Wiley Putnam Photography

en you're in front of the camera - even for camera-shy folks like us. He was extremely flexible and the ultimate hype man! And on top of all this, his photography is stunning. We received so many compliments on his composition, editing, and capturing our true emotions / personality. I wish I could have another wedding just to work with Wiley again. All of our other vendors only had positive things to say about working with Wiley, so do yourself a favor and hire him!!

of coordinator. He heard us out on our vision and delivered more than I could have imagined. My friends absolutely loved him and friend who were already married expressed how jealous they were of our photographer experience. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG!! Wiley books out far in advance so book him immediately!!! Thank you thank you infinity times, thank you!!!

on to make the entire wedding and photography experience as smooth as possible. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, from getting to know us as a couple before the first photo was taken, through the end, and sending us the final product. Wiley was organized, meticulous, and passionate about making sure he got the best photos possible. He absolutely delivered on all counts. We would highly recommend considering Wiley for your wedding.

much more than a photographer to us. When we were having vendor troubles, he graciously stepped in to recommend vendors who ended up being the perfect fit for us. Also, he took the extra time to go through and scout locations with us to ensure we got the looks we were hoping for on our big day. Both my now husband and I are not huge on taking photos, but Wiley made us both feel so comfortable and allowed us to just be ourselves and have fun—and it shows in our photos! They are more than we could’ve ever hoped for. It captures the love, joy, and fun we had at our wedding. We love Wiley so much! If there is one vendor you hire for your wedding to make sure it’s a success, it’s Wiley!

ral through both our engagement session and all of our wedding pictures. He was extremely easy to talk to and immensely helpful with general wedding event questions and advice, demonstrating flexibility and professionalism to ensure that each couple gets exactly what they want from the photos. We can’t recommend Wiley highly enough, he is worth it, and the photos he captures are truly beautiful and will be cherished for a long time!

eat friend. The introductory phone call, coffee date (two or three times?), check-in texts, and engagement shoot were amazing. Somehow, it got better. The timely and helpful constant communication, the reminders to eat, drink, and rest during the wedding day, and somehow turned out 90 photo Sneak Peek in one day? He does not sleep, but he will make sure he does his best so that you feel your best. We encountered issues during our timeline discussions and Wiley was already willing to be flexible, offer his expertise, and be our number one advocate. We ran behind on our timeline because... wedding; however, he heavily supported our decision to have a two hour buffer for the day... and it saved everything. Throughout the wedding, Wiley made sure we were hydrating, eating, resting, checking-in with each other, and managing our social batteries. We will plan to work with him in the future and we will always recommend him for anyone looking. 11/10. Would recommend every time. Thank you for being the best hype man, we deeply appreciate you, Wiley. <3 V&R (Guess who wrote it, we chose the vendors we wanted to talk to!)

phs are always impeccable. He is a master at wrangling larger groups, a positive force on a stressful day, and a genuine pleasure to be around. If you're looking for a photographer: STOP LOOKING. You've found him.

l of our friends moving forward. He has the ability to make everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera and does a great job of capturing authentic moments during the events he works. This is a photographer you dream of having for capturing special moments on special days!

he moments captured from our day. So we went on the hunt for a photographer within the Seattle area who's style we liked. Luckily, Wiley was on the list of Top Seattle Photographers. We absolutely loved his work and reached out for a quote about a year out from our set wedding date. We felt so lucky to have him even at that point. After reserving your date, you can choose different tiers or packages for his photography services. One thing I thought was very professional is that he includes engagement packages for wedding reservations. Wiley emphasizes the importance of feeling like ourselves and showing our true selves in front of the camera, especially on one of the biggest days of our lives. So, he met with us even before our engagement shoot to get to know us, our style, set expectations, and make sure we felt comfortable. Our photos turned out to be so amazing! We knew he would exceed our wishes, come our wedding. Fast forward 6 months, in the midst of the pandemic, Wiley stuck with us and was flexible to changes that had to be made. We had to accommodate a much more intimate wedding than we had originally planned, but it turned out to be perfect in our eyes! He was there from the very beginning of the day until dark as close family and friends were leaving. Wiley was one of the only vendors that was actually with us through all of the changes. His bottom line was to keep us happy, be there for us, and capture every moment of the best day of our lives. You can tell Wiley loves what he does. He shows up with a smile on his face, a positive and can-do attitude, and does his magic! Thank you, Wiley, for making our day so special! We are in love with our photos!

he was capturing each moment but was not intrusive. As a bride i felt there was a great balance between taking photos and enjoying our day. We love Wiley and can’t recommend him enough!

our wants and constraints. The quality of his photos is unmatched - for both our engagement pics and wedding pics, we were absolutely blown away. We highly recommend him! The only constructive criticism I would offer is regarding communication and deadlines. He missed our rehearsal dinner completely - I had bought a red dress specifically for it so it would pop against all the other photos in white. If we would have known he wouldn’t be there, we could have had others take photos but were expecting him. We also were informed of who the second shooter was about a week before the wedding. For a type A planner like me, I prefer changes to not happen at the 11th hour. In addition, we had to reach out several times about our photos. He replied with a date he would get us photos back by. More than a month later, I reached out again having to ask for an update. While I don’t want to rush the editing process, if you tell me a date, it is in my head and on my calendar. An update would have gone a long way. With that said, communication and deadlines are a small price to pay when you see the finished product. Looking forward to working with Wiley again in the future.

ided not to meet with any others. Wiley is an amazingly awesome guy and does a great job working with you to make you feel comfortable and match your personalities to the photoshoots. We did both our engagement session at Discovery Park in Seattle and our wedding in Leavenworth with Wiley. Throughout it all, Wiley was on-point, capturing fantastic photos that come out looking natural and not over-photo-shopped with a ‘glossy’ feel. He brought an amazing assistant to our wedding as well, and she was lovely to work with. Wiley was loved by friends and family alike while working, and came to hang with us as a friend for the after-party. We also received TONS of positive comments from friends and family who interacted with Wiley at the wedding. We can’t say enough nice things about Wiley as a guy and don’t want to understate how good his photography and photos come out, they are truly wonderful. Wiley, we’re happy to have met you and become friends during this process, thanks for capturing all the beautiful moments of our day!

ot ideas and giving lots of advice - so by the time our wedding came around he seemed more like just our (talented and professional) friend. At the wedding he was working non-stop, always seemed to be in the right place for a picture but never in the way. He directed everyone for pictures really gracefully and had a great eye for where to shoot. Right after our reception we went to the foothills and had a blast doing a photoshoot with him! His photos have a consistent style without being too trendy, and he is flexible about making any black/white when appropriate or upon request. It took a while to get our pictures (he is a busy man and takes a LOT of photos) but we didn't rush him and it wasn't a big deal. And, maybe most importantly(?), we found it really easy to see, download, print, etc. our photos. I highly recommend Wiley if you're looking for someone who is super skilled, professional and personable.

immediately felt comfortable with Wiley. He is fun and personable and it felt like we were hanging out with a long lost friend. For our wedding day, we have a 9 mile round trip hike into the mountains and Wiley was so excited which made us even more excited! My husband and I aren't very socially active and can be a little awkward and shy when the camera is pointed as us. Wiley helped us stay at ease and our photos are absolutely stunning! We cannot wait for our full album.

s that made it so Wiley wasn't able to be at the wedding. That did not stop Wiley from helping us find another phenomenal photographer and making sure there was not a hitch at all in our wedding. This was something that he went above and beyond to do which we are so appreciative of. There is much more than just taking wedding day pictures for the photographer to do and Wiley helped us through all if that including ideas on what shots to take as a group, the timeline on when to take pictures and just general tips on what will look best the day of. So while Wiley did not shoot our wedding we wanted to let everyone know that he is amazing to work with and is such a professional in his work.

y was so supportive and encouraging of all of us and the pictures that we did get to see tonight we're absolutely beautiful! We are looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful photography and all of those perfect little moments that he captures.

wishes several months in advance of the wedding, as well as, met us for coffee a few days prior to the wedding. Wiley is very personable and energetic making it so easy to relax in front of the camera! His images are absolutely beautiful and showcase the natural beauty of the scenery and subject matter with minimal touch-up. Wiley photographed our wedding and was with us during every step; from the time we were getting ready, to the ceremony, and to the reception. He ensured that he captured every moment with both candids and formal family photos. We had several guests comment on Wiley's professionalism and work ethic throughout our event. Wiley also allows his couples to have the rights to the images which many photographers are reluctant to do. We cannot say enough positive things about Wiley and would absolutely recommend him to any one.

our wedding because of his personal touch during out engagement photo shoot. His goal for our engagement shoot was to disappear into the background, so that my husband and I could relax and have photos that candidly show our love for each other. Boy was he successful! We LOVE our engagement photos, and have received so many compliments on them. Our guests were excited to meet Wiley at the wedding, and kept asking us if we were using the same photographer, because of the work he did on our engagement photos. So, we hired Wiley for the wedding. He was hands down my favorite vendor to work with! He answered my questions leading up to the wedding promptly, and made sure we had a one-on-one meeting before the wedding so that he could get an idea of the schedule, layout, and what photos we absolutely had to get. He took photos of our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. On our wedding day, he spent the ENTIRE day with us. There was no time limit and no stress about getting one last photo before he left (we left before he did!). One amazing thing I can say about Wiley: I have absolutely no idea where he was standing during the ceremony. He was so quiet and inconspicuous that I forgot he was even there! After the ceremony, he worked his butt off in the hot sun to make sure we got all the posed portraits we wanted. During the reception, I, again, have no idea where he was because he was so quiet! The morning after our wedding he sent us six edited photos, and they are beautiful! I can't wait to see the rest! I highly recommend working with Wiley. He will make you laugh, relax, fell absolutely confident in yourself, and give you phenomenal photos to remember you big day.
