MY APPROACH TO YOUR STORY

I am all in! I’m a documentary photographer who will hone in on your unique story, your family, and your observed traditions. I promise to be engaged and present for all of it, using all of my 16 years experience and ability to create the most meaningful and genuine images together with you.

For your portraits I gently and playfully coach and direct as needed, creating a relaxed and collaborative environment. By the time your wedding arrives we will have talked extensively and had an engagement session. This helps your comfort and leads to more relaxed and natural wedding day photos.

I will provide an empathetic and complementary perspective for you.

WES CRAFT'S PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE

Natural Color. Cinematic. Intentional. Dynamic.

Wes is obsessed with composition, frame design, and light quality while he anticipates the moment unfolding. He strives for three things in his work: a decisive moment, lovely light, and a well-crafted composition. A good image has one or two of those traits but a great image has all three.

Your wedding will be packed with activity and over before you know it. Wes wants you to remember all the love and joy vividly  as if you were right back in that moment.

Wes’ post processing/editing won’t instantly outdate your photos with some cookie-cutter filter that strips away the colors. You’ll find rich natural color in your photos and some classy black and whites too.

 

Wes

  • Born in Canada to parents from Alabama (Roll Tide)
  • Spent early childhood in Northwestern Thailand and age 12-18 in the Philippines.
  • College in Nashville, TN (Theater, Photography, and Cinematography)
  • I play guitar a little each day.
  • I’m usually listening to a new musical artist or back catalogue classic albums.
  • Favorite Director: Wes Anderson. I love the quirky stylized set design, use of color, and the tender heart his central characters posses.
  • Rushmore is one of my favorite movies and my favorite Wes Anderson film.

Necia

 

  • Born overseas to Michiganders, I moved to the States when I was 14. The midwest is now home and I love to camp on Lake Michigan: Sleeping Bear Dunes and Ludington are some of our favs.
  • I still am friends with and dearly love every single one of my bridesmaids. I wish I could hang out with them everyday instead of a few times a year.
  • I talk with my hands and also love to work with my hands. I have a background in bookbinding, custom-framing, and fine art.
  • I tear up at weddings all the time. We have two little girls and the father-daughter dance hits me especially hard these days.
