    Creative and professional!

    William is amazing. We hired him as a recommended vendor from our venue and are so glad we did! He not only has a great eye for photography, but also the people skills needed to rein our partially rowdy wedding party in long enough to all make it into a picture at the same time. 🙃 William helped position all of us and gave great tips for being photographed so that the end results appeared more natural rather than stiff or forced. He was able to capture all of the important moments, and we were very impressed with how quickly we received our photos.

    Incredible Photographer!

    William was the ABSOLUTE BEST! We interviewed many photographers and he was the only one that was professional from the first interaction all the way through delivery of our photos. He was a joy to work with and we are IN LOVE with our photos. It was a pleasure to work with him and we HIGHLY recommend him.

    William is fantastic at what he does, plain and simple. It feels like a friend by the time we meet until our wedding day. His price is reasonable compared to other photographer! He even flew with us in Venice, Italy for our engagement photoshoot with no additional cost! It was a truly a wonderful and memorable in Venice one could ever wish for! William and his team made our dream wedding come true!

    There are many reasons why William and his team were so remarkable. Here are just a few:

    William was professional yet friendly and warm. He was prepared with state of the art technology. Every way he communicated with us before the wedding was streamlined and stylish. William went out of his way to make a connection with us as clients before the wedding so that on the day of we were comfortable and excited to work with him. William and his team worked long and hard to get every shot we asked for. They were organized and timely and worked smoothly with all other vendors. The photographs were delivered ahead of schedule and were even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

    The photos we ended up with are the perfect way for us to remember every beautiful moment of our day. He included all the beautiful traditional photos as well as some unique images. I can see the care and thought that goes into each composition and edit of each beautiful photograph making it into a work of art. William operates an A+ business and is a true artist. His love for what he does really comes through in his work.

    They say the photography is not where you want to skimp on your wedding budget and William is worth every penny. I would recommend William to my nearest and dearest.

    There is so much to say about how spectacular of an experience we had with William Innes!!

    From the very first conversation we could tell that William had the perfect balance of taking our hopes and wants while giving us the right direction when faced with uncertainty on how we wanted to go about the photography for our most special day.

    In an effort to truly get to know us before the big day, William took us on an amazing engagement photoshoot through wine country. William's whole attitude and demeanor was so pleasant it just felt like an awesome day out having fun. The photos were breathtaking! He has a profound passion for what he does that shows in his effortless process. After spending a day with William we were simply excited that he would be a part of our big day!

    On the wedding day William and his whole team were very prompt, prepared, professional and created a stress free and relaxed environment for our entire bridal party.
    William orchestrated the most incredible setting and process for the first look and the way he and his whole team handled it was like we were the absolute only people there! That moment was so very special because of how William set it up and handled everything including the videographers running all around.

    We had all of our photos taken before the ceremony and William was so efficient yet we never felt rushed. He handled the rest of the team and videographers so well while dealing with our whole wedding party! He is a great leader! He also worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator. They should always come as a package deal!

    The entire day was amazing thanks to William and his team and the results are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

    For any couple, any venue and any season we would implore anyone to allow William to bless their special day as he did so unforgettably well for us!!

    Thank you for capturing our special day!

    William is absolutely amazing!!!! We had met with a few photographers but no one is quite like him. He not only put me at ease on my day but my husband as well! Besides that his work is breath taking!!!! Simply remarkable! He is work every penny!!! Those pictures will last a life time. He and his staff are top notch as I would not have gone with anyone else for our photos. He is so much fun, so professional, and knew exactly what we wanted as a couple. We got married June 25th, 2011 and are now expecting our first child we hope maybe that William can do some of those photos too!!!! Thanks William for making our day so amazing!!!
    Love Amy and Shaun Kibble!!!

    William captured our day perfectly. Along with all the fantastic advice leading upto the big day, William was very patient and flexible with our requests. Williiam is not the kind of photographer that carries around a list of pics that he "needs" to capture on the day, he goes with his creative gut instead. His bridal portriats are perfection and the edge in all his shots are intriguing. His turn around time of the proofs was first class...less than 2 weeks from the wedding day. And the best surprise thus far was the slide show he created for us. I have watched it everyday since he published it. He is not the cheapest, however I truly believe you "get what you pay for." If you are looking for creative pics, a fun and easy going personality and a stress free day...William should be your choice.

    Photographer of your dreams!

    When it comes to planning your wedding you are overcome with choices to make and are overwhelmed with all the advice from family and friends. All I can say is my Husband and I are so thankful we listened to our coordinator’s advice about hiring William and his very talented team. William was such a pleasure to work with! He was very professional and when discussing the wedding date and venue he mentioned he had never seen our venue before but heard amazing things and wanted to check it out before hand so he offered to do and engagement session so he can check out what the venue had to offer. The engagement photos came back promptly and turned out better than anticipated. When it came to the day of the wedding William and his team were on time and was dressed to impress and they all were an absolute pleasure to work with. They made us feel very comfortable, You can tell that William and his team takes pride in what
    they do. They go the extra mile to get that perfect shot in. We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos. When receiving the photos back, William puts them in a very professional box with a beautiful glass hard drive. He also picks out some of his favorites and prints them for you so you have some photos on hand right away. Our only dilemma is choosing all the photos for the wedding album he offers. There are to many good ones to choose from. Thank you again William and team for capturing all the love on our special day

    Could not be happier about having William as our photographer at our wedding! From the initial contact to the final wrap up correspondence post wedding, William was prompt and professional. He was extremely accommodating with scheduling the engagement shoot since we were planning from the East Coast and flying to CA sparingly for wedding planning. He was fun to work with and instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, he had the perfect commanding presence to allow us to get all the shots we wanted and to keep things moving. His work is definitely high quality. We are absolutely thrilled with the final wedding pictures and we have gotten so many compliments from family and friends! Do not hesitate to book.

    William shot our wedding in Utah and was great to work with. He flew out for no extra charge and brought a second shooter, Eric, with him. We really put them to the test as we actually had a DOUBLE WEDDING and they had to do twice the work. They handled two couples and bridal parties like the professionals they are. We got great shots of getting ready, the wedding, venue and our doggy ring bearer. William got all of our shots back to us incredibly fast. These photos will be cherished for a lifetime and we are so pleased to have worked with William!

    We are absolutely IN LOVE with our wedding photos!!! We received them so quickly after the wedding and each photo is more stunning than the next. William is an absolute professional and a true artist. I was extremely picky when choosing a photographer because I had a very specific vision of how I wanted our wedding to look and feel. I immediately fell in love with William's work and knew it was the perfect fit. He was a pleasure to work with and was super accommodating for all of our requests. He was a hit with our large wedding party and even larger family. If I could rate William 10 stars I would, cannot praise him enough!

    From talking on the phone all the way to receiving our printed photos (in beautiful packaging), William was a total joy! He's so fun and relaxed, while also knowing exactly what he's doing, that we now have hundreds of favorites! He knew the right spots, the right "poses", and we just had to relax and hang out while he captured everything perfectly.

    My husband and I loved working with William. He was by far one of our favorite vendors at our wedding. We planned our wedding in 6 months and he was able to squeeze in an engagement session for us in his busy schedule. Though in our contract we had agreed for a set number of hours, William offered to give us an additional hour for transportation from our getting ready site to the venue and also stayed later than he had to. His photographs are amazing, he always delivers his photos on time and every time we received a package in the mail from him we were impressed with the packaging. He is worth every penny! We will continue to keep recommending him to our family and friends.

    Danny and I could not be happier using William Innes Photography! First of all, William's work is INCREDIBLE. From our engagement photos to just receiving our wedding photos, everything turned out beautifully!! After meeting with a few photographers, we instantly knew William was our man from his bubbly personality, and professionalism. Not only was he understanding of our wants/needs, but he went above and beyond!! In addition, it took a lot of stress off our backs realizing how organized he was. The follow up emails, calls, & texts truly helped us both! :) Thank you again William!! You are the best!!!

    There are so many wonderful things to say about William Innes. His work is amazing and when you meet him you can tell how passionate he is about his work. Very professional, caring, goes above and beyond for his clients. He absolutely made our wedding day! We are so lucky we had the best photographer in the business to give us beautiful memories to look back on.

    William is the BEST! He got all the shots I wanted and helped us with all our needs and what we wanted to have.
    He is outgoing and we loved how open and honest he was with us about certain shots. We got 2 engagement shoots we wanted and wedding photos and extras that we wanted. He gave us 210% all the time! And he was very prompt with responses and questions we had! He does great work and couldn't be happier with how our how wedding process and planning turned out. After picking William as our photographer, I had no more worries and stress. Pictures were taken care of and I was at ease knowing I got what I wanted.

    Heather and I couldn't have been happier with William. From the day we did a trail run we new he was the one for our special day. William always gave us great ideas and Heather and I charmed in as well too telling him our thoughts and ideas. He and us bonded super well. He takes your ideas, listens to what you have to say, doesn't take them for granted and runs with it! Makes it so above and beyond what you were visioning into something glorious. William will make your dream wedding journey feel just as special as the real day. We couldn't be more thankful for him. The pictures are so extraordinary and beautiful. He definitely captures the moment at hand and makes it seem effortless. Every single shot taken, he captured every moment beautifully! You shouldn't wait around! Book this guy as soon as possible if you want a great journey of smiles, laughter, and beautiful memories.
    Just ask yourself 1 question...Will.i.am(William Innes) be picking one of the best photographers for my biggest day ever? Answer is, YES!! You won't regret it either! :)

    First of all, I would hands down, without a doubt recommend William Innes to photograph your wedding. He truly went above and beyond with everything, from the planning stages to receiving our photos. From the moment we met William, we felt comfortable. Photos were definitely one of the most important things to us, but also the most nerve-wracking. William completely let us relax, and produced photos of our dreams.

    on the morning of the wedding, we were having some issues contacting our coordinator and the stress was high. William called, and could tell I was freaking out. He told me to just breathe and he would see me soon. As soon as he walked in, we were ALL relieved. From that moment on, the stress and anxiety was gone. I am so thankful for him, he truly kept us at ease the entire day.

    Aside from his professionalism and keeping us cool, the photos were the stuff of dreams. I never thought my husband and I would have photos of this caliber- William is truly a magician! Our prints arrived and wow, we were blown away! He and his team are worth their weight in gold, and then some!

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring William to be our photographer. William and his assistant, Debra, were very professional, organized and kept us on schedule. William is genuine and has a wonderful sense of humor. He made us feel incredibly comfortable which is key since he shot such intimate photos with our first look. My husband and I couldn't possibly be happier with our beautiful wedding photos. The first time I saw them I had a hard time keeping it together.

    I'm not surprised to read some of the wonderful things others had to say about him in his other reviews. He deserves all the hype, trust me. We will be hiring him again in the future.

    William and his team were responsive, thoughtful and creative. A wedding day can be hectic but everything went so smoothly and William kept our pace going from the time he arrived to do the bridal only pictures, to the first look to the wedding and after. William is a true professional and I would highly recommend him.

    My wife and I had something pretty specific in mind when we were looking for our wedding photographer, and when we first saw William Innes' photos, we knew we had found it. Unlike so many point and shoot wedding photographers, William is a true artist whose photos captured the personalities and emotion of our big day. He's also a true professional and was unflustered throughout; even when our other vendors messed up our schedule, he made sure we didn't miss out on any of the photos he knew we wanted. He even had our beautiful photos ready before we got back from our honeymoon!

    Thanks William, great job!

    If I could give William more stars I would! He did SO much for our wedding beyond producing beautiful images on our special day.

    He has been humorous, flexible, patient, and efficient since Day 1 when my mother and I met him to see if he would be a good fit for our September wedding in Pacific Palisades. He impressed us so much (and my mom is quite difficult to impress) with his cultural knowledge, easygoing personality, and stunning photo portfolio! Needless to say, we booked him with high hopes for WIP and his team!

    I remember feeling extremely nervous for my engagement shoot due to camera shyness, but William helped my fiance and I feel right at ease, and it turned out to be a fun-filled day taking photos in both nature and city settings. Our images were absolutely amazing, and this made me even more excited for our wedding day!

    Weddings are pure chaos (unbeknownst to me prior to the big day!) and I had no idea that our timeline would be extremely difficult to follow due to so many players and moving parts. William held down the fort, keeping everyone focused on our timeline and making sure things ran smoothly. This was definitely NOT within his job description, but he is the type of person who is a born leader and takes charge to make sure the bride and groom's day is nothing less than phenomenal. Our entire bridal party loved his humor, and I really appreciated his every effort to make sure we got all of our photos on the "Must Have Wedding Shots" list.

    I can't wait to see our photos in a few short weeks--I know they will be killer! I can't say enough thanks to William and his admirable team :)
