If you're trying to find a photographer for important photos, stop looking now and hire William! He is a true professional. I hired him for a bridal shoot And could not be happier with the images he produced. Additionally, despite the terrible wind and smoke from the recent fires, William directed us and expertly navigated the elements-a real pro. Plus, he's very thoughtful and took time to hear what my vision was and offer expert advice. We will certainly use him again! Can't share my photos yet because the wedding is still two weeks away, but I cannot wait to share these!

Will is such a talented and fantastic photographer to work with! Not only is he super friendly and open to suggestions, but he also has a keen eye for beautiful framing and photo editing. We worked with Will for our wedding and were so thrilled with the photos that we had him back for a family photo session (with baby) seven years later! I would highly recommend him to capture the magic of any special occasion or family portraits!

Sweet William Photography, helped to capture the true magic of my wedding! William was more that just a photographer though, he felt like a friend from the very beginning. As someone who is not very comfortable being photographed or in front of the camera in general, he made me very comfortable, happy, and cared for. Even when he had to tell me to "put my chin up" million times, he was patient and very kind.
His patience extended to every member of our wedding, including my handicapped mother-in-law. His pictures were above and beyond what I could've imagined, and he even managed to capture amazing photos of my four legged wedding party members! I would recommend William to anyone hosting a special event, because he will make it much more special and memorable! He will make you feel like a friend, form a relationship wtih you, and go above and beyond! Thank you Sweet William for being so sweet! I'm so glad I hired him, and you will be too!

We looked at several photography options online and none of them felt right--( you're trusting someone with capturing moments for one of the biggest days of your life!) Then we finally found William and knew from the first meeting that this was our wedding photographer! He makes you feel comfortable which is much needed when taking any photos let alone wedding/engagement photos. He and his team is professional, caring, and so talented!
We even had a lot of rain during our outdoor reception and there was William capturing some fantastic rain shots that another photographer may have shyed away from. I cant say enough positive things so just take this as a sign that you just found your photographer! He is amazing!
