Hello, I'm Wes

Wedding & Portrait PhotographeR based iN THE Washington, DC AREA

My love for photography started early, messing around with my family’s Polaroid 600. And yes, the one you probably shook even though the instructions said not to… but we definitely did. That curiosity stuck, and in 2011 I picked up my first professional DSLR and started documenting real moments as they happened.


When it comes to creating images, I keep things simple, natural, and genuine. I care about real moments. Anyone can take a nice photo, but the images that last a lifetime are the ones that feel honest. The laughs, the pauses, the in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening, the stuff that just can’t be planned or rehearsed. I want you to feel comfortable and be yourself. No stiff posing, no forced smiles, just you being you.


Whether I’m photographing a wedding day, portrait session, or event, my goal is always the same: capture moments that feel honest and authentic, so when you look back, it feels like stepping right back into that moment.


I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and create images that feel like you now and for years to come.

 

Let’s work together
