Wesley Harden | Photography

phone call with him, I knew he was the right photographer for my husband and me. Wesley is extremely passionate about his work. He absolutely loves Yosemite and knows the area extremely well. He gave an entire run down of what to expect so there were no surprises, and even gave advice on what to bring since we would be hiking to Taft point for photos as well. He went over every detail that you could possibly imagine, was extremely communicative, and very polite. He even helped us create a timeline since we had no idea what we were doing, and he made sure that we included, and allotted time, for everything that was important to my husband and me. My husband and I have been together for six years and have never had professional photos taken. Neither of us our photogenic, but Wesley made taking photos one of the most comfortable and enjoyable experiences. We both look absolutely amazing in all of our photos! Wesley came up with so many ideas for our wedding day, and was quick to find creative ways to include things, like my grandpa’s motorcycle, into our photos (which I had never even thought to include). He made our day that much more magical and personal. Wesley is caring, fun, extremely creative, and his attention to detail is phenomenal. He’s also just a complete blast to be around, and his outgoing personality made it feel like being around a longtime friend. Several guests thought that we had known Wesley for years, and were shocked to find out that our wedding day was the first time we had ever met him in person! We lucked out with Wesley on our wedding day. He not only gave us beautiful photos that we will get to enjoy for a lifetime, but he also made our wedding day an experience that we will never forget. He definitely exceeded all of our expectations, and we cannot recommend him enough. We are already trying to figure out when our next big event is so that we can hire him again!

ey came out. Wesley even helped us organize our small crowd of less-than 20 guests. He was quick and efficient, and also very communicative throughout the entire process. If we need a photographer, we will surely hire Wesley again. Thank you Wesley for everything!

ll motivated and was able to capture some amazing photographs that we continually receive compliments on. The photographs he captures speak for themselves and we’re very grateful and happy that he was able to capture such a special moment that we’ll be able to enjoy for the rest of our lives.

extremely welcome, and the photos were to die for. I can recommend him enough. The attention to detail and timeliness was something we really wanted and he over delivered on our expectations

otos better than we could have dreamed possible! Another amazing thing was he literally delivered our entire album less than 48 hours after our session! We could not be happier and our only “issue” is we are still struggling with which pictures we want to frame because they are all so beautiful!!

ent smoothly. Could not recommend enough!

promptly. He not only took hundreds of amazing photos, he assisted in planning and coordinating our day. Even calmed me down when I was late to my own wedding! Lol. He is so sweet and works with you to get all the photos you want on your special day. We are so grateful that we found Wesley and will enjoy our photos forever. Even months after the wedding we can’t stop looking at them! Best wedding photographer ever!

as possible. He prioritized us and what we wanted and I could not be more thankful! Wesley is such a talented photographer and his photos are to die for! As a couple who rarely takes photos, he was able to guide us and make us feel at ease in front of the camera. His turnaround time is so fast. We were able to enjoy our photos from our special day right away and will continue to cherish them forever! I get constant compliments from our guests on the professionalism of Wesley and the quality of his photos. Do not hesitate and book him now!

ng and an absolute pleasure to have as a guest at our wedding. The level of support and guidance went way above and beyond anything we expected. And the photos, Wow! Every moment was captured beautifully, we felt like movie stars.

me. He uses his expertise to get the best shots and really helped us with coordinating everything. Wesley has a keen eye for detail and you can tell he cares so much about making your day special. Wes did an incredible job of capturing our moment and we will cherish our pictures forever. Highly recommend booking Wes now for your event! He is the best!

sneak peeks in a very timely manner and we cannot wait to get the rest of our wedding photos soon! From our initial inquiry to after the wedding - Wesley has always provided us with the best care and service. Wesley always made us feel comfortable behind the camera and we always had a fun time together. All our wedding guests thought that Wesley was a long time friend of ours based on the way he interacted with us - but to their surprise, our wedding day was only the 2nd time seeing him in person! I feel like that speaks volumes about the kind of person/professional Wesley is. Not only did Wesley provide us with incredible photos, but he helped bring a sense of fun, calmness and organization to our wedding day! Wesley helped keep our timeline going and did the best job at organizing our crazy families for cocktail hour photos. Wesley is the sweetest and most talented and we cannot recommend them enough for anyone looking for a photographer. Thanks again Wesley! -L+G

came out to Monterey to take pictures at our special spot on the beach! Captured my soon to be husband's reaction when first saw me because I couldn't see without my glasses and that picture means sooooo much to me you can actually see the tears in his eyes! Thank you!!!! Wesleyhardenphotography@gmail.com 😊 💓

n and put everyone at ease instantly. Being the bride I was a stress case and Wesley calmed my nerves and gave me pep talks all through out the day. I cannot say enough good things about him, his professionalism and of course his amazing eye! We are in Awe of all of our pictures! I would 10/10 recommend him for any special occasion you are having!

l together with me and my husband. Truly an amazing photographer! ☺

ographs that he was able to capture. Not only did he take amazing photographs, he was also very personable and made us feel comfortable while he took our pictures. We definitely recommend Wesley to anyone who needs a photographer; he is the best!

dibly quickly which is doubly impressive because he had three weddings that weekend so I know he was slammed with work and he still managed to get it done. On top of all that, having a photographer that is familiar with the area really helped put our minds at ease because we knew we wouldn't have to worry about him being late or getting lost which is not the kind of stress you want to deal with on your wedding day. Overall we couldn't be happier and if we ever get some anniversary pictures taken, we know exactly who we'll be talking to.

e. Additionally, I contacted about 10 photographers and Wesley was the most timely and responsive. Very professional! My husband and I are also picky with punctuality, I was so surprised that Wesley was at the meeting spot earlier than me. I'm normally the first one everywhere I go but Wesley beat me haha Such a professional and fun person to work with. Lastly, we received our pictures and they are amazing. I cannot stop looking at them :).

he is a skilled photographer and does amazing work, but he was also easy to work with and made us feel comfortable. He is extremely knowledgeable about lighting and poses, but also takes into consideration anything you want specifically. I would defiantly recommend Wesley for any photoshoot! Thank you Wesley, we love our photos!!

ature enthusiasm, he quickly hopped onboard for the entire experience. With his radiant amicability, Wesley also did a wonderful job of helping us feel relaxed and comfortable from before the ceremony up until the very end of our wedding weekend. We are so grateful for the images he captured from our big day. He has such an eye for color and candid moments! My family still speaks highly of Wesley to this day for what a positive impression he left from our wedding. Not to mention our breathtaking PHOTOS that we will forever cherish. We love Wesley!!

tiple times leading up to the proposal, easing my nerves and answering any questions I had. He helped me select a perfect location, time frame, and helped make sure the whole proposal (and our photo session) went smoothly. I would recommend Wesley to anyone that is looking for a photographer in the Yosemite area and beyond! Our photos turned out beautifully and will give us a chance to remember that day and moment forever. THANK YOU WESLEY!

y recommend him in a heartbeat!

o wasn't already enough, after speaking with him, we knew he was the man for the job. Professional, spirited, and talented hardly say enough. Wesley not only captured our day, but provided us with a plan that went above and beyond. His attention to detail blew us away, and the final results speak for themselves. We are forever grateful for Wesley and his many talents!

ble of locations, and ensures your shoot experience will be fun and seamless.

pert in Yosemite and the spots and was able to plan out our timing and spots for us which was a huge relief.
