I don’t know where to start, other than to say of all of our awesome vendors, Wes is the one I am happiest to have found. From our first phone call before booking, Wes stood out. We were on the phone for an hour where Wes walked us through his process, got to know our wants and needs, and answers our questions. He was so kind, thorough, and intentional. Immediately we knew we wanted to work with him. We met via zoom a few weeks before the wedding and went through a timeline of the day, and Wes made sure we hadn’t missed anything on his forms to make sure he captured all our special moments.
NOW for the day of the wedding. Wes texted us ETAs, arrived early, took the most beautiful detail shots (at a venue he’s never been to before), set up for our first look, and knocked out bridal party photos before the ceremony. He grabbed us for golden hour, and only needed about 15-20 min to get the most natural and beautiful couples photos. A few awesome pics during the reception and he was outta there.
SOMEHOW ONLY TWO WEEKS LATER HE HAD OUR ENTIRE PORTFOLIO READY TO GO?!?!? They are the most gorgeous photos and I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of them. Not only did Wes capture all the details we cared so much about, he was able to highlight the whole mood and vibe of our day, how happy we all were and how much fun we all had together.
Wes is the most professional and enjoyable photographer to work with and he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I would highly recommend Wes to my friends and family, and anyone looking for a truly personal experience with their wedding photographer -

Our experience with Wesley was downright awesome. From the get-go, he wasn't just a photographer; he was like the ninja of capturing moments.
Sorting out the details for his trip to Washington? Wesley nailed it. Found the best deals, made everything easy. And the trail he picked for our shoot? Pure magic.
He's a trooper too – our hike was no walk in the park, but Wesley stayed chill and supportive throughout. No awkward poses, no wondering what to do; he guided us like a pro.
Communication was a breeze, online and in person. Quick responses? Always. And get this – he was totally cool with holding onto our photos until our wedding, four months later, just so we could keep them a surprise.
The photo turnaround? Blink, and they were in our inbox. The pics? Mind-blowing. Opted for a photo album through Wesley, and it's basically a work of art.
If you are here wondering if Wesley is the right photographer, the answer is yes. He is organized, so sweet, and damn good at what he does. Our Washington vow reading was epic, and he played a huge part in making it unforgettable. -

Fairytale wedding
My husband and I are so happy we found Wesley as our wedding photographer. He really captured everything we were looking for and more. Booking with Wes, you’ll have beautiful memories for a lifetime. He was charming, professional and so easy to work with. Our Yosemite wedding and our photos came out absolutely perfect and we have Wes to thank for that. He also sent a thank you package with a few photos and a USB..it was very thoughtful. I’d highly recommend Wesley as a wedding photographer. Thanks Wes!!!! -

I can’t say enough positive things about Wes, as a photographer, wedding coordinator, and generally as a human being. I’d be lying if I told you I did a great job planning my wedding as my fiancé and I both started new jobs at the time and were planning our whole wedding out-of-state. Wes not only comforted us through the whole planning process but was also willing to meet us the day before the wedding to act as our coordinator since we had only seen The Palace of Fine Arts once before our ceremony. He was familiar with the location of our venue and offered valuable insider knowledge on how to setup the ceremony for the best framing and lighting, coordinated the whole ceremony day-of, directed traffic pattern during the event, and of course, taking the most AMAZING pictures that we will cherish for all the years to come. Our wedding would not have been the same if it weren’t for Wes – his talent and professionalism made our day possible, but his support and personable attitude made it an unforgettable experience. If you’re lucky enough to have him as a photographer, know you are in good hands. -

Absolutely amazing!
Wesley was an amazing photographer! Our pictures turned out so beautiful and look like they should be in a magazine. He was super fun to work with and made the picture process super fun. We cannot recommend Wesley enough, you will not be disappointed with your photos! My husband was speechless when he saw our photos and said he didn’t think he’d ever get a chance to get such amazing photos and that we looked like models in them lol. Everyone who saw our photos loved them and said they were the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. If you are looking for a photographer, we 100% recommended Wesley! -

Wesley made our surprise engagement everything that I could have asked for! After the initial phone call, I could tell that Wes was going to be the one to bring my idea to life. He is professional, caring, responsive, and prompt. We thank him for all that he did for us and cannot recommend him enough! -

So a friend found him for me because I was looking for a specific style and Wesley fit perfectly. He was very responsive when I sent my initial inquiry. My fiance and I did not know much but he was very kind and gave us some idea. Once the day for the engagement photos came, my fiance and I messed up but he Wesley was so forgiving and flexible. As stressed as we were the pics came out so beautiful!! They were given to us within a few days which amazed me. I would definitely recommend him for photos :)Wesley Harden Photography's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was my pleasure and I hope you enjoy these photos for years to come :) -

One of a Kind!
Wesley is an amazing person and a talented photographer. I am so happy we went with him for our engagement photos. Wesley captured our happiness perfectly amongst our awkwardness. He instantly made us feel comfortable with him. He is very responsive and professional as well. The photos he took of us in one of our favorite places are photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Cannot say enough good things about him. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. -

Vladislav M. Sent on 05/22/2023Great Photographer!
Wesley was so great to work with! He is extremely organized from the very beginning, knows the area we chose very well (Yosemite Valley), and his finished product was exceptional. Everyone loved the photos and we couldn't be happier with how they came out. Wesley even helped us organize our small crowd of less-than 20 guests. He was quick and efficient, and also very communicative throughout the entire process. If we need a photographer, we will surely hire Wesley again. Thank you Wesley for everything! -

Wonderful Yosemite Bridal Session
Wes is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever come across. He was great to work with and his knowledge of the Yosemite area was invaluable. Despite it raining intermittently throughout our session, he kept my wife, our daughter and myself all motivated and was able to capture some amazing photographs that we continually receive compliments on. The photographs he captures speak for themselves and we’re very grateful and happy that he was able to capture such a special moment that we’ll be able to enjoy for the rest of our lives. -

Wesley is the guy for you !
From start to finish Wesley was incredible. From the first zoom meetings to the big day everything was perfect.
He helped us with time management, choosing locations and everything in between.
When we finally met on the day he was so charming and an absolute pleasure to have as a guest at our wedding.
The level of support and guidance went way above and beyond anything we expected.
And the photos, Wow! Every moment was captured beautifully, we felt like movie stars.

The Best Choice!
We would choose Wesley over and over again! From our first conversation, Wesley has made us feel so comfortable with every aspect of our wedding. He is truly a professional and he went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was as smooth as possible. He prioritized us and what we wanted and I could not be more thankful! Wesley is such a talented photographer and his photos are to die for! As a couple who rarely takes photos, he was able to guide us and make us feel at ease in front of the camera. His turnaround time is so fast. We were able to enjoy our photos from our special day right away and will continue to cherish them forever! I get constant compliments from our guests on the professionalism of Wesley and the quality of his photos. Do not hesitate and book him now!

Hbomb Sent on 02/19/2023If you are looking for a photographer in Yosemite, look no further!!
Where does one begin, I cannot recommend Wesley enough. Myself and my husband were married Cathedral Beach, Yosemite, it's one thing to have beautiful scenery but it is another to have a photographer to capture those moments. We had never had professional pictures taken before, but Wesley made us feel comfortable and also natural. In addition to this, it's no secret that Yosemite is popular, but somehow Wesley was able to avoid the majority of the crowds and provided us with some intimate photos away from the other tourists. Wesley knows the park inside and out (as we were coming from Florida/England), he was able to guide us for the day. He captured some intimate moments of the two of us, alongside incredible of photos of our friends and family. Not only are myself and my husband grateful but our friends and family has nothing but compliments for Wesley. If you are looking to for a Yosemite Photographer, Wesley is (in my opinion) the only one you should choose! These pictures hang proudly in our home. Thank you Wesley for everything! -

Perfect Surprise Proposal Photos
Wesley photographed my proposal to my girlfriend in Yosemite while we were traveling this summer. I cannot say enough about how professional, helpful, flexible, and personable Wesley was throughout the whole process. We spoke on the phone multiple times leading up to the proposal, easing my nerves and answering any questions I had. He helped me select a perfect location, time frame, and helped make sure the whole proposal (and our photo session) went smoothly. I would recommend Wesley to anyone that is looking for a photographer in the Yosemite area and beyond! Our photos turned out beautifully and will give us a chance to remember that day and moment forever. THANK YOU WESLEY! -
