I can't say enough good things about Wiley. He made our wedding flow so smoothly. He was patient, thoughtful, and so considerate of everyone's time and effort. His expertise and confidence in managing the day-of logistics helped our day be stress-free and fun. We felt lucky to have Wiley on our special day as a photographer and friend. We would recommend Wiley to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding day!! -

Marta G. Sent on 09/08/2020Wiley is an exceptional wedding photographer!
Wiley is a phenomenal photographer! My husband and I knew when we first got engaged that after our wedding day we would walk away with each other, our marriage, our memories, and the moments captured from our day. So we went on the hunt for a photographer within the Seattle area who's style we liked. Luckily, Wiley was on the list of Top Seattle Photographers. We absolutely loved his work and reached out for a quote about a year out from our set wedding date. We felt so lucky to have him even at that point.
After reserving your date, you can choose different tiers or packages for his photography services. One thing I thought was very professional is that he includes engagement packages for wedding reservations. Wiley emphasizes the importance of feeling like ourselves and showing our true selves in front of the camera, especially on one of the biggest days of our lives. So, he met with us even before our engagement shoot to get to know us, our style, set expectations, and make sure we felt comfortable. Our photos turned out to be so amazing! We knew he would exceed our wishes, come our wedding.
Fast forward 6 months, in the midst of the pandemic, Wiley stuck with us and was flexible to changes that had to be made. We had to accommodate a much more intimate wedding than we had originally planned, but it turned out to be perfect in our eyes! He was there from the very beginning of the day until dark as close family and friends were leaving.
Wiley was one of the only vendors that was actually with us through all of the changes. His bottom line was to keep us happy, be there for us, and capture every moment of the best day of our lives.
You can tell Wiley loves what he does. He shows up with a smile on his face, a positive and can-do attitude, and does his magic!
Thank you, Wiley, for making our day so special! We are in love with our photos! -

Sergey Sent on 07/27/2019Wonderful Wedding with Wiley
What can you say about Wiley? The list of compliments is truly endless. We met with Wiley first when we were hunting for wedding photographers, and after our initial meeting, decided not to meet with any others. Wiley is an amazingly awesome guy and does a great job working with you to make you feel comfortable and match your personalities to the photo shoots.
We did both our engagement session at Discovery Park in Seattle and our wedding in Leavenworth with Wiley. Throughout it all, Wiley was on-point, capturing fantastic photos that come out looking natural and not over-photo-shopped with a ‘glossy’ feel. He brought an amazing assistant to our wedding as well, and she was lovely to work with.
Wiley was loved by friends and family alike while working, and came to hang with us as a friend for the after-party. We also received TONS of positive comments from friends and family who interacted with Wiley at the wedding.
We can’t say enough nice things about Wiley as a guy and don’t want to understate how good his photography and photos come out, they are truly wonderful. Wiley, we’re happy to have met you and become friends during this process, thanks for capturing all the beautiful moments of our day! -
User2138839 Sent on 05/19/2015My fiancé and I had some very specific requirements for our engagement photos, ones that took us to many different locations around Tacoma, and we were worried that we might not be able to describe some of our ideas in enough detail to our photographer. However, Wiley was completely understanding and very willing to work with us to achieve the precise pictures we were hoping for. We went to 8 locations over all and we shot for just under 4 hours and he was energetic and engaged in his work the entire time. He was incredibly expedient in developing and processing the photographs, taking only 1 week, and we could not be happier with the final products we've received. Our new photo album is far better than we could have ever hoped and we are excited to share these photographs with friends and family for years to come. Thank you Wiley for helping us create lifelong memories. -
User2130237 Sent on 05/13/2015Wiley has such a mature artistic eye.
His work is classic.
In other words, his style is not based in a fad that will pass away.
Each photograph has such a timeless human element
that will forever draw people to look.
You only need to look at his photos to get a sense of this for yourself.
Wiley took portrait photographs of me (for use in my professional portfolio, promoting me as a performer) and gave simple, easy directions about stance, facial expressions, clothing, etc. to achieve a look that has since received commendation by many.
He made me feel good during the shoot and made me look great in the photos.
Exactly what I wanted from the time with a photographer and exactly what I wanted from a product.
I think it's common to worry about hiring someone of any profession, photographers included. There's usually uncertainty about the experience or the outcome.
I recommend Wiley because, in my experience with him, you should not worry about either. -
Megan Sent on 08/31/2018Wiley is the photographer you want for your wedding! He is fun, makes you feel comfortable, and is excited to capture your big day. We got married in the mountains and Wiley was so so excited to hike with us which made our day even more special - it's not often someone you met once or twice feels like a good friend. AND we got our sneak peak within a few days. Easily the best photographer we could have dreamed of!

Cedric Sent on 11/11/2018Friendly Fantastic Photographer
Wiley was really a fantastic photographer. He spent a lot of time getting to know us before the wedding - just getting to know our wants and priorities, talking us through photoshoot ideas and giving lots of advice - so by the time our wedding came around he seemed more like just our (talented and professional) friend.
At the wedding he was working non-stop, always seemed to be in the right place for a picture but never in the way. He directed everyone for pictures really gracefully and had a great eye for where to shoot. Right after our reception we went to the foothills and had a blast doing a photoshoot with him!
His photos have a consistent style without being too trendy, and he is flexible about making any black/white when appropriate or upon request. It took a while to get our pictures (he is a busy man and takes a LOT of photos) but we didn't rush him and it wasn't a big deal. And, maybe most importantly(?), we found it really easy to see, download, print, etc. our photos.
I highly recommend Wiley if you're looking for someone who is super skilled, professional and personable.
