Timeless Wedding Photos

William was incredible to work with for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. From the beginning, he made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made a huge difference since we are not naturally posey people. Our engagement photos came out beautifully and got us excited for the wedding, and he somehow topped that on the big day. He captured every detail and moment so naturally, and the photos feel timeless and genuine. He was also calm, organized, and great at guiding us without making anything feel stressful. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our day.

Wonderful experience - would recommend him to anyone!

It was a true delight working with Will throughout our engagement and at the wedding. At our engagement shoot, we were initially pretty shy in front of the camera, and Will kindly helped us open up and captured photos that felt like *us* and that we cherish to this day. Will had no problem handling our big, boisterous families on our wedding day, getting all the shots we could have wanted and more, including precious shots of older relatives. The whole day (start to finish) was captured so beautifully, and the photos have a warmth to them that reflect Will's technical talent. Throughout the whole process, he was also responsive, patient, and thorough. He was also just enjoyable to be around! We would recommend him to anyone.

Perfectly Captured the Day

Working with William was one of the best decisions I made. He was always super responsive and my wedding photos exceeding my high expectations. What I love about William is how easy going he is. Not all photographers are like this, but he really made my day stress free while still capturing amazing photos. My parents commented on how well he seemed to know who everyone was and focus in on them throughout the day. He made sure to get every single photo on my shot list and I really couldn't be more satisfied with how the photos came out. Book him for your wedding. He is so nice and amazing at what he does.

Amazing photography!

William did an AMAZING job as our wedding photographer! The pictures are absolutely stunning! Every moment was captured perfectly. After booking him for our engagement photos, we knew the wedding photos would come out just as lovely. Highly recommend William Hendra Photography!

Fall Fairytale Photos

William Hendra is a stunningly talented wedding photographer, with an eye for narrative and unstoppable energy that impressed me as both a bride and a professional literary critic. My husband and I identified William as our top-choice photographer due to his approach to documenting the story of a wedding through a combination of candid photographs and personalized posed shots. When I say “personalized,” I mean that William took the theme of our fall fairytale wedding literally and on the day of my wedding, drove my husband and me to local trails and fields to capture all the whimsy and magic that we had hoped our celebration would hold. William found snatches of scarlet leaves before they were fully in season, lavender wildflowers, and stone walls overgrown with ivy that made our initial photoshoot look exactly like the illustrations from my favorite childhood fairytales. More importantly, William’s calm, kind presence during the photoshoot helped me relax before my ceremony and prepare to truly enjoy the evening. Back at our venue, the gorgeous Mountainville Manor, William was everywhere at once. Many of our guests commented on how discrete, polite, and present our “team of photographers” was; when we told them that William was responsible for quickly, quietly, and constantly taking our thousands of photos, they immediately asked for his contact information. I have a feeling that William is going to be booked solid once my girlfriends start walking down their aisles, so I’d recommend contacting him now for your wedding!

One of our favorite vendors!

We hired William as our wedding photographer and it was one of the best decisions we made! Not only does he capture moments you didn't even knew happened, ensure you get your photos from your shot list, AND grab the best candids - but he's also incredibly nice and easy to work with, and got our photos back to us less than 3 weeks after our wedding. Our pictures are stunning and I'm so thankful that we'll have these gorgeous memories to look back on for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much again for everything!

William is amazing!

William is absolutely amazing. I loved how in all of his photos he had great action shots. When we received our photos (which we received in 2 weeks) he did not disappoint. We were so amazed at all the candid pictures of everyone at our wedding. You can see everyone's joy throughout the day from start to finish. He captured every single detail of our wedding. I'm so grateful I get to relive the day everytime I look at the photos, it brings me such joy. William is amazing at what he does and he was always quick to respond to all of our questions. Thank you so much William for being part of our special day.

Great Experience!

William was by far one of the best vendors we booked for our April wedding. He was incredibly professional, communicative, and talented. He was very thorough and made sure to keep in touch with my fiance and I as our date approached. He kept us on time without ever rushing us or making us feel stressed. He blended in to the point where we were not always cognizant that our picture was being taken which lead to amazing candid shots, but also was great at suggesting other poses, making sure we were getting the shots we requested as needed. We received our full wedding album less than 3 weeks after our wedding. Would highly recommend booking with William Hendra!

Stunning photos and wonderful to work with! Highly recommend!

William was a dream to work with as our wedding photographer! We found him through our venue's list of preferred vendors and fell in love with his candid, full-of-light, full-of-emotion photography style. We got married last month (April 2023) at the Mountainville Manor in Mountainville, NY. William was punctual, easy-going, and such a professional. He was flexible when we were running behind for the first look, blended in effortlessly throughout the day's events, and took so many truly gorgeous candid photos that he was able to get to us within two weeks of the wedding (!!) -- we can't believe they're all ours! William's work brought out the best in us, our loved ones, and the little moments that made our day so special. He made every step in the process seamless and stress-free. We would absolutely recommend that you hire WRH Photography for not just your wedding, but any occasion/moment that you'd like to have captured flawlessly!

William is the BEST!

William was the absolute best! We had a few friends that hired him for their weddings, so we already knew our pictures would be beautiful and he did not disappoint. I love that his photo style is more true to natural colors and he focuses on capturing authentic moments. Leading up to the wedding he was very organized and quick to respond back to any questions and created a perfect timeline for the day. On the day of the wedding he was so nice and super calm, he did not make me feel stressed at all when I was running behind schedule. We were able to do all of our posed pictures ahead of the ceremony, I sent over specific shots I wanted and they came out better than I could have imagined! Throughout the night he captured so many candid moments on the dance floor and my husband & I, and our guests that I will cherish forever. We received our pictures back completely edited within a week, and there were so many he truly did not miss a moment! EVERYONE has been raving about the pictures and we are SO happy with them. Hiring the right photographer is a huge decision, we are beyond happy that we went with William. Thank you William for making my wedding photo dreams come true!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
