Wally was great, super nice team that made us feel comfortable in both our engagement and wedding pics. We both highly recommend!
Starting with engagement pics, Wally was open to all the crazy shots I wanted to get and helped us deliver them so they turned out well. He drove up to meet us in OC from SD, which was very nice. He captured our style and edited nicely. He was fun to work with and very sweet and professional.
For our wedding, Wally was on our side! He was helping us stay on schedule all while capturing great shots. We love our photos from both and feel we lucked out.

Wally was our wedding photograpger. We liked him right away on our first call because he sounded like a lot of fun and it didnturn out that he is super easy and nice to work with. We met him in person a month before our wedding to have some engagement photoshoot, which was a lovely time. We asked him for some location advice for the photoshoot. Since our wedding is going to be by the beach, we decided to go to the Laguna Mountain area for the engagement shoot. We decided to meet in the parking lot and he would drive us up the mountain to a few spots that he was very familiar with. We were late due to the traffic but he was very patient with us and still managed to capture the perfect sunset. On the wedding day, Wally and Edward worked very well with our videographers and captured our day perfectly. I personally prefer candid photos than posed ones but we got tons of great photos of both categories. Our fast swing dance moves were captured well too. All our guests love the photos too!We cannot say enough good things about Wally and his service. Highly recommend him! More...

Wally was incredible! Photography was one of the most important aspects of the wedding day to me in the planning process, and Wally killed it! Not only was he incredibly personable and so easy to get along with, his photography skills were impeccable. I fell in love with pretty much every single picture he took throughout the entire night. He made everyone feel comfortable and had a great sense of calmness and humor about him that made the day seamless. He gave instruction, while making people feel loose and comfortable which was amazing. He was non stop working the entire wedding, running around trying to get the best shot and they all showed in his final products and I cannot thank him enough for capturing all of our wonderful moments throughout the entire night. If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further. Wally was perfect and I highly recommend using him on your special day!! More...

My wife and I first met Wally through our wedding planner Amy from First Comes Love. Aside from his incredible work that he showed us we knew he was a great fit for us based on personality. Our first experience with Wally was during our engagement shoot. My wife and I are are by no means professional instagram models so it was nice having a photographer who would explain different poses and where to look etc. We had several different  events planned around the wedding spanning 3 days. Wally's colleague Edward was our photographer for a rehearsal sail, welcome dinner, and secondary photographer for the wedding. Edward was able to capture so many great moments it was as if he was always in 3 places at once. By the time Saturday came around we had gotten to know Edward very well and can't say enough about his work and his character.During the wedding day Wally was primarily in charge of the women and Edward dealt with us guys as we got ready. It seems as though any photographer can capture the main events but these guys captured every detail of our big day, big or small. Thank you SO much Wally and Edward for capturing these moments that we will never forget. We HIGHLY recommend Walter Wilson Studios, Inc for your wedding! More...

Walter is the most fun to work with! I wish we could have hung out with him and his crew all day. He is a blast. We were dealing with some rainy weather for our outdoor wedding and he helped to keep our nerves under control and took pictures we will treasure for a life time. Walter was extremely responsive and personal during our planning process and even stayed a few min. later to take a gorgeous picture once the skies cleared. We are so grateful we choose him and his team. Thank you Walter for making our special day so wonderful. More...

Wally did our wedding recently and he did a phenomenal job. Him and his partner were able to capture unforgettable moments during my wedding and sent me a gorgeous star photo that we took the night of our wedding a day after the wedding. He gave direction when we needed it and suggested some remarkable places to shoot at the venue. He recommended doing the star photo because we were out in a remote location that didn't have a lot of city light interference and it came out beautifully. He made us feel extremely comfortable and his photos came out better than I ever could have imagined. He is an extremely talented photographer and I cannot recommend him enough! More...

I met Walter at a wedding of our friends two years ago that I did flowers for. At that point, I have never personally met him, however followed his social media accounts. His instagram video clips are heartwarming, and funny, they make me laugh! So I am very excited to type this! There are so many beautiful things about Walter you guys need to know!Walter is a very talented photographer. Photos posted on his social media are breathtaking, butterfly gazing, tells a story, that I need this photographer in my life to take my photos!!! Not only is Walter an amazing photographer, he has a genuine personality, what I love most about Walter, is, he talked to my fiance and really included him in the conversations, asked him about what he does in his career, hobbies, took a moment to get to know him.We definitely enjoyed our time with Walter over our engagement shoot, the day of the wedding, and during our meetings. We felt comfortable, and at ease with Walter, he provided us with suggestions for our day of timeline, locations and poses during our wedding day. He worked hand in hand with all of our team of vendors.Thank you Walter! More...

There are no words to describe the incredible quality of Walter’s work. He went above and beyond for our day and the emotion and joy shines through in every single one of our photos. We live in Tacoma Washington and had a destination wedding in San Diego. That got tricky with logistics and Wally was so helpful and accommodating. He won’t miss a second of your special day- he captures it all. Everyone who looks at our photos says that they radiate happiness. Wally was also one of the only vendors who didn’t hound us to write a review immediately after our wedding day. I was getting emails/texts daily on our honeymoon to write reviews for other vendors and it was SO refreshing to NOT have this from Wally. Don’t think twice- choose him for your photographer!!!

Walter is an all star!! I first met Walter several years ago while I was working for my best friend’s mom’s wedding business, and had the opportunity to see him first-hand in action at several weddings. I instantly knew then that I wanted him for my future wedding someday. Flash forward, My wife and I just had our wedding in May and he performed just as expected! Walter does such a great job at commanding large groups of family and friends when it comes time for photos, and can get everyone’s attention quickly. He is genuine, fun, personable, easy to work with, and brings such a positive energy to any event. Having him as our photographer made us feel so comfortable and confident that we didn’t have anything to worry about the day of our wedding. We were also extremely pleased with our engagement photos we did last fall in Julian, CA. He took time out of his very busy schedule to spend hours with us driving from site to site to make sure we captured every shot that we wanted and get the perfect lighting. The photos turned out incredible and far exceeded our vision! To further give you an idea of how genuine of a guy Walter is, not only was he our photographer, he has also become a good friend of ours and is someone we want to hangout with outside of the business relationship. Keep up the great work Walter!!!Tony & Lindsay More...

Wally was just the absolute best wedding photographer my husband and I could have ever chosen. We are so grateful that he was recommended to us by our wedding planner. My husband and I are more on the shyer side and aren't always the most comfortable being photographed. Wally made us both feel comfortable and at ease during both our engagement photo session and for all the wedding pictures. They all turned out great and exactly what we were hoping for. Our wedding parties, families and guests all really liked Wally and his associate as well. He was definitely cracking me and my bridesmaids up while we were getting ready. Since we were running late getting to the venue for the first look photos he offered to drive my maid of honor and I to the venue in his car which saved us a lot of time and got me to my handsome groom faster :) He's always very responsive to emails and calls. Our main thing was that we didn't want to have a lot of corny, staged pictures and we wanted a lot of candid shots of all of our guests having a good time. He more than delivered on that and we couldn't be happier. I highly recommend choosing Walter Wilson Studios to capture the moments of any special event. More...

There aren't enough great things to say about Wally.... From the moment we first met with him, we had a feeling that we had met our wedding photographer. Warm, genuine, and just down to have a great time and capture the best moments of our big day.Wally walked us through the whole process making us feel confident and worry-free on our wedding day. He and Edward hustled like crazy to capture the day from top to bottom, and just felt like an extension of our guests, having fun with everyone and getting in the mix.We just got our photos back, and couldn't be happier. My wife and I were super nervous, as we're more "behind the camera" people, and didn't want to come off self conscious or posed in our photos. We shouldn't have ever been worried knowing that we were in Wally's hands.

There are so many wonderful comments I can share regarding Wally and his AMAZING talent. I saw some of his photos on a floral site and I was speechless at his work. When we started looking at the Walter Wilson Studios site we couldn't get over his eye to capture a moment through the camera lens. My husband and I looked at many photographers online and Wally's quality and body of work was beyond anyone else we viewed.

Wally is extremely personable, easy to work with and will capture your day in ways you won't expect. He has a photojournalistic approach to his work which we LOVED!!!!! Color, black and white...You name it! He was always full of enthusiasm and PASSION throughout the entire day...constantly looking for new angles/shots to make sure those "special" moments were caught. People at the wedding commented on Wally and how much they enjoyed being around him to shoot photos. Other vendors were raving about him too!

We were EXTREMELY happy with the wedding photos once we received them. There were so many great shots we are now having a difficult time choosing which ones to select for the family albums! My husband and I teared up looking through them as they captured our wedding day so beautifully. None of his photos have watermarks and we can easily share them with family members. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Walter Wilson Studios!!!! Thank you Wally for making our wedding so memorable.

We met Wally by walking our bulldog in our neighborhood. Wally has a bulldog too, so we hit it off instantly! We later learned that Wally was a photographer, 2 months later we were engaged, and 1 week later we hired him as our wedding photographer.

Walter is SO talented and truly knows what he's doing. We took our engagement photos in October and they were absolutely stunning. We had so many people told us they were the best engagement photos they had ever seen. He was very flexible with the location we chose and prompt with communication. Not only is he great at taking pictures, but he is great at making you feel comfortable and coaching you on how to pose/ what will make your body type look best.

When it was getting close to our wedding date, he told us it would be a good idea to meet and go over our timeline. He let us know that the way our timeline was set up, we would only have 1 hour for dancing at the end of our wedding. This was NOT what we wanted, and with his help, we adjusted the timeline and we were able to change that to 3 hours of dancing (which was obviously the best part of the night). He is a professional and has worked so many weddings, he knows what works and what doesn't, and we truly appreciated his advice and insight. He was great getting the family pictures done efficiently and stress-free, and was right in the middle of the party getting the fun and crazy shots through the end.

it was the BEST decision to hire Wally for our wedding photography, I would recommend him to anyone I know getting married.

My husband and I are beyond happy that we found Walter!First of all we are from Chicago and just got married in California. We hired a photographer from Chicago originally who was not what we had expected after receiving our engagement photos. So frantically we needed a new photographer ASAP.  Walter was so accommodating with our schedule and setting up a time to meet while we were out in California. My husband and I were late to this meeting and new Walter had a date with his wife... and we couldn't make him late! After 5 minutes and of course stalking his gorgeous pictures on his website we knew Walter was the guy! His personality is contagious and he is so good at what he does!He was so responsive over the phone and through email.  The day of the wedding came and Walter and his second photographer Edward arrived right on time!  They went above and beyond getting perfect shots of our wedding! Our family was so impressed with Walters professionalism and personality! We received so many compliments all night!

I don't even know where to begin. Wally (Walter) is hands down the most amazing photographer I have ever met! My husband and I first met him when he was shooting one of our best friend's wedding. He was all up in the action getting all of those amazing moments, hilarious drinking pictures, and of course the dance party! We ended up seeing Wally in action at 4 of our other friend's weddings, so by that time, I 110% knew I was going to contact him for our wedding. I got to experience his work first hand, and I without a doubt didn't want anyone else to be our photographer. Wally is extremely professional, super sweet, and fun to hang out with! He makes it easy to go with the flow and just be goofy - hence the great moments in pictures! Our engagement pictures were breathtaking. Our session was Hotel Del and it was just beautiful. Wally was extremely patient with me, because of course I wanted to change my outfit 3 times! The sunset came out perfectly in every single of our pictures and the quality is just amazing. Not to mention it was such a fun session!!I could go on and on about our wedding pictures. Every.single.photo blew us away. BEYOND what we were expecting. He caught so many beautiful moments that I actually teared looking at a few. Every time I look at our photos, I feel like I'm reliving our day all over again. He captured all of my favorite moments on that day and I just can't thank him enough for that. Wally - You're an incredible photographer!! We HIGHLY recommend Walter Wilson Studios.

Top 9 reasons Walter Wilson is the best photographer and why you shouldn't wait a second longer to call him and see if he's available for your wedding or event. 1. ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY. Wally's photos speak for themselves. They capture emotion, are artistically crafted. They aren't the boring, pose and snap shots that anyone can take. His photographs will transport you back to every memory and emotion you felt at that moment. And they aren't cheesy. If you're looking for photos holding a chalkboard and some writing or silly poses with props - Wally's not your guy. But if you have an appreciation for journalistic phototypography that looks like art on your walls - call him now.  2. GOOD HUMAN BEING: Wally is an exceptionally kind person and someone you want to be there on your most intimate and special day for you and your family. My family fell in love with Wally. 3. GIVES DIRECTION: Professional photography is not meant for shy, passive people. You want to make a living of it, you have to be personal and you can't be afraid to tell people to change poses, fix their hair, fix their look, turn this way. And you have to be able to move fast. That's what Wally does. 4. GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND - helping with boutonnieres, extras, flexible. Carries a pocket knife on him with a full belt of needs. He's more prepped than most wedding planners are. 5. NO WATERMARKS. HELLO! In today's day and age with social media replacing the photo albums we grew up with - I think it's the most obnoxious thing in the world when photographers watermark every single photo. You paid for them. You paid for the service and the photos, but they aren't actually yours This is absurd. Wally is the only photographer I have ever met and worked with (I am in marketing) who has zero ego, is not self-serving and isn't asking you to promote him. You know why? Because his business is incredible and it speaks for itself. And guess what - because of that attitude it compels you to write a top ten list about him and post it on every review site. 6. RELIABLE: Showed up early for our first meeting, showed up early to every other meeting, and even came early for the wedding to set up. 7. TIMELY: I found Wally on Yelp- at the time I think we was rated one of the top 5. I messaged about 3 or 4 of the top rated photographers. Wally got back to me the fastest and the WARMEST. One of the photographers made you fill out a form and answer a bunch of questions about who you are and what you're like. Because "they are so popular and only choose a few weddings a year so they like to make sure it's a good match." Then when they finally got back to me way after I had my first phone call with Wally - I told them no thanks and then they were shocked and wanted to know why. Are you serious? 8. HIRES GREAT ASSISTANTS: Wally's team has the same standards in photography and professionalism that he does. 9. OTHER VENDORS LOVE HIM. When I told my DJ, wedding planner and officaint. They all immediately knew who he was and were ecstatic that I hired him. More...

He was also incredibly diligent with the editing process and we got to see our photos very soon after our day. Our wedding book is beautiful and my husband and I truly appreciate all his hard work. I would highly recommend him ! More...

Walter Wilson Studios did an amazing job capturing our very special day. I truly cannot say enough about his work. These are pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. My wife & I decided on a destination wedding in Mexico. Walter joined us to cover the days leading up to our wedding, as well as, to shoot our big day. He was always professional & eager to get "the best shot." Rest assured that if you choose him to be your photographer, your pictures will be of the highest quality. He is one of the best out there!

I haven't even seen many of our wedding pictures yet (considering my wedding was three days ago) but I'm ready to post my five star review! I wish I could give more stars than that. I searched through San Diego photographers' websites... not finding any work I liked UNTIL I stumbled upon Walter Wilson Studios. I knew right away we would be lucky to have him photograph our wedding. I am still so happy he was available and cannot wait to see all the photos. He truly is the BEST you will find - not only in San Diego, but beyond! More...

Wally does an amazing job of capturing "The Moment". He took us to some amazing, handpicked locations for our engagement shoot and capped it off with an amazing wedding day. My wife was and is so happy everytime she looks through our photos. We recently discovered we were missing some of our photos and within an hour Wally had them to us. His service is impeccable, his attention to detail is outstanding. He is the no brainier of wedding and event photography. More...

Walter is the BEST! His work speaks for itself. We used Walter for our engagement and wedding photos. We had our dog in both shoots and somehow Walter was able to get him to pose and look at the camera. He's professional, organized, very responsive and his price is right! If money is tight cut back on anything but your pictures. You will not regret chose get Walter Wilson Studios More...

My daughter got married a couple weeks ago!  Walter was so extremely pleasant to work with.  Great personality, fun, and just a super nice guy.  He was very professional as was his assistant.  We obviously don't have the photos yet but I'm sure they will be fantastic!  I would highly recommend Walter for a wedding or any other special event.

Walter was a great photographer, we loved having him capture our wedding day last year. He's a fun, easy going guy that you'd probably have a great time with at a social gathering. ..he kinda felt like he melded right in with our guests, but captured all the moments in the wedding and reception.Definitely super experienced. What we found most important is he really wasted no time on the big day. He had a mental game plan of exactly who needed to go where, stand where, etc and we got through those requisite group pics and family pics expediently-and they were great when we got them back! We were really glad to have great shots, but also glad to have missed as little as possible while taking pictures.I'd describe his photo style as more photo journalist-less etherial, light bathed, instagram filter-ish. This is perfect for the dance floor (which was super big for us). However when we met with him before he was definitely willing to do anything we had in mind. Thanks (many month later) Walter! :) More...

Walter was one of the best choices I made with wedding planning! Starting from the beginning he was open to our ideas for engagement photos. We did a World War 2 inspired shoot and it was fabulous! Still getting tons of comments on them today! Then on the wedding day he was willing to shoot all the pix I wanted that were inspired from pintrest! The shots were amazing! He's beyond creative, super friendly, and down to earth! After our wedding photos came back I wanted a re-do of our rings and Wally was more than willing to meet me to re-shoot the Rings! The time to get all the finished photos back was longer than I expected, but totally worth the wait! Understandable when this guy is booked all year round! I also love that he gives you the rights to the photos so you're able to print them yourself! I would highly recommend Walter Wilson Studios! More...
