The pictures are a freaking dream!

Wyatt and Evan were literally the most fun photographers we have ever experienced! Wyatt even trudged through some Florida terrain to get some shots for our bridal party as well! They were so helpful from our first phone session with Wyatt all the way leading up to helping us pose and have some fun on our big day! We got our sneak peak within 5 days and are looking forward to the rest of the pictures! If you are someone who values photos and capturing memories in an artistic way- these are the photographers for you! Thank you so much, guys!!

Amazing to work with!

Evan was absolutely amazing to work with. All our guests commented on how they couldn’t wait to see the pictures because the photographer seemed like he was really great. And boy oh boy were they right! Our pictures were SO good. Next Best Men will give you a better than expected rate and the most beautiful pictures. Do not look any further!

Truly the next BEST MEN!!

Evan from Next Best Men was our wedding photographer for our summer wedding in the NC mountains. We had him come for 6 hours of photography. He did an amazing job capturing our day. Was very easy to communicate with and made sure to get all of our requested shots. All of our family and friends raved about Evan during the wedding. He was so friendly and easy going. I would recommend this group to anyone getting married as they travel all over the country!!

BEST Wedding Photographer ever!

I can't express how grateful we are to have hired The Next Best Men as our wedding photographer! Wyatt was professional and brought such positive energy to our big day. We had a small, intimate wedding of roughly 20 people and it was so important to us to capture this love in our wedding photos. Wyatt, thank you so, so much for capturing that love on our big day and the celebration that followed. Words can't express our gratitude for your skill and work and it just means the world to us! The Next Best Men as your wedding photographer is a MUST!

Absolutely incredible

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Wyatt from Next Best Men as our wedding photographer, and we can’t express how phenomenal he was. He was such a joy to work with from start to finish. He’s so fun to be around and truly incredible at what he does. Not only do we have some GORGEOUS portraits from the day, but he also captured some of the most candid, hilarious, genuine, and heartfelt moments that we’ll cherish forever. We spent at least three hours looking through the photos the first night he sent them and it was like getting a whole extra event out of the wedding for just the two of us to laugh, cry, and reminisce together. We're absolutely obsessed with them. If you want some really authentic and absolutely breathtaking pictures of your event, hire these guys!! You won’t be sorry. :)

Fort Myers Wedding with Next Best Men

Wyatt with Next Best Men was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. His energy and attention were absolutely outstanding. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who was as genuinely happy to do his or her profession before. I’d highly recommend Next Best Men for any event.

Fantastic!

We had Wyatt with The Next Best Men Photography take the photos of our wedding day. He was so kind and patient in working with us before, during, and after our big day! Very talented with a keen eye for posing great photos. We love every single photo from the day. Thanks again, Wyatt!

Terrific photos!

Evan has a wonderful, artistic eye to produce terrific wedding photos!! We love our photos! When budgeting, we had wondered if it was worth it to spend a large chunk on a wedding photographer. It is!!! We are now so glad that we have so many captured memories from our special day! Evan was so easy going and pleasant to work with. He made everyone feel comfortable and was great at getting those candid shots - even if it meant dancing on the dance floor with guests and then suddenly snapping a photo. Would most definitely recommend him for your wedding!!
