  Best Wedding Photographer!

  Wes and his wife were incredible for our wedding! We loved working with them and they were so helpful not only on the day of but in the planning process leading up to the day. They helped us figure our schedule for the day of and made sure that everything flowed well. They were always willing to go that extra mile to make sure they got just the right shot. We absolutely love looking back at our pictures and our highlight video is so well done. He even got our pictures back to us faster than he promised. We couldn't be happier with Wes and Chelsea!

  Best Photographer & Videographer!

  We were so excited to work with Westley Leon Studios for our wedding day! We worked closely with Wes to make sure we chose the right package that suited our needs and wants. We ended up getting a photographer, videographer, and also the photo booth! We got to work with 2 of their associates, Rick, and Fernando. Rick was easy to work with and was able to give us directions as we needed it a lot! Haha! He also took our engagement pictures. During our wedding he was ready to capture all the moments we wanted. Fernando our videographer and Rick were very patient when it came time for me to get ready, as we ran into difficulties figuring out the corset back! They were very patient! They helped capture all the family portraits we wanted and even captured our private vows! Highly recommend this company! The photo booth was also a hit and everyone loved it! We can’t wait to see the full results of the day!

  Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Westley Leon Studios. We're over the moon to hear that you enjoyed working with Rick, Fernando, and the entire team! Your big day was special, and we're thrilled we could be a part of it.
  
  Rick mentioned how delightful your engagement session was and how gracefully you managed the little hiccups on the wedding day (they always make for good stories later on!). Patience, understanding, and flexibility are the unspoken ingredients of a perfect day, and you showcased them all. We're glad you loved the photo booth – it's always a hit!
  
  Anticipation can be so sweet, and we assure you, the full results will be worth the wait. Here's to reliving those beautiful moments over and over again.

  Highly Recommend

  We are SO grateful we chose Wes and Chelsea to be our wedding photographers. They both have such great personalities and fit right in with our family and friends. My husband and I are both kind of awkward when it comes to being around new people, but we felt so comfortable with Wes and Chelsea. Since the day we hired them, they have been so helpful. We had our first meeting over zoom to go over what we wanted and Wes sent us over the pricing. Not once did we ever feel pressured into chosing Wes. But just based off of our meeting with Wes and his portfolio, we knew we WANTED this guy! Wes sent us over so much helpful information to guide us through the wedding process and when closer to the wedding he sent us a survey to make sure he understood our expectations and to be aware of any special moments we wanted to make sure were captured. By the time dinner was over at our wedding, we ALREADY had sneak peeks of our pictures. Wes and Chelsea also made us a polaroid photo book, which we absolutely loved! If you are looking through these reviews trying to decide if you want to hire Wes and Chelsea, get them BEFORE another lucky couple takes them! They are absolutely AMAZING!
  
  P.S. GET THE PHOTOBOOTH! It was a hit at our wedding! Our guests were taking pictures all day and night long.

  You won't find another photography team as good as the Westley Leon team.

  I could not recommend the Westley Leon Studios team enough!!!!
  
  I loved them before the wedding, but even more after the wedding. They were HUSTLING to get absolutely incredible photos. People at my wedding were even telling me how awesome my photography team was.
  
  As a marketing person who dabbles in photography, I was impressed from start to finish on their customer experience, professionalism, and talent. Not to mention, they're super fun to be around. A great group to have with you for every moment of the best day ever. They made us feel calm and take care of.
  
  They also "get it" when it comes to making a wedding special and capturing the moments. They're not doing this just as a side hustle, they're doing this because they're passionate about capturing your special day.
  
  I'm just waiting for them to "blow up" on social and be flying around the world and I'll be able to say that I'm an original customer. Book them now!!

  Photography

  Westley Leon Studios really helped bring our day together and match the vibe of the day so well. Our families and friends couldn't stop telling us how amazing they were. Having them as our vendors through all this planning made it feel like we had wedding coordinators. Any questions or freak out moments (🫣 the bride) had they were there to reassure us that the day would be amazing and worked out the kinks with us.
  We started our first wedding planning in 2020 and canceled the event 4 months before the date. We had a different photographer. We truly thank God that we canceled the event then because if not, we wouldn't have started planning a second one that led us to Westley Leon Studios.
  Wes is easy to work with, fun, and down to earth. My husband and I have anxiety and social awkwardness, but Wes made us feel so comfortable and free to be ourselves. His wife, Chelsea, and his assistant were always in sync and there to help. I didn't worry at all about if an iconic moment was missed because they were on it. You could literally see our love, the fun people were having coming off the images/mini vidoes they captured. We wouldn't change a thing. Westley Leon Studios was perfect.

  My favorite vendor to work with!

  Wes and Chelsea were an absolute vital part of my wedding. I can not say enough good things about them. From the moment I met Wes at a bridal expo I knew I wanted to hire him. His genuine personality mixed with his professionalism makes him such an amazing person to work with. He is the ultimate hype man while also being the calm in the storm around you the day of your wedding. I literally cried when it was time for them to pack up at the end of the night because I didn’t want them to leave! Everyone at the wedding was telling me how awesome my photographers were as well. I never had to look around to find him or Chelsea, they were always there getting those shots. He knows how to capture your best angles and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Wes and Chelsea are both so humble and get the job done! You will not regret working with them!!

  A "lmust have photographer

  Wes did the photography for my wedding. He is an amazing photographer and just as amazing of a human being. We were absolutely in love with our wedding photos. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a photographer to meet with Wes.

  Best part of my wedding!

  Wes was 100%the best part of my wedding, when everything felt chaotic or outta control his calm, levelheaded-ness made me feel at ease. Everything he needed to get one was done so smoothly and flawlessly. He was so professional and friendly that all of my guests felt that he was family and didn't even realize that he was taking pictures. He was fun and professional, and there isn't one bad thing I could think to say about him. Pictures turned out beautiful and the photobooth was easy and fun!

  The best!

  Wes, Chelsea and their team were amazing photographers and videographers at our wedding in April. They captured our day with such creativity and expertise. Not only were they so easy and fun to work with for us, but so many of our guests commented that they actually enhanced their good time at our wedding!
  
  He did our engagement photos, as well, and they couldn't have been better. Wes brought out the best in us with intimate looks and loving gestures. He made us feel so natural, as if he wasn't even there capturing our day.
  
  We recommend them whole-heartedly and will have another wedding in our family soon and will ask them to capture that one, as well. You won't be sorry if you choose Wes and his team to photograph your wedding or event. He genuinely cares and will do his very best to give you what you want and capture every moment of your special day! ❤️

  Single best investment we made in our wedding!

  Wes and his team were beyond amazing. Five stars is not nearly high enough! On the day of our wedding we received multiple remarks about how Wes and his team helped make the day feel special. The way they handled their craft was truly amazing. We felt less like we had hired photographers, and more like we had a few extra wedding party members. Their presence was actually a calming influence on an otherwise hectic day. While we definitely had deadlines to meet, Wes managed to keep us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. The entire team integrated with our group so seamlessly, and it allowed them to get some really amazing shots. We cannot thank them enough. The day would not have been the same without Wes and his team!

  AMAZING Photographer

  Hired Wes to be our wedding photographer after we saw what an amazing job he did at a close friend’s wedding. Even before we officially hired him he was so helpful and such a kind person. Honestly, we couldn’t imagine having anyone else be our photographer. Wes made us laugh and feel comfortable the whole time he was there. Most of the time we didn’t even realize he was taking pictures of us when he was. Such a fun and caring person to work with! Wes went out of his way to make sure things that didn’t even involve the photographs went smoothly for our wedding. You can’t go wrong with hiring Wes!

  Easiest photographer to work with

  Working with Wes honestly feels like working with a freind. Half the time you don't even know he is there because it always felt so natural from the ceremony to the reception it is all seamless. Highly recommend him for anything you need photography wise.

  Flexible, Fun, and Fantastic!

  Wes went above and beyond what we ever would have expected from a wedding photographer, and we couldn't recommend him more!!!
  
  1) He was SO FLEXIBLE -- hanging with us through two initial date changes and a final decision to hold both a COVID mini-wedding and a postponed reception. Throughout that entire process he responded with nothing but kindness and understanding, helping assuage our big feelings about everything. On top all of that, he was then kind enough to make a custom price package for us to capture both a couple of hours of pictures on our actual wedding as well as his usual full-day package on our postponed reception, and it was the best money we have ever spent.
  
  2) We treasure the memories from our so much, and no one could have captured them better than Wes. He has the perfect blend of responsive to our needs/desires, the know-how to pose everyone when we didn't know what we were doing, and that photographer's eye to capture those beautiful, unexpected, candid moments. And not only did we receive all of our pictures in a super easy-to-navigate and easy-to-share online format, he also put together a beautiful slideshow of some of the top moments set to music.
  
  3) Wes is SO FUN! He's the guy you want to have around on the wedding day, who fits in seamlessly with your wedding party and seems like another one of the crew.
  
  If you're deliberating about picking a photographer, no need to look any farther than Wes from Westley Leon Studios

  Absolutely Incredible

  I am so blown away by this amazing guy! He was so personable from the start. He is so friendly and he truly is like another member of your bridal party. He comes up with the most amazing pictures. We are so impressed by his pictures. We LOVED our engagement sessions. Not only is he great with communication but he even took me aside when I was overwhelmed and made me breathe and relax on the wedding day. He’ll make sure your day is perfect and go above and beyond for his clients. He makes you feel like he is your very best friend. We just got our wedding pictures and video Friday and OH MY GOD. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH AMAZING THINGS ABOUT WES. When you get to do your reveal, he treats you like family. We got hugs, snacks and wine! The video is absolutely perfect, I’ve watched it probably 100 times now. I am so beyond blown away by our pictures. I knew I’d love everything before we got them but he did a million times better than I even expected!! Ugh we love you Wes!! Thank you so much for being so incredible! ❤️ I’m only bummed that he had to leave! Everyone ADORED him and I would give 100 stars if I could.

  Nontraditional Wedding with a Flippant Bride

  A couple of years ago, after the first time my wedding was rescheduled due to COVID, my original photographer had to cancel because she was not available for the new date. A friend of mine, who is a photographer, sent out a request to Chicagoland photographers explaining that her friend needed a photographer for a 1920s themed wedding, but the catch was that it was also a Murder Mystery wedding, so it would be a little non-traditional.
  
  I got several replies from photographers who were interested, but Wes from Westley Leon Studios was so unabashedly eager and excited to be a part of it, that it was really no contest. He met with my wedding planner and me via Zoom to get all the details. I--the worst kind of client--gave instructions like, “I don’t know, just, like, take some candid pictures.” Undeterred in his enthusiasm, Wes gave lots of options and walked me through some of the ideas and insisted that he can live in the moment (*spoiler* this turns out to be true).
  
  We asked what would happen if, in the “unlikely event,” the wedding was rescheduled or cancelled again. He laid out his extremely fair terms which protected both of us and insured that someone would be at the new date even if he, himself, was unavailable. Two reschedules later, and he was true to his word. Luckily, he was still available to be there in person and did not lose an ounce of excitement.
  
  As I had never planned a wedding before, I didn’t realize that “it’ll only take me about a half hour to get ready” was hilariously inaccurate. I know that he was excited to take pictures of us on the grounds because Allerton Park and Retreat Center in Monticello, IL has the greatest gems around the property. It’s like the photographer’s Mecca. Of course, I took way longer to get ready, so Wes moved back and forth between the bride’s and groom’s respective rooms and then moved around the mansion and property to get some absolutely beautiful pictures anyway. He was so patient and kind, and I feel bad that he didn’t get to realize his full vision (if he was upset about it, he never showed it).
  
  The turn around time on the pictures was surprisingly quick, and they are beyond incredible. He’s right; he really does have an eye for catching the best moments on the spot. When I went through the gallery, it was like I was reliving every moment. I also relived other people’s moments because I totally caught my husband in a lie! (This was all in jest, of course, and an inside joke between us.)
  
  Wes went above and beyond to capture each moment and produce such beautiful works of art from them. He’s flexible, easy to work with, and makes you genuinely feel like your day is actually the best day of all time. Pick Westley Leon Studios every single time.

  Best photographer ever

  Wes was a superhero on our wedding day. It’s taken me almost a year to write a review because of how crazy our lives got. Right before our wedding we had a tragic accident in our family that resulted in the death of my cousin the day after our wedding. The day of the wedding was filled with so many emotions and that day Wes was more than a photography. I’m not even sure that he knew of the accident but he went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. He was right there to bring a smile to my face, to be there to lend a hand in any way he could, and provide us with the most beautiful pictures to last a lifetime. I’m not sure Wes knows how important he was for so many reasons on our wedding day. If you are looking for an INCREDIBLE photographer and an even more INCREDIBLE person you need to go with Wes. His skills and his eye for photography are unmatched and he is such a joy to be around! If you are looking for a sign about what photographer to choose this is your sign CHOOSE WES!!! (:

  The Best Decision we made for our wedding!

  Wes was by far my favorite person to work with on our wedding day. He made the entire day amazing and went ABOVE and BEYOND what was expected. He was friendly and fun to hang out with and his photos were absolutely amazing. We had a blast at our engagement session and he really got to know us as a couple. At the wedding he captured beautiful photos of the ceremony. And during the reception he got to know our guests and took amazing pictures of everybody celebrating together and really captured the dynamic of the party. And as far as above and beyond-- When someone spilled a drink on the dance floor, somehow Wes was the FIRST person with a mop to clean up the dance floor and still taking pictures. My guests still mention Wes months later after my wedding as being so amazing.

  Wow, reading your review truly made my day! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Westley Leon Studios.
  I had an absolute blast working with you both, right from the engagement session to the grand finale on your wedding day. Your connection as a couple inspired every shot, and it was my absolute pleasure to immortalize those beautiful moments for you.
  And as for that dance floor incident - well, I couldn't let a little spill interrupt the party now, could I? I'm glad I could help keep the good times rolling and still capture the essence of the celebration.
  Your kind words mean the world to me and the team. We're thrilled to know we were able to make your wedding day as memorable as you'd hoped, and it's a day I'll remember fondly as well.
  Here's to the love you both share and the beautiful journey ahead. May your wedding photos always bring you back to those magical moments. And remember, we're always here for any of your future photography needs!

  Wes did absolutely stunning work for our engagement and wedding pictures! I couldn’t have asked for anything else. He was so responsive and eager to know what our vision was and did exactly everything we wanted! I couldn’t have picked a better photographer, his work is amazing!

  Wes! Wes! Wes!

  My husband and I found Wes at a local bridal show in South Bend. Immediately, I fell in love with his style and knew I wanted him to be our wedding photographer. He has been an amazing person to work with. He honestly feels like someone you would want to have your your wedding anyway because he is funny, energetic, and has lots of great advice to offer from his experience in the wedding industry. From our engagement photos to our Las Vegas wedding day, I have adored all of the work he has done for us. Worth every penny! If you’re going to spend the money on a professional photographer, Wes is a phenomenal choice. He went above and beyond to do his job on our wedding day. When I was experiencing some wedding day jitters, he personally took the time to help me calm down and breathe before the ceremony. And he will make you look DAYUM good! Wes is very thoughtful and passionate about his work 10/10!!!

If you’re going to spend the money on a professional photographer, Wes is a phenomenal choice. He went above and beyond to do his job on our wedding day. When I was experiencing some wedding day jitters, he personally took the time to help me calm down and breathe before the ceremony. And he will make you look DAYUM good! Wes is very thoughtful and passionate about his work 10/10!!!
