    Bill is the best!

    Bill spent 12 hours with our family on my son's wedding day. He took pre-wedding pictures, as well as ceremony, reception and send-off photos. Bill took the time in advance to understand what the bride and groom wanted. He captured imaginative photographs that are both beautiful and meaningful. Some are simply jaw-dropping. Bill worked tirelessly that day and was seemingly everywhere all at once. He earns our highest possible recommendation.

    William was phenomenal! He was professional all the way throughout the process and very responsive. His photos turned out amazing and he was very accommodating in working in a less than ideal space (got married in a partitioned area in a restaurant). Despite the location difficulties, he did amazing work and my wife and I would recommend him to anyone

    There aren't enough words to describe how happy we were with William. He is so professional and fun! Everyone appreciated his personality and his command of the photography. He has a vision and understanding of the job that is difficult to find. We highly recommend him to anyone hoping to capture their special day. A+ experience from day 1.

    I had the pleasure of working with William and his assistant for one of our June weddings at Woodend Sanctuary in Chevy Chase, MD. It was an extremely hot and humid day, and William was amazing at helping our couple have fun, look and feel confident, and helping to coordinate all of the family, bridal party, and newlywed photos. He even went above and beyond and MC'ed part of the reception for all of the speeches and announcements, and he was great on pivoting with a lot of last minute changes throughout the night. William has such a memorable photography style, and as a planner, I appreciate his willingness to adapt, collaborate, and roll with the punches on the wedding day. It was such a fun wedding and I can't recommend him enough to clients and other vendors!

    My husband and I connected with William right away during our impromptu engagement session. His work on our wedding is phenomenal!! We recommend him for sure!

Typically, couples book me about 6-12 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
I bring an assistant photographer depending on the size of the wedding. Its optional, though.
Yes, I will edit all final images for color and exposure to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
Yes, I offer a couple of options for video of your wedding day. Ask me for more details on what options are available.
You will be provided a private online gallery where your high-resolution images will be available within 90 days for viewing, printing, and downloading.
You can expect about 50 to 80 images per hour of photography. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never canceled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers, so you can find the perfect replacement.
