HEY HEY! My name is Wesley! Making people smile is not only my passion, but it's my job! I love seeing a smile so much. I often think I'm a comedian, but when I can capture that emotion, that true sense of freedom, and show it to the person or people whose it belongs, I feel genuinely fulfilled.

I love the heck out of being a photographer, my favorite part of the job is getting to meet new and amazing people, and getting the honor to share their stories!

As a photographer, it's my job to be your guide, your personal journalist, but most importantly, someone who can make you laugh over just about anything, no matter how small!

My purpose is to create memories that will last a lifetime, and when you look back at your photos, they will put a smile on your face and bring you right back to the moment. I want you to know I am here for you every step of the way and know how chaotic life is, so if there is anything I can do to help with the process, I want to do it!

Please don't hesitate to send me a quick email with any questions you have!

Best, Wes

    We really enjoyed working with Wesley! He did an incredible job capturing our elopement photos at Glacier Point in Yosemite. From start to finish the process to book, shoot, and receive our photos was entirely seamless. He is extremely responsive, knowledgeable about locations/permitting, and has tons of great energy. We had a blast hanging out for our sunrise elopement and are elated with the photos and gifs he captured. We would highly recommend Wesley!!

    Wesley was the perfect choice for my surprise proposal at Glacier Point in Yosemite. He was very prompt, professional, and was able to make recommendations to me on the location to get the perfect shot. I highly recommend Wesley Harden as your photographer 10/10!

    Wesley was so professional and completely down to earth, such a likable person! He really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted and always made sure we were comfortable! Our wedding had so many unexpected hiccups with the weather and the wedding party running late but Wesley made the best of everything and created the most beautiful pictures! We can’t wait to use Wesley's services again!

    My husband and I got married in early 2020, and Wesley did a phenomenal job taking our wedding photos. Better than I could’ve hoped for! 😊 He captured moments that I didn’t see on the big day since we were so busy! Not only is Wesley an awesome photographer, but he’s also such a lovely person and makes you feel super comfortable! Wesley is super friendly and easy to work with! 😁 I definitely recommend Wesley, for any occasion/photo session!🤍🤍

    My significant other and I were on the hunt to find an amazing photographer in the Yosemite area for an engagement shoot. We are from the LA area and when we found Wesley, he totally fit the bill. He has a great eye for details, made the day fun, and is so sweet and funny! Wesley really took the time to make sure that he got the best shots and made us feel so comfortable taking photos, especially since we never had the experience. We love our photos and will treasure them forever! Thank you Wesley!

    Wesley is energetic but brought calm professionalism to our wedding and reception. He went above and beyond to accommodate our individual needs. He went with the flow but was also able to direct us when we didn't know how to direct ourselves! I would recommend him to anyone for their photography needs! Also, his photos are amazing!

    We had a beyond excellent experience from our first interaction to delivering the most incredible photos. Wesley was equally as excited as us to do our engagement pictures. He planned ahead, was an EXCELLENT communicator, and took an entire day to make our experience the best possible. I had an idea of what I wanted the pictures to look like, but when I saw the final product, I was blown away! Everyone who has seen our engagement pictures claim that they are the BEST pictures they have ever seen, and I couldn't agree more. My Finance had never been to Yosemite, so Wesley went out of his way to show him around and accommodated our puppy, who came along for the shoot. He is not only a great photographer but an amazing human. We were thrilled to work with him, and you will too!
