  There is no one better for the job

  Seriously, if you hire anyone other than Will, you are going to regret it! I went to the Portland bridal show, not really looking for a photographer at the time, but he stood out to me and by the end of our conversation I was sold. Will was so easy to work with and was very quick about answering my million random questions that come with planning a pandemic wedding. On the day of, Will and Allen made the day that much more fun! They helped make the day go so smooth and even stepped up and did things that needed to be done when they didn't have to. Allen helped bustle my dress when my bridesmaid was struggling to do so. They made sure I was drinking water, because on your wedding day, that is the last thing you think of. Even a month later, I still have people telling me how amazing our photographer was and how they both made the day even more memorable. I am pretty sure I got more complements on Will than I did anything else about the wedding! I can not recommend them enough. I was 100% stress free on our wedding day because I knew he would get the job done correctly and make it even better than I imagined. They both certainly exceeded my expectations.

  I can't say enough great things about Will and his son who worked together on our wedding. From the first day we met him we knew Will was going to be great to work with. He has crazy-fun energy and a great eye for angles, colors, etc. We first sat down with him over drinks to discuss our wedding details and left feeling like we wished he was our friend in real life. Great guy. Showed up on time to the wedding, jumped in with little to no guidance from anyone, took amazing photos of not only us and the bridal party but of our guests as well. We were so busy throughout our wedding day, it was great seeing photos of people smiling and having fun (some who we barely saw during the event). Also took amazing detail photos of all the little decorations I had poured a years worth of effort in to that were around the room.
  
  Fun working relationship that resulted in amazing photographs. We couldn't be happier.

  Absolutely amazing!!! That is all I can say about Will. He was so easy to work with and got some of the most stunning pictures I have ever seen. He has a great eye for amazing shots. He worked with us to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted (family formals and the such) as well as working with different setting and backgrounds. He even was willing to go down the middle of the road to get an old railroad trellace in the background. We also had our dog and he got some really sweet pictures with her. At one point during the reception I even forgot he was there so the pictures will look very natural. He gave us an accurate timeline for getting pictures back. I cannot say enough good things about him. If you think he is too expensive, think again and really compare prices and what you want (especially if you are like us and don't need a lot of fluff or extra things like wedding books or engagement shoots). For the quality of pictures we got, there was no better value. Finally, some advice: make sure you mesh with your photographer and have a connection. Will and I just clicked immediately and that increased my trust that he would get the best shots.

  Talk about getting your money's worth! Will is so down to earth and professional. What more can you want out of a vendor who will have an interaction with everyone of your guests. He makes sure that you get all the shots you want through out the night and suprises you with his creativity and ability to really capture the moments that you often miss by being so caught up in the big day. Him and his wonderful assistant/son make it all go smoothly without the pressure of a perfect timeline because he understands that not everything always goes as planned. Overall my family and friends were amazed at the quality of our wedding pictures and a bit jelous I must add. We will always treasure those beautiful images he captured through his art.

  Will is the best wedding photographer a bride could ask for!! During the whole process before, he is so helpful with explaining all of the amazing options he offers, and which one will work best for your venue! On top of that, his prices are seriously unbeatable! The day of the wedding, no one worked harder than him and his son who assists him! Anything from finding the perfect spot to do sunset pictures, to him holding all of the water bottles I wanted throughout the night, he was a God send.
  
  Will kept the night moving capturing every moment, always took control of where people needed to be during formal photos (which i asked him to do!). He brought ladders for the ceremony for some beautiful aerial shots. Additionally, he had a very quick turn around of 3 weeks given the amount of photos taken and the final product he showed me of 750+ photos. He also gave us a sneak peak a less than a week after the ceremony of about 50 photos which kept us wanting more!
  
  Over all, Will was so easy to work with, very humble, kind and worked very hard to keep us happy during the entire process from choosing him to ordering our photo album. I would recommend him to anyone who needed a great, hard working, friendly photographer who is affordable and worth every penny!

  If there was a to put 7 out of 5 stars for Will, we would do that! Seriously, he is the most amazing photographer.
  
  From our first meeting, looking through his portfolio, we knew his work is just amazing! His outgoing personality, enthusiasm, and professionalism won us over and we knew he was the photographer for us!
  
  At our engagement shoot this spring, we had a total BLAST and he captured some stunning pictures of us. We were even more excited for him to shoot our wedding after the engagement shoot!
  
  At the wedding, he was a total rockstar. Our guests commented "he was everywhere!" and he certainly was. He has an incredible eye, an amazing way of putting people at ease, and his demeanor is relaxed and puts people at ease. His work is also very creative and filled with personality.
  
  We look forward to doing anniversary shoots with this guy in the future!

  If you want amazing, vivid, fun, photos with incredible attention to detail...this is the place. Our photos from Will are spectacular and from the moment we met with him we knew he was the guy we wanted capturing our special day. He went out of his way to get to know us as a couple with multiple meetings in super relaxing environments (vendor meetings over cocktails, anyone?) and took the time to get to know our entire wedding party by name. Our family and friends were so impressed at his pure athleticism while working to get every shot. He was on the floor, he was on ladders, he was practically hanging from chandeliers (slight exaggeration, but nonetheless) and it all paid off. We have the most amazing photos and we love that one of the most beautiful days of our lives was captured and immortalized by such a talented photographer!

  Will and his assistant did such an amazing job. He helped map out a timeline for the day which made the day as smooth as possible. Will is very flexible and very attentive. The husband and I didn't even realize he was there during the reception and dancing. His table run suggestion is a wonderful idea. You get personal pictures with your guests. If you or anyone you know is looking for a photographer, he is the one!

  Hands down the most fun, energetic, creative photographer out there. We looked for a photographer for over 2 years before we stumbled across Will at a wedding show. He is amazing. We had him take our engagement photos and we had this idea of using an old movie theatre downtown and he made it happen. The pictures are amazing. His assistant Allan is also hilarious and so helpful. We had such a great time with these two on our wedding day. If you are looking for someone to capture your personality he's your guy! I cannot wait to see all the pictures that were taken at our wedding. All of my family and friends and even vendors enjoyed him throughout the day. My Hair and Makeup lady made several comments about liking his style and personality. He never stops going and thinks completely about you throughout everything. We felt like we had known him for years and hope to continue seeing him even after all the photos are finished!

  William was referred to us from two previous brides that used him. He is truly talented. Not only does he take fantastic photos but he also provides the best customer service. He went above and beyond our expectations and what was outlined in our contract. We met with him on several occasions and he really helped put my mind at ease. What I also really liked was I had a lot of questions and he would always respond to me so quickly.
  Not only does he provide the best customer service he makes you feel so comfortable and confident. On our wedding day I felt like the most beautiful bride!! I would recommend him to all future brides. We will definitely use William in the future for any special photos.

  From our first meeting I knew that Will was the perfect fit for our wedding!!! He is AMAZING. I truly appreciate the speedy responses, and communication. He does not miss a beat. We had a blast at our engagement shoot, and it felt right having him around us on our wedding day. He knew when we needed a break, and where to be at the right time. Our families were 100% impressed with his work!!! He worked so hard and the proof is in our PERFECT photos, they are everything we could have asked for and more.

  We had a destination wedding and a reception at home. Will was great about working with us to be where we needed him and when. Not only did he do a phenominal job as a photographer, he was great support and entertainment during those times when you feel you just might snap. :) Weddings are stressful enough, your vendors shouldn't add to that. And he did an amazing job destracting from it. We will definately be keeping him on speed dial for future family pictures and events!

  Will and his son Allin covered our photography for the day. They did such a fabulous job capturing all of our cherished moments during our wedding that we will be able to look back on for years to come. Not only were the photos AMAZING, they interacted so well with guests at our wedding and we had so much fun with them. My husband and I knew that photography was something that was very important to us so we were willing to spend a little bit more in that department and it was extremely worth it! 10 thumbs up for Will and Allin!

Not only were the photos AMAZING, they interacted so well with guests at our wedding and we had so much fun with them. My husband and I knew that photography was something that was very important to us so we were willing to spend a little bit more in that department and it was extremely worth it! 10 thumbs up for Will and Allin!
