Sweet William’s Photographer is absolutely the best! William and his team did an excellent job at my daughter’s wedding. William got to know my daughter and now son-in-law at an engagement photo session. So, when the wedding came around they...
were all comfortable with each other. William and team were extremely respectful during the Church ceremony (I actually do not remember seeing them in the church). They were the most un-intrusive photographers I have seen (or not seen) at weddings. William listened to the bride and groom and took all the requested shots!! His prices are reasonable and his editing is great! Perfect!!!
Sweet William did a wonderful job with our wedding. We just got our photos back, and we were thoroughly pleased. Not only did he capture fabulous photos of us as a couple, he managed to get great candid shots of our guests that we'll cherish, ...
too. He was friendly and helpful during the process and was always willing to work with our needs and issues. This was particularly helpful since we live out of town.
William is extremely talented and professional. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos--they are gorgeous. We wanted high quality photos from our engagement session and wedding that will last a lifetime, and William delivered above and beyo...
nd. I would highly recommend him to any engaged couples.
Any questions?
I couldn't be any happier with my wedding photos! He is an amazing photographer, we honestly couldn't have picked a better person.
My husband and I really enjoyed William and his photography/film crew. If you are hesitant (like I was) due to the high sticker price, just know that it is totally worth it!! Take a look at the photos on his gallery and get an idea of whether ...
or not you like it - if you do then perfect, because what you see is what you get! Sweet William has very consistent quality. I personally enjoyed a few things:
- Openness to my husband and I's ideas
- Candid moments captured very well
- Ease of working with William (in terms of availability but also in regards to having good energy/ positive vibes)
- The crew was composed of true artist - the shots are perfect and edited in a way that is beautifully authentic
My wedding photos are perfect! I can't wait to see the film!!!
Sweet William was so easy to work with, very personable, patient, and talented. From the beginning he worked with us to form a package that really fit our needs. He really took his time to listen and incorporate his unique talent with our very ...
specific vision of the perfect wedding. Both the engagement shoot and the wedding day went off without a hitch, and it was in great part because of William's experience. In the end, all of the pictures he delivered were something out of a fairy tale, which was perfect, because that was the theme of our wedding. We highly recommend Sweet William Photograph for your engagements, weddings, or any other special occasion! Thank you so much Will!!!
Sweet William Photo & Films captured our wedding beautifully. Working with Sweet William made the entire process enjoyable, from our first meeting to the wedding day and to reviewing the final edits, it was all such a great experience. They ma...

Thanks for the review, Rick! We are blessed to have worked with you guys!
William did both our engagement session and our wedding session and did not disappoint in either setting! Neither me nor my husband had ever had a session with a professional photographer and Will made us so comfortable for our engagement sessi...
on. This had us feeling great for our upcoming wedding. I'm not really sure where to begin for the wedding. Will was SO professional for the whole event and his photographs show what a gifted photographer and artist he is. He has a special eye for catching those quiet moments (some of the time I had no idea he was even snapping pictures!) that my husband and I will cherish forever. He and his team went above and beyond in every way that you could imagine. He captured the most spectacular photos, he handled mine and my husband's family so well, he was professional, fun and fun to shoot with, he voluntarily stayed later than we had him scheduled for(just to catch the sparkler sendoff), and powered through editing over 1000 photos for us. I would choose Will over and over again to capture those photos. I suggest to anybody reading this, that you do the same.

Kayla....words can't describe how awesome it was to work with you and Craig. THANK YOU for making our team a part of your wedding and THANK YOU for your amazing review. You guys rock :)
William was just the best! He shot my wedding in an all outdoor venue and of course it rained super hard. He stayed so positive and calm and through the rain and more rain he continued to shoot and give me the best experience I could possibly h...

You guys! Your wedding was the best. I'm so lucky to have worked with you beautiful people. Thank you so much :)
William was incredibly professional and easy to work with. He was polite to everyone from beginning to end. His photographs were also spectacular. We picked a wedding venue that we knew would be a little difficult to shoot because of lighting s...

Thank you, thank you! We had the best time working with you guys. I appreciate the review :)
I could not have asked for a better team than Sweet William Photo and Film! I have a gorgeous wedding album with hundreds of other photos on my computer and an incredibly beautiful wedding film that we will treasure forever. I'm so glad that ...
I found Sweet William and would highly recommend you call him right now! As to his professionalism - poor William got dragged into some family drama that unfortunately comes with weddings and he handled it like a champ! I feel like he's apart of our family now and look forward to keeping up with him and his work throughout the years. Thank you William, Benjamin and John for capturing our wedding so elegantly!
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2018
Weddings don't get more elegant and memorable than yours. You guys are beautiful. Thank you so much for inviting us into your day :)
William and his team are amazing! They were extremely laid back and easy to work with, which made us feel at ease. All of the photos were stunning - they really captured the overall feel of the day. Would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2018
You guys are amazing! Thank you for the sweet review :)
I owe Will a very very over due review of all his services, talent, patience and time he has provided to my husband and myself. We initially were booking Will for our engagement photos only as we were getting married in Southwest Florida, Marco...
Island to be exact. After a meet and greet he offered us a quote for traveling and doing the wedding as well. After comparing travel and board plus the photography we calculated Will to be way more reasonable than any vendor in SW Florida. So financially we were sold but we wanted to see how his photos and of course personality matched with ours. From the moment we saw him interact with our dog, which we had at our engagement photos we knew he was the one! He was so easy to get along with which in my opinion is very important. You spend at least 75% of your wedding with the photographer or near and around him. All of our photos from the engagement photos in various breweries, Elena Gallegos Park,down to the beach in Florida were absolutely gorgeous. All were in different times of day, various lighting and venues and he honestly showed his talent and photography knowledge by executing perfect images every time. Our wedding size was roughly 60 peoplewhich Will covered alone. Our priority was getting photos of my husband and less so of family. We also had a sun setting time constrain which Will handled very well getting us many shots in the 45 minutes we had. Lastly I have to add how patient he is with all the action, drama and hectic schedule of a wedding day. I had a bridesmaid that was less than cooperative and Will was always respectful and courteous to kindly put the interest of my husband and I first. I’m not sure other photographers would be able to handle this in the manner that he did. He helped capture such an important moment in my husband’s and I’s life for that we thank him so very much.

You and your wedding were a dream! Thank you for the sweetest review ever :)
My husband and I chose Sweet William for our niece's winery wedding in Tennessee. His work is outstanding and knows all the right photos to make, which include proper lighting and backgrounds, great photos with lots of great memories. We cou...
ld have gone with someone local but really glad we flew he out to Tennessee to make him part of our niece's special day. Great job!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2018
I had an incredible time! Thank you so much :)
I have had the pleasure of working side-by-side with William for a couple of years. I was also lucky enough to use him as my own wedding photographer back in October, 2016. Now, you may say this is a biased review and I guess that’s somewhat tr...
ue, but keep reading.
Having seen both the professional working side of Sweet William Photography as well as the bride side of things, I can’t say how totally amazed (and shocked) I was at how he morphed into our dream wedding photographer. I have seen Will work with so many couples. He never falters in his grace and kindness with all of them. He never falters in his ability to see them as uniquely special and a truly treasured addition to his business and his art. I expected great photos (I mean, look at his work - how could you not?), but I never expected the experience. As somebody I considered a friend, I expected the “friend treatment.” You know, when you know somebody and then you hire them and it’s a more casual thing. My now husband and I were totally shocked and pleasantly surprised at how Will transformed into the professional I had experienced so many times before. Afterward, my husband kept talking about how amazing and professional and truly pleasant William was. I had seen that side of him before with brides many times, but I can’t begin to describe how awesome it is to be on the receiving end. Will truly made me feel like a bride and my husband a groom. I cannot say enough about the treatment you will receive as a Sweet William Photography bride.
So, again, having experienced both ends of the spectrum, I can truly and honestly wholeheartedly recommend Sweet William Photography to anybody looking for class, care, and a truly professional and talented wedding photographer.
Will is absolutely fantastic. We were very happy with our engagement session but our wedding photos are more than we could have hoped for. Every moment and emotion we wanted captured Will did that and more. We are so happy with our experience a...
nd Will's eye and expertise. We truly enjoyed our experience and couldn't be happier with the wonderful photos we now have that captured the day in its true essence. Thank you Will!!!!
Will is a great photographer and captured so many memories and details I'm sure to forget! He did our engagement photos as well and received so many compliments! He is very easy going and nice to work with.
I booked with Will before I even had a set venue! He was helpful and insightful the whole time. He had a calming personality, which helped my photo-phobic husband and I relax and have fun and take pictures. He's so quiet, you won't even know he...
's there taking pictures! My husband and I were looking through the ones we just got back, and kept asking ourselves, "When did he take these?" If you're looking for a calming presence to take amazing photos for you to cherish for years, Will is your man!
Will did a wonderful job at our wedding in October! He was very professional and the pictures are beautiful. We did have to wait a little while for our pictures - he had originally estimated 3-4 weeks, I e-mailed him after 4 weeks and got the p...
ictures a day or two later - so just be aware that it can take some time but it is worth the wait. I would definitely recommend Will, my husband and I really enjoyed working with him and we all love his pictures.
Sweet William Photography was a great vendor for our wedding. William worked with our engagement photo shoot, answered all of the many questions we had and his work is awesome. He was always professional, creative and had a knack for great ...
timing. After we received our pictures, we couldn't be happier with our choice. If you're considering a wedding photographer, we highly recommend Sweet William Photography!
As mother of the bride we gifted our daughter with picking out the photographer of her choice. She choose Sweet William Photography and I'm so glad she did. He and his assistant were magnificent!!! Sweet William not only caught EVERY importa...
nt moment as you would expect from a true photography professional....he was also innovative and so delicately sensitive to small details that I was in awe of his creative eye....and that statement comes from a graphic designer professional (myself). THANK YOU, Sweet William!
Sweet William Photography was one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding. Not only that, but William was worth every penny. He's fast with correspondence (we were planning from across the country), always ready to listen to...
any ideas or concerns, and is honestly an amazing photographer. Our wedding photos make me tear up every time I look at them! Will really captured the moments just like we remember them and was an all around delight to work with. Thank you, Will!!
william was very nice and did great pictures, our wedding pakage was a good price, but make sure if there is a specific shot you want tell him before hand.
Will was extremely accomodating for us regarding tight time-frames, rough weather, and difficult family members. Our wedding was on a Sunday, and he met with us on Saturday morning before the wedding to do a sort-of engagement photo session at...
the Albuquerque Biopark even though he had a wedding that evening. The photographs were fantastic, and we are extremely excited to see how he will put the photo album together based on the samples I saw while interviewing him. His services are a little bit pricey, but we decided that photography was exactly the place we wanted to splurge. My only caution is to double-check his charges (we had some confusion) but he was very willing to work it out with us.
Wonderful. Unfortunately he is so good and popular that it is taking a few (3) weeks to get photos. But for the quality, waiting is worth the wait!
Will did a great job! His work is terrific!
After looking at dozens of photography websites, I kept coming back to Sweet William Photography, and it was the best decision I could have made. Will is a real artist, and managed to make even my camera-hating hubby comfortable; I never though...
t I'd have a picture of him looking at the camera and smiling, but now I do! Will really IS sweet, and fit into our offbeat wedding perfectly. He was never intrusive, and besides all that, he looks like Hugh Grant. You can't go wrong here.
We had William and his assistant (his wife) do our wedding photography in Santa Fe. They were GREAT. I was so stressed out on my wedding day, but they were really easy & fun to work with and really helped me relax. I don't really like havin...
g my picture taken, but they made it so easy.
William had never been to my wedding site before, so I was a tiny bit worried that he might not find good spots to take pictures at - I shouldn't have worried. He chose great spots, and its even kind of nice because we don't have all the same pictures as everyone else who gets married there.
We just got the pictures back last night, and they're great. There's a ton of shots too. I love that we can review them online to choose what we like for our album and prints. Even more than that I love that he gives you shared copyright on the pictures, so we can print up some cheap copies on our own anytime we want.
I would definitely recommend Sweet William photo.
