William Adwin Photograph

hroughout the whole planning process. He responded to questions in a swift manner. We could not be happier with how beautiful our photos came out! He went above and beyond our expectations and I would highly recommend PhotoSynthesis Photography to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding!

and makes the whole process easy and stress free! He is a lot of fun to work with and is up for any challenge including hiking two miles through waterfalls to capture the perfect moment! I would highly recommend Bills Stank with Photosynthesis Photography to anyone!

ally been amazed how our wedding pictures turned out. Bill was very quick to respond to any questions we had, and made the process so easy for us. His talent and artistic eye go above and beyond! Nowadays, we try to think of other reason for future photography sessions with Bill.

ure what made us 'us'. He embraced all our quirky ideas and helped give us queues to make us feel more natural in front of the camera. The pictures turned out amazing. He also thinks about the little things and plans ahead (like getting the exact names we want in each specific picture) to make sure we don't need to remember the small things on the big day, or feel bad for wanting one person in the picture vs another. 10/10 recommend him. Worth every penny

and was flexible when we needed it. Day of, he and his assistant were the best and got some great shots. And the photos themselves are absolutely gorgeous, it’s hard to pick favorites because they are all so good!

a couple, so he can best capture your personalities and unique love for one another. He’s personable, professional, and one of the kindest people in the wedding industry. He will make recommendations and suggestions to best suite your needs, but will NEVER make you feel pressured to do anything. He will work with your schedule, your budget, etc. to ensure your happiness. I don’t know any other photographer that would put so much love and care into his clients. And on top of all of these admirable qualities, HE IS SO TALENTED! Both our engagement album and wedding album are FLAWLESS! He captured us perfectly and created a comfortable, fun environment through it all. We never felt like the camera got in the way of us just having a great time with each other. Our venue, The Glasbern, even used one of our wedding photos for their advertisement in Philly Magazine for their December issue. That’s how good Bill is… he made us look magazine worthy haha If all of this wasn’t convincing enough for you to hire Bill, he is also an expert under time constraints and pressure. We were over an hour behind schedule on our wedding day in the morning (not because of Bill) and he was totally calm the entire time. He would gently remind us of the time without seeming panicked or pushy and would ask us in the moment what pictures were priority to be sure to capture those. He made quick adjustments to the schedule day-of and in the moment to ensure we stayed on track the rest of the day. He made us feel reassured while still executing his job skillfully. And somehow at the end of the day, we pretty much got all the photos we wanted even though we were so far behind! I have no idea how he did it! This man is a magician! I’ll conclude with one last rave about Bill. Unfortunately, Bill had a bit of a health scare toward the end of our wedding day. Although I’m sure he was scared, he didn’t make a scene or seem panicked. He calmly and professionally pulled us aside, explained to us the situation and asked if we were comfortable with his assistant finishing the night without him. Of course we said yes and told him his health came first, but we were so impressed with the way he handled the situation! Not to mention his assistant (Joe I believe was his name) handled the rest of the night like a pro! Bill will never let you down and will always make sure you are taken care of. He and assistants are skillful, trustworthy, and will not leave you disappointed even in the most unexpected situations. HIRE BILL FOR YOUR DREAM WEDDING!

aptured by the right person and at the right time. My husband and I found Bill from PhotoSynthesis Photography on a list of preferred vendors from our wedding venue. A quick call with Bill and we were hooked. Bill is an exceptional human who is so charismatic and such a pleasure to work with. His calm demeanor and professionalism are just some of the traits that make Bill so amazing. After a ballsy engagement photoshoot next to a frozen waterfall, we saw a glimpse of what Bill could do with a camera and some lighting. We knew that our wedding photos were going to be great, we just were not expecting them to exceed all our expectations! They came out incredible! Unlike most photographers who try and awkwardly pose their subjects, Bill's approach is a bit different. He will guide you ever so slightly and capture a genuine moment that develops to tell a story. We opted not to book a videographer and I am glad we did not because I can look at each one of Bill's photos and feel like I am reliving all the moments of our wedding, even the moments I was not part of. Taking it one step further, Bill is a professional and gained our trust immediately. I actually let Bill drive off with an expensive wedding gift for my husband. After he left it finally hit me that Bill had already gotten paid, and I never thought twice about entrusting the gift to him to take to the venue. He did exactly as he said he would and cares so deeply for all of his customers. I truly feel like I have known Bill for years. We cannot thank him and his assistant(s) enough for going above and beyond with our photos and for being the most authentic people. Please book him you will not regret it.

beautiful day our wedding was. Bill took his time to get to know us as a couple. I even called him a few weeks before the wedding to discuss my nerves about having my picture taken and other insecurities I had. Bill is a pro, though and he knew just how to alleviate my fears and deliver photos I loved. Our day was so perfect and Bill captured that. I would recommend him to anyone!

particularly brisk day (my fault but I digress) and this wonderfully kind man leant me his own gloves to keep me warm. Not only that, but he is so incredibly dedicated to his work that he was willing to power through both the cold and the heat to take amazing photos of our engagement and wedding. This man even went straight to the ground in his suit to get a good shot of my husband and I! And don't get me started on those pictures. Oh man, our family was crying all over again with how beautiful they came out. Bill truly did an amazing job and I cannot recommend him enough. If you're looking for someone to not only be your shadow and get all the best shots at your wedding but also be proactive enough to make suggestions ("sunset photo, oh hey there's fireworks let's pose, what about something by this pond?") then Bill is definitely the man you're looking for!

ible passion for photography, has outstanding professionalism and is so, so much fun during the process. One of the best parts of the day was him creating a comfortable atmosphere during a hectic wedding day and really incorporating so much fun. The execution of his work is hands down amazing. The pictures we have are completely beautiful and perfect. From the bottom of our happy hearts, thank you so much for being a part of our day and for the exquisite photos that will last a lifetime.

nd thought all of the work on his website was amazing. It was clear from the very first time we met Bill, however, that he isn't just an amazing artist but also an amazing human! He really took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple to understand our vision for the day and our priorities. He is so organized and efficient that he helped establish a timeline for the day. He took on the stress of moving everyone along so that we didn't have to worry about it at all. He had a great combination of structured approach to certain photos (making sure all the family photos were captured) but also was really great at taking the on-the-fly great shots. He did a composite photo of our bridal party that literally looks like a movie poster. I can't thank Bill enough for what he was able to give us from that day and look forward to using him for family photos in years to come.

e for the photography schedule for the day of the wedding and did an excellent job sticking to it, which helped to make our day run smoothly. He even made some jokes along the way which made us laugh and resulted in some nice shots. He was up to any challenge that we threw at him, including taking photos of us with our dogs for our engagement shoot as well as managing to get all of our family photos done before our wedding ceremony so that we could spend more time mingling with guests at the reception. He really went above and beyond in every way, and I would highly recommend Bill to take photos for any event.

ssional, easy to communicate and work with, and does absolutely amazing work! Family and friends raved about working with Bill, the day of the wedding, and the pictures we have shared. I am so grateful Bill was apart of our day!

a nice composition of the overall photo. He is very organized and great at handling crowds for family photos. During the ceremony and reception he is professional and goes unnoticed. Packages are competitive to others in the Lehigh Valley area, but there are many qualities that make him stand out. He is very responsive to questions, a great listener to what the couple has planned, and he is timely with the agreed upon events. He was also flexible when hair and makeup ran late, and when people were stuck in traffic between events. Our wedding album sneak peek was ready 3 days after our wedding (sooner with other packages he has) and we got our full album about 6 weeks following our wedding. Something that is appreciated with Photosynthesis is that you get all of your photos in color and black and white, and they are provided to the couple on an organized webpage that is easy to navigate and order prints. The prints are high quality and delivered quickly! Bill was great to work with and the photos are breathtaking, I highly recommend Bill for any event!

cate with. He was always prompt to reply to our endless waves of questions, and we never got the sense it was anything but a pleasure for him to help us get all the details right. Bill also took care of the entire pre-ceremony photography timeline based on our requests; all we had to do was ensure we were there on time, and Bill & James took care of the rest. Bill's approachable and charming disposition does not take away from his sense of action; he was somehow able to politely and firmly coax along our very rowdy and scattered family members for the family portraits, ensuring the timeline wasn't compromised and our ceremony could begin on time, quickly calming our worries and allowing us to live "in the moment". That's to say nothing about his craft; the sheer number of stunning photo opportunities he constructed all while somehow seemingly being in three different places at any given time capturing the fleeting, precious candid moments that would otherwise have been lost to time was nothing short of remarkable. I can assure you that Bill's time and expertise is worth every dollar, if you're looking for one of the best photographers in the Philadelphia area, you've found them.

d and extremely professional. I definitely recommend Bill for your wedding!

my daughter and her fiancee was exceptional. No detail was missed, from choosing the background setting, light filtering and framing of the photo to getting natural smiles and being in the perfect location to freeze time with that special moment. Bride, Groom, parents, relatives, guests; everyone looks fantastic! I've seen a lot of wedding pictures, attended a lot of other weddings in my life and you know when you've watched the best of the best in action. PhotoSynthesis deserves "10" Stars!

in front of a camera. We highly highly recommend using him for any photography needs! We used him for our engagement photos and our wedding! 10/10!!

te professional and was absolutely the perfect choice to make our wedding day so special. We would choose Bill again in a heart beat. Bill established our trust during our “compatibility call” right from the start, and because of this, there was an instant and meaningful connection built. Bill was also incredibly responsive - and proactive - in all communication throughout all of wedding planning. Bill captured both the big and small moments and elements of our day - and he added his creative twist to all of it. He works wonder with light and shadows, and he knows exactly the right positioning to create a spectacular image. We have received more compliments than we can count on how beautiful our pictures were for both our engagement session and our wedding. Before Bill even attempted to take a single photo, he went above and beyond his call of duty. He took time (a good amount of it!) to get to know us, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. He asked about what we loved about each other, how we wanted others to see our love in pictures and things we absolutely wanted and those we wanted to avoid. And he listened. He was also so patient and understanding in rescheduling our engagement photos several times due to weather. We received so many compliments on the quality and essence of our engagement photos, and this was but a mini preview of how he captured our wedding day photos. On the day of, Bill had already asked numerous times what additional help he could be to ensure the day went smoothly (and he went on his own time to scope out the venue and grounds ahead of our wedding day too!). He also kept the wedding party on schedule and ensured that all of our pictures were checked off of the list. He was definitely my sidekick for the day, and his humor made him a favorite of all. Our pictures captured the emotion we wanted to remember for a lifetime - love, happiness, joy - and we couldn’t have been more pleased! We would 10000% recommend Bill as not only an extremely talented photographer but also a good human. We intend to use him for any of our family shoots moving forward - he was by far our favorite wedding partner - no one else compared! Thank you for making our wedding live on in photographs for generations to come and for absolutely everything, Bill!

exceed our expectations throughout the entire process. Our engagement shoot was one of the most fun experiences we have ever had -- all because of Bill. Bill scouted locations for us, made us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera, and worked very hard to capture some incredible shots. Everyone we show our engagement photos to is in complete awe. We can't wait for our wedding day next month with Bill and his team!

of questions about us, our home, and our dog. He wanted to get to know us as a real couple not just another client. Besides being an awesome guy he is truly a great photographer & we’re in love with our wedding photos! Thanks again Bill!

nd not only want fantastic photos but a wonderful experience, then look no further!

. On our wedding day, we were exhausted and just wanted to spend time with each other (or as Bill likes to say "canoodle"). Even though we shortened our photo list on the fly, he was able to take a ton of gorgeous pictures spanning three separate locations he had never been to before. You can give Bill a list of photos you want and he'll take all of them beautifully, but you can trust he has great suggestions and an eye for moments you'll want to remember. Everything from intimate couple shots and family action shots to meaningful detail shots. His assistants are very nice and the engagement shoot is a blast, too. Thank you for everything, Bill! We hope to find something else we can invite you to!

really goes above and beyond for his clients. Perfect example, my dad got admitted to the hospital the night before my wedding. I asked Bill to take a few photos of me and my dad at the hospital.. and without hesitation he said absolutely! I would totally recommend Bill for anyone looking for a photographer!

o shooting, which is so important. Dealing with the issues of the pandemic, and multiple cancellations for the photo engagement session due to the weather in the summer, it finally occurred. The photos at Longwood Gardens were fabulous! After, Lauren and CJ had several calls with Bill to plan out their required photos and timeline. Bill showed up on time on wedding day and easily managed all the photo details occurring that morning. He totally took the flower girl out of her element and had her hamming it up by the time the bride got dressed! So many great photos of the bride and groom prior to the ceremony. As wedding day was the only day that week with sun, Bill captured many special moments outdoors beginning with Dad and daughter seeing each other for the first time, bride and groom out in nature in their entrance to the estate grounds for the reception, and the many fabulous sunset photos taken prior to cocktail hour. They are amazing! Bill was able to capture all the beautiful moments during the reception also, including Dad and daughter breakout as well as bridal party group dance. But most of all he captured the truly candid moments of the evening, which was most important to Lauren and CJ. The quality of photography is amazing!! Bill’s creative eye has truly shown through our photos. We would highly recommend Bill and his assistant for your wedding. They are totally professional and most of all just very nice individuals to work with. We can guarantee you will not be disappointed! Great choice.

it was my turn to get married, I knew he had to be the photographer. He not only takes phenomenal pictures but also is a genuinely kind and caring person. He takes the time to get to know you and make a connection which was enjoyable and also put me at ease on the wedding day. Bill was extremely responsive, helpful and informative throughout the entire wedding process. He made sure to get every picture we wanted on the wedding day and at the engagement shoot. His attention to detail is something to be admired. I cannot wait to see the finished product. I know all of the pictures will be stunning because of Bill’s expertise. I would highly recommend Bill of Photosynthesis Photography to absolutely everyone. Thank you Bill!

t session and made it so special. He is responsible, reliable, talented and SO much fun. The photos: I can’t even begin to explain how happy we are with our wedding and engagement photos. They are vibrant, so detailed, and just amazing. Bill did a great job at capturing every moment of our special day. He was so patient and really kept things chill with no stress that day. We highly recommend Bill, he is a very talented photographer and worth every penny. We will have those pictures for a lifetime!

his business name PhotoSynthesis intriguing due to our love for science. Being further away from Allentown (about 1.5 hours), we had not heard of anyone nearby who did business with him. We decided to message him, and he arranged his schedule nearly immediately to drive to Pottsville to meet and get to know us personally. From that very moment, we knew that Bill would not only be our photographer, but our new friend. We turned to him for advice in planning our big day because his experience speaks for itself. His policy of “the day is yours” with both the engagement session and wedding day was amazing - you never feel rushed and he goes above and beyond to capture moments that even we missed throughout the day. We cannot imagine our day without him, and now we have memories not only for us, but moments he caught for all of our family and friends. We love you Bill Stank. Thank you for being you!

ill went above and beyond what we expected. From patiently navigating through the families on wedding day, to remembering the little things that were important to capture for us, he took the time to get to know us as a couple. I was so grateful for the time he took to call/email us just to check in and ensure we were on the same page leading up to wedding day. That meant a lot because we lived 2 states away. The pictures we received after our engagement session and wedding day were AMAZING, and I never knew we could look so good! We're so happy a few people recommended Bill to us for our wedding - we needed him and we will be forever grateful to have spent our special day with him capturing the wonderful memories! Sarah and Sanjeev

ifies the quality and command Bill wields within his craft. He is the utmost professional, yet also incredibly folksy and welcoming to be around. Beyond his eye, he is also all ears and thought with assisting you in the development of your engagement session, wedding day and anything in-between. His expertise and field experience are striking. With Bill, you never feel left behind or second-hand. Our relationship was fantastic and we'd hope to always consider Bill a friend - someone we can call up anytime in the future for other occasions or even just a friendly conversation and coffee or Weyerbacher beer.

want. He is creative and passionate about his work. The photos we got from our wedding are beyond incredible! I never could have imagined some of the pictures we have. They are unique and colorful and staged just right. He makes a photo shoot super fun and not stressful at all!! Thank you Bill!!

ur rock and was able to put our nerves at ease. Bill made us feel as if we had known him for years. He took the time to get to know us and helped us define our vision for our wedding, which was celebrated on May 11, 2019. Bill became an invaluable member of our team, but more importantly, he became our friend. Everything Bill does is above and beyond expectations. Whenever we contacted him about a question, which we had many, he responded back almost immediately. Honestly, Bill puts all he has into his great passion for photography and making couple’s dreams come true. On game day, he and his second photographer, Ken, were AMAZING! They adapted to all the different personalities in the wedding party, made the whole experience extra fun, and brought out the absolute best in everyone. Everything ran so smooth and seamlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and we owe it all to the impeccable talent of Photosynthesis.

n thrilled to have him shoot our engagement photos and our wedding. The engagement shoot made us laugh until we cried, and the wedding made us cry (happy tears!) until we laughed. The photos were everything we ever hoped for and more and I would recommend him to anyone at anytime!

y is his work beautiful, but he is also very personable and professional. He was well organized, listened to us, and took the time to get to know us on a personal level. It was clear he loves his work and does everything he can to ensure his clients are satisfied.

ural! The pictures are just stunning and we will cherish them forever! Truly a talented photographer who we will recommend to everyone!

r wedding day beautifully. He is professional, friendly, attentive to detail, and puts the couple's needs first. We are so in love with our wedding photographs and cannot thank Bill and his second shooter, Steve enough. They truly captured our love story and every beautiful moment of our special day.

bout the beautiful pictures he’s taken for us, capturing not only our engagement session, but also our wedding. I would highly recommend Bill as a wedding photographer. He really listens well and offers loads of wedding advice outside of photography. My husband and I are so thankful we were able to meet such an awesome photographer!

hotographer was one of the most important choices in the wedding planning process. When we met with Bill we instantly knew he was the one. From our first meeting he put our minds as ease and helped us to make wedding planning fun. He answered all of our one million questions and calmed my nerves throughout the process. Its been two weeks since our wedding and every single day I have had someone tell me how absolutely beautiful our wedding photos are - many have said they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen :) Bill truly captured every special moment and feeling of our day and looking at our photos allows us to keep reliving the best day of our lives! Bill planned the timeline for our day and kept everything moving, we didn't have to worry about a thing. His professionalism, attention to detail and genuine love for what he does is obvious. Five stars isn't enough he deserves ten! After walking us through our engagement and wedding photos Bill is more than just a photographer to us, he's now a friend. He better never move away because he's now the family photographer for life!!!!

ted due date) and with that, wedding planing came to a halt but Bill made is so easy for us - making suggestions, adjusting to our availability, it was just an overall stress free experience with him.His level of professionalism was just above and beyond. He also took some time to get to know us which helped and it transcended on the pictures he took. I just feel that he understood us as a couple and made the pictures he took really special. The pictures he took were just AMAZING! There were no awkward moments where we had to pose or do whatever, everything was just natural flowing and I feel that this captured the very essence of our special day. Everyone in our family really loved the pictures, our friends were giving all beautiful feedback on the photos... WE JUST LOVE THEM!

ry and personality was captured in every single photo. He does anything in his power to take away from the stress of the day - and it works. His talent shows in his work, and trust me he doesn't just show up with a camera - he comes prepared. In the end, you wind up with amazing memories of the most special day of your life, all captured on camera - and I will forever recommend him to anyone.

andid shots at our engagement party afterward. The engagement photos were gorgeous. He has an eye for using whatever is around to create a wonderful image - like asking a group of kids with balloons to hold them up around us for a whimsical twirling scene in front of an old theatre. Amazing. Bill also took the last photos of my father, who passed away a month after our engagement party, which I will cherish forever. Our wedding was June 1st in the Poconos. Bill and his assistant captured our day beautifully. From our first look to the ceremony, reception details, dancing, and shots of our friends and family (and our dog!). We are sincerely grateful for his ability to capture so many joyous moments in time. And ladies - don’t even worry about rain on your wedding day! Bill took the most amazing outdoor rain photos where every drop is captured in dramatic detail and they are stunning. I could go on and on - his attention to detail is impeccable, his creativity and thought process is genius, excellent communication throughout the whole process, extremely patient and easy to work with, superb time management. He hand-delivered our final photos and we live MILES away from him! Incredible. Lastly, I feel like we’ve gained a friend. We will have Bill photograph any and all of our life events if he’s available. Look no further than Bill Stank and Photosynthesis Photography. Highly recommend.

by the many factors that had to be taken into consideration. Upon meeting with Bill, however, we were instantly at ease. Our goal was to find a photographer that would get to know us, capture our story, and exhibit our love through their work. There was no doubt that Bill with PhotoSynthesis Photography was the right choice. Bill became more than just a guy with a camera; he became part of our wedding planning process. From our engagement photo shoot to the wedding day, Bill walked us through every step, was extremely professional, and helped to make the journey a fun one. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would be honored to do so as our experience has been exceptional. We HIGHLY recommend PhotoSynthesis Photography to anyone who has a love story waiting to be told through the magic of photos.

ne who you're going to connect with on more than simply a vendor/client level. Bill from Photosynthesis Photography was the very first photographer we met with, and we instantly knew he'd be our choice. His outstanding capabilities aside, Bill's warm, personable demeanor had us sold from the very beginning. Bill's abilities shine the most on your wedding day. His professionalism and friendly approach will have your wedding party completely comfortable, and fully at ease throughout the day. In addition to our engagement and wedding shoots, we've had the pleasure of doing a few fun Christmas card sessions with Bill. We love his style of photography and his playful use of light, as well as his never ending creativity and ability to adapt to any location. Along the way, we didn't only hire a photographer, but we made a good friend in Bill. We couldn't possibly recommend anyone more highly.
