The Willinghams Photography is truly the best of the best! From our engagement photo session with our dog, to our magical wedding, Drew went above and beyond to make sure we had the best photos, capturing every special moment! Drew was amazing to work with, and made sure our wedding day was seamless. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you for making this experience unforgettable!!
Angela and Drew were the best decision we could have made for our wedding day. From the engagement shoot to planning the wedding day to the actual day being here, they were extremely easy to talk to, fun to work with, and so helpful! They made sure our day went smoothly, we were worried about our videographers being in the way and making us do things we didn’t want to after a worrisome phone call days before the wedding, and Angela and Drew handled everything in the perfect way to make our day stress free. They get the photos done quickly the day of, we did not do a first look, and we are so happy with how everything worked out! My husband isn’t very comfortable getting his photo taken for too long, and he has said multiple times how easy going Drew was, happy that he was around as the photographer. They blended into our day so seamlessly and got shots of everything you could think of. These photos are my dream wedding pictures, worth every penny, and I would not change a thing. And the amount of photos we got was amazing, way more than we expected and it was so fun to relive our wedding day through each picture. I HIGHLY recommend the Willinghams, you won’t regret it :)
We are obsessed with the Willinghams. Not only are they great photographers they have the best personalities and made the day so much more calm. I can't stress how important the vibe of your photographers is, it can make or break the day. Drew even gave me a tide pen when I spilled something on my dress.
Now that we've had a couple of weeks to let the magic of our pictures sink in...
Wow. Just wow. We are blown away by our photos from Drew and Angela. We knew we wanted photojournalist-style photography edited with true-to-life colors, and when we chatted with our top two photographer options, it was so clear that we wanted to work with Drew and Angela. We were so comfortable with them, even without an engagement shoot beforehand, and our photos have a great mix of candids and naturally posed group shots. We also hired them to shoot our rehearsal dinner which was an amazing choice to get some more candids and small-group shots before the chaos of the actual wedding day (which was not chaotic at all - managed excellently by Drew and Angela and our coordinator!)
They delivered our sneak peek in 10 days and our full album in about 5 weeks, ahead of schedule. The way they play with light resulted in wedding pictures that are not just authentic memories, but true art that we are so excited to have displayed on our wall. Thank you again to Drew and Angela for capturing our wedding weekend so spectacularly and being a huge reason it was the best day of our lives.
Angela and Drew were absolutely amazing to have for our special day. They instantly felt like friends, making us feel comfortable which naturally led to amazing photos. You won’t be disappointed.
Angela & Drew are the best! we decided to go with them after a friend showed us their amazing pictures from her wedding & they definitely did not disappoint! They were everything we hoped and more! On top of amazing pictures we had so much fun working with them! They truly are the best! Insanely talented and professional, yet so much fun to work with.
Stop looking for photographers and just book The Willinghams aka Drew and Angela. Don't keep looking. Don't meet with other photographers, just book them. Why, you ask? Where do we begin?
1. You are actually dealing with Drew and Angela. Not their secretary. Not their big gigantic company. You get them for every mundane question you have. They own the company and take pride in themselves. You talk to Drew and Angela whenever you need something. So, on the wedding day, there is no doubt about who is showing up, it's them. It's been them all along. And I don't know what else you could ask for in regards to your photographers.
2. Their professionalism. From the day we reached out they showed us nothing but impeccable professionalism. They were timely in every email response (usually less than 24 hours), on our wedding day, they were early, and literally stayed with us until we were walking out of the venue ourselves, and then, getting our pictures to us. I have heard nightmare stories from my friends about chasing down their photographers, but not Drew & Angela. They had our photos to us in less than a month, and all we can say is WOW. They also worked seamlessly with our videographer. There was never an issue or needing to re-do anything because they are just the kindest and nicest people to work with.
3. Them. My husband and I are awkward. But we knew that Drew and Angela would make us feel comfortable. They spent the day quoting movie lines with us, talking about our beloved pets, and we never felt like we were being forced into awkward poses. We had shared our vision with what we wanted, and they made it come to life and even better than we could have ever asked for.
4. The feedback. Even as the wedding was happening, we had our guests coming up to us complimenting us how amazing they were. People were telling us how they were "everywhere, and yet not there" never making people feel awkward or that they were intruding on a perfect moment. But, they captured them. They captured all of them. I can't even begin express how happy we are with the pictures. They found cute moments,people raging, and even got an entire group of teachers to look in one direction for a table picture, which, up until now, I thought was the impossible task.
We wish we had another major event for them to photograph for us in the near future, but sadly, we can't bring them on our honeymoon to Italy with us. However, we will leave with this: if you are looking for artistic, beautiful and genuine photos, book the Willinghams. They will capture everything and more about your wedding day. From a quick fireball shot with your girls while getting ready, to the laughs you share with your soon to be husband, and every small and intimate moment with your guests in between. You are dealing with wonderful people who truly just want to make you feel amazing on your day, and they will.
They are one of kind and they make you feel that way as well. Don't keep looking. Book the Willinghams. You will not regret it!
We absolutely LOVED working with Drew and Angela for our wedding photography! We first met them through our in-laws at their wedding, and we were so blown away by the quality of their work that we had to have Drew and Angela for our wedding. It wasn't even a discussion: we both knew! Drew and Angela were great to work with, and super communicative leading up to our wedding day. They drove from PA to upstate NY and did a full 9-hour day (from 12 noon or shortly thereafter to 9 pm). The turn-around for photos was 8 weeks. The photos are AMAZING! Their photographic style perfectly captured our day and made us look better than we've ever looked! We love our photos. Thank you, Drew and Angela, for an amazing experience. For future couples, you MUST use The Willinghams Photography as your photographer!
I couldn’t live working with Angela and Drew more! I found them through Instagram in 2018/2019 and knew immediately it had to be them. It’s nice when things fall into your lap that way. Our package included an engagement shoot which we did 10/2021, and it POURED. But by the look of our photos you’d never know. We have since recommended them to two of my coworkers for their weddings - I am that in love 😂. They have the most calming, professional demeanor and really made my day fun. I am a high anxiety person, and was getting frazzled at various points, especially when we were running behind. We ran into some time issues requiring us to switch the order of family/BP photos and they handled it flawlessly. I spent a significant of time with Angela the day of and she is just amazing. She helped with so many things - getting people in order, helped with some tricky buttons on my dress (just to name a few), general moving things along when needed. When we received our photos, I was blown away and cried so hard. Every time I saw something I wanted to tell them I loved, I easily found 10 more. So so so many beautiful, dreamy photos that tell a love story like I could never imagine. I am so happy with the family photos I received as I simply just didn’t have any with some family members, but now I can truly cherish some beautiful memories. The amount of photos we received were insane too! True artists at their craft.
Angela and Drew were definitely one of the lynchpins of our wedding. Having done a fantastic engagement session with them last fall, it was reassuring to see a familiar face on our big day. They really helped us get through the whirlwind of our wedding. They we're great to collaborate with through the planning process, providing suggestions from their experience but also incorporating any of our requests or preferences when it comes to the schedule of the day, poses or logistics of capturing the day. On the big day they were professional and carefully balanced between capturing the wedding/getting the shot and blending into the background. We were overwhelmed by our final photo set - so many great photos, multiple angles and version of each critical moment. I highly recommend the Willinghams for their wedding!
Angela and Drew are amazing to work with! We were lucky enough to meet them through multiple friends who used them as their photographers. My husband and I aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, but Angela and Drew made us feel like it was just the two of us. We LOVE how our photos turned out, the only regret we have is not having them there longer!
If I could give Angela and Drew 10 stars I would. I didn’t have many expectations going into the experience (planning a wedding during covid and all) but they exceeded any and all. Not only were the photos AMAZING they were AMAZING. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed which can be hard to do when you are not used to having your photos taken, especially on a day where there is so much going on. When hiring a photographer you don’t just want great pictures but also a great experience and that’s exactly what they provided and I would hire them again and again! !!!
Wow - what can we say about our favorite vendors of the day. Angela & Drew were ideal photographers to work with. From our engagement shoot - we knew we made the right choice. Not only were they professional, but they kept it fun throughout the whole process. They were beyond kind and understanding when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid, which we appreciated more than they knew. When it came to our wedding day, they each did such a great job calming my and my husband's nerves throughout the morning, all while capturing it beautifully. Our family and bridal party had nothing but positive things to say about how Angela & Drew helped run the day, and again - kept the day fun. We are obsessed with our pictures, and are so grateful to have these wonderful memories for years to come. They truly started out as our photographers, and ended up as our friends. Highly, highly recommend!!
We have seen and explored many other photographers before we went with Angela and Drew and by far, they're beyond amazing!! The process was so easy from the beginning, they arrived on time and didn't miss any of our special moments. The quailty of every picture was astonishing, each taking from a different angle and with an eye for perfection. You also get a black and white of each picture, which was a plus for us :)
If you're looking for a professional and outstanding photographers to capture every detail of your wedding day, trust us....go with the Willingham. We usually don't write reviews loll but they deserve it and we will be recommending them to all our friends.
Angela and Drew are absolutely amazing! They captured the beautiful moments from our wedding perfectly and were so easy to talk to! I had quite a few requests and they accommodated everything I asked for! And I love the editing on the pictures! So happy I picked them 😀
If you are reading this and wondering if you should hire them, stop thinking and just do it. Angela and Drew are incredible!!!! We just got married as Phase 2 of NY was reopening post pandemic. We had to compromise on so much in order to get married. We ended up with a very small socially distant ceremony instead of the big one and no reception but thanks to our incredible vendors it was a dream come true. Angela and Drew naturally know how to get the perfect shot and it’s not some stoic orchestrated effort. They capture the sincerity and authenticity of the moment. Besides their incredible talent, they are hilarious. We spent the entire time literally bent over hysterical laughing. It was SO MUCH FUN. I cannot say enough good things about them as photographers and as people. They were a complete joy. I hope we get to cross paths again some day just to have the pleasure of being in their company again. HIRE THEM.
We booked Drew & Angela for our wedding and could not be happier. We were initially drawn to their work for their beautifully unique aesthetic. Artistic, creative, and full of life! Not only are they magicians behind the camera, but they are such lovely people. One thing that has really stuck with me since the wedding is how incredibly calming and supportive their energy was. I felt at ease whenever they were near. Logistically, they make a great team. They know exactly how to tag-team to capture a variety of shots with different lenses and angles at the same time! They were so efficient with time. We are also very thankful that Drew & Angela were a great help with direction during the large group portraits. When we received our photos afterwards, we were just blown away. Every single photo is a work of art. Thank you Drew and Angela for capturing our day perfectly. If we could give you guys 1,000 stars, we would. If you are on the fence about booking the Willinghams, just do it. Your future self will thank you!
The quality and style of Drew and Angela's work speaks for itself. What you can't see from their portfolio is what truly great humans these two are. You spend an enormous amount of time, on the most important day of your life, with your wedding photographers; and I wouldn't choose to spend it with anyone else. Drew and Angela went above and beyond for us and really seemed to care about us that day. They also met every deadline when getting us our shots. They said previews would come by a certain date, we received our previews. They said we would get all of our finished work by another date, we got them early. I love my photos and I could just live in them. They really take me back to that day.
If you’re looking for amazing wedding photographers, look no further than The Willinghams! They were an absolute pleasure to work with and their photographs speak for themselves. I spent weeks researching wedding photographers and contacted about 50 photographers for pricing, packages, and portfolios. Wedding photos were one of the most important aspects of the day for me and I really wanted high quality photos that were more on the photojournalistic side and not too posed or muted editing. I also really wanted to have two photographers because I felt like that would be the best opportunity to capture the whole day.
I came across Drew and Angela by chance. I had hired a different set of photographers, but we had to part ways because they were experiencing some personal issues. At this point, I’m scrambling trying to find a new photographer in our price range that isn’t already booked. I asked for wedding photographer suggestions in a wedding thread and someone recommended The Willinghams. By this point, I knew most of the wedding photographers in the area since I had done such extensive research, but had somehow never come across The Willinghams. I immediately went to their website and knew right away that they were exactly the style I was looking for. Their style is much more unique than other wedding photographers. I would say they’re not traditional wedding photos that are boring and light and airy. The colors in the photos are very saturated and the angles and shots they get are more natural, which is exactly what I was looking for. They are also much more affordable than other photographers of the same quality. I think their pricing is fair and not excessive like other photographers in the Philadelphia area.
Drew and Angela are so fun to work with. My husband and I are not exactly photogenic, but they made us feel so comfortable and got so many amazing shots. They were very relaxed the whole day and really went with the flow, but were still very professional. They felt like they were friends of ours and I was immediately comfortable working with them. I can’t thank them enough for capturing such beautiful photos of our wedding day. They truly feel more like works of art and everyone has been so impressed by them. I hope to work with them again in the future! I highly highly recommend booking The Willinghams for your wedding.
We are beyond happy that we went with The Willinghams Photography. We booked them for their style and vibe for our September 28 garden wedding. Drew and Angela are amazing and truly captured our special day to fullest and their style, just wow! They make you feel comfortable and tone down the all the crazy stress of the day. And they are just one heck of a time! Just two crazy kids in love taking pics of two other crazy kids in love - can't beat that! We highly recommend The Willinghams to anyone and everyone!
Choosing a photographer to witness & capture one of the most special days of your life is no easy feat when you know next to nothing about photography. I went with my gut, and my gut went with Drew and Angela.
So what exactly made me choose the Willinghams? First and foremost, their enthusiasm and shared love for Harry Potter and Star Wars was already a sign that we would be kindred spirits. The fact that they are a husband-wife team of >10 years in the business was also a plus; they communicate well with each other, know exactly how to help with each other’s shots, & provide 2 different perspectives of the day. On top of that, they are also great, professional, and down-to-earth human beings with hugely positive vibes. Angela is the absolute sweetest & Drew is such a comic. I could not have asked for a better team.
But what really drew me in was their portfolio - not only are the pictures beautiful & well-photographed, they also tell a story. The candidness of the pictures on their portfolio really drew me in and made me feel like I was a part of the couple’s wedding day. Even on the day of my wedding, they were like ninjas - capturing the most hidden moments that really helps me to relive the day over & over again. In fact, my favorite pictures are not of my husband & myself - but the pictures of my friends & family; the moments I might have missed because I was too busy being the bride. Seeing that other side of my wedding reception and really appreciating the Willinghams’ knack for blending into the background & capturing those genuine moments - it’s really a priceless gift to have been given. I cannot recommend the Willinghams enough to anybody & everybody. Your wedding will not be complete without them.
Drew and Angela are amazing!! Super friendly and such a pleasure to work with! We did our engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and they were so helpful making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They had us laughing and enjoying the whole session. The wedding was incredible, and they captured every minute beautifully. They give you full control of what pictures you want them to get, and at the same time going above and beyond with candids throughout the day. There style is beautiful and I would highly recommend anyone getting married to choose them to capture your big day <3
My husband and I could not be happier with our decision to have the Willinghams Photography capture our wedding day! From our first Skype call, Drew and Angela were amazing to work with. The listened to our vision, explained their process, answered every question, and helped us finalize our wedding day schedule ahead of time so that everything ran smoothly day of. During our engagement shoot and wedding portraits, they made us feel far more comfortable in front of a camera than we ever thought possible! And most importantly, they captured the joy of our wedding day with all of its details as the day unfolded. Our wedding album is full of real, genuine moments between my husband and me, our families, and our friends. Drew and Angela beautifully captured all of the emotion in moments big and small, so that viewing our album allows us to relive the best day of our lives. As well as comprehensive, our photos are stunning to look at! Every image is more beautiful than the next. I cannot recommend the Willinghams enough -- they are kind, thoughtful, and so very talented! You will be so thankful when you hire them as your wedding photographers. I know I am :)
Drew and Angela made our photography vendor decision easy! They were always responsive via email, easy to get along with, and are phenomenal artists. My husband and I booked them for an engagement shoot and 11 hours on the wedding day.
The engagement shoot allowed us to spend a few hours with them and establish a great rapport before the big day. The Willinghams helped us to get comfortable with posing in front of the camera, and we were able to discern what worked/didn’t work for us as a couple. We left the shoot so excited, knowing that they’d be great partners to have around on the wedding day.
It’s barely worth mentioning their actual work product, because the photos can speak for themselves. I can’t stress enough how outstanding our full portfolio of engagement photos and wedding photos turned out. There was never occasion to say “Well, we only need 10 good shots to be framed.” Instead, they’ve made our lives harder by providing hundreds of phenomenal shots. There aren’t enough pages in a photo book to hold all of the pictures we love!
Angela and Drew weren’t afraid to speak up to suggest a great photo-op or give us wedding pro-tips throughout the day. They directed us well for group photos and melted into the background to capture outstanding candid photos. As a couple they have great chemistry and work well together to be everywhere, but not intrusive to the event. We truly couldn’t be happier with the results! The photos perfectly capture our day, and Drew is an editing master. We adore the vibrant colors and true artistic nature of the shots. You can’t go wrong with them behind the camera!
Drew and Angela were fantastic--beyond what we could have imagined a photographer could be. Not only do they have a calm and reassuring demeanor (definitely a plus on your wedding day) but they take gorgeous, non-cookie cutter photos. we had a pretty elaborate ceremony and they were able to take pictures during the ceremony and other events without interrupting any of it. Our friends were wondering when the pictures were being taken. They are like ninjas!
We had a bit of a time crunch getting in all the family portraits outside with dwindling light, but not only did they make it happen, some of those were the best pictures. Both the candids and the portraits/couple photos turned out fantastic. We also especially liked how they were able to capture photos of our guests that we missed during the day-of. Their pictures are unique and romantic, but not too 'artsy' that the focus isn't on you. Couldn't recommend enough!
We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos from Angela and Drew! We did an engagement shoot with then a few months before the wedding, and their fun, easy going personalities are infectious. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera but they put us at ease. We are in love with the portraits they captured of the two of us, and they did an amazing job photographing all of our wedding guests throughout the night. Highly recommend!
Angela and Drew are as good as it gets. We're still in awe of how perfectly they captured our wedding day. They're so incredibly talented, easy to work with and most importantly make you feel totally comfortable and at ease. We're so thrilled with both our engagement session and our wedding photos. And beyond just photographer, Drew is a wedding day expert! He helped all the boys with their bow ties, and boutineers
Angela & Drew were hands down the best vendor and decision we made for our wedding! They were relaxed, confident, friendly and extremely responsive from the first phone call through all pre-wedding communication and throughout the entire wedding day. They’re both incredibly talented and fun, which definitely helps when you’re hanging out with them all day. They truly were able to capture the emotion of every moment and we couldn’t have been happier with the photos we got. We’ve already had some friends fall in love with our photos and end up working with them. Highly recommend to any bride & groom!
I agree with everyone else raving about The Willinghams! Not only did our pictures turn out AMAZING, but Angela and Drew were a pleasure to work with. It was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. Thanks so much!
Using The Willinghams as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The photos turned out fantastically AND they are so different than any other photographers in Denver. They have fun with what they do and they know how to produce wonderful photographs without even trying.
I truly feel the most important service in a wedding is the photographer. Photographs are what you save as you move forward from your wedding and look back on year after year, sharing with friends, showing your children, and reminiscing over during each anniversary. So selecting the right photographer to capture our special moments was crucial. My husband and I did a lot of research on different photographers and just weren’t finding what we wanted. Then a dear friend suggested The Willingham’s Photography. Once we met them, everything fell into place. We had no desire for standard, stoic pictures from our wedding. We wanted dynamic and unique shots that captured as much emotion as possible and that is exactly what we got! Drew and Angela have a very creative way of capturing the beauty of a single moment - we knew they were the ones who were going to bring out the best in our wedding! From the start, Drew and Angela were wonderful to work with - very friendly and easy going! They listened to what we wanted and took over from there. The moments they captured of us and our wedding party were truly stunning - straight from a magazine! The post wedding shoot was just as effortless with them! They took our golf course environment and the surrounding elements and made us look amazing, we could not be happier with the results and neither could our friends and family! Overall, working with Drew and Angela was a truly magical experience for us! We are so thankful we chose The Willingham’s Photography to capture all of those moments!! Memories that will last a lifetime!
