    Can't recommend enough

    I want to give them even more stars on everything! Westley Leon Studios was a dream to work with. They were professional, compassionate, and flexible when we needed a last-minute rushed date change due to unforeseen personal reasons. They really are top of the game, add in special touches throughout the process, and their pictures and the way they are edited are so unique and special. We had the pleasure of having their associate photographer Rick shoot us on our wedding day, and he was incredible (and incredibly patient with our dog)! I would absolutely recommend this group for anyone who wants kickass pictures shot by good people.

    Highly recommend these wonderful people! :)

    When I say they are the BEST wedding photographers/videographers- I do not say that lightly. Chelsea and Wes are AMAZING and have an amazing team. We are so happy with how everything turned out. They are also just extremely pleasant human beings to work with :)

    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!

    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.

    Wedding Photographer 6/4/22

    A long overdue review - Wes (& Chelsea) was hands down our favorite vendor to work with for our wedding. From our engagement pictures, to timeline planning and the wedding day, he was helpful every step of the way. It was so much fun having him part of our day and our pictures and video turned our AMAZING!! Our guests also loved him and so many complimented how fun he was. Everyone needs a Wes for their wedding!

    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!

    An amazing photographer and then some!

    I seriously cannot recommend Wes enough. Our photos and highlight film turned out AMAZING, because Wes is absolutely incredible at what he does. He's more than just a photographer though; he feels like an ally and a friend, and almost a part of the wedding party. He managed to bring the crowd together and get everyone pumped, managed to be in all places at all times without being intrusive, and brought an incredible energy to the entire event. He has an intuition for capturing important details and moments, and was such an amazing photographer that we had numerous guests tell us--unprompted--how incredible he was. Seriously cannot recommend him enough!!!

    Book this experience!

    Wes is the whole package. There really is no other way to put it, when you book with Wes, you are not only investing in photos but an amazing photographer that provides an unforgettable experience. It’s really hard to even put it in words, it’s almost like I booked with a friend. Wes makes people so comfortable in front of the camera during both my engagement session and my wedding, he duals as a kickass photographer, hype man, dance partner, timeline coordinator, even a go to person on the wedding day and down right badass. If you are looking for a photographer that shows up, snaps some pictures and hands you a USB when they are done - Wes is not your guy.

    If you are looking for someone who invests in you, like literally - sends you a surprise package in the mail during a pandemic just to brighten your day, captures your laugh in a picture, keeps you sane, pumped, and super excited on the day of your wedding, and genuinely cares about you.... THIS. IS. YOUR. GUY. He is worth every penny and more. He does excellent work. I’m so glad I booked him for my wedding and I know that won’t be my last session with Wes!

    P.S. I even booked a mini boudoir session right before I slipped into my wedding dress and I'm SO glad I did! Note to all brides, this is not awkward what so ever. You should do this for your husband!

    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!!!

    Love love love

    I don't know how to recommend Wes highly enough! We first met Wes for a complementary engagement session, and I knew almost immediately he was perfect for us. He made my then-fiance so comfortable behind the camera (which was REALLY important!) and the photos were beautiful from the start. At the time, I could never have anticipated how much I would rely on Wes to help me with timeline planning and day-of logistics--he was more than a photographer on our wedding day, he was my confidante, my IT/tech savior, and a hilarious addition to our dance floor! Wes even set up a preview slideshow of photos at our reception for guests to view--this guy is truly the definition of going above and beyond! Trust me--you want Wes' creativity on your side for your wedding!

    Hear Me Out on this Review

    From the day we reached out to Wes, we knew he was our guy for the special day. From him traveling to Chicago for our engagement photos, adaptation to Covid changes in dates and venues, to the ultimate experience at the wedding, Wes completely brought a 5 star rating.

    He went above and beyond! Start to finish. Absolutely awesome guy!

    Incredible Highly Recommend!

    Westley Leon Studios has been one of the best investments of our entire wedding day! Wes shout out to you! You are an incredible photographer!!! We had a member of our wedding say they had never been to an event where the photographer actually enhanced the event and experience! Thank you 100000000% for the wonderful service and we cannot wait to use you again in the future for other photography needs.

    Amazing experience with wes!

    Wow- I cant say enough great things about Wes. From the very beginning we felt in such great hands. Wes is professional, fun, incredibly personable, and really listened to our needs and preferences. He even got the sweetest pics of our elderly dog, which was really important to me. We had an absolute blast shooting with him! And his photos...just incredible! I could not recommend Wes Leon Studios enough.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!!
