimented on the quality, creativity, beauty, and quantity of the pictures (730 to be exact). I can't say enough great things about New Road Productions! If you are looking for a FANTASTIC, CREATIVE, PROFESSIONAL photographer for any special occasion in your life go no further and book New Road Productions you won't be sorry! (Wes Shephard EMAIL: NewRoadProductions@gmail… 512.568.5933) Thank you x's a million Wes at NEW ROAD PRODUCTIONS for capturing the best day of our lives!

ew Road Productions for both our engagement and wedding photos. We would recommend them to all couples looking for a photographer!

might not initially see that it's a cool photo, but when we see the end product, it's amazing! He did both our engagement photos and wedding. His black and white photos seriously make me want to cry (i.e. a happy cry). They remind me of Ansel Adams! I did a lot of research and met a few photographers before I found Wes. The other photographers seem very arrogant and shady. Wes is super humble and really down to earth and fun to work with. The best part is, he laughs at my stupid jokes. :) I would definitely ask Wes to do our future photography needs - perhaps an anniversary photo session.

rned out! Do yourself a favor and hire New Road Productions!

t advice on things you wouldn't always think of like complimentary colors of clothing for certain backgrounds and lighting. Not only did he take the time during our session making sure he got all the right shots, but he was also very creative in finding picture moments that we hadn't thought of. He's open to trying different angles to get that incredible picture you can't wait to frame and makes you feel at ease throughout the entire process. Wes was very professional and had our pictures to us right away. There were so many great pictures, we couldn't pick a favorite. Thanks Wes!

ended up using one of his pictures for our save the date postcards and another we printed on canvas because we loved it so much. Highly recommended!!

rapher. Family and friends all loved the pics!

ns and requests and most of all, kind. The quality of all my photos and video have been better than I could have imagined! Not to mention, we received more photos then I thought possible :) Our wedding venue was four hours from where we live, and with each scheduled appointment, whether it was engagement photos, bridals, etc., Wes was flexible, always early, and made sure our time was well spent! On our wedding day, Wes and his staff made us feel so special and captured every single moment. If we could do it all over again, we would not even look for another photographer! I can only hope we need Wes to take pictures for us again in the future :)

hotos. He captured every single moment we wanted captured and then some. He took so many beautiful shots of my husband and I all around the venue. I've had so many people tell me how amazing my wedding photos are! His services are 100% worth every penny. It's hard to find a professional photographer who is so talented and budget-friendly. We love how he lets use have complete access and printing rights to all of the photos. He put them on a website so that our friends and family could all view the photos and purchase any directly from the website if they wanted. He gave us a USB of all of the photos after the wedding and it came in a gorgeous keepsake box. The video was so perfect. We opted for a non-edited video, but Wes still took the time to create us a beautiful DVD case with our wedding photos. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that the video was edited for scene/view point changes and some parts were edited to be in slow motion for emphasis. Wes has so much pride in what he does, he will not leave anything unfinished. Out of all of the vendors you book for your wedding, your photographer/videographer is the most important. My husband and I are so glad we chose to use Wes with New Road Productions.

nervous bride planning from a distance, it's great when your vendors are responsive! - Great value. We opted for video and photo and really do not think we could have gotten a better deal. - Wes is fantastic. Wes took the photos for us at the wedding. You know how you hear horror stories about a wedding photographer being a total creeper? Wes is great because he has an artistic vision, but he isn't pushy. He isn't uncomfortable or awkward to be around. He is an all around nice and polite guy and kind of blends in when he needs to and just captures the perfect shots. - The photos are amazing. So, just like any wedding photographer (so I've heard) the photos do take longer to get than we would have liked. The suspense was killer! But when we got the photos, we were so thrilled. The photos are amazing. Beautiful artistic shots with great lighting. We had a daytime wedding and Wes really captured the lighting and overall feel of the venue. Great action shots during the reception. Took photos of the small details (food, centerpieces) that I missed just because the day was such a blur! Captured a lot of unforgettable moments. - The video is great. I was on the fence about getting video (just because of the added expense) but my honey convinced me and boy am I glad! The photos are great but the video truly captures the feel of the moment. Unforgettable. The videographer did a great job. Overall, Wes added to our perfect day being absolutely perfect. In fact, we hope to use him for future family photo shoots. :)

wanted. The day of, he and his assistant showed up early and they were incredibly professional. He took SO MANY pictures! Seriously, you will not be short on photos of your wedding. The pictures were gorgeous, and he got a great mix of posed and candid pictures. He is very adaptable to the surroundings as well. This was his first time shooting at my venue (TerrAdorna) and he came up with some beautiful shots. At one point during the reception he had my husband and I go outside under this lit gazebo because he thought it would be a pretty picture. It was an amazing photo - probably my favorite one. It looks like a postcard! It was a little expensive, but definitely not overpriced for the services he provided. I would definitely recommend Wes!

am so so very pleased with each of the shoots we had with him. Our wedding pictures turned out PERFECT! Exactly what I had envisioned. I would highly recommend Wes for anyone looking for an amazing photographer. In fact, one of my best friends is using him in her wedding in June, as per my recommendation! Use Wes!!!!! You will not regret it!

actly what we wanted. We didn't want posing pictures so we told him to capture moments and we did it with little effort and without intruding the guests and us. He was sneaky and great at appearing at a moments notice to take the pics we wanted. His prices were super reasonable compared to an extensive search of photographers my wife did. He also takes great pictures without making them look to Instagram or fake. The photos he took were as real as the great day we had! Thanks Wes!

tographer who not only fit in our budget but who would also give us the rights to all of our photos to print. We ended up picking one of the more expensive packages which included our engagement, bridal, and wedding portraits...as well as video footage from our big day! I absolutely recommend doing this package because these are memories you're going to want to treasure forever! Wes was always on time and more than patient to listen to our suggestions, and even made the trip all the way out to our lake house in Canyon Lake for our engagement session! We are especially having a difficult time choosing which pictures to frame and display in our home (which isn't a bad problem to have LOL) because they are all just perfect and STUNNING! I especially appreciated the multiple copies of DVD's which included our pictures and video for us to give to our families. Wes, thank you so much for working so hard, you made this aspect of our wedding so easy and non-stressful. I hope you continue doing what you're for a long time, you are truly gifted. All the best, Lauren and Nick Postler

ed several photographers before fate intervened, and (just like you are doing now) I found these reviews on the Knot. First of all, you will not beat his pricing. Period. Second, his quality and precision is unparalleled. For the guys out there, he is a dude's dude, and made my hate-to-take-a-photo hubby take hundreds of photos I will treasure for a lifetime! While Wes looks like he could rock out in true Austin form, he is a complete professional and takes his craft seriously. Third, he is reliable, prompt to respond, and chooses true professionals as his second shooter and videographer. So do yourself a favor, call Wes, book him for engagement pics, wedding photography, and the most economical videography package. No, I am not in any way related to Wes or benefit at all from this post. I just want to pass on the gift of a truly exceptional vendor. Now check this off your 300 item to-do list and grab yourself a glass of wine. You will look hot on your wedding, and Wes will make sure you never forget it!

ng). He answered e-mails promptly and was super easy to work with. He showed up right on time the day of the wedding. He was scheduled to start the guys photos but the guys were not in the room on time and were running behind, so at first it was a little chaotic. Wes was super patient and very professional from the beginning up until the end of our wedding day. Wes is super laid back and let me tell you the day of your wedding can be super stressful, the last thing you need is an uptight photographer. Wes goes with the flow and he makes sure that you get the pictures that you want. The pictures he took turned out amazing. Wes caught every moment of our wedding day. It was like re-living the entire night all over again. I couldn't be more happy with the pictures and I highly recommend Wes. He has reasonable prices and he was awesome to work with! Thank you, Wes, for capturing one of the most important memories in our life and doing such an awesome job! : )

eryone commented on how he was all over taking pics.

fessional and worked in a timely fashion so we didn't take to long after the ceremony. All of my pictures were AMAZING!! He really understood the best spots and how the sunlight hit to make us all look great!! I would highly recommend New Road Productions to any friend for any occasion that requires a photo genius!!

vious reason is her pictures turned out absolutely amazing. The other reason I wanted Wes was because of the way he acted on the wedding day. He arrived extremely early, caught every moment possible and more, and was the only non stressful vendor to deal with in the wedding. He is a nice, laid back guy that gets the stress of the wedding day. He was professional and did his job to the fullest without getting in the way. After being in 4 weddings in a summer, believe me, all photographers are not like this. He exceeded my expectations on my wedding day and for a VERY, VERY fair price compared to other photographers in the area. Better quality, better price, more enjoyable to be around- hire him!

e and comfortable, I could not have made a better choice. He did my engagement pics and they were fabulous as well! I would recommend him to everyone!

oting locations. B) Friendly, personable, kind and patient. C) Knowledgeable about his craft and is very creative with the lighting and the structures available. D) Uncommonly reasonable with his pricing. You are getting far more than you pay for. I chose the largest package as well as video and still didn’t spend as much as the average photographer’s initial investment. He should be charging much more…and I will continue to use him when he chooses to do so. E) The only photographer I will use from this day forward. In fact, I have already hired him to photograph a party for us this summer. True story...I saw New Road Production on "the knot" and only perused the photos, and subsequently, the website because on of his brides was someone I knew...and do not care for at all! But, I checked out everything, loved his work and found his prices more than reasonable. I met with him a few days later and signed the contract that afternoon. Everything went seamlessly. I even feel that I've gained a friend. In a nutshell, you aren’t going to find a better photographer. The end.
