Introduction

My greatest passions revolve around my beautiful wife, our three amazing daughters, photography, and traveling. Several years ago, I photographed a friend's wedding and I was instantly hooked by how enjoyable it was. As a wedding photographer, I’m drawn to the creative freedom it offers, allowing me to blend elements of documentary, fashion, and editorial photography, often in one day. I approach each wedding as a collaborative experience. Rather than simply being an observer, I'm there to capture the true spirit and emotions of your day. When you look back at your photos, I want you to see authentic moments, genuine smiles, unguarded expressions, and those perfect, spontaneous moments. I often work in NJ, PA, and NY, but I also travel a lot for work. Please visit my website for more info - William West Studio Thanks for stopping by.

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!

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!

You will not be disappointed. Professional. Experienced. Talented. Very like able and easy-going personality. Delivers what is promised. My husband and I loved working with William! Of all the decisions we needed to make when planning our wedding, our photographer was one that ranked high on priority. I first saw Williams profile on thumbtack, and then reviewed his website. I shared the website with my husband and we planned a call to ask some questions and get to know him a little more. We knew after we spoke to him, that he was going to be our guy. He is confident in what he's doing, which is very reassuring. That confidence and professionalism was demonstrated during our event and it kept us (me) calm! He arrived well before the ceremony was to begin, and began doing what he does! We expressed to William that our ceremony was small and intimate- 25 people only and that it was just family so we wanted to be present as much as we could. My husband and I wanted photos together, but we didn't want to miss spending time with our family in spite of it. This is where his experience was so key- he took us outside and had an eye for exactly the best places to take some shots. He made us feel so comfortable, that our photos came out natural, sincere, and genuine. I was afraid of anything looking "staged" ... But everything came out natural! And, gorgeous! And more- we weren't gone long from our reception. We also were careful to express that we didn't want our photographer to be in anyone's face, since it was such an intimate experience- On this he delivered too! We hardly ever noticed him at all!!!!!! This was great because he captured so many candid moments of us and our family- it did not feel like he was another guest at the wedding- he was in the background doing his thing- but that never compromised any photos because so many special moments were captured. William was thorough in making sure he took the family portraits that we wanted, and was available for anything we needed. I received many quotes from photographers while shopping around- William was hands down the best value for his rate. It was less than 24hrs before he had a sneak peak of our photos available online for us to peak at and share with family! We got married on Saturday- so this means that the rest of Saturday and/or Sunday, he was working to deliver this to us- Thank you William!
