Abby G. Married couple on 08 Mar 2024

Will is professional, easy to work with, and so nice. He and his additional photographer were always on time, they were both very clear with their directions for the wedding party/family positions and poses and they were SO patient when we still struggled haha! He was probably the ONLY vendor that didn’t make me want to pull my hair out! The previews we have received are so lovely and I cannot wait to see them all. My husband and I loved working with Will and would hire him again in a heartbeat. William West Studio is definitely worth the money you will pay!!

Abigail D Married couple on 08 Mar 2024

We cannot recommend Will enough. He and another photographer he hired to help were present on our wedding day and they both were professional, caring, kind and so easy to work with. Throughout the entire planning process William was attentive to detail, prompt with communication and genuinely the least stressful aspect of the whole shebang. Worth his weight in gold, worth every penny you spend! We have gotten a few previews back already and they are so beautiful. If you want a top tier photographer, this is the guy for you.

Megan Married couple on 01 Mar 2024

We hired William West (for our November 2023 wedding) 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!

Vivian Vuong Married couple on 18 Nov 2023

Will and Jenn were amazing!!! We never had to worry about how photography would turn out on our big day. From our first call to follow up call, Will was always easy to reach, communicative and made us feel we could fully trust him with his vision. His website portfolio speaks for itself! He has a great eye for candids and capturing special moments. Looking back at the pictures we received, there’s some my (now) husband doesn’t even remember a photographer being there. He works his magic and fits in with the crowd :)

Kristen Gwiazdowski Married couple on 11 Nov 2023

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!

Lindsay + Jordan Married couple on 04 Nov 2023

Blown away! We are absolutely floored by the quality of our photos. He captured us getting ready as well as the ceremony and reception. We are absolutely in love with all of our photos. Thank you so much!

Tiffany H. Married couple on 25 Oct 2023

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!

Ahsan R. Married couple on 14 Oct 2023

I would highly recommend William West Studio to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. William's work is truly exceptional, and his website is a great reflection of his professionalism and dedication to his craft.

If you are in the market for a photographer who can capture the magic of your special day in a truly unforgettable way, William West is definitely worth considering.

Bree Gates Married couple on 14 Oct 2023

About

Photographer William West Studio About me

I've been photographing weddings for more than two decades, always mindful that I'm witnessing one of the most important days in someone's life. My approach is simple: stay out of the way and keep things easy and laid-back. I'm not there to manufacture moments, but to notice what's already there—the quiet glances, the laughter, and the in-between seconds that often matter the most. Prior to becoming a professional photographer, I worked in graphic communications for publications including Rolling Stone, Architectural Digest, Bon Appétit, and The New Yorker, as well as on-staff at a NYC celebrity and culture magazine. My wedding work has since taken me across the country and abroad, with images published in Vogue, Tatler, GQ, and The New York Times. At home, life revolves around my beautiful wife, our three amazing daughters, and Enzo, our lovable Spinone Italiano. Thanks for stopping by. I'd love to hear about your wedding.
