There is no one better for the job

Seriously, if you hire anyone other than Will, you are going to regret it! I went to the Portland bridal show, not really looking for a photographer at the time, but he stood out to me and by the end of our conversation I was sold. Will was so easy to work with and was very quick about answering my million random questions that come with planning a pandemic wedding. On the day of, Will and Allen made the day that much more fun! They helped make the day go so smooth and even stepped up and did things that needed to be done when they didn't have to. Allen helped bustle my dress when my bridesmaid was struggling to do so. They made sure I was drinking water, because on your wedding day, that is the last thing you think of. Even a month later, I still have people telling me how amazing our photographer was and how they both made the day even more memorable. I am pretty sure I got more complements on Will than I did anything else about the wedding! I can not recommend them enough. I was 100% stress free on our wedding day because I knew he would get the job done correctly and make it even better than I imagined. They both certainly exceeded my expectations.

I can't say enough great things about Will and his son who worked together on our wedding. From the first day we met him we knew Will was going to be great to work with. He has crazy-fun energy and a great eye for angles, colors, etc. We first sat down with him over drinks to discuss our wedding details and left feeling like we wished he was our friend in real life. Great guy. Showed up on time to the wedding, jumped in with little to no guidance from anyone, took amazing photos of not only us and the bridal party but of our guests as well. We were so busy throughout our wedding day, it was great seeing photos of people smiling and having fun (some who we barely saw during the event). Also took amazing detail photos of all the little decorations I had poured a years worth of effort in to that were around the room.

Fun working relationship that resulted in amazing photographs. We couldn't be happier.

Absolutely amazing!!! That is all I can say about Will. He was so easy to work with and got some of the most stunning pictures I have ever seen. He has a great eye for amazing shots. He worked with us to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted (family formals and the such) as well as working with different setting and backgrounds. He even was willing to go down the middle of the road to get an old railroad trellace in the background. We also had our dog and he got some really sweet pictures with her. At one point during the reception I even forgot he was there so the pictures will look very natural. He gave us an accurate timeline for getting pictures back. I cannot say enough good things about him. If you think he is too expensive, think again and really compare prices and what you want (especially if you are like us and don't need a lot of fluff or extra things like wedding books or engagement shoots). For the quality of pictures we got, there was no better value. Finally, some advice: make sure you mesh with your photographer and have a connection. Will and I just clicked immediately and that increased my trust that he would get the best shots.
