We hired William West after seeing his portfolio online - we loved his photojournalistic and candid style and wanted our wedding day photos to highlight the emotion and joy we were sharing with our loved ones. Will was professional and one of the most responsive vendors we worked with throughout our planning process. Will is incredibly detail-oriented and deeply cares about his work. We met on the phone before wedding day to run through the timeline of events and he brought a second shooter, Jessie (also top-notch!) to capture the evening. Our pictures are such high-quality and show the beautiful, candid moments that we experienced during our wedding day. I have been constantly looking back at them and re-living the day again and again. I am so thankful to have such beautiful photographs to cherish forever. We are blown away by the quality and can't recommend Will enough! More...

I had the pleasure of working with Will and his associate Allyson for my wedding on 10/14/2023. Will was so easy to work with and Allyson was such a breeze to work with for the day. She captured the most amazing shots and Will did some incredible editing. We were so thrilled and still are with the way our day was captured. Highly suggest working with Will! More...

I can’t say enough good things about William and his services. He was amazing to work with and really captured our wedding day beautifully. He responded quickly if o had questions leading up to the wedding, and he was even able to find a second shooter 3 weeks before our big day. We got the preview of our photos 2 days after our wedding and they blew me away! I can’t stop looking at them, and I’m excited to get the rest back soon! More...

William photographed my wedding this July in CT. I would recommend his services. He works with you during the booking process to answer all the questions you may have and makes you feel at ease. We had a final consultation the week or so before the wedding. He travels virtually anywhere, but is based out of NY. On the wedding day he got the all of our portraits done quickly and efficiently. He even stayed a little longer than we had agreed upon. He edits all his photos himself. He really made me feel comfortable my special day was being captured. More...

Capturing your wedding in Connecticut was a pleasure, and I am thrilled to have been a part of your day. Your kind words inspire me to continue striving for excellence in my work, and I hope we can work together in the future. Thank you once again for your trust and support.

Will was fantastic to work with! I was so happy about our choice to work with him. He was easy to work with, really listened to what we wanted and worked to accommodate. His photography style is very natural and fluid. He is great at capturing moments and making it feeling effortless, not forced and doesn’t distract you from enjoying your special day! The pictures turned out stunning! I would work with Will again in an instant! More...

William is a consummate professional, dedicated to reasonable rates and exceptional service. He and I have now worked together multiple times—first my wedding, and then again when he shot a high-concept photo series for my album and associated publicity (I’m a musician). I couldn’t begin to say enough about how talented, intuitive, and kind he is. He’s gone above and beyond at every opportunity. A rare talent and a seriously nice guy. I’ll work with him forever if he lets me. More...

Thank you so much! It's been an honor getting to know you through the years, and I am always in awe of your remarkable talents. I'm looking forward to collaborating with you again and creating something great together. Thank you again for everything.

Will offered us a remarkable experience at our wedding. He was punctual, kind to our guests, attentive to my requests and overall, very polite and professional.
Not to mention responsive and patient during the whole online process.
At the wedding, there were times I almost forgot he was there - that’s how discrete he was!
Will, thank you for documenting such a dear event to us and we just can’t wait to see the final result of your work of art.
All those considering hiring his services may be assured that Will is well worth the investment, has years of experience and is a positive and enthusiastic person to have around.

Look no further if you want superior pictures taken! Will worked with me for a couple of occasions in Philadelphia. One of the pictures he took of me ended up becoming my album cover "Kinderscenen" (sold out at in Philadelphia and New York City), others were used as my concert flyers for publicity. Will makes you feel comfortable right away, and he wastes no time. As soon as you meet with him, he immediately starts creating a vision for you and pursues the best results for your purposes. He is a risk-taker in his art-making. I thank Will for working with me and creating so many memorable pictures which I am so fond of. More...

My review for Will is slightly limited, as he ended up not being our photographer, but I can *still* recommend him! We hired Will to shoot our March 2020 wedding, and when we rescheduled for March 2022 he was unable to sign on to that date, but before I had the chance to sweat Will already had a menu of alternatives to choose from, and the photographers we ended up with were stellar! Will oversaw the whole process, helped with editing, managed our photo site... the works. We had a sampling of photos just a few days after the wedding and the whole batch 5 weeks out. Will was responsive, courteous, and just lovely throughout. All the qualities you want in a photographer. Highly recommend! More...

Denise & Kevin
William is an extraordinary photographer with the ability to capture moments that you didn't even know existed or were happening! Between our engagement photos and wedding photos, William has surprised and impressed my husband and I over and over again!!! He was always available to talk on the phone or converse over email about ANYTHING I had questions about throughout the entire year of wedding planning! He was very helpful with creating and modifying the wedding day itinerary that I provided for my other vendors and wedding party. At the end of the day, if you want a passionate photographer that truly enjoys and has an eye for capturing spontaneous, loving moments between everyone on your wedding day... WILLIAM IS YOUR GUY!!! He has a real eye for beauty and doesn't force you to do anything corny or stage anything that feels awkward. He treated me like a real princess on my wedding day and listened to what I wanted without making me feel like this was just another "gig" for him. Thank you SO much William for showing us your real passion for photography and capturing so many beautiful moments during both our engagement session in NYC and our wedding day in NJ! As my husband always says, you were our favorite vendor!! :) More...

If you want a talented photographer who is truly invested in your big day/vision, then William West is your guy. He is professional, responsive, and will do whatever he can to ensure your expectations are met (and exceeded) . We had to cancel our wedding due to the pandemic, and had to cancel our rescheduled wedding due to pregnancy, and he worked with us through the entire process. We are scheduled with him for the third attempt to get married in June 2024 and couldn’t be happier to still have him on board. Your big day will last only a few hours, make the investment in bespoke photos that are backed by a true professional. You will not regret it. More...

I am very pleased and very happy with our wedding day and with this company. William West was our photographer. He was amazing, but honestly, I expected nothing less from him. He was one of my favorites from the beginning and I am so grateful he flew all the way from New York to shoot our little Texas barefoot wedding. We got our photos a little more than a month after our wedding, which was a huge, awesome surprise! Ian was super cool! He was sweet and all over the place. I can not wait to see the video! More...

Jessica & Omar
A true artist! Will shot our wedding in October, and we couldn't have been happier with the results. I was looking for a photographer with a great eye who wouldn't break the bank, and Will was the most amazing find. This man is a real photographer with an eye for natural moments. He won't overly pose you, he won't add that weird grayish/neutral filter that all Instagram wedding photographers seem to layer on these days. But his photos are absolutely stunning, we got compliments from everyone! Just one tip: if you have any specific people or items (e.g. detail shots) you want him to capture, make sure to specifically ask for them because he doesn't always follow the typical shot list that lots of other wedding photographers do (which I found refreshing). Do yourself a favor and hire Will! More...

Christopher & Kylie
Absolutely Wonderful! My husband and I are utterly grateful to Will for everything he has done to ensure the capturing of countless precious moments from our special day. From the start, Will was incredibly responsive, informative, patient, flexible, and present. He remained in active communication with us as we navigated the unknowns of the pandemic and was supportive of our difficult decision to postpone our event from 2020 to 2021, without any hesitation or additional requests. When our special day finally arrived in 2021, Will went above and beyond to ensure the capturing of absolutely beautiful and precious moments throughout our special day despite added unforeseen obstacles that arose. His commitment to quality and care has been unwavering, and having just received our wedding photos only confirms that, tenfold. We haven't stopped looking through our photos.. we can't! They are tender, charming, vibrant, authentic, touching, beautiful.. perfect for us. They capture the essence of our day so remarkably, bringing us straight back to each unforgettable moment. We were so impressed from the beginning when Will shared his incredibly reasonable prices with us and explained all that was included...a full day of photography from the early hours to late night hours of our special day, an online gallery of hundreds of beautifully captured and edited photos with NO watermark, 20 prints of our choice, AND a canvas! When we began planning for our wedding, we looked into a variety of photographers, and Will stood out as the most reasonable by far, without any compromise in quality. We were confident in Will's talents, quality, and professionalism right away, but now that we've worked with him and have received our photo gallery, we can't emphasize enough just how grateful and blessed we feel. We can only hope you make the same decision that we made. We know you will be just as grateful if you do! :) More...

Yasemin & Matthew
The perfect photographer! Will was exactly what we were looking for! We really wanted an "affordable" photographer with natural color edits, someone who wouldn’t make me do unnatural/fake poses all around the property for hours, someone with a more photojournalistic style who would capture what was actually happening at the time, and someone who would not send me 10,000 photos of the same thing and Will fit it all! I sent him a list of the photos I HAD TO HAVE ahead of time because I’m a control freak (ex. one with each parent, etc) and he even refrained from telling me how crazy I was :) He brought a second shooter of his choice who was also great and we honestly didn’t even know they were there the entire day - which I loved. Highly recommend! More...

We can honestly say that William traveled the world for us. We did something small and intimate over 3000 miles from home and William was about the only photographer showing us genuine interest. He made us feel that however small our wedding is, it is still as important as any he has covered. Photographs our beautiful, creativity is through the roof, we won't recommend William West Studio enough. More...

Just wonderful. We hired Will for our wedding which was originally scheduled for October 2020. First off, I am still over the moon that we were able to find such a talented photographer in exactly the style I wanted at the rate we did. However, beyond this, he has just been a lovely human being to work with. My fiancee and I made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding to May 2021 due to COVID, and Will was exceptionally understanding and flexible. With all the stress of wedding planning, and then wedding rescheduling, it is an unspeakable relief to be working with someone like Will. More...

Excellent experience, great value, and perfect pictures. William did exactly what I asked for. I asked for candid shots. And that’s exactly what William did. My friend, who likes photography, said, “Every time there was a special moment, your photographer was right there.” William captured the day fully and completely without having to pose for traditional portraits. All of my friends commented by saying, “Wow, you had a great photographer, and we never noticed him.” The pictures came out amazing. I highly recommend William West Studio. You can’t go wrong. 😉Happy Planning! Look no further, William West Studio is it. 👍👍👍 More...

We haven't had our wedding yet, but despite this, William has been wonderful. He has been extremely responsive, considerate of budgetary constraints, and has provided valuable insight above and beyond what we have expected. William's professional yet relaxed approach has us feeling confident that our upcoming day will be very well cared for and in great hands.
