  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.

  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.

  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.

  Wes is the Best!

  Wes is an incredibly talented photographer and has a keen eye for beauty within various aspects of weddings. I had a traditional South Indian wedding ceremony followed by a fusion Cuban-Greek themed reception. He was able to capture the vibrancy, familial traditions, sentimental emotions, laughter, and love from start to finish – leaving nothing behind in between. He was punctual, reliable, flexible (i.e. starting at 5:30AM and ending at 11:00pm!!), and super friendly. He made everyone feel at ease, being professional & “in the zone” while also blending right into the festivities. He worked with me and my fiancé before hand to figure out specific preferences and needs but was also able to implement his own style and creativity, to capture candid moments. Wes is extremely gifted and 100% dedicated to making your event come to life through his photography. I am beyond thankful for his comradery and artistic mastery, and will recommend him to everyone!

  One of a kind

  Wes is one of a kind. He truly became what seemed like family over the years time of working with him. He did our engagement photos and we thought those could not be topped. We were wrong the wedding pictures were amazing as well. We cannot wait to blow up the pictures and hang them around our house! He captured every amazing moment!

  Look no farther!

  Absolutely amazing is probably the easiest way to describe Wes and his art. Hands down, Wes was the best decision we made in regards to our wedding vendors. His talent and knowledge of photography is second to none and you can really see this passion showcased in his art. Not only is Wes an amazing artist, but he was absolutely wonderful to work with. Wes was always available to chat and was extremely responsive to my many emails and asks.
  With him, I knew we were 100% taken care of, and there is truly no better feeling than that for a bride. I hope that Wes can continue to photograph and be a part of our many future milestones. I was so happy he was able to be a part of our engagement and wedding day. We cannot thank him or refer him enough!!

  Amazing, went above and beyond

  Wes was willing to try new things and just go above and beyond. He wanted to do our engagement photos on the top of a mountain and we stayed there all day watching the clouds roll in. He got the most amazing photos that day. Then for the wedding we added things to try. You won't regret hiring him!

  Wes is very talented and has a way to make photo shoots fun. I feel that his pricing is very competitive and all in all, we're delighted with everything so far!

  Wes takes the most beautiful photos! He is experienced with what he does and always knows how to get the best shot! He is also kind and professional. He makes you feel at ease. Even if you are camera shy he will help you with poses and always gets the best natural photos. Thank you Wes for being a crucial part of our special day!!

  We thought Wes was awesome. Extremely professional while also displaying an obvious passion for photography. Really appreciated his ability to listen to our ideas and make suggestions for how to implement them. Also hugely appreciated his flexibility and willingness to tailor to exactly what we were looking for. Not to mention, the photos turned out to be absolutely gorgeous, everything from the engagement session all the way through the wedding day -- and even the sunrise photos on the day after the wedding! We'd give our highest possible recommendation to Wes for any occasion.

  My husband and I wanted to get back to a more traditional style of weddings, so we looked for photographers that would capture moments and memories, candidly. We requested no cell phones or hashtags at our weddings. Instead we wanted our friends and family present with us and a part of the moments, rather than playing professional photographer with their phones. Wes's style and approach was exactly what we were looking for. The memories he captures are priceless and rare, and that makes them that much more special. He wasn't trying to force moments, have us fake laugh to try to capture an experience, or fake cheers or jump in the air or any of that posed nonsense ... he captured what was natural and what was real and what was actually happening on our wedding day. It was an amazing experience to have everyone present with us. The website provided with Wes's service allowed our guests to access all those moments and print them in various capacities - photos, cards, frames, calendars. Wes is very dedicated to what he does and truly enjoys capturing the moments shared between two people and the loved ones that surround them. He took the time to get to know our personalities and molded to capture what was important to us. I highly recommend Wes and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

  We feel so blessed to have found Wes Shinn Photography. Wes is a true professional and has the most passion for his craft that I have ever seen in my life. The amount of time and effort he put into making sure that everything was perfect showed from day one. He met with us multiple times to talk about our desires and just chat. Wes literally made us so many memories that will last a lifetime that I can never thank him enough. We now consider Wes a friend and would reccomend him to anyone.

  I am so thankful I found Wes for our wedding. Pictures were one of the most important things to me when it came to our wedding, and Wes more than held up to my high expectations. He did a phenomenal job with communicating prior to our big day and took a lot of time out of his life to meet with us several times prior to our wedding day to get to know us and for us to become comfortable with him. He blew us away with the time and effort he put into our engagement session and rehearsal dinner and turned our pictures around in a matter of a couple of days. His passion and love for photography clearly shine through in his work, and am so thankful that we found and selected Wes to capture our special day. The pictures he took on our wedding day were absolutely perfect and we could not have asked for anything more. Furthermore, what you get for his charges are more than well worth it. I cannot say enough about how happy we are. You won't regret choosing Wes to capture your event whether it be a wedding, family gathering or another event.

  Wes is an amazing photographer! My husband and I were married April 14 2018 and the photos Wes took exceeded our expectations. He has a wonderful eye, especially in capturing sunset landscapes. The ones he took of us during sunset are some of our most favorite pictures. Wes is very professional and wanted to get to know us before the wedding in order to capture our personalities. He is truly gifted and made the best effort to capture the things that made our wedding special.

  Wes is a great photographer to work with. We had less than 2 months to plan our wedding and he was very flexible with both our short timeline and limited budget. I highly recommend him!
