Best decision to book Westley. The team took all my worries away. Pictures are absolutely amazing and they are all amazing people. Definitely calmed all my anxieties.
Worth EVERY penny! Wes and Chelsea are genuine people. You can be your complete self and they become not only your photographers, but friends. I would hire them again and again and will always recommend them to all.
He was amazing! They all 3 were! Friendly, reliable, personable, fun, energetic! Got some amazing photos to last a lifetime!
As two very camera shy individuals, we were incredibly nervous about taking engagement pictures and pictures on the day of our wedding. Wes did an amazing job directing us and making is feel comfortable during the process, and was also very helpful on the day of. He kept pictures quick and painless, and even helped my maid of honor practice fixing my train before the ceremony. We got to see pictures from the day on a sideshow during the reception, and we're so excited for our reveal!
Wes and Chelsea were SO wonderful to work with for our engagement shoot and our wedding! They were so easy-going when it came to photo locations, timelines, and ensuring we felt comfortable in front of the camera. The two of them travelled 4+ hours for our wedding (and are willing to travel farther should you be interested), and made sure that we received high-quality work throughout the wedding day. We were so impressed (along with our wedding guests) that they had a slideshow of preview photos ready to go at the wedding reception itself! My husband and I absolutely made the right choice of booking Wes & Chelsea - they are wonderful for couples/groups that don't feel photogenic, because they will definitely prove you wrong ☺️
Wes and his wife were incredible for our wedding! We loved working with them and they were so helpful not only on the day of but in the planning process leading up to the day. They helped us figure our schedule for the day of and made sure that everything flowed well. They were always willing to go that extra mile to make sure they got just the right shot. We absolutely love looking back at our pictures and our highlight video is so well done. He even got our pictures back to us faster than he promised. We couldn't be happier with Wes and Chelsea!
Wes is such an amazing photographer and so much fun to work with. He and Chelsea were really an invaluable part of the wedding itself. He not only helped immensely with timeline planning, but is very good about calming nerves up until the day and during the day too. He has such a calm demeanor. If you want a photographer that will blend in with your wedding and get amazing shots without being in the way hes amazing at that. He also helps guests get good personal photos on their phone. I cannot stress enough how his work is amazing too. Best investment I put into this wedding!
Wes is such an amazing photographer. From day one, he had such a chill personality and we never felt any pressure to book him for our wedding. When we did book him, he offered such a wide variety of affordable packages and add-ons, the must have being the Photobooth! Do it! You won't regret it. Everyone at our wedding loved it and it was fun looking back at those photos and seeing the goofiness of people who are normally more shy in front of someone taking their picture. From the engagement session to the wedding day itself, he captured the best in us and our guests. His wife, Chelsea, who also is a second photographer, is amazing too. She was helping assist on our wedding day and not photograph, but when I cried at our first look and made my makeup so splotchy, she jumped right in and was able to fix it. They were both so helpful with so many things. And Wes is a ninja, there's no other words to describe him. Seeing our photos at our reveal I was like "How did you get this shot? I didn't notice you there, or there and you were right next to me for this". Wes wanted us to have such an amazing day and he did. And our guests loved him too. I don't think the reception had been going on for an hour before he had a laptop up by the bar for our guests to see the pictures he took earlier in the day. And when we finished up our last picture for the night, they presented us with a little Polaroid album of the main moments. I cried it was so sweet. Seeing the reveal of our photos brought more happy tears because he captured the wedding so well, it was nice to revisit that day. I can't recommend them enough!
We were so excited to work with Westley Leon Studios for our wedding day! We worked closely with Wes to make sure we chose the right package that suited our needs and wants. We ended up getting a photographer, videographer, and also the photo booth! We got to work with 2 of their associates, Rick, and Fernando. Rick was easy to work with and was able to give us directions as we needed it a lot! Haha! He also took our engagement pictures. During our wedding he was ready to capture all the moments we wanted. Fernando our videographer and Rick were very patient when it came time for me to get ready, as we ran into difficulties figuring out the corset back! They were very patient! They helped capture all the family portraits we wanted and even captured our private vows! Highly recommend this company! The photo booth was also a hit and everyone loved it! We can’t wait to see the full results of the day!
THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS HANDS DOWN !
I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding last summer & they hired Westley Leon Studios for the big day. As someone who dreads having there picture taken, it was amazing how comfortable Wes and Chelsea made us all feel right away! They made everything SO FUN and relaxed while also being professional.
Multiple times I saw them checking in with the bride and groom asking they needed anything or could help with anything throughout the day. I really can not say enough good things about these two! I recommend them to everyone planning a wedding now!
We are SO grateful we chose Wes and Chelsea to be our wedding photographers. They both have such great personalities and fit right in with our family and friends. My husband and I are both kind of awkward when it comes to being around new people, but we felt so comfortable with Wes and Chelsea. Since the day we hired them, they have been so helpful. We had our first meeting over zoom to go over what we wanted and Wes sent us over the pricing. Not once did we ever feel pressured into chosing Wes. But just based off of our meeting with Wes and his portfolio, we knew we WANTED this guy! Wes sent us over so much helpful information to guide us through the wedding process and when closer to the wedding he sent us a survey to make sure he understood our expectations and to be aware of any special moments we wanted to make sure were captured. By the time dinner was over at our wedding, we ALREADY had sneak peeks of our pictures. Wes and Chelsea also made us a polaroid photo book, which we absolutely loved! If you are looking through these reviews trying to decide if you want to hire Wes and Chelsea, get them BEFORE another lucky couple takes them! They are absolutely AMAZING!
P.S. GET THE PHOTOBOOTH! It was a hit at our wedding! Our guests were taking pictures all day and night long.
Wes and Chelsea are absolutely, hands down, 100%, the best photography team ever!!!! Can’t say enough good things about them!!
I could not recommend the Westley Leon Studios team enough!!!!
I loved them before the wedding, but even more after the wedding. They were HUSTLING to get absolutely incredible photos. People at my wedding were even telling me how awesome my photography team was.
As a marketing person who dabbles in photography, I was impressed from start to finish on their customer experience, professionalism, and talent. Not to mention, they're super fun to be around. A great group to have with you for every moment of the best day ever. They made us feel calm and take care of.
They also "get it" when it comes to making a wedding special and capturing the moments. They're not doing this just as a side hustle, they're doing this because they're passionate about capturing your special day.
I'm just waiting for them to "blow up" on social and be flying around the world and I'll be able to say that I'm an original customer. Book them now!!
Westley Leon Studios really helped bring our day together and match the vibe of the day so well. Our families and friends couldn't stop telling us how amazing they were. Having them as our vendors through all this planning made it feel like we had wedding coordinators. Any questions or freak out moments (🫣 the bride) had they were there to reassure us that the day would be amazing and worked out the kinks with us.
We started our first wedding planning in 2020 and canceled the event 4 months before the date. We had a different photographer. We truly thank God that we canceled the event then because if not, we wouldn't have started planning a second one that led us to Westley Leon Studios.
Wes is easy to work with, fun, and down to earth. My husband and I have anxiety and social awkwardness, but Wes made us feel so comfortable and free to be ourselves. His wife, Chelsea, and his assistant were always in sync and there to help. I didn't worry at all about if an iconic moment was missed because they were on it. You could literally see our love, the fun people were having coming off the images/mini vidoes they captured. We wouldn't change a thing. Westley Leon Studios was perfect.
Wes did the photography for my wedding. He is an amazing photographer and just as amazing of a human being. We were absolutely in love with our wedding photos. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a photographer to meet with Wes.
Friendly, flexible, and tons of fun. His work is quality 👌🏻
I wish I could give 10 stars!! Wes and Chelsea were an absolute vital part of my wedding. I can not say enough good things about them. From the moment I met Wes at a bridal expo I knew I wanted to hire him. His genuine personality mixed with his professionalism makes him such an amazing person to work with. He is the ultimate hype man while also being the calm in the storm around you the day of your wedding. I literally cried when it was time for them to pack up at the end of the night because I didn’t want them to leave! Everyone at the wedding was telling me how awesome my photographers were as well. I never had to look around to find him or Chelsea, they were always there getting those shots. He knows how to capture your best angles and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Wes and Chelsea are both so humble and get the job done! You will not regret working with them!!
Wes and his wife Chelsea are absolutely amazing!! Help you calm your nerves and get the shot they need every time. Very easy to work with and go with the flow.
A long overdue review - Wes (& Chelsea) was hands down our favorite vendor to work with for our wedding. From our engagement pictures, to timeline planning and the wedding day, he was helpful every step of the way. It was so much fun having him part of our day and our pictures and video turned our AMAZING!! Our guests also loved him and so many complimented how fun he was. Everyone needs a Wes for their wedding!
Wes was 100%the best part of my wedding, when everything felt chaotic or outta control his calm, levelheaded-ness made me feel at ease. Everything he needed to get one was done so smoothly and flawlessly. He was so professional and friendly that all of my guests felt that he was family and didn't even realize that he was taking pictures. He was fun and professional, and there isn't one bad thing I could think to say about him. Pictures turned out beautiful and the photobooth was easy and fun!
Wes was beyond amazing for our big day! Such a fun outgoing personality, fits right in like family, and the pictures turned out better than we ever imagined!!
Wes was a superhero on our wedding day. It’s taken me almost a year to write a review because of how crazy our lives got. Right before our wedding we had a tragic accident in our family that resulted in the death of my cousin the day after our wedding. The day of the wedding was filled with so many emotions and that day Wes was more than a photographer. I’m not even sure that he knew of the accident but he went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. He was right there to bring a smile to my face, to be there to lend a hand in any way he could, and provide us with the most beautiful pictures to last a lifetime. I’m not sure Wes knows how important he was for so many reasons on our wedding day. If you are looking for an INCREDIBLE photographer and an even more INCREDIBLE person you need to go with Wes. His skills and his eye for photography are unmatched and he is such a joy to be around! If you are looking for a sign about what photographer to choose this is your sign CHOOSE WES!!!
Wes is amazing! If you’re looking for someone who can fit right into your group and make everyone feel comfortable, Wes is who you need! He was easy to work with and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. He gets to know each couple on a personal level which made taking photos extremely easy. He was able to show us some sneak peek photos during our wedding, and we instantly fell in love. By the end of the night, our entire wedding party wanted Wes to come hang out and be a part of our group. We can’t thank Wes enough!!
Wes, Chelsea and their team were amazing photographers and videographers at our wedding in April. They captured our day with such creativity and expertise. Not only were they so easy and fun to work with for us, but so many of our guests commented that they actually enhanced their good time at our wedding!
He did our engagement photos, as well, and they couldn't have been better. Wes brought out the best in us with intimate looks and loving gestures. He made us feel so natural, as if he wasn't even there capturing our day.
We recommend them whole-heartedly and will have another wedding in our family soon and will ask them to capture that one, as well. You won't be sorry if you choose Wes and his team to photograph your wedding or event. He genuinely cares and will do his very best to give you what you want and capture every moment of your special day! ❤️
Working with Wes honestly feels like working with a freind. Half the time you don't even know he is there because it always felt so natural from the ceremony to the reception it is all seamless. Highly recommend him for anything you need photography wise.
If you are searching for a wedding photographer, look no further than Wes. From our first conversation when considering booking him, to post wedding, reviewing our photos he was so personable and professional. From engagement photos to the wedding day, everything felt natural rather than forced poses. Wes made everyone in the wedding party feel comfortable and at ease with having their photos taken. His photos show and eye for detail that is truly spectacular. All of our photos came out beautify and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We are so happy that we went with Wes as our photographer.
Wes and his team were beyond amazing. Five stars is not nearly high enough! On the day of our wedding we received multiple remarks about how Wes and his team helped make the day feel special. The way they handled their craft was truly amazing. We felt less like we had hired photographers, and more like we had a few extra wedding party members. Their presence was actually a calming influence on an otherwise hectic day. While we definitely had deadlines to meet, Wes managed to keep us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. The entire team integrated with our group so seamlessly, and it allowed them to get some really amazing shots. We cannot thank them enough. The day would not have been the same without Wes and his team!
Hired Wes to be our wedding photographer after we saw what an amazing job he did at a close friend’s wedding. Even before we officially hired him he was so helpful and such a kind person. Honestly, we couldn’t imagine having anyone else be our photographer. Wes made us laugh and feel comfortable the whole time he was there. Most of the time we didn’t even realize he was taking pictures of us when he was. Such a fun and caring person to work with! Wes went out of his way to make sure things that didn’t even involve the photographs went smoothly for our wedding. You can’t go wrong with hiring Wes!
Wes went above and beyond what we ever would have expected from a wedding photographer, and we couldn't recommend him more!!!
1) He was SO FLEXIBLE -- hanging with us through two initial date changes and a final decision to hold both a COVID mini-wedding and a postponed reception. Throughout that entire process he responded with nothing but kindness and understanding, helping assuage our big feelings about everything. On top all of that, he was then kind enough to make a custom price package for us to capture both a couple of hours of pictures on our actual wedding as well as his usual full-day package on our postponed reception, and it was the best money we have ever spent.
2) We treasure the memories from our so much, and no one could have captured them better than Wes. He has the perfect blend of responsive to our needs/desires, the know-how to pose everyone when we didn't know what we were doing, and that photographer's eye to capture those beautiful, unexpected, candid moments. And not only did we receive all of our pictures in a super easy-to-navigate and easy-to-share online format, he also put together a beautiful slideshow of some of the top moments set to music.
3) Wes is SO FUN! He's the guy you want to have around on the wedding day, who fits in seamlessly with your wedding party and seems like another one of the crew.
If you're deliberating about picking a photographer, no need to look any farther than Wes from Westley Leon Studios <3
If I could give Wes and Chelsea 6/5 stars, I would. I seriously cannot recommend Westley Leon Studios enough. Our photos and highlight film turned out AMAZING, because Wes is absolutely incredible at what he does. He's more than just a photographer though; he feels like an ally and a friend, and a part of the wedding party. He managed to bring the crowd together and get everyone pumped, be in all places at all times without being intrusive, and brought an incredible energy to the entire event. He has an intuition for capturing important details and moments, and was such an amazing photographer that we had numerous guests tell us--unprompted--how incredible he was. Seriously cannot recommend enough!!! There simply aren't enough words to express all of the ways that Wes helped us--beyond just capturing photography-- on the day of the wedding and in all of the planning leading up to it. 150% recommend him-- you will never, ever regret it. We got a full wedding photography package from him, as well as a photo booth and highlight film. Absolutely everything far, far exceeded our already-high expectations. We will have these images for the rest of our lives, and could not be happier with them.
Wes was a DREAM to work with--BOOK HIM ASAP! We were originally scheduled to get married in Sept 2020, but were forced to cancel four months prior due to Covid. Calling vendors to cancel a wedding date is a nightmare during normal times, but with Covid on top of everything, we were very worried about complications. Wes not only made sure he was fully available for our new date in 2021, but he took the time to connect with us personally. He took the time to reach out to us on our elopement day and congratulated us both. He called and skyped and emailed with us continually in the months leading up to the big day, 'just to check in' and to make sure we were feeling secure, happy and didn't need anything. He helped us solidify the vision and theme for the reception, and made suggestions for fun activities for the guests. AND, when our videographer fell through at the last minute, Wes even used his own sound equipment and camera to record our ceremony, to ensure that my husband and I didn't lose a second of vows. WHAT WEDDING VENDOR DOES THIS?!?!😍Book this guy NOW before he fills up for the season (which he does FAST, his beautiful work speaks for itself!) and rest easy knowing you're in good hands and even better lighting with Wes!
We just got our wedding pictures and video Friday and OH MY GOD. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS ABOUT WES. When you get to do your reveal, he treats you like family. We got hugs, snacks and wine! The video is absolutely perfect, I’ve watched it probably 100 times now. I am so beyond blown away by our pictures. I knew I’d love everything before we got them but he did a million times better than I even expected!! Ugh we love you Wes!! Thank you so much for being so incredible! ❤️
A couple of years ago, after the first time my wedding was rescheduled due to COVID, my original photographer had to cancel because she was not available for the new date. A friend of mine, who is a photographer, sent out a request to Chicagoland photographers explaining that her friend needed a photographer for a 1920s themed wedding, but the catch was that it was also a Murder Mystery wedding, so it would be a little non-traditional.
I got several replies from photographers who were interested, but Wes from Westley Leon Studios was so unabashedly eager and excited to be a part of it, that it was really no contest. He met with my wedding planner and me via Zoom to get all the details. I--the worst kind of client--gave instructions like, “I don’t know, just, like, take some candid pictures.” Undeterred in his enthusiasm, Wes gave lots of options and walked me through some of the ideas and insisted that he can live in the moment (*spoiler* this turns out to be true).
We asked what would happen if, in the “unlikely event,” the wedding was rescheduled or cancelled again. He laid out his extremely fair terms which protected both of us and insured that someone would be at the new date even if he, himself, was unavailable. Two reschedules later, and he was true to his word. Luckily, he was still available to be there in person and did not lose an ounce of excitement.
As I had never planned a wedding before, I didn’t realize that “it’ll only take me about a half hour to get ready” was hilariously inaccurate. I know that he was excited to take pictures of us on the grounds because Allerton Park and Retreat Center in Monticello, IL has the greatest gems around the property. It’s like the photographer’s Mecca. Of course, I took way longer to get ready, so Wes moved back and forth between the bride’s and groom’s respective rooms and then moved around the mansion and property to get some absolutely beautiful pictures anyway. He was so patient and kind, and I feel bad that he didn’t get to realize his full vision (if he was upset about it, he never showed it).
The turn around time on the pictures was surprisingly quick, and they are beyond incredible. He’s right; he really does have an eye for catching the best moments on the spot. When I went through the gallery, it was like I was reliving every moment. I also relived other people’s moments because I totally caught my husband in a lie! (This was all in jest, of course, and an inside joke between us.)
Wes went above and beyond to capture each moment and produce such beautiful works of art from them. He’s flexible, easy to work with, and makes you genuinely feel like your day is actually the best day of all time. Pick Westley Leon Studios every single time.
Wes and his associate photographer Rick did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos. Both were experienced and provided helpful ideas while planning the big day. I highly recommend them both!
Wes did an AMAZING job with both our engagement and wedding photos! I could be so open and honest with him about exactly what I wanted as a vision and he delivered! I would choose him over and over again! I would recommend him to ever single person who asked for a photographer!
5/5 stars does not do it justice for Wes! He needs 20/5 stars! Our wedding photos turned out AMAZING and he is so easy to get along with and so much fun the day of! I had so many compliments from wedding guests about how professional yet fun he is and asked where did we find him?! Seriously, you will not be disappointed in hiring Wes.
Wes is a great listener with endless energy. Along with spectacular photography skills comes a team of energetic and creative geniuses who capture the most amazing vibes of the whole wedding party and guests. Unreal how comfortable everyone is around them and what fun they are to have at an event. Indeed the photographer you would hope for to have around and produce hella good results!!
Look no further than Westley Leon Studios! This guy is seriously one of the most genuine down to earth people we have worked with. Throughout our entire wedding process he's been amazing! He took our engagement photos and made us feel super comfortable which in turn shows in our pictures. During the ceremony I forgot my bouquet and he noticed right away and brought it out to me. Throughout the night he was always making sure we had everything we needed and that the guests were having a wonderful time. The photo booth was a huge highlight of the evening that everyone enjoyed. He made sure everything ran smoothly so we could have a memorable wedding. Truly a stand up guy and one of the kindest people we've had the pleasure of working with! I would recommend him for any and all of your photography needs!
Westley Leon Studios has been one of the best investments of our entire wedding day! Wes shout out to you! You are an incredible photographer!!! We had a member of our wedding say they had never been to an event where the photographer actually enhanced the event and experience! Thank you 100000000% for the wonderful service and we cannot wait to use you again in the future for other photography needs.
There are not enough awesome words to describe Wes! From our first initial meeting to our consultations, Wes was extremely communicative and punctual when it came to responding to any questions we had. My husband and I recently got married during the crazy pandemic and he reassured us over and over that he would have our backs and wouldn’t back out. You have no idea how much that meant to us to hear that! He honestly eased all of our worries :)
Additionally, He truly made our special day way more than just special. He made sure everything went smoothly and he even stayed for a bit longer than expected to take probably the best photos of the reception! You won’t get that with any run- of - the- mill photographer. If you are on the fence about hiring Wes, DO 👏 IT 👏 NOW. You will never find anyone better in the South Bend area! I can honestly and sincerely say this with everything I have :)
From the moment we met Wes we knew it was a done deal. He was so personable, answered all of our questions, and really made a connection with us. From our first venue burning down, to trying to plan a wedding during COVID-19, Wes was there through it all and supported us. He was prompt with communication and always reassuring us. We decided last minute to just get married at my parents house and with 48 hours notice he was instrumental in that. He wasn’t just a photographer that day, he held umbrellas when it rained, opened doors, and even offered drink refills. He truly does it all. My parents were unbelievably impressed and my dad is hard to please. We received the photos and they were amazing!!! Beyond our wildest expectations! A wedding takes on a life of its own, and Wes was there to capture all of the moments we will forever cherish. He wasn’t just our wedding photographer, he became a friend and I can not recommend him enough!
Totally awesome! Fast responses with a great personality, and 100% professional! We were not disappointed!
We couldn’t be more happy with our decision to choose Westley for our wedding photographer. When we were looking for photographers, we were looking for someone that would have a unique eye that would capture all the true emotions that go with the wedding day. We also needed someone that was experienced in taking pictures in low lighting since our venue was pretty dim. Westley was able to capture some AMAZING shots! He was very professional and made us feel like models! Westley really made our “day of” timeline really come together with ease--which made the whole day less stressful!! Our whole wedding party loved him as well. During the reception he was able to display a sneak peek of pictures for the guests to view. I couldn’t tell you how many people complimented his work!! Upon receiving all the photos, my husband and I were so excited!! The photos turned out beautiful and we will cherish them forever!! We cannot wait for our photo album to look back on!! Thank you Westley!!
From our initial phone call with Wes to our wedding day, he was excellent to work with. He took the time to really understand what we were looking for in a wedding photographer and kept us relaxed. He brought a lot of energy to our engagement session as well as the wedding day. He was one of our favorite wedding guests! Aside from being an awesome and fun person to work with, we love the photos he took and the creativity he used to make them unique and reflect who we are as a couple. We could not recommend him more and share his name with every person we can!
Wes was the best from the first time we contacted him with wedding photography questions (which we had quite the list) to the days after our wedding! We knew as soon as we started our engagement photo session that we were going to have a blast with him on our wedding day. Our engagement photo session in Chicago was awesome! Not only did we have a good time but we had beautiful photos that were fun, unique and captured how much love there was between my fiance and I. Leading up to our wedding day Wes answered all of our questions, responded so quickly to all of our emails even if it was late into the night and was very detailed on how our wedding day photos would go so that he didn't miss a thing. Both of our families and friends told us over and over how great our photographer was and our wedding party just loved him as much as we did! His use of natural lighting and getting the perfect moments are spot on! We appreciate the time and gorgeous shots Wes took of all of us. We can't wait to see more! We will definitely use him again as a photographer and definitely recommend him to others.
Wes deserves 30 stars, at least. From our initial conversations on budget through the final posting of photos, Wes was attentive, professional, and so fun to have around. In our engagement session, he was able to make my introverted fiance comfortable in front of the camera. On my wedding day, he reassured me regularly that we were on schedule and everything was fine. At our reception, he was able to display a small set of the day's photos on our venue's monitors, and our guests were delighted to see them first hand.
Your day goes by in a flash. Let Wes be there to capture all the big, the small, and the precious in incredible quality.
I'll do my best to summarize the awesome Westley Leon Studios without writing an entire novel. Wes's photography style is so fun and fresh. If you want beautiful wedding photos that make you smile so much your face hurts, book Wes NOW! He was incredibly easy to work with. Great personality and really knows what he's doing. He helps you figure out your day-of schedule/timeline and he's got your back the entire day, and not just with photography either. When we noticed a stranger had waltzed into the wedding for a drink, Wes was on it before I could even ask. He's really all about making sure you have the perfect day. Everyone who has seen our pictures has RAVED about them. We can't believe some of the shots he got. He captured every moment you could hope for as a bride. The pictures are so beautiful, it's truly like reliving the wedding every time we look at them. I will forever recommend Westley Leon Studios to people haha. Best decision we made!
My wedding day was perfect and Wes was by my side to capture it all. He worked with me and my crazy schedule and even gave me suggestions on things I was missing or creative ways of doing things. He was always available by text, call, or email. I would hire him to take pictures again in a second. The pictures really captured the personality of my family and it was captured in a elegant but fun way which is exactly how I wanted it to be. Wes is a cool guy with a great personality which makes working with him for all 12 hours fun and entertaining. He knows what he’s doing and won’t let you down.
Wes was amazing! We ended up not interviewing any other photographers after we met Wes; we knew he was a great match for us. His style is unlike other wedding photographers and his vision was exactly what we wanted. We met with Wes multiple times before and even after our wedding, we really created a friendship with him, which is something we did not expect. You can see how much he truly loves what he does and he has the energy and passion to prove it.
Wes was so professional, easy going, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable during both our engagement pictures and on our wedding day. Our bridal party had a blast with Wes and could not say enough good things during the wedding and after. We also received compliments from our guests on how great a good Wes and his team did.
We could not have asked for a better experience. The images are more than I imagined they would be. You can tell he loves what he does.
Wes, thank you so much for being part of our day!
Wes is amazing and does stunning work. He’s fun, energetic, professional and stayed in contact with us from beginning to even now. The photographs we got from him were absolutely breath taking!! I would recommend Wes to all my family and friends.
Hiring Wes as our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding day! From the time I met him a year prior, Wes made us feel as though we were the only wedding he ever thought about! His attention to detail is uncanny and we now have the most beautiful photos. Wes was very prompt and was always just a text away whenever we had any questions. Wes helped our day move along smoothly and even saved the day when our first dance song wouldn't play off our DJ's laptop! Wes's ability to capture the days moments is unreal and my husband and I feel so lucky to have him work for our wedding.
