The Next Best Men

st rate. 

so we could get spectacular photos right at sunset over the mountains. People called us crazy for organizing a wedding from out of state without a planner, but thanks to Evan we made it happen. Give this guy a call, you won't regret it!

brellas, enough for our entire wedding party! His spectacular photography turned the raindrops into sparkles. We ended up laughing through the rain, and once again when viewing our special photos. Evan, you are really the best!

f amazing in every way. Evan was excellent with his communication and understanding of what we were looking for in our wedding photographs, and he made our vision a reality. He was friendly, kind, and upbeat the whole day, and he brought out the best in us, especially when it came to candid photos. We have already gone through our entire album several times, and it truly feels like we are reliving our wedding day each time we look at them. Thank you Evan for making our day so special and memorable!

when I got our sneak peek just a few days after the wedding, my jaw dropped - the photos were STUNNING. He truly captured the spirit of the day and the photos were just a dream. Beyond the photos, Evan was incredible to work with. He was very kind and knowledgeable, and did a great job herding cats as everyone knows bridal parties can be. Would certainly hire him and The Next Best Men again!

essed with Evan’s work from the first time I came across Next Best Men’s portfolio on Instagram. Without Evan, we would not have had any great ideas or poses. He walked the property and found unique spots to create irreplaceable photos. Not only is his work remarkable, his personality was warm and friendly the entire time he was with us. All of our guests enjoyed speaking with him and he made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera! Our teaser photos have come out amazing and we can’t wait to see the remaining finals! Thank you so much Evan! We hope to work with you again someday.

wedding, Evan, and he is so refreshing.  It can be really hard finding a photographer that is able to find organic moments and early in my wedding photographer hunt, so many portfolios I was coming across felt so sterile and posed. We happened to meet The Next Best Men at a venue we were walking (there was another wedding setting up) and since they were a larger wedding, I believe there were two of them there. My mom spoke to both of them, one of them being Evan, and she enjoyed her interaction with them that she encouraged me to check them out! I went to their website and knew immediately that they were capturing the kind of photos my *now* husband wanted. And not only did they deliver, they went above and beyond.  Evan truly does have an eye for capturing memories. He captured all of these beautiful and special moments. It brought us right back and I gotta say, he had me crying all over again! We are incredibly lucky that we were able to book him. 

in Charleston on that same weekend which was an emotionally and physically exhausting feat. Evan from Next Best Men changed his plans along with us and came to shoot our wedding against all odds. He quickly felt like family which put myself and my husband at ease and this shows from the photos! Multiple friends and family members approached me stating how much they loved our photographer. We just got our photos back and they are better than we could have imagined. Look no further you have found your photographer!! Run don't walk to book Next Best Men for your wedding/even you will not forget it. <3

ht and knowing the perfect place and time for photos. He got our photos back to us in a timely manner and get this- over 1,000 photos! I am so delighted at each and everyone of them. My family and friends knew him by his first name by the end of the night because he was so interactive. I can’t thank The Next Best Men for their great communication, package and delivery of photos. Don’t hesitate- book them now. And ask for Evan!

same one. We are from Iowa and he made planning pictures so easy. He brought our vision to life. Don’t hesitate to book him!

was able to accommodate us the very next day. To top it all off, he was really sweet, professional and made the whole thing fun. The samples we have seen thus far look perfect and we cannot wait to see the rest!

oss The Next Best Man Photographer and reached out to them after seeing some of their incredible work. After chatting with Evan on the phone, I knew right away that I wanted him to capture our special day. Evan was super professional and friendly from the get-go. He gave us some great recommendations for our intimate wedding and was totally flexible when we had to change our venue two weeks before the big day. Evan showed up on time for our wedding, smiling and ready to go. He immediately started chatting with our family members and introducing himself. He made me, the nervous bride, and everyone else feel comfortable and relaxed. Evan worked really well with our videographer, who wasn't even from his company. We got so many compliments on how well Evan captured our day and how he interacted with everyone. We couldn't believe it.. We got sneak peeks of our wedding photos just a week after the big day, and we got the full album back within a month. And let me tell you, they are absolutely stunning! We can't stop gushing about how amazing our experience with Evan was. He truly captured the magic of our day. -Faith and Max Karels

Men enough!

fortable he made them feel. Evan got all the best shots and was honestly everywhere all the time. I don’t know how he did it, but he did! All of the photos were so beautiful and perfectly captured with great lighting. Evan truly is a gifted photographer! I would recommend him and his team to anyone in need of a talented and truly kind photographer!

rain and helped keep everyone’s spirits high. We truly appreciated how prepared yet easy-going he was even in the face of challenging weather. We would recommend Evan for those reasons alone. But in addition to those, he also took the most beautiful photos of our special day. The photos looked like they came straight out of a fairy tale and they truly captured how we felt. Please give Evan and The Next Best Men a call for your wedding, you will thank yourself later!

ter the ceremony, he was so much fun to take our formal pictures with -- lots of great, positive energy! He also took wonderful candids before the ceremony and at our reception. We sat down last night and went through all the photos and laughed and cried all over again! He definitely captured our special day in a magical way! We HIGHLY recommend hiring The Next Best Men!!!

m day one. We worked with Evan who was professional, helpful, and kind. Communication was fantastic before, after, and during the event, and I even had several family members tell me how impressed they were with our photographer simply by watching him work. Our Sneak Peeks came quickly and were enough to hold us over until we received the rest; around 1,100 photos total which were presented in an organized way that made sorting through them fun and easy. I feel so lucky to have so many photos that I love from our wedding… to feel like the spirit of the day was truly captured. Thank you, Evan, for recording these special moments for me and my husband, and for our family and friends. We will treasure our photos forever!

and he felt like a longtime friend behind the lens. The pictures turned out so well despite the rain that dumped on us. The final pictures are unreal! It was a wonderful experience and we will cherish these photos forever. I definitely recommend The Next Best Men to capture your day. Absolutely fabulous!

f our wedding! Someone said they thought he had skates on at one point because he would run across the venue to get certain photos! 10/10 would recommend. I get so nervous behind the camera but he really made us feel comfortable. Book them now! It’s totally worth it!!

Asheville. He never missed a beat at our wedding and was always running around to get every shot! He got photos of everyone and every moment at the wedding. All of my friends and family couldn't say enough good things about him and the photos turned out amazing!!! He was also very affordable, so please book with them!

ry easy to work with, replies fast and just an amazing team all around! I can’t recommend these two enough! Also, they are priced very reasonably! Can’t thank them enough! We will continue using them for our future endeavors

yyy too many “favorite” photos from our wedding. He asked ahead of time about the people and names and flow of the wedding so that he knew exactly what was going on when and with who— that way, I completely sat back at the wedding and enjoyed, he had his thumb on everything, and because of his SUPER joyful and infectiously positive attitude, having him was not only a delight, but such an ease. Can’t say enough good things. He knew the “feel” and “vibe” of the wedding too and really is an artist, he made it come out perfectly through the photos. He is awesome. Awesome. Awesome. We also had so many guests and a LOT going on at the wedding and also special requests like to get away for a bit during the reception for a sunset shoot a little away from the reception venue and he made everything happen. My husband and I will have these magical photos and memories for the rest of our lives.

l make sure your smiles in all your photos are genuine. Don’t look anywhere else. Hire this guy!

uch a great energy that fit in so well with our guests. The images were absolutely beautiful, he caught so many candid little moments that made both my husband and I tear up looking back through them. He was absolutely the perfect photographer for us and I would recommend his services to anyone!

os that my wife and I will cherish for a lifetime. Truly awesome to work with!

dding and when seeing the photos afterward!

nal photography vendor went out of business and chose not to inform us. Evan was a godsend, he was understanding of our predicament and in the end we were glad it happened because he was incredible! He has terrific energy, even over the phone. He made sure he understood what our hopes and expectations were and he delivered far beyond what we asked for. Our guests kept coming up to us telling us how great our photographer was. So far we’ve seen a few sneak peaks and we are in awe, they are absolutely gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the rest. Thank you Evan! And to you reader, we highly recommend The Next Best Men for your wedding photographer.

fam are photo shy and hate pics of themself, but this crew are all so sweet that you feel relaxed and seem to press "click" at the moment everyone looks their natural best. Can't get over how wonderful the pics are

ier working with people who communicate well, listen, and adapt to what you need. I cannot recommend this company enough. Our photographer, Evan, was fantastic— warm, kind, patient, thorough, and incredibly talented. He somehow managed to wrangle our unruly friends and family into stunning portraits, yet always stayed just at the edge of the celebration without interrupting or taking over. I’m absolutely thrilled with how our photos turned out. These guys are not only pros but also genuine artists. And compared to other photography options we researched, their pricing is super reasonable. HIRE THEM! 11/10

sive. He captured the best day of our lives in the best way possible.. I felt like I was reliving the day looking over the pictures. Not to mention every single person kept saying “you have the best photographer! He is so nice!” All the candid shots warmed my heart.. he did such a good job of telling the story of our wedding through the pictures 🤍 you will absolutely not regret picking The Next Best Man as your photographer. I will recommend Evan to every person I know that’s for sure!

hout our wedding day. We loved the idea of documentary-style photography, so every moment was captured naturally and candidly. We did take several formal, posed photos, but the guys kept it upbeat and fun with their enthusiasm and energy! This made for some awesome natural smiles and laughs in our photos. We loved that they captured so many moments of our family and friends throughout the ceremony and reception as well. These are priceless, as we weren't a part of every interaction, so it's great to see a full snapshot of our day. Couldn't thank them more for being with us for so many hours on our wedding day; the photos tell an incredible story and bring back so many good memories as we look through them. Thank you Evan and Wyatt!!

ne to taking photos on the big day, Evan made us feel so assured and relaxed. His professionalism was apparent in his prompt response to emails/calls, his ability to make all those involved feel comfortable and confident, and his desire to capture our wedding day to the fullest extent. He took photos while doing the limbo, it was so cool and fun! Several of our guests commented on how nice and approachable he was. From portraits to candids, every photo that was given to us is top quality. If you want to have fun, feel totally comfortable, and know that your photos will accurately represent your special day, then I highly recommend that you book the Next Best Men!

e models and we both found hundreds of photos of ourselves that we loved. Evan was even able to do some great crowd control when family photos were getting stressful, and somehow my family made it through without biting each others heads off! Overall I can't recommend his services enough, if you are so lucky as to book Next Best Men you won't be disappointed!

ven had several guests at our wedding ask who are photographer was because they appreciated his energy and professionalism! 10/10 would recommend!!
