Aubrey and Phillip are amazing people! They are so nice, professional, and above all so talented. They were able to capture every detail of our special day and make it look so beau...
tiful. They were so easy to work with and worked really well with our videographer and wedding planner. They knew exactly what they were doing and captured us and our loved ones in the best possible way. Highly recommend them!
Phil and Aubrey Westlund are THE best! From the start, they were easy-going, accommodating, and honest, which immediately put us at ease. They were so kind and understanding to u...
s, and our families too!
Our wedding ceremony took place in our neighborhood park. We knew we wanted the photos we took beforehand with our wedding party, and our couple photos, to be totally representative of our beloved 'hood. We had a vision, but when we couldn't put our finger on specifics, they took the time to scope out amazing spots to take photos in. It was beyond what we could imagine! It will forever be so special to have wedding photos taken in places where we fell in love - in the back alley of my bachelorette pad, our neighborhood dive bar, in front of my husband's music studio. They captured these unlikely places in such an artistic, nostalgic way.
But the ceremony photos they took were the most special - capturing our facial expressions, our joy, and the beautiful afternoon light perfectly. Takes me right back everytime I see them!
They delivered our photos in such a timely manner, too. It was the best surprise ever to have received them while we on our honeymoon just a couple weeks after our wedding day! Cannot recommend the Westlund's enough.
Phillip and Aubrey are wonderful! They are so talented and professional. They captured everything beautifully and kept us on our timeline while keeping our day relaxed and fun. We ...
feel so lucky to have had them with us on our wedding day and to have their beautiful photos to remember it forever!
We have nothing but great things to say about the Westlunds! From the initial contact we made to receiving the finished product – they were a complete joy to work with. Our wedding...
was on the small side, so we just ended up having Phillip shoot the wedding and reception dinner. Days and even weeks after the wedding, our guests were talking about Phillip and what a wonderful person he was to have in attendance. I think Phillip was talked about more than anything else! This speaks volumes. We loved receiving their “preview” images from our wedding day just a couple of days after the wedding! This was such a wonderful surprise. We highly recommend this duo and their fantastic work.
Aubrey and Phillip Westlund of Westlund Photography are absolutely amazing. They photographed our San Diego wedding, September of 2019. When I found them via The Knot, I was drawn ...
to their journalistic approach to capturing beautiful images. Working with them up to the wedding was a joy. Their website offers some great tips that I found extremely helpful and it ultimately helped the day run so smoothly. On our wedding day, my now husband and I were a little nervous for pictures because we had never taken professional photos together. Aubrey and Phillip were so sweet and professional, they made the experience so sweet and fun! It ended up being my favorite part of our day! The images themselves are absolutely stunning. We are so thankful for the beautiful pictures we have to remember our beautiful day!
Phil and Aubrey are not only unbelievable photographers , but amazing people as well. They photographed our engagement shoot and we had WONDERFUL pictures, but the photographs they...
took at our wedding were truly lightning in a bottle. We felt like every picture took us directly back to that special day. They captured everything we hoped they would, and more.
from engagement pics to the wedding. Aubrey and Phillip captured the moments perfectly and are super fast in sending in the photos. highly recommended!!
Aubrey and Phillip are two amazing and artistic photographers with a unique photo-journalistic eye and a subtle style. We hired them for our engagement and wedding photos and I cou...
ldn't be happier! I loved everything they captured and would highly recommend them! Seriously so talented! Our wedding day was rainy up until right before the ceremony with mist afterwards, but Phil never let that bother him. Rather, he was excited about the unique atmosphere and truly embraced it - and it shows in our photos! Such beautiful photographs. Love love love! I would recommend them to everyone and would quickly hire them again in the future.
Words cannot describe, and there are not enough characters allowed in this review, to show our full appreciation and praise for Aubrey and Phillip Westlund. Besides their undeniabl...
e talent, Aubrey and Phillip created a warm and comfortable environment on our wedding day to help make our experience truly memorable. In our view, their personalities are what set them aside and why we will not hesitate to recommend them to others looking for talented photographers who will go the extra mile (literally, they traveled from San Diego, CA to Ocean Beach, NY for us). Do not hesitate booking the Westlund's!
Aubrey and Phil were an absolute dream. We can never ever thank them enough -- we are photo and video people so we were pretty picky about the vibe we wanted and they absolutely n...
ailed it. We wanted something organic and natural that felt like you were seeing your own memories instead of staged photos and WOW. Its so perfectly that. They were encouraging and gentle and calm and the perfect addition to any wedding day. We will cherish their work for our entire lives.
Westlund Photography are everything you want and more to capture the most important day of your life. When we started planning, I came across a wedding of theirs that they had done...
at our reception venue. From the second I saw the photos and showed them to my husband, we knew they were special and that they would be the perfect photographers for our wedding. After meeting with Aubrey and Phillip, it was clear that we were making the right decision. They are warm, friendly, and have the most beautiful aesthetic. We started off with having them do our engagement photos. We were so nervous but Aubrey and Phillip made us feel so comfortable and the photos turned out wonderful. Fast forward to the wedding and it was the same experience. They made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and their professionalism and calm demeanor truly put us at ease. Then, we received the photos from our wedding… My husband and I were truly blown away. Aubrey and Phillip managed to create a beautiful story from our wedding day and showcase not only their amazing work but all the work that we and all the other vendors put in to make our day so special. Wedding photos are so important and we made the best decision to work with Westlund Photography. If you want stunning photos that tell a story and want to work with two professionals with hearts of gold, go with Westlund Photography. We highly recommend them for any occasion.
Aubrey and Phillip are a dream team! They were so easy to work with, incredibly friendly and very professional. We used them for both our engagement and wedding photos and we are o...
ver the moon with the results! The way that they capitalize on natural light, get the best angles, capture your true feelings of love and joy - their work is truly outstanding. They were one of the first vendors we hired for our wedding and hands down the best decision we made in the process. It wouldn't have been the same without their amazing work!
I discovered Westlund Photography while scrolling Instagram in search of the perfect LA photography team for our DTLA wedding. Wedding photos and great cocktails were the two areas...
that were most important to me and my man so I did a ton of research.
Right away their style caught my eye as it had an authentic vibe I knew I wanted. Equally important, I needed someone patient as I hate taking pics - I get fidgety and awkward and it’s just not cute.
From my first call with Phillip I felt comfortable and was put as ease knowing I wouldn’t need to be some insta-model to get great wedding pics.
I also didn’t want to feel like there was paparazzi in my face the whole night. It was just the opposite. I hardly noticed Phil and Aubrey but in the end we got great wedding photos.
I go back and look at them at least once a week since the wedding and try and re live that day in my head. Lol
Thank you both so much for capturing our special day!
Aubrey and Phil were wonderful! They photographed our elopement and were so easy to work with; they made our day feel extra special from the start. We didn't really have a plan or ...
location, and they recommended the perfect spot. We are so happy with the beautiful pictures! We could not have imagined a better experience and would highly recommend them!
The couple arrived on time and chipper as can be! Aubrey stayed with us girls and was so calm while I was getting a bit anxious about the timeline. Her husband had a perfect plan o...
f attach and met with the boys as they were getting ready! They really are the perfect duo to split during pre-wedding photos based on the sexes and then reconvene to get different angles of similar moments. I loved the variety and the adventure during our photo shoot! I also really wanted formal photography for my family since this was literally the first time in our entire lives to do that and they were so gracious and accommodating. They just kept saying "this is your day." Beautiful couple and similarly as grand of photos!
Aubrey and Phillip did an incredible job! They captured our wedding day perfectly. Most important to us was that the photos look natural, and they nailed it. They shot our ceremony...
and reception, but also took the time to photograph details and candid moments of our guests. They both have a peaceful presence that was welcome on the day. We are so grateful to them for creating these memories for us. We would 100% recommend!
My husband and I traveled to San Diego from Illinois to get married at Sunset Cliffs at the beginning of this month. I researched several photographers in the area, but after comi...
ng across their website, I knew that Westlund Photography was the one.
Without a meeting or a phone call, Aubrey knew exactly what we wanted for wedding photos. Despite the unusually cold and windy conditions up on the cliff, she was still able to capture so much of the love and happiness of the day. She went above and beyond our expectations, and we are so appreciative of the memories she has provided us.
I would recommend Westlund Photography in a heartbeat for anyone looking for a down-to-earth photographer in the Southern California area.
Aubrey and Phil from Westlund Photography are amazingly talented and so much fun to spend time with! They have taken photos for my husband and I on three formal occasions: our enga...
gement, our wedding, and our first anniversary. Every time they communicated clearly and helped us to set up a timeline and know what to expect for our session or wedding day. They made us feel relaxed and at ease while shooting. We felt so comfortable in those moments that it was almost hard to believe the unique compositions and creative images that are made at the time! But having graduated with degrees in art, they both know what to look for and have beautiful visions for each photo they take. On top of that, their editing skills and post-processing decisions result in stunning images. I would describe the color and tone of their delivered product as both rich and timeless. We have printed many of the photos Phil and Aubrey took of us and love having them displayed around our house. It brings back so many memories and give us both a lot of joy! If you're thinking about hiring these two, honestly—don't wait! Get them before they are booked up!
As a photographer myself I took a lot of time to research who I wanted to capture my big day of Love. My husband I I met with a few photographers and fell for Aubrey and Phil the m...
oment we met them. They are such an amazing couple to work with and it shows in their photos how much they care and love what they do. They take a lot of pride in their craft and did an incredible job documenting our wedding.
We are so happy with our photos and even our guests commented on how beautiful our photos came out. Aubrey and Phil went above and beyond to make sure they got all the important details.
I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a photographer :)

appier with what we received! We immediately felt comfortable around them as Aubrey and Phillip are two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. They're the best!

ts on how gorgeous our photos are!!
They are punctual, calm, fun, caring, considerate & creative. They made us feel SO relaxed on both occasions, our engagement photos we were feeling nervous at first and a bit awkward and Phil and Aubrey instantly made us feel so calm and were amazing at making it all feel so natural.
On our wedding day, they were INCREDIBLE! The traveled to Canada to shoot our wedding, they made the whole experience so smooth. I can't imagine better photographers to have with you on the most important day of your life! They are brilliant behind the camera, and they are such a joy to be around, a killer combo! I can't say enough just how much we loved having them shoot our engagement and wedding photos. The photos they took are simply stunning, the depth, color, vibrancy, and the moments they captured are a gift to us. Their ability to capture the beauty that surrounded us, and the people we love the most, wow, their photos are such a treasure to us! I highly recommend Westlund Photography for your wedding. I promise you, you will not be disappointed!
