The best wedding photographers!

Will Walker, and his lovely wife Jess, are a photography power-house. SO easy to work with, they make you feel so comfortable, well taken care of, and put everyone at ease. You'll not only love the pictures they take, you'll love just chatting and getting to know these wonderful professionals. Will and Jess have amazing photography eyes, they have an amazing artistic vision, and work with you to make sure they capture The Big Day perfectly and fully. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Will! Honestly, he is one of the most talented photographers. He truly made the wedding day look so magical. And his work is such of the highest quality I honestly feel like I did not pay him enough for his services. He also is such a fun person to work with and really makes everyone feel so comfortable throughout the day. And I love that he works so close with his wife. If you need a photographer, this is your guy.

I cannot recommend Will Walker and his wife, Jess enough. Wow, our photos are gorgeous. Will totally understood our personalities, made us a feel comfortable, and took beautiful shots. I wanted photos taken, but also didn't want to miss my cocktail hour, and Will was so quick that he got them all done AND we looked awesome. He's super laid back and the absolute best. Hire Will now. Stop looking. I'm serious. You found the right guy.

The best of the best! Our wedding photos were breath-taking! We had a great experience and they paid wonderful attention to detail catching the perfect photos at the perfect time in the perfect angle. I'm still amazed months later at how wonderful they were! I would strongly recommend them! If you're looking, use William Walker photography! You will NOT regret it!

I can't begin to describe how happy we were with Will and his assistant/wife Jess. They were responsive and punctual and so easy to work with. They were professional but very friendly and took the time to learn people's names and relationships. Plus they take some amazingly beautiful and creative photos! Will really took advantage of the beautiful winery/vineyard venue with our photos. And made sure we were having fun even when things were getting stressful. We still talk about how much we loved working with them. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

I loved working with Will and his wonderful wife Jess. From the first time we met over coffee, I knew he would be the perfect fit for me and my husband Jeff. Will and Jess took great pride in their work, and it really shined through in their portfolio. When Will met my husband Jeff, they hit it off immediately and while we described what we envisioned for our day, Will seemed to totally be on the same page. He kept in great contact with us leading up to our wedding day, making sure we had everything we needed and tossing ideas out back and forth. He made me feel at ease when the big day finally arrived, not making himself be known while taking pictures, but guiding me through and lending some helpful hints on what he was looking for when taking pictures without being pushy. At times we felt like he was not even there. I loved how he put up a first glance (a small amount of photos from the wedding) THE NEXT DAY so we could get a glimpse. To say our photos were amazing is an understatement. He captured candid moments, and after the ceremony took just the 2 of us to different areas at our venue to get diverse backgrounds and surroundings so all the pictures would not be in one spot. I HIGHLY recommend Will and Jess for your wedding, you will not be disappointed!

Will was outstanding from beginning to end. Very down to earth and calm (when we weren't) but also an extremely talented photographer. He used light very well and even got a shot of us under the stars when it seemed to be way too dark out. Highly recommend.

Will Walker is the best photographer you can have on your special day! He and his wife were so amazing throughout the day. They got all the pictures we wanted and so many more. We had two separate ceremonies ( a Christian and a Hindu) and Will was flexible with our timeline and making sure we got all the shots we wanted. He made us feel comfortable from the moment we met him, and having him do our engagement pictures was a great way to get to know him. We have gotten so many compliments on how great our pictures turned out from our wedding. You can't go wrong with William Walker Photography for your wedding or any other special event!!

Loved working with Will! He was amazing at capturing the atmosphere of the big day with barely any need for staging. It's been almost two years and we still love looking at the pictures.

Will was an absolutely incredible wedding photographer; our photos from both the wedding day and our engagement session are such beautiful memories and we constantly get compliments on them. He made us feel so at ease and comfortable, and did a fantastic job chronicling the day and catching special moments without being intrusive. I would recommend him without reservation to any bride!
