Heathwood Photography

We had a very good experience with Heathwood Photography. Our photographer, William, was very personable and helped us get the photos that captured our special day. Great customer service and a competitive price too. Two thumbs up and five stars.

My wife and I have used Heathwood Photography multiple times out in California during our annual 4^th of July Family Vacation.
Bill has done a fantastic job with both our portrait photos and candid photos during this annual event. Bill does a outstanding job in capturing the memories of a lifetime!
We look forward to booking him in the future for other events.
I would highly recommend his services he has been a pleasure to work with!

We used Bill as our wedding photographer in November 2012. It was a mere two weeks after the horrific storm, and even though everyone in the tri-​state area was personally affected in some way, Bill made the hour+ trip to our location (and was early).
My husband and I wanted 90% photo journalism style pictures, rather than the majority being posed and staged. Bill delivered. Our pictures are awesome and totally captured the day. I usually hate the way I look in candid photos, but somehow Bill managed to find the right angles to flatter.
I would recommend Bill and his services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He listened to what we wanted and gave it to us. If you have a specific theme or concept you are going for, I urge to you have a detailed conversation with him so that he can help create your perfect day (so you can recreate that feeling for years to come through photographs). You won’t be disappointed!

We have had several family shootings done by Heathwood Photography and each time we are blown away. Always so great at capturing moments of us and our kids, which can be difficult! I would recommend him for any occasion, and we always seize the opportunity to get some family shots whenever he is out in California!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! My wife and I were impressed with William and his company, Heathwood Photography. We were insistent on doing the «first look» and many of the wedding party photos before our ceremony, so we could enjoy the cocktail hour with our guests. Bill was great in working us in creating a realistic schedule to do so, all the while still keeping the moment extra special. Many of our guests noted how professional and «nice» Bill and his assistant were. Bill knew how to blend in, and the final product proved that. He was able to catch some candid moments, and overall, his pictures document the full day perfectly! Lastly, the proofs came in a timely manner, and our friends and family were able to enjoy the digital album within a few weeks. Bravo, to Bill and Heathwood!

I couldn’t be happier with Bill from Heathwood Photography! He came highly recommended from a friend that had used their company– and when dealing with the service industry I always like to go through someone that is referred to me rather than google-​ing a new person. Bill was incredibly patient with all of our guests and great at creating the perfect shot and knowing what would photograph well. He and his assistant were easy to work with during and after the ceremony. They were easy to get a hold of with questions and quick to respond. Happy to use them again and would definitely recommend them for any event.

I’ve heard horror stories of wedding photographers and companies going out of business and couples never receiving their photos. Heathwood Photography was referred to us by a friend as a company we can rely on, which is why we went with them.
We used Heathwood for our engagement photos and our wedding. In the end, we were quite pleased with the quality and service provided. Bill is an excellent photographer and his assistant was quite professional as well. If we ever had any questions or concerns, there was an immediate reply. We were never left hanging which I heard can happen with other photography companies.
I highly recommend Heathwood and my wife and I plan on using Bill’s services again for our baby naming ceremony.

Our experience at Heathwood was so amazing. We took family portraits on our 5^th wedding anniversary and everything was great. The way the head photographer (William) worked with our two children and the way he was so adamant about capturing us as a family really impressed us. I would definitely recommend Heathwood to families as well as any creative types like bands and/​or artists. William is for sure an artist and some of the stories he told the kids about back when pictures were developed on film not using a computer were very insightful and interesting for them. If you need pictures but want a real experience with a photographic artist Heathwood is the place.

We recently had a photo session with Bill. He was amazing! Had a great experience on every aspect. The pictures were all great. I have a 3yr old son and a 1yr old son so it is almost impossible for anyone to get great pictures. However, Bill accomplished this with no problem!!! More than anything he focused on having a great time and I didn’t feel pressured or stressed whatsoever! He captured my kids on-​the-​go and was very energetic. He delivered the photos on time as he originally promised (2 wks). We were really happy with Bill and would definitely recommend him and work with him again!

I had a very disappointing experience with Heathwood Photography, and William Michael (the owner). It was a reminder of why you can’t trust any service provider.
I hired William Michael of Heathwood Photography for an event and we signed a contract. He requested that his fee be paid in full before the event, which I did. Everything went on smoothly during the event and I thought that the relatively high price he charged was paying off with good quality and service. That was until the date I was due to receive the photos.
The contract stated that I was to receive the photos within 8 weeks. This seemed like a long period of time but I was assured that it was the maximum amount of time, that it usually takes less time, and that it was in order to allow the highest quality of work done on the photos. To make a long story short, when the due date arrived I did not receive the photos. When I contacted William, he told me the photos were not ready and kept putting me off with vague timelines. This went on for close to a month. When I mentioned the contract stated 8 weeks William was unimpressed and just flat out told me it would take longer.
Only when I started to suspect I was scammed and start looking into lawyers did I finally get the photos, close to 3 months after the event. Before the event, he showed me various album options I could get my photos in, but when I asked about albums I did not get a response. I decided to cut my loses and get one elsewhere.
In summary, William Michael comes through as a very honest and reliable individual but unfortunately that is not the case. He did not respect our contract and caused me lots of stress and aggravation. I would strongly discourage anyone from using his services.
