About

Building a true connection and understanding you two is my top priority. Because it's the best way I know how to provide you with the custom, one-of-a-kind, and fun experience.

Here are the steps we'll take together:

EXPLORE: Reach out and you'll hear from me faster than love at first sight. We'll get to know one another, I'll learn about your plans, and I'll start mapping out special ways to capture your day.

GET COMFORTABLE: We'll continue to connect and build our relationship over the next few months. During that time, you'll have my support and guidance every step of the way. And by the time your day arrives, we'll feel like family.

ENJOY: Once the celebration is finally here, the only thing left for you to do is have fun, be in the moment, and let me capture every emotional moment, every hue of the sunset, and every detail of your epic day as it unveils.

Combining emotion and romance, with a hint of mystery and wonder. These photos will tell your story in a one-of-a-kind way. Documenting your love differently from any other. And allowing you to re-live it with your love ones in the most special way.

You won't get standard images, because you're not hiring a standard photographer, with a standard style.

Instead, every piece you see is creatively crafted in the camera and in the moment.

No posing. No photoshop effects.

Just unscripted magic, art, and passion behind the lens.

And with completely custom packages, the entire experience is designed around you. So you'll not only have a one-of-a-kind gallery and film, but a personalized experience too.

A true professional...

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Wes. For one, he is very reasonably priced and provides a style of photography we both like. For two, his personality worked well with mine, and as a bride, that is very important. I am a high-energy, high stress, in-charge, pushy individual and having vendors with a calming presence around me on my wedding day was key. When I first met with Wes, I warned him there may be times when I needed to tell him to back off with pictures, and he assured me I wouldn't even notice he was there (and he was right). We received our previews within a week of the wedding, and our full album in just under a month. I am truly grateful that I found Wes because he was a consummate professional who was fantastic to work with.

Experienced and Friendly

Wes goes out of his way to make the day perfect. My wife usually wants to plan out every detail, but Wes seemed to take care of everything and help put her mind at ease. He helped direct me and my groomsmen of how to pose since we don't typically take pictures. He was easy-going and his services were a great value.

Best. Photographer. Ever.

Wes was an absolute dream! Not only do his photographs make you feel like you belong in a magazine, but he's one of the kindest and most genuine people you'll ever work with. He worked with us leading up to the wedding to make sure he knew exactly what was important to us. He came early to capture memorable getting ready photos, unlike some photographers that only show up at the event. He captured both the small details and the overall atmosphere of the day. He even edited a handful of pictures immediately for us so we could post on social media a few real pictures instead of waiting weeks for a gallery. He is passionate about weddings and photography and it shows in every aspect of his work.
