about
Your Catholic Wedding Photographer
I'm William
A photographer, storyteller, and father, with a heart for capturing what matters most: love, legacy, and moments that can't be repeated.
Weddings aren't just events to me. They're sacred narratives - filled with subtle glances, tearful prayers, and joyful embraces. Whether I'm documenting a wedding, an heirloom family portrait, or a milestone moment, my goal is always the same: to create timeless imagery that honors the truth and beauty of your story.
Over the years, I've refined an approach that's both artistic and reverent - guiding my couples with care, capturing without intrusion, and delivering work that feels deeply personal.
If you believe photography should be more than beautiful - that it should feel meaningful - I'd be honored to tell your story.
More About Me
Based in Riverside, California- Serving Couples Nationwide
I'm beyond grateful to the Lord for guiding me across the Tiber River and into the fullness of truth. As a member of the Neocatechumenal Way, I walk in faith daily and often celebrate the Eucharist on Saturday evenings - a rhythm of reverence that quietly shapes the way I see and capture love.
While I serve clients across California and beyond, many of my weddings take place on Fridays - though I'm always honored to document Saturday celebrations as well.
Believe it or not, I didn't grow up with a camera in hand. My journey began through music, physical wellness, and eventually... a desire to photograph my children in a more meaningul way. That simple spark - to preserve their beauty with intention - became the calling behind William J Saylor Photography.
Today, it's not just about capturing beautiful moments. It's about honoring the sacred, the candid, and the deeply personal - with artistry, humility, and purpose.
Let's begin the Conversation
photography style
As a Photographer, I combine creative artistry with technical precision to craft high-quality images that are both timeless and emotionally resonant. Every couple, every celebration, and every sacred moment is unique - which is why my approach is deeply personalized.
By collaborating closely with you, I'm able to honor your vision while guiding with care, ensuring the final images reflect not just what your day looked like - but what it felt like.
With passion for storytelling and a trained eye for meaningful detail, my goal is simple: to create heirloom photographs that preserve the beauty, emotion, and spirit of your most unforgettable moments.
Think of me as more than a photographer - I'm your creative partner, a calming presence, and yes, someone with a camera who knows how to bring out your most joyful, natural self.
From our first conversation to the final gallery, I aim to create a space where you can simply be present - where laughter comes easily, nerves fade, and every image reflects the emotion behind the moment.
My approach blends direction with intuition. I'll gently guide you with thoughtful prompts that feel fun, never forced - ensuring you feel confident, connected, and at ease throughout the day.
When it comes to editing, I favor warm tones and cinematic richness - preserving the elegance, love, and sacred atmosphere of your wedding with intention. My posing style is natural and editorial - nothing overly staged, nothing that takes you out of the moment.
If you're grounded in tradition, full of joy, and love to laugh, then we're likely a perfect match.
Let's make timeless memories - together
My Approach
Begin Your Story
Josue & Vanessa
We can't overstate how impressed we are by our wedding photos. We had high expectations for them after seeing their photos on Instagram yet they still surprised us with the artistry and professionalism they displayed. Our wedding went by so fast and I wish we could go back, William was able to capture each moment and it’s details so we could do so. William has so much experience with weddings, he helped us with setting a perfect timeline and so many other aspects of the wedding. William stood out from every photographer we spoke to because he clearly knew what he was doing and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! Hiring William will be the best decision you can make for your wedding.
Jacob & Zoey
My husband and I chose William for our wedding photography at the Basilica in San Juan Capistrano and he is FABULOUS! Every portion of the day was captured perfectly. He's really easy to work with and if you're shy about posing (like me) he helps you along the way and you look like a model! I'd recommend William's Photography 10/10 any day!
Santiago & Martha
He is the best photographer I have had. Our wedding pictures were great quality and awesome shots. I have very great memorable moments of my wedding through his photography. I would totally recommend him if you are ever looking for a professional photographer. He is very attentive and understands what you are looking for.
No two weddings are the same. You are unique and so are your wedding needs.
