Walter Wilson Studios

. You know exactly how to corral our rowdy bunch and get THE BEST shots! Thank you for exceeding our expectations and providing the ultimate level of service. We can't wait to recommend you to all of our friends getting married!!!

eccable. I fell in love with pretty much every single picture he took throughout the entire night. He made everyone feel comfortable and had a great sense of calmness and humor about him that made the day seamless. He gave instruction, while making people feel loose and comfortable which was amazing. He was non stop working the entire wedding, running around trying to get the best shot and they all showed in his final products and I cannot thank him enough for capturing all of our wonderful moments throughout the entire night. If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further. Wally was perfect and I highly recommend using him on your special day!!

re enough I only had one person in mind to photograph the big day. Walter was so wonderful to work with, just as I knew he would be, professional and precise, creative in his compositions, and most of all enjoyable to be around. I think it's normal to be nervous if you're not used to being photographed, and especially during those sensitive shots where it's just you and your husband, but Walter created such a comfortable space for us to feel relaxed and calm, guiding us and recommending different poses throughout our secluded session. He covered the entire wedding himself, managing to truly capture every cherishable moment and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you Walter!

ding photos! We got a small peek at his camera and they looked unbelievable!

ll quickly realize that the best photos are a result of hard-earned talent from years of working in the field. Wally has that experience - and an amazingly warm personality, to boot. His friendly demeanor and easy-going working style meant that within minutes of meeting him, we were already at ease. He throws out friendly guidance while shooting that results in natural looking poses and different looks. Wally has shot enough weddings that he effortlessly knows where to be and who to track to document all of the day's events. Our family and friends were pleasantly surprised at how quickly and efficiently he choreographed a wide assortment of family and wedding party shots. I think the most telling part of Wally's stunning talent is that when we received our final package of photos, we were almost overwhelmed with the abundance of studio quality images: thousands of beautiful, high quality shots - in color, black and white, atmosphere, candids, family portraits. Months after our wedding, and we still get big smiles on our faces everytime one of his photos shows up on the screens around our house. Bottom line: Wally is a top-notch wedding photographer of the highest order and you should consider yourselves lucky if he is available to shoot your wedding. Highly, highly recommended.

ut the memories of our special day in his hands and we couldn't be happier with the pictures!

ies may fade, your pictures will be forever. When we met Wally in person, his personality was infectious and I knew that he would be wonderful to work with. Wally is fun, adventurous, and really wants the best for his couples. I never expected to have EVERY SINGLE photo be one that I could treasure forever. The photos are just breathtaking. Working with Wally was one of the best choices I could have made for Engagement Photos, and now I have the most beautiful images that I never would have gotten with anyone else. Thank you Wally for capturing the memories of that special day! Wish we could do it all over again!

many things feel rushed but Walter took his time and made sure everyone was comfortable and that he captured the pictures he wanted. When the time came for my wedding I already knew I wanted him to be our photographer. My husband and I met with him and we discussed styles and locations. Walter has vast knowledge of great areas to take photos based on the location of your wedding and is always open to suggestions. Once the big day came Walter and his staff were very professional and we couldn’t be happier with the pictures. The pictures came out romantic and classy and really captured the moments of that day. We were even pleasantly surprised with many candid photos of us and guests which shows how attentive they are. We would highly recommend Walter, he’s professional, easy going, funny and an all around great guy, you won’t be disappointed!

day. Wally walked us through the whole process making us feel confident and worry-free on our wedding day. He and Edward hustled like crazy to capture the day from top to bottom, and just felt like an extension of our guests, having fun with everyone and getting in the mix. We just got our photos back, and couldn't be happier. My wife and I were super nervous, as we're more "behind the camera" people, and didn't want to come off self conscious or posed in our photos. We shouldn't have ever been worried knowing that we were in Wally's hands. We came away with photos that were better than anything we could have ever hoped for! I can't recommend Walter Wilson Studios enough. If you need a Wedding Photographer, no matter where you are in the world, you're a fool to not hire Wally!

od and we are beyond pleased with them! He captured so many fun candid moments and you could really feel the vibe of the wedding thru the pictures. I can not stop looking at them!!! Beyond that what we really loved most was working with Walter. He is so much fun, comfortable to have around, very approachable, and while having very high energy, he is calm and under control at all times. Walter makes you feel comfortable while being photographed. He blended in as if he was one of our guests :) I honestly can't imagine hiring a better photographer. Walter is an amazingly talented photographer and I can not say enough good things about him or recommend him enough. You will not regret hiring Walter to photograph anything in your life that you want to cherish in photographs forever. Thanks so much Wally!!!

night shot that he captured where he was able to illuminate each rain drop. It's a magical shot.

personality and his obvious love of his craft oozing from his persona, you end up with a marvelous afternoon. I cannot recommend Walter enough, you will not be disappointed,

h time with your photographer as you do with your groom on your big day ;-) --so it's super important to have a good rapport. Wally is kind, patient, personable and TALENTED. I highly recommend his work and service!

ame through but the saving grace was Walter, sweating in a very hot room, climbing on things and laying on the floor to get the right shot. When we received our photos back we were in shock at how good they looked especially with the poor circumstances. It almost made us feel better about the things we were upset about from the venue. Somehow no one looked sweaty everyone looks happy and perfect and I honestly just about every photo was full of life. We honestly do not believe we could have had a better photographer and it was money well spent.

capture so many beautiful moments that leave you breathless. These will be photos I will never forget. Thank you Wally for being you and for being good at what you do.

sick in the bathroom. When Wally and his team arrived for the "getting ready" photos, I was green and couldn't hold food down. Great timing for food poisoning right? Wally was so kind and managed to get absolutely breathtaking shots of the entire party and myself getting ready and YOU CANT EVEN TELL I WASN'T FEELING GOOD. He is magic. I have never felt so beautifully represented in photos (with underlying stomach sickness nonetheless!). The photos that we got are breathtaking. When I went searching for a photographer I wanted something different than your standard wedding photography. Of course I wanted some of the standard shots and well done photos, but I wanted something more. I wanted a little bit of art. This is Wally's forte. We still have people gushing over our photos over a year later and I had multiple brides-to-be reach out to me over facebook asking who did our photos because they are so well done. Wally listened to exactly what we were going for and knew how to lead our bridal party to get the shots he needed while allowing us to have fun goofing off and navigating requests for shots. He has incredible experience in wedding photography and knew of dozens of secret spots to capture the amazing photos that we received. A Saturday in Balboa Park?! You can't even tell there were hundreds of people around the park. We have intimate and beautiful photos because of Wally. Quality 10/10. Art 10/10. Ease 10/10. Wally's professional and fun demeanor 10/10. I cannot gush about Walter Wilson Studios enough. Everyone has nice photos nowadays, heck even iPhones can take amazing portraits now. What you want for your wedding is something beyond that. A level of quality that surpasses your standard wedding photographer. Something that you will look back on years and years later when the wrinkles start to take over and think "wow, that was truly something special". You want art. You want elegance and grace. You want a beautifully stylized representation of the moments from that day that will transcend time. Everyone else will provide you with the hoards of fun iPhone photos to add to your life collection. You want wedding photos that your grandchildren fawn over 50 years from now because they are so special and different from all of the other photos they have of your life. Go will Walter Wilson Studios if you want magic.

ement photos. So frantically we needed a new photographer ASAP. Walter was so accommodating with our schedule and setting up a time to meet while we were out in California. My husband and I were late to this meeting and new Walter had a date with his wife... and we couldn't make him late! After 5 minutes and of course stalking his gorgeous pictures on his website we knew Walter was the guy! His personality is contagious and he is so good at what he does! He was so responsive over the phone and through email. The day of the wedding came and Walter and his second photographer Edward arrived right on time! They went above and beyond getting perfect shots of our wedding! Our family was so impressed with Walters professionalism and personality! We received so many compliments all night! My husband and I can't wait to see how everything came out! So if you are in search of probably the best photographer in California hire Wally!! everyone we met and told about having Wally as our photographer couldn't stop praising him!

her. Walter is SO talented and truly knows what he's doing. We took our engagement photos in October and they were absolutely stunning. We had so many people told us they were the best engagement photos they had ever seen. He was very flexible with the location we chose and prompt with communication. Not only is he great at taking pictures, but he is great at making you feel comfortable and coaching you on how to pose/ what will make your body type look best. When it was getting close to our wedding date, he told us it would be a good idea to meet and go over our timeline. He let us know that the way our timeline was set up, we would only have 1 hour for dancing at the end of our wedding. This was NOT what we wanted, and with his help, we adjusted the timeline and we were able to change that to 3 hours of dancing (which was obviously the best part of the night). He is a professional and has worked so many weddings, he knows what works and what doesn't, and we truly appreciated his advice and insight. He was great getting the family pictures done efficiently and stress-free, and was right in the middle of the party getting the fun and crazy shots through the end. it was the BEST decision to hire Wally for our wedding photography, I would recommend him to anyone I know getting married.

be prompt and super dependable. Wally responds to your emails fast and shows up ready and on time. 2. Every vendor will say "this day is all about you" but it turns out most are lying and care way more about getting their job done and looking good. Wally totally gets it. He's patient, respectful and courteous, but also keeps you on track so you don't miss the best lighting at sunset. The way that he is able to capture your special moments without being bothersome, and even more importantly, the meticulous detail he puts in post editing, makes you his most important client long after the photo shoot is done. 3. Dude is funny and so easy to work with! Honestly, the photo sessions would've felt stiff and awkward if it weren't for his fun personality and sense of humor. He got us to loosen up which really shows in our photos too. Last two cents, our photobook (it's so beautiful and polished it could be published) is the only way we really relive the day we got married - a day that came and went so fast, we were left wondering the next day if it really happened. We're so proud and happy that we get to revisit such beautiful memories and thoughtful moments again and again. Thanks to Wally!

ngagement shoot and capped it off with an amazing wedding day. My wife is so incredibly happy everytime she looks through our photos. Just recently she discovered we were missing some of our photos and within an hour Walter had them to us. His service is impeccable, his attention to detail is outstanding. He is the no brainier of wedding and event photography.

him. At least 5 of our recently married/ engaged couples have used him and all have loved him also. I will always recommend him to any of my friends and family !!

forever. He is professional, on time, and knows so many vendors in the industry, he can guide and steer you in the right direction with the vendors he has worked with in the past. Well worth the money to get the most beautiful photos.

his staff were. My fiance (now husband) and I were comfortable working with Walter within about 2 minutes of meeting and it made being in front of his cameras a piece of cake. He was so easy-going and also creative, directive, and thought outside of the box. We got pictures at seemingly common locations that still looked one-of-a-kind and unique. He was very responsive during the entire process, great turn-around time, and the quality of work exceeded all of our expectations. For this price point, it was a no-brainer, we got our money's worth (ten fold) and have memories to last us a lifetime, thanks to Walter. I will continue to recommend him every chance I get . Thanks again, Wally!

d was a total expert with the space. Our photos are stunning and he got them to us so quickly. In addition to being such a fun part of our day, we are so impressed with the quality of the photos too. We love you Wally!
