- Echard, Ryan and I wanted to thank you for capturing such wonderful moments at our wedding. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. Your talent has given us the opportunity to relive our special day every time we look at our pictures. Your ability to capture so many different feelings and emotions are quite evident. The creativity and attention to detail that your photographs exude is by far the best I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing your special gift with us on our special day. Gratefully yours, Margot & Ryan
- wow! margot and ryan, you have quite the following! thanks to all for stopping by. and, to ryan and margot, thanks so so much for letting document your day. though we were dogged by the rain we did manage to stitch together something out of it. and, a special shout out to margot for handling getting mud on her gown in order to get a few photos outside.
- Echard, The pictures are AMAZING!! You were able to capture such emotion in so many of the shots. The look on Ryan's face as he is looking up at the sky!!! No words needed. Thanks so much for making their day so special.
- Thanks Brenda, I really loved working with Ryan and Margot. What a day that was! The photos don't really do justice to how much it rained that day. I'm so so glad we go to outside for a little while.
From Max and Emily
Often times, when it comes to judging the performance of a photographer, all you need to see is the product to tell if he or she is worth their salt. By that standard, Echard is certainly at the top of his class. The photos he returned to us were exactly what we had hoped for. But beyond that, there’s an intangible element that can’t be conveyed by the pictures alone: how he works. At the reception, never for a moment did I see him standing in one place. My friends complimented me on hiring a ninja to take all the pictures, because you’d never see him coming, then in a flash- he was gone. This style of his produced some of the most genuine, real-life, and interesting photographs I’ve ever seen. I’ve been to weddings where these bossy, obtrusive photogs ask people to stop what they’re doing and smile at the camera. What good do these do? Anybody can smile, even if they’re having a miserable time. Echard’s photojournalistic approach truly captured the moment for us, which was one of the best parties either of us had ever been a part of. And these are magazine quality photos, which provide a level of realism that I know my wife and I will be thankful for all the years of our marriage. I’m sure there are myriad other photographers out there using the same equipment and offering the same results, but we are so happy we went with Echard Wheeler, and anyone would do well for themselves to do the same.

thank you so much for such a thoughtful testimonial. have a happy holidays!!
