Angela and Drew were absolutely amazing to have for our special day. They instantly felt like friends, making us feel comfortable which naturally led to amazing photos. You won’t be disappointed. -

Stop looking for photographers and just book The Willinghams aka Drew and Angela. Don't keep looking. Don't meet with other photographers, just book them. Why, you ask? Where do we begin?
1. You are actually dealing with Drew and Angela. Not their secretary. Not their big gigantic company. You get them for every mundane question you have. They own the company and take pride in themselves. You talk to Drew and Angela whenever you need something. So, on the wedding day, there is no doubt about who is showing up, it's them. It's been them all along. And I don't know what else you could ask for in regards to your photographers.
2. Their professionalism. From the day we reached out they showed us nothing but impeccable professionalism. They were timely in every email response (usually less than 24 hours), on our wedding day, they were early, and literally stayed with us until we were walking out of the venue ourselves, and then, getting our pictures to us. I have heard nightmare stories from my friends about chasing down their photographers, but not Drew & Angela. They had our photos to us in less than a month, and all we can say is WOW. They also worked seamlessly with our videographer. There was never an issue or needing to re-do anything because they are just the kindest and nicest people to work with.
3. Them. My husband and I are awkward. But we knew that Drew and Angela would make us feel comfortable. They spent the day quoting movie lines with us, talking about our beloved pets, and we never felt like we were being forced into awkward poses. We had shared our vision with what we wanted, and they made it come to life and even better than we could have ever asked for.
4. The feedback. Even as the wedding was happening, we had our guests coming up to us complimenting us how amazing they were. People were telling us how they were "everywhere, and yet not there" never making people feel awkward or that they were intruding on a perfect moment. But, they captured them. They captured all of them. I can't even begin express how happy we are with the pictures. They found cute moments,people raging, and even got an entire group of teachers to look in one direction for a table picture, which, up until now, I thought was the impossible task.
We wish we had another major event for them to photograph for us in the near future, but sadly, we can't bring them on our honeymoon to Italy with us. However, we will leave with this: if you are looking for artistic, beautiful and genuine photos, book the Willinghams. They will capture everything and more about your wedding day. From a quick fireball shot with your girls while getting ready, to the laughs you share with your soon to be husband, and every small and intimate moment with your guests in between. You are dealing with wonderful people who truly just want to make you feel amazing on your day, and they will.
They are one of kind and they make you feel that way as well. Don't keep looking. Book the Willinghams. You will not regret it! -

We absolutely LOVED working with Drew and Angela for our wedding photography! We first met them through our in-laws at their wedding, and we were so blown away by the quality of their work that we had to have Drew and Angela for our wedding. It wasn't even a discussion: we both knew! Drew and Angela were great to work with, and super communicative leading up to our wedding day. They drove from PA to upstate NY and did a full 9-hour day (from 12 noon or shortly thereafter to 9 pm). The turn-around for photos was 8 weeks. The photos are AMAZING! Their photographic style perfectly captured our day and made us look better than we've ever looked! We love our photos. Thank you, Drew and Angela, for an amazing experience. For future couples, you MUST use The Willinghams Photography as your photographer! -

AMAZING!! Wonderful Photographers!!
I couldn’t live working with Angela and Drew more! I found them through Instagram in 2018/2019 and knew immediately it had to be them. It’s nice when things fall into your lap that way. Our package included an engagement shoot which we did 10/2021, and it POURED. But by the look of our photos you’d never know. We have since recommended them to two of my coworkers for their weddings - I am that in love 😂. They have the most calming, professional demeanor and really made my day fun. I am a high anxiety person, and was getting frazzled at various points, especially when we were running behind. We ran into some time issues requiring us to switch the order of family/BP photos and they handled it flawlessly. I spent a significant of time with Angela the day of and she is just amazing. She helped with so many things - getting people in order, helped with some tricky buttons on my dress (just to name a few), general moving things along when needed. When we received our photos, I was blown away and cried so hard. Every time I saw something I wanted to tell them I loved, I easily found 10 more. So so so many beautiful, dreamy photos that tell a love story like I could never imagine. I am so happy with the family photos I received as I simply just didn’t have any with some family members, but now I can truly cherish some beautiful memories. The amount of photos we received were insane too! True artists at their craft. -

We knew as soon as we reviewed their portfolio that we wanted Angela and Drew to shoot our wedding. We loved their style and they are super friendly, fun and likable. They worked with us while rescheduling because we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. Drew was so helpful when I was creating and then revising our timeline due to the postponement and hotel changes. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out amazing. They helped us with posing and even fixed my hair when it fell out of place or looked funny. The day was so humid and hot (July wedding) and you could barely tell in the photos. They are amazing! -

If I could give Angela and Drew 10 stars I would. I didn’t have many expectations going into the experience (planning a wedding during covid and all) but they exceeded any and all. Not only were the photos AMAZING they were AMAZING. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed which can be hard to do when you are not used to having your photos taken, especially on a day where there is so much going on. When hiring a photographer you don’t just want great pictures but also a great experience and that’s exactly what they provided and I would hire them again and again! !!! -

From candid pictures at our best friends wedding two years ago, to our own wedding this year, we are still blown away at how beautiful our pictures are. There was one thing I was not going to sacrifice for our wedding and that was photography because pictures are memories, and memories last forever. We were set with using the brilliant Willinghams before we were even engaged. We are so lucky and so grateful to have had them be a major part of our wedding. We have these memories to last forever. -

Angela and Drew are so fun to work with and their photos are artistic and fantastical! They run around you each trying different things and their final photos are just incredible! In addition to being extremely talented artists, they are also very kind people. During these difficult times when our wedding was cancelled, they were there for us every step of the way. We are sad that we didn't get to work with them for our wedding, but thrilled that we did our engagement shoot with them. I highly recommend them for your photography needs! -

If you are reading this and wondering if you should hire them, stop thinking and just do it. Angela and Drew are incredible!!!! We just got married as Phase 2 of NY was reopening post pandemic. We had to compromise on so much in order to get married. We ended up with a very small socially distant ceremony instead of the big one and no reception but thanks to our incredible vendors it was a dream come true. Angela and Drew naturally know how to get the perfect shot and it’s not some stoic orchestrated effort. They capture the sincerity and authenticity of the moment. Besides their incredible talent, they are hilarious. We spent the entire time literally bent over hysterical laughing. It was SO MUCH FUN. I cannot say enough good things about them as photographers and as people. They were a complete joy. I hope we get to cross paths again some day just to have the pleasure of being in their company again. HIRE THEM. -

Fidelio L. Sent on 04/17/2019Best Wedding Story Tellers Ever
Choosing a photographer to witness & capture one of the most special days of your life is no easy feat when you know next to nothing about photography. I went with my gut, and my gut went with Drew and Angela.
So what exactly made me choose the Willinghams? First and foremost, their enthusiasm and shared love for Harry Potter and Star Wars was already a sign that we would be kindred spirits. The fact that they are a husband-wife team of >10 years in the business was also a plus; they communicate well with each other, know exactly how to help with each other’s shots, & provide 2 different perspectives of the day. On top of that, they are also great, professional, and down-to-earth human beings with hugely positive vibes. Angela is the absolute sweetest & Drew is such a comic. I could not have asked for a better team.
But what really drew me in was their portfolio - not only are the pictures beautiful & well-photographed, they also tell a story. The candidness of the pictures on their portfolio really drew me in and made me feel like I was a part of the couple’s wedding day. Even on the day of my wedding, they were like ninjas - capturing the most hidden moments that really helps me to relive the day over & over again. In fact, my favorite pictures are not of my husband & myself - but the pictures of my friends & family; the moments I might have missed because I was too busy being the bride. Seeing that other side of my wedding reception and really appreciating the Willinghams’ knack for blending into the background & capturing those genuine moments - it’s really a priceless gift to have been given. I cannot recommend the Willinghams enough to anybody & everybody. Your wedding will not be complete without them. -

When Love Photographs Love
We are beyond happy that we went with The Willinghams Photography. We booked them for their style and vibe for our September 28 garden wedding. Drew and Angela are amazing and truly captured our special day to fullest and their style, just wow! They make you feel comfortable and tone down the all the crazy stress of the day. And they are just one heck of a time! Just two crazy kids in love taking pics of two other crazy kids in love - can't beat that! We highly recommend The Willinghams to anyone and everyone! -

Look no further for the best wedding photographers
We booked Drew & Angela for our wedding and could not be happier. We were initially drawn to their work for their beautifully unique aesthetic. Artistic, creative, and full of life! Not only are they magicians behind the camera, but they are such lovely people. One thing that has really stuck with me since the wedding is how incredibly calming and supportive their energy was. I felt at ease whenever they were near. Logistically, they make a great team. They know exactly how to tag-team to capture a variety of shots with different lenses and angles at the same time! They were so efficient with time. We are also very thankful that Drew & Angela were a great help with direction during the large group portraits. When we received our photos afterwards, we were just blown away. Every single photo is a work of art. Thank you Drew and Angela for capturing our day perfectly. If we could give you guys 1,000 stars, we would. If you are on the fence about booking the Willinghams, just do it. Your future self will thank you! -

Suzanne Sent on 03/25/2020Nice Humans who do Beautiful Photos
The quality and style of Drew and Angela's work speaks for itself. What you can't see from their portfolio is what truly great humans these two are. You spend an enormous amount of time, on the most important day of your life, with your wedding photographers; and I wouldn't choose to spend it with anyone else. Drew and Angela went above and beyond for us and really seemed to care about us that day. They also met every deadline when getting us our shots. They said previews would come by a certain date, we received our previews. They said we would get all of our finished work by another date, we got them early. I love my photos and I could just live in them. They really take me back to that day. -
