Being a photographer myself, I am very picky. From the day i first spoke to Whimboy about our wedding I knew he was the photographer I needed to have. He is an all around friendly, family-oriented, and talented guy.
Whimboy was the best photographer a couple could ask for at their wedding! He was on top of all the important moments, listened to my photo ideas and made them happen, and our families raved about how much they loved him as well when he took their photos! He truly was a huge and special part of our day!
Not only was he awesome the day of, but leading up to the wedding we talked frequently about the shot list, timeline, and he was always quick to answer all my questions.
I can not recommend him enough! Thank you from the bottom of mine and my husbands hearts for making our magical day even more magical.
My wedding was the third that Whimboy has shot for my family. In typical fashion, Whimboy was personable, energetic, and fun! He did a great job with all aspects of documenting our big day. We’ve loved working with him and are very happy with the photos he delivered!
Whimboy was the perfect photographer for our big day! His personality made us so comfortable in front of the camera and we couldn’t have been happier with our pictures. So many of our guests and bridal party said how fun he was to work with too! We love Whimboy and are so grateful he was our photographer!
Where do I start-- Whimboy and Celeste are amazing! First of all, Whimboy stuck with us through a wild ride of 3 wedding cancellations due to COVID and then a totally unconventionally micro, micro wedding. Because most of our friends and family could not be there, our photos were so important and we really wanted them to capture all those joyous candid moments. Boy, did they deliver! They were totally game to hike the Billy Goat trail at Great Falls and humor us as we went kayaking in full wedding attire! Whimboy has such a warm personality that he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He has an incredible eye for finding the perfect location for a shot. Best of all, Whimboy and Celeste are just great people. They managed to be both incredibly professional and also feel like friends. We just got our photos back and our only problem is that we can't possibly choose our favorites--we love them all! My advice? Book Whimboy now, check it off your to-do list, and rest easy knowing you made a great choice.
We hired Whimboy to do our wedding photos and chose the Bliss Wedding Package. He is really friendly and cheerful, and really gets people to have fun during the photoshoots. We were looking for a more candid/photojournalist vibe and a few "traditional" portraits with the family. Our photos turned out great!
We really appreciated Whimboy taking the time to get to know us; we had a pre-event Zoom meeting so he could get a feel for us and ended up chatting for quite a while. We were also happy that he was already vaccinated and very COVID-concious since some of our wedding guests are a bit vulnerable. Another perk is that he takes Venmo/Zelle! Thanks so much for making our wedding day so memorable, Whimboy!
It’s very hard to put into writing why you should hire Whimboy to photograph your special day. For our micro wedding of 40 guests, it was extremely important the only one wedding vendor we were going to have, a photographer, would make us feel comfortable. Let’s start with how he’s different. He took time with us to video chat and learn about us before we even talked wedding details, packages and pricing. He allowed us into his life and shared details of his career and his family, and truly was just an authentic person we immediately wanted to capture our love. He made his intentions clear- it was about capturing our story and the night with our family. He made it known this was art, and something he felt very strongly about doing right. He felt more like a friend than a vendor and there was no point in looking elsewhere.
Come to the day of, he was so calm and inviting. He allowed the day to go as it was meant to, but knew when it was time to be structured when there was “perfect lighting” or when “this would be a great shot”. He knew how to direct us when he needed to. Our family and friends adored him, he truly fit right in. Many moments we didn’t even know he was there- he was taking candids and capturing all the interactions we will treasure forever. His work is truly art and we are forever grateful.
If you are looking for stunning photos that look like a fairytale- pick a venue that speaks to you and your partner and choose Whimboy to photograph the day.
Whimboy did awesome work shooting my elopement photos. His keen eye for settings and creative use of perspectives and shallow depth of field created truly elegant shots. Additionally, his easygoing and playful disposition made the experience fun for my wife and myself and added much warmth and emotion to the photos as well. Celeste did a wonderful job with my wife's makeup, and her expertise added extra class and sophistication to my wife's expressions. Highly recommended!
So wonderful to have Whimbit take our 40th wedding anniversary photos! He is such a great photographer and even director with excellent ways he could draw out our best smiles and poses! Would not hesitate to get him again and recommend to all my friends who want high quality photos for their events.
Whimboy was super easy to work with. I usually feel awkward during photos and he made everyone feel at ease and comfortable. The photos came out beautifully especially the candid ones! We had a lot of fun working with him. I definitely recommend him to anyone!
Wonderful experience from start to finish. Whimboy has a way of putting you at ease and capturing the natural candid moments, as well as being really fun. He was also really responsive. The pictures are beautiful and absolutely everything I wanted for a lasting memory
Simply put, you need to book Whimboy Photography today! Both Whimboy and his wife Celeste share an amazing vision towards their work and made the wedding such a memorable experience. On top of that we have countless quality photos to look back on! They both take the time to get to know the client and are extremely friendly. By the time of the wedding, we saw them as good friends which made the whole experience smooth and natural. If you are looking for a balanced mix of posed and candid shots, this vendor is the perfect fit for you! They were there when you needed them to make sure we stayed on track but were not obtrusive at all. Even during the era of COVID, they will make your special event seem like everything is perfect and maintain safety at all times! 10/10 would book again!
If you are in need a photographer, look no further. I am not one for taking photos and was honestly dreading to have to do an engagement photoshoot (thinking it would be awkward) but Whimboy made it enjoyable and fun. He is a great photographer and I would definitely recommend him. Thanks for the great photos man and looking forward to our wedding!
Whimboy is just the best!! He took our engagement photos right at the start of COVID and was very accommodating working with us to move our wedding date. We were looking for someone who was relaxed, easy going, and made us feel comfortable. He is exactly all those things and our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. He truly cares about his clients and took the time to get to know us to make sure our personalities and relationship came through in the photos. His wife, Celeste, is also my number one make up recommendation and they work together so well. Book Whimboy and you won't regret it!
Whimboy took my bridal photos last July and family photos just last weekend for my parents’ anniversary! Whimboy made us feel comfortable throughout the photo shoot, made us laugh and smile and perfectly captured those moments. The photos came out beautifully and I can’t help smiling everytime I look at them. I highly recommend him. Thank you Whimboy!
We love Whimboy and Celeste!!! They are true professionals and masters of their craft. Not only do they take STUNNING photos, they are really nice people and are experts in making people feel feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whimboy and Celeste showed up to our wedding on time, and, like other reviewers have said, were everywhere all the time but never noticed by anyone. Seriously, they were so unobtrusive but still managed to be really warm and friendly to everyone all while capturing such amazing and thoughtful shots! While I absolutely loved the posed photos, some of my favorites are the more candid ones; they were able to capture everyone's emotions so beautifully. Whimboy and Celeste really made our wedding so happy and memorable - I highly recommend them for any photography needs!
We recently got married and wanted to share our amazing experience with Whimboy. During our initial search, we spoke to and requested multiple recommendations. We also read through countless online reviews and found Whimboy to consistently be on top of every list available, modern, candid, and fun.
After booking Whimboy for our event, we found working with him and his wife, Celeste, to be completely stress-free. They were both proactive, asked all the right questions, and a perfectionist throughout. It was clear they were both experienced and walked us through many aspects we quite frankly didn’t think of.
Whimboy’s style is what I’ve been looking for and wanted, and until now, could not stop looking at the photos. We didn’t know half the time what was happening until he shared the photos with us and we’re really happy that he was able to capture all those moments!
Celeste did my make-up and she did not leave my side. She was there throughout whenever retouch was needed while Whimboy took the portraits. I don't wear make up often and she was able to get the look and feel that I was looking for.
Our evening wouldn’t have been so perfect without their hard work and dedication. Working with them is the best combination you can get when planning a wedding!
Thanks Whimboy and Celeste for making our wedding day so memorable. For those interested in finding a trustworthy (dynamic duo!) professional & reliable photographer, and a make up artist, for a wedding (or special event), we definitely recommend them to help you enjoy a relaxed and unforgettable experience!
Whimboy took our engagement photos. We met him before the photo shoot to discuss what we wanted. We took photos at the Lincoln Memorial and reflecting pool. He was early to the photo shoot, took a number of different shots, got the photos back to us quickly, and the photos turned out great.
Whimboy was professional, fun, and his vision was perfection. He was wonderful with my children, and those unruly adults! 🤣
Whimboy would be a great addition to your wedding!
I have only amazing things to say about Whimboy. Hands down, he is the best photographer out there. He is personable and able to put even the most picture-reluctant people at ease. And the photos he takes! He is everywhere all time, but never noticed by anyone. He is the ultimate photographer, and he took so many fabulous photos! We found ourselves wondering how he got some of the wonderful photos he did. He even captured amazing photos of my husband and I dancing - action shots like that are so hard to get. Looking through the photos was like being at our wedding all over again.
Whimboy and Celeste were outstanding! They were punctual, super friendly, and most importantly, took some really great shots! I would definitely recommend their services!
My sister(bride) was feeling tense during her special day--understandably--and the weather was gloomy the whole day. Whimboy and wife made it all work. They captured all the special moments and even went out of their way to make my jetlagged daughter (toddler) smile.
A true hotographer who makes and captures moments. I would highly recommend him
I don't even know where to begin with all I have to share about this company! My first experience with them was for my daughter's wedding. Initially, I didn't even know Rey was the photographer because he blended in beautifully with our family. His level of professionalism, his sense of humor and unmatched ability to create photo memories is unlike any I have ever experienced. He and his team have the amazing ability to turn your special day in to an experience of a life time. In the end, he provides a finished product in record time, containing some of the most breathtaking photos that help to recapture your special day all over again. Before you select another photographer, I would highly recommend you select Whimboy Echavez Photography. You will not be disappointed!
Whimboy Photography captured amazing photos of my brother and his beautiful wife. Not just of them through tears and of joy and laughter but also of the guests, me being one of them! His photos are bold and clear. His personality is very down to earth. He is not one of the photographers that pushes his business on to you, you just want to ask him about it yourself; especially after you see his work. Not just weddings but seeing his view on family portraits brings him to a universal field. Truly a company that will be around for years to come!
My wife and I could not be more happy and impressed with Whimboy and his work. He’s talented, professional, and extremely warm as a person. We initially met him at a coffee shop to discuss our wedding logistics and hit it off at once. He communicates punctually and professionally and definitely keeps you in the loop. Our photos came out beautifully and definitely captured the best day of our lives. He’s able to bring out the best in people, lighting, and environments. He made our wedding day much more memorable. You cannot go wrong with Whimboy and please get him for your next event/wedding.
I don't have enough words to articulate how INCREDIBLE Whimboy and his wife and partner, Celeste were for our wedding!!! The photos are absolutely breathtaking and literally, we have so many to choose from - it's unreal. Before we chose him for our wedding, We met Whim for coffee and had such a blast talking with him about life, family, and what drives him in capturing awe-inspiring shots. Even in a half day shoot, he captured more than we could ask for and beautiful shots of my friends and family. I could not have asked for a better photographer. If you want gorgeous, magazine worthy wedding pictures, THIS is the one!
Highly recommended! We cannot say good enough things about Whimboy and his wife Celeste. Very professional, flexible, and courteous through the entire process. Both are incredibly warm and fun people who make you feel comfortable and only made our wedding more memorable and enjoyable. Initially met up with them at a bookstore for coffee and immediately felt at ease with them. Whimboy does amazing photos and definitely makes the most of the environment and settings. We would not hesitate in recommending them to other people for their events/weddings.
First of all, let me tell you about Whimboy the man. My wife Tiffany and I met up with him at a bookstore cafe and had the most delightful time talking with him. Trading stories about our family histories and about how we met and how he met his wife. He was touched and inspired by our story and we connected on a level that just felt like catching up with a friend instead of meeting a professional photographer for the first time. He was always open to communicate whether by phone or email and answered the barrage of questions we sent his way over the months leading to our big day with courtesy and grace. He advised us on best time of day for the best outdoor shots and came and scoped out the venue on his own. He also has very flexible payment options which had us worry free in that department. But come the big day we were delighted to meet his beautiful wife and amazing kids. His wife assisted him nearly the whole event. We were blown away and had no idea we were getting 2 photographers in essence. His energy was high but so was his passion for his art and our families. Everything felt natural and he is literally all over the place. Just when you thought he was somewhere else he'd be in the corner catching an epic action shot of our guests. He truly is part of the family in my eyes. We keep in touch to this day, encouraging and supporting each other. I'm telling you, you're getting a tremendous value in just meeting Whimboy, but also booking him for your Huge occasion. Brides to be, booking Whimboy takes a huge burden off your planning plate. There is nothing left to chance with him on your team 😎
Whimboy made everyone smile the whole day. Our guests commented on how fun and friendly he was. His pictures were beautiful with wonderful lighting. We had a Fall wedding so the changing of the leaves made for a great backdrop. While I love all the staged/ prepared shots, the candid ones are some of my favorites. Whimboy also delivered the photos quickly and in a cute wooden box with his logo on it. Booking Whimboy for our wedding day was one of the best decisions. My husband and I are completely loving looking back st the whirlwind of our wedding day. He even made my ugly cry during the vows look beautiful.
My now husband surprised me with a photo shoot during our proposal. Wimboy went above and beyond what I expected during the shoot. He instantly made me feel at comfortable considering It was our first meeting! He was very accomedating and made sure I got all the shots I wanted.
I found out that day that a few days before the proposal he and his wife took the time to meet up with my husband at the location and helped plan the exact way to position us so that the picture was framed perfectly. He also took the time to walk around the location and come up with great ideas for our engagement shoot.
I can’t thank him and Celeste for all the hard work to make the proposal perfect for us! Whimboy and Celeste instantly make you feel comfortable. Like you're spending time with a close friends and that was important to me! It led to amazing pictures and memories I will cherish for a lifetime.
I can’t recommend him enough!
We used Whimboy for our wedding on October 6. He is hands down the best and most talented photographer that I have ever come across. He captured our amazing day perfectly! From the first time we meet up to discuss what we were looking for he made the whole process so easy and like he was part of the family. The photos that he captured were hands down amazing!! He is such a great person. If you are looking for a world class photographer Whimboy is your man.
Whimboy was so AWESOME !!! He was professional, took so many great shots and pictures !!
He made the bride and families relaxed . What a great experience we had with him !!! Highly recommend him for your next event . I live in Pittsburgh and l may need him to come here some day ..🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Whimboy is the absolute best! We use him exclusively now to shoot all of our major life milestones! He and Celeste made my wedding this past weekend a fun, stress free, and joyful event! They make you feel at ease, and work so well as a team. I wish I could give Whimboy 10 stars!
Whimboy is amazing! Went above and beyond for our wedding. We are so grateful to have worked with him and Celeste. Truly great people - very kind and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
Extremely talented and genuinely nice photographer and his team!
My son and his bride had chosen Whimboy as their photographer because he was highly recommended by one of their friends who had contracted him for their wedding. When I saw their engagement pictures which he took, it was clear that it was the right choice. He was able to capture the sweetness of their affections. I finally met Whimboy at the wedding, and he was really engaging and easy to work with. He was friendly and made everyone feel at ease. From beginning to end, he captured the special vignettes throughout the day but he was not intrusive. I just saw the wedding photos, and truly they were fantastic. We are grateful to him for documenting those moments that will live in our minds forever.
We found Whimboy because he had done two of our friend’s weddings who raved about him and after seeing his work, we agreed. His photos are vivid, clear, and he captures each moment. We got back over 1000 photos from our wedding both formal and candid and they were a joy to look though. I love them all, it will be tough to narrow them down to a smaller photo book selection. Whimboy was one of our favorite vendors that we worked with for our wedding. He did our engagement photos and said that the engagement photos are mostly for the groom so that they feel comfortable in front of a camera by the time the wedding rolls around. I think both of us needed that in front of the camera experience and he definitely made us feel comfortable and relaxed. His wife Celeste was my makeup artist (the trial was the day of our engagement photos) and for all of the bridesmaids and did such a professional amazing job. <3 We looked gorgeous! We stayed pretty much on schedule for photographs are he was able to get lots of shots in that period of time. He humored us after the ceremony by getting on a ladder to get a shot of all 185 of our guests in their seats from above. It was an amazing shot! His sister was in town and was our second photographer. She captured a lot of the decorative details as well as intimate and candid moments with our guests that we are so glad to have. The whole family is down to earth and personable and a joy to be around. Thank you for being a part of our wedding!
I wish I could rate more than just 5 stars. Whimboy has by far been the best photographer my family has worked with. He delivered the most amazing captures and we are so happy to be able to have pictures we can have for a life time. He made working with him very comfortable and never awkward at all. I will always recommend him to family and friends! Thanks again Whimboy!
Whimboy was amazing during our wedding. He brought great energy to our whole day and got everyone to take incredible pictures. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking great photographer for your event.
Whimboy did our wedding and we also did an engagement photo shoot with him. He is an amazing photographer; he is very good at putting people at ease and takes great photographs. During our engagement photo session, I don't think we stopped laughing for very long, it was a two hour session but it did not feel anywhere that long. The wedding went well; he was a fun and amazing part of the ceremony and his warm open personality connected with everyone. He will help your wedding be fun!
He was fantastic! He was fun, personable, and knew what he was doing. We had an unusual theme and he had a blast working with it and us. He gave us amazing memories of an amazing day.
I had a very wonderful experience with him. My wife and I appreciated how much professional and fun this person is. Our wedding will forever be special because of the amazing pictures he had taken. Thank you Whimboy. You are the best!
My daughter found Whimboy to photograph her April wedding a few years ago. It turned out to be freezing cold , windy and even snowed!
Whimboy encountered the harshest of conditions to work in, and yet he gave her the most beautiful wedding pictures ever!
The clouds, wind and even the snow were no match for Whimboys gift of making amazing photo memories for our entire family.
We have another daughter getting married in 3 weeks and are so happy Whimboy was available to do this wedding shoot also!
Not only is he our photographer of choice, we actually consider Rey and Celeste our friends.
Book him! He’s the best!
We've had Whimboy photograph two of our family weddings so far, and plan to invite him back for the next one! We have so appreciated his skill in capturing the joy and special moments of the day. He has boundless energy and determination to "get the shot," but he is unobtrusive in doing so. Moreover, he is able to navigate through the stressful moments of the occasion with a contagiously cheerful attitude. For our outdoor wedding in May, Whimboy wasn't fazed by the rain, but helped everyone to have smiles on their faces and enjoy the moment. Last but not least, we have so appreciated Whimboy's servant heart and encouragement as a brother in the Lord.
Whimboy was the best photographer for us and our wedding. When we met him in person, he was welcoming and his enthusiasm for wedding photography showed in all the tips he gave us to think about while we were planning. He even agreed to travel when we asked if he could still be our photographer after the wedding moved out of state. We were so busy on our wedding day that we didn't have time to keep track of anything, but Whimboy was on top of making sure we got all the photos we had planned with him. It rained during all of our outdoor shots, but his positivity helped everyone have a great time and it showed in all the amazing photos he took. We're not even sure how he managed to get some of the photos because it looks like he was multiple places at once. Whimboy captured a lot of great moments during our wedding and we are really happy with the photos!
My husband and I could not be more pleased with how our wedding photos turned out . Whimboy made our experience fun and smooth through out the whole wedding!! It's a plus that his wife is there to help out along the way !! Both super sweet and professional!Our album was customized to our satisfaction and we will cherish our memories forever. I fully recommend their services and we will be using them for future special events.
Whimboy was our wedding photographer and 4 years later we still enjoy the pictures and the memories he captured. Whimboy did our maternity shoot almost 2 weeks ago and we were not disappointed. We love his creativity, attention to detail and the jokes, he kept us laughing. Thanks for always being a professional and capturing the moments and our memories.
We booked Ray for our engagement photo shoot at The Oatlands in March 2018 (he will also photograph our wedding). Throughout the process, he has been engaging, helpful, honest, and super fun to work with. His style is natural and relaxed--no awkward/fake poses, which is definitely our style. We met with him and his wife, Celeste for a consultation, and we knew right away that we wanted to book them. Our photos are gorgeous (and we are not naturals in front of the camera!). Celeste will do your makeup for an additional fee--I'm not much for makeup, so wanted a "natural" look, which came out beautifully. We cannot wait for our September 2018 wedding and are confident that our wedding photos will be just as beautiful as our engagement photos.
I had the pleasure of working with Whimboy for my wedding. He is a gem: thoughtful, warm, will listen to all your concerns, and a top professional.
The day of my wedding I was so overwhelmed that it was tremendous help to have Whimboy be part of my team. He was always trying to be accommodating, working with and around other vendors (officiant, stylists, etc) and find solutions. Not only was he courteous to my guests, he was also focused on getting the shots I wanted and making sure my guests felt relaxed. His approach was so naturally friendly that other vendors thought he was part of the family.
And that is really the essence of his approach: he works with you like you're family.
I was also impressed from the moment I received the photos. I got my USB in a delicate wooden box with his logo - all thoughtfully presented.
And the photos are amazing. He was the only photographer on site, which meant more pressure on him to capture the right moments. And he did!
From the intense look on our eyes during the ceremony, to the emotional toasts, to our first dance, and to family letting go on the dance floor - Whimboy captured it all. I often go back to the photos to look back at the most amazing and overwhelmingly happy day of my life.
I'm extremely happy we chose him to capture our wedding.
Whimboy is such a pleasure to work with! He had a way of making us feel at ease while taking photos, in the midst of the busyness of our wedding day. He made sure our entire experience was fun and memorable! We had a photo shoot in a DC museum between the church ceremony and reception, and we literally had only 30 minutes to shoot at the museum before they closed, but Whimboy pulled off such amazing shots despite the time constraints. He even gamely took pictures of us walking in the rain, since we were in such a rush in and out of the museum. It speaks volumes about his professionalism and passion for his craft! He cares for his clients and really took our ideas and preferences to heart. We were thrilled that the final photos were beautiful as he was able to capture moments during our wedding in impeccable detail. Whimboy is a photographer you can rely on. We can't thank him enough!
Weddings can be stressful, esp for the brides. Destination weddings are even worse. But imagine having a typhoon in a destination – outdoor – wedding. Now that is something! For my wedding in 2012 that’s what we had. It was raining all day and tents were being blown away but because of Whimboy’s unperturbed composure and enthusiasm in what he does – none of those problems are visible in our wedding pictures. All our pictures came out amazing! The whole time, despite all the craziness he was cheering everyone up, he would tell jokes, share funny stories to make people laugh and not worry about what was going on.
It is an understatement to say that he is a great photographer and that his photos are amazing. What sets him apart from the rest is – he has an eye for even the simplest details and can capture it in a very artistic way. He finds “magic” in ordinary objects, situations, people, and events and can make it really extraordinary. His passion for this craft is visible and can be felt in his photos. A truly remarkable artist!
Why can't we do more than 5 stars?!? Whimboy & Celeste definitely deserve the highest of ratings no matter what scale they get measured on. Whimboy came highly recommended by my sister and her friends. We actually got to see his work first hand at my sister's wedding in 2016 and pretty much knew we had our wedding photographer right then and there. His attention to detail is outstanding and his work speaks for itself. We knew the quality of work we were getting and knew we were in great hands to capture that special day in our lives. The pictures came out as best as we could of imagined, and we have no complains about anything at all during the whole process. I am so happy and grateful to say that I have gained a good friend, a brother after sharing two weddings together for our family. I see great things coming up for Whimboy. Keep doing your thing and you'll see that everything else will follow. God bless you Whimboy & Celeste!
My husband and I are so thankful to whimboy for capturing beautiful moments on our wedding day. He is very fun to work with and makes you feel comfortable and naturally expressive. Thank you for making our dreams come true by taking these amazing pictures. Please pencil book us on our 25th wedding anniversary
I met him on the wedding day itself but he made us feel very
comfortable. Taught us how to pose and how to look good in front of the
camera. He’s very funny and charming so even if we’re not really used to
cameras, we were very at ease and that made us have great pictures.
Professional, brilliant, amazing and easy going are some of the words that best describe Whimboy Echavez as a photographer. Whimboy is one of a kind, his character and wit made us feel comfortable and worry free on the day. Not only taking photos was his forte, Whimboy also served as an inspiration to Don and myself. He shared his passion for photography and how he and his wife got into the wedding industry, gave us the courage to pursue what Don had always been passionate about.
With much anticipation on what the photos would look like, Whimboy showed case his work to us. The photos were totally amazing! Positive comments were communicated to us after visiting the link he'd provided. His photography style is very natural and relaxed. We couldn’t really ask for more. We believe this is the most simplest way we could say “THANK YOU” for being part of our memorable day and for the friendship gained. May God continue to bless you and your business with many more bookings. Keep up the great work, and continue inspire us with your work. Thank you heaps!
Whimboy & Celeste came highly recommended by my sister in law and my day off coordinator as they both used Whimboy. He has a way of making you feel at ease and comfortable. He was very attentive and responsive to emails/calls leading up to wedding day which for any bride goes a long way. Aside from his superb professionalism, he has a true talent for capturing feelings and memorializing them in a form of a picture. Outstanding work.
Working with the Echavez duo during our engagement shoot was like hanging out with cool friends. Although meeting up for the shoot was our first time getting together, there was immediate rapport the moment we shook hands. Throughout the session, we were encouraged to be ourselves and the four of us were laughing continuously. Make no mistake, Whimboy and Cel are absolute professionals. Since it was midday, Cel knew light make-up was best on me and Whimboy’s creativity was on full display when he saw the range of colors throughout the Rizal Stadium setting. Even with the sun shining down at its peak, he found ways to effectively utilize the entire venue. With Whimboy’s enthusiasm and sharp ideas, Justin and I happily ran, smiled, laughed, giggled, jumped, posed, and climbed for the camera. It was a memorable shoot and we wouldn’t want it any other way. We had an amazing time! The photos came out wonderfully, reflecting the passion that Whimboy brings to photography, with that passion clearly on display during the shoot and through the moments he captured on film. As Justin and I now live in Washington DC, we know it won't be long before we will go visit our great friends, Whimboy and Cel.
Whimboy’s work was outstanding! I would say it was even better than outstanding considering that we had very limited time to get to know each other. I contacted him very late (two weeks before the wedding) because the contract with my initial photographer fell out. He was proposed by a friend from the Philippines and Whimboy happened to be available. My wedding was in New York and he was based in Virginia. He still made it happen. It was such a wonderful coincidence, because I wouldn’t think there would be anyone else better to capture our precious moments than Whimboy.
In fact, I met Whimboy for the first time at the wedding BUT WE CLICKED RIGHT AWAY! He was very attentive to my needs and the “environmental” limitations – it was grey and drizzling the day of my wedding but he found very creative ways to capture the moment. He had passion for his job and I could see that he wouldn’t want anything less than the best. And that’s what all the pictures turned out to be.
What I loved the most was the way Whimboy’s photos captured our story and the moments, all the emotions during the ceremony were intricately captured by Whimboy – the joy, the excitement, the anxiety, nervousness, both joy and anxiety, every emotion and combination of emotions were captured. He was with us and he was there for us. Never did I feel that he was rushing through just to get the work done. For him, our event, our wedding, was also his event, his wedding. It’s amazing to have someone like that for a photographer. You’re assured to get the best results and we indeed got the best pictures.
I also admired and appreciated very much how he made sure that we were happy up to the very end. When we were working on the album, we had some demands and there were a number of back and forth but he was very patient and always available when we had questions and requests. The album was BEAUTIFUL, the most beautiful work that captured our love and devotion to each other - my husband and I.
I highly, highly recommend Whimboy to anyone who wants to have a “PICTURE-PERFECT” WEDDING (and I am sure he will be as committed to capturing the best moments in any occasion). He is talented, he has passion, and he is dedicated to giving all the best he can, all of what he has, to capture your best moments.
Whimboy Photography is outstanding! I chose Whimboy during my search for a professional photographer because I immediately connected to his photos. This is because there is an authenticity that is captured in every shot. My instinct did not disappoint. Whimboy photographers were professional, timely, and fun. They made everyone relax so that your best you can be captured.
Two brides --one very special wedding day! Thanks to our photographers Whimboy and Celeste. True professionals, great quality photographs, reasonably priced for the value, and so easy to work with. They had a clear vision of what we wanted and they worked well without direction to capture those shots. They came early, left late, and did it all with a smile. Book them, it will be one of the best wedding decisions you make!
Whimboy & Celeste have been absolutely amazing to work with. Met them at my best friend's wedding and now they're basically our family photographers! Family and friends have all started booking them and rave about them as well. Reasonable pricing and most importantly, so much fun to work with. There can be so much stress surrounding the big day that they help you forget all that and remind you to have fun. Your wedding pictures are a token of your special day and will last a lifetime - Whimboy and Celeste, you will always be very special to us!
