About

I love telling stories with my photos and would love to tell yours. My style involves a documentary approach. For your portraits, I compose and direct to uniquely create natural and timeless images. Overall, my goal is to emphasize fresh and real images that you would love 10...20...60 plus years down the line.

Wale-- A Dedicated and Passionate Individual

Wale is very dedicated to his work and is pleasure to work with. He is very communicative, wise, and has an eye for aesthetics. He prioritizes dedication, is very responsive to emails, and is very clear and professional. I love how he values his family

If you don't hire Wale you're CRAZY!

Wale has become like family. I'm not a person who enjoys being in front of the camera but Wale made Gilbert and I feel so comfortable when we were shooting our engagement photos. He was patient with me when I got tired and wanted to end after our second outfit. Thanks to Wale we have engagement photos that look like typical engagement photos! The week before the wedding he had a call with us and our wedding planner to go over the process and to discuss any special photos that we wanted. The day of the wedding he was prompt and again he put us at ease. He worked great with the videographer and they were able to coordinate a lot of cool shots. He even surprised us with his pop-up photo studio! It added a nice touch to the reception and the photos came out great. We absolutely love Wale.

Wale's work is absoultly amazing; simply beautiful. He is not only a true professional but a real expert and artist of photography. He is very instructive, creative and detailed oriented; a perfectionist down to positioning of your fingers. He creates amazing, clean work and is dedicated to his craft and clients happiness. Beyond his work, I really appreciated his constant communication and flexibility. People are still talking about our pictures! I wouldn't refer anyone else for wedding photography but Wale. Your pictures will be absolutely flawless and breathtaking.

If you're looking for someone that takes more than just pictures for one of the most important moments in your life, then please look no further than Wale.. He not only creates stories with his pictures, but he makes you wish that everyday of your life was interpreted through his pictures. Wale went above and beyond for our wedding and worked with my budget without lowering the quality of his work as well. Thank you so much again Wale for your services and making our day!!

I was referred to Wale Photography by a coworker that had seen his work on one of her Facebook friend pages. So basically, I was shooting blind with setting up a meeting. I had met with several photographers but had concerns with their follow-up and professionalism.
When I contacted Wale, I knew he was going to be my wedding photographer. He was very responsive, professional, knowledgeable and experienced. During our initial meeting, he asked questions to get to know us better as a couple and details about our wedding day. Wale was so personable……By the end of the meeting I felt as if we were friends.
The day of our wedding, Wale arrived on early than the contract time ready to work. He was able to manage the bridesmaids and groomsmens to be sure they were not distracted while taking photos. Wale kept my spirits high to ensure that I didn’t have a “cry face” in all of my photos. I also loved the way he was able to navigate during the first dance, ceremony, cake cutting without being overbearing or really noticeable to my guests.
But there is one thing that I failed to mention………His photos were amazing. The clarity, shooting angle, and creativity of the photos were beyond belief. My wedding photos looked like a wedding out of a magazine. We can’t wait to use Wale Photography again and we are happy that we now have found our family photographer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
