From the second I saw pictures of weddings from 5 West Studios on their blog, I knew this was the professional I wanted to have for my wedding. Their photos take the artistic side...
of the wedding, and make the photos so unique and special. I am a big fan of the black and white photos and no one compares to them- 5 West Studios takes the cake! So many friends who have seen our engagement photos have made comments about how beautiful and "us" the photos are- the quality of the pictures is fantastic! Spencer and his assistent were also so easy to work with and fun! I couldn't imagine using anyone else- I am lucky to be able to say I had 5 West Studios at my wedding to capture my special day. Thanks again Spencer! You are the best!

day that can be stressful, it's wonderful to have a photographer with such a calm, peaceful demeanor. And we barely knew he was there at either the ceremony or the reception.
Spencer was so easy to work with. He let me enjoy my wedding and was very responsive whenever I emailed him.
Spencer and his team were awesome. They were not intrusive but managed to snap some great photos throughout the day. Great to work with....I believe the office moved to Brooklyn,...

sy or having to set up each shot, and of fully displaying the magic of each moment of your special day, to me, is unparalleled. I can't even count how many people told me that my wedding pictures were the most beautiful they had ever seen.
I did a LOT of research for photographers as it was the most important choice I felt I'd make for my day, and could not have been happier. I would recommend Spencer and his team to anyone, and promise you'll be happy you checked them out!
