Mike took my daughters Senior pictures and they are absolutely amazing! He is very talented.

My family was vacationing in San Diego with all of our extended family, and we decided last-minute to try to find a professional photographer to capture all of us together in the same spot. Michael responded to my initial request within an hour and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He's very easy-going and went along with any requests we had, but he also did a great job of taking charge and directing us when we needed it. The pictures turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier. He is an extremely talented photographer...we'd definitely book him again if we're back in the area! read more

My family has used Michael Wesley for several family shoots now and would not think to use anyone else. He's always so amazing with my wild children, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. His work is outstanding, and his turn times are always very reasonable. He comes with my highest recommendation! Leaving our last session, my oldest son (7) says to me in a whisper "how come it feels like he's family?". That speaks volumes to me...he makes everyone feel very comfortable and is always very engaging with my children. We truly love our time with him and plan to use his services going forward! read more

Just did a photo shoot with Michael last week down in Little Italy. The shots came out amazing and are just what I needed for my new website. He did a great job directing me to help him get the best shots. Also, the turn around on photos couldn't have been faster. I highly recommend working with Mike for you're next event or like in my case, you're personal photoshoot :) read more

My husband and I hired Michael to shoot our vow renewal in LaJolla. I found him online, and read his reviews on Yelp and decided to book him. He worked with us and our unique situation (short ceremony, no reception) and totally exceeded our expectations. He's fun, friendly, and gets the job done. Great communication and professionalism. The pictures were amazing and he got them back to us in record time! Would recommend him to anyone! read more

Michael did a phenomenal job with our family photos. We did not know the area (La Jolla Bay beach club) and he offered to run by the location in advance to ensure good photo locations and lighting. We were coming in from out of town for the weekend. He had a great rapport with my young kids, getting them to smile right on demand!! He was very efficient, affordable, and we got some great pictures. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone. Thank you! read more

Michael was great to work with from the planning stage, to the photo shoot, and through the picture delivery/post processing. We had a family photo session with our 1 year old, who was not the easiest to photograph, but Michael was flexible and still got so many great shots. I would highly recommend him for your photography needs. read more

After researching photographers for our wedding, we decided on Mike based on reviews, his online portfolio and fair pricing. We loved working with Mike for our engagement shoot and wedding! He was professional, friendly, laid back and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We'd definitely recommend doing an engagement shoot before wedding day as it allowed us to get to know Mike and also get comfortable in front of the camera. We've gotten many compliments on both our engagement and wedding photos and are so glad we decided on Mike as our photographer! Highly recommend! read more

Mike shot our wedding in April and we couldn't be any happier with our photos! Mike and his assistant, Cam, were awesome. On a day that can be filled with stress and decisions, both Mike and Cam were easy going, friendly, and patient. The pictures are spectacular. The planning process was smooth. Mike was very approachable and listened to exactly what we wanted and gave great input. We received the pictures shortly after we got back from our honeymoon and loved all of the touch-ups. Mike was thoughtful in putting together our final product and it is really nice to have access to an online gallery as well as hard copies of the images. I can't thank Mike and Cam enough for making the pictures capture just how beautiful and love-filled the day was. The pictures are one of the only lasting things after it's all said and done (it goes by so quickly!!) and we are so glad that we chose Blue Wesley Photography to preserve the memories of our big day! Hire them! You won't regret it!! read more

5 STARS! My wife and I recently did a photo shoot with Michael from Blue Wesley Photography and the results were un-freaking-believable!! This was EASILY one of the best decisions we've ever made ( next to saying 'I do' of course ;) ALL of the pictures were PRICELESS, and could easily be on the front page of a magazine... and it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with Blue Wesley Photography! We're not supermodels. I'm no cover girl ;p BUT! Spend an hour or two with Blue Wesley, get your photos done, and you'll walk away looking and feeling like one! I'm tellng you... This guy ROCKS! HERE ARE 2 PICTURES FROM OUR SHOOT: Click Here - http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg316/brittshawbucket/VampJFeb2014-105.jpg Click Here - http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg316/brittshawbucket/VampJFeb2014-71.jpg It was impossible for us to pick our favorite pictures that he took.. ALL of them were amazing. Having to pick our favorite would be like trying to choose your favorite child, favorite ninja turtle, or ice cream... you just can't do it! They are ALL GOOD! When it comes to photography. I am HARD to please. I love photography, it's a passion of mine, and I have really high expectations with it. Honestly, before choosing Blue Wesley to do photos for us.. My wife and I must've looked at hundreds of different photographers in the area.. HUNDREDS (if not more). and you should've seen me.. I was yelling at the screen.. and just kept saying.. "NEXT.. next! next!" Most photographers in the san diego area that we came across were mediocre at best... most were 'meh' Then, e came across Blue Wesley's Portfolio... And my immediate reaction was 'WOW!' This guy was a breath of fresh air! His photography was the cat's pajama!. All of his work was jaw dropping and had such life, love, and soul in it. The guy is a freaking legend! So of course, after seeing his work, we immediately contacted him... And he got back to us VERY quickly. We needed a photographer and we needed one bad.. And worse, we were running very low on time.. Time was of the essence! (we wanted to do maternity pictures and my wife was due in a week and a half lol) so as you can imagine, we had a very small window to operate in, and we gave Michael short notice.. But, the dude pulled it off! He was extremely courteous and friendly over the phone.. He returned all of my calls very quickly. We scheduled a photo shoot out on the beach that week... and the wifey and I were as giddy and excited as a 12 year old girl at a one direction concert.. we couldn't wait! So, the big day arrives! The weather was PERFECT.. not a cloud in the sky. We get dressed and ready to go.. and 30 minutes before the scheduled shoot starts.. What do you know? Some rogue fog rolls in (straight from the pit of hell, I'm sure) and wrecks our day! Seriously, this fog was so thick you couldn't see 2 feet in front of you. "what the heck?!! Have the gods smited us?" you can't take pictures in this weather!! The wifey and I were of course bummed.. BUT.. Michael came to the rescue, was super cool about it and helped us both relax. He comforted us and said we can just try again the next day.. (which shows how flexible he is and how easy he is to work with) And so round 2.. we returned to the beach shortly after.. and no fog from hell! rejoice!! The weather was perfect! We meet Michael.. and seriously, he was SO much fun to work with! Instantly you feel like you've been best friends with him forever. No matter who you are.. getting pictures taken can be nerve-racking.. But he makes it a breeze! he make it so easy for you to be comfortable, have fun, and relax! When you work with him there's no stress, no pressure, and no rush. Even if you're camera shy or nervous.. He'll help you be natural and keep it fun. Trust me, you are going to love it! So as soon as we got out there on the beach.. he went to work with his camera and did his magic.. he got the wifey and I doing tons of different poses. He had LOTS of great ideas for us! And look, we were absolutely clueless about poses, props, and set up... I got 1 move. that's it. I now how to stand and say cheese. that's it. But he came up with a ton of exciting and fun poses for us to do.. and showed us exactly how to do it. So needless to say, the wifey and I had a blast! He sent us the pictures later on... we love them! Highly recommend him. We'll be using him again and again. So there you have it, if you want an amazing photography, contact Blue Wesley... He's a rockstar! Plus, he has killer unbeatble prices, so you can't go wrong! -Jarrett read more

This was our first time taking photos outside and with Blue Wesley Photography. We met with Mike for a sunset shoot. The entire time was extremely casual and comfortable. Mike suggested backdrops, changed the lighting and was very active with my husband, myself and 2 bulldogs. We are very pleased with the photos that turned out. I would highly recommend Blue Wesley Photography for a scenic photo shoot and use him again in the future! read more

I was looking for a photographer to shoot family pics at the beach during my trip to San Diego. Other photographers wanted a fortune! Then I found Michael. Loved the pics I saw online and he was affordable. Michael recommended a beautiful beach for us since I was not familiar with area and accommodated our very tight schedule. Michael was friendly and very easy to work with. He took all the pics were requested and had great ideas of his own. The pictures were sent to me on time, as promised, with a lot of editing options. I couldn't be happier with Michael and our great family pics. read more

Mike at Blue Wesley is fantastic. I requested 100-200 photos of me for use on social media, and he scheduled me immediately. I received the photos just 4 days later. He was super easy to work with; he gave lots of great direction & put me at ease. He was also very patient while I went through several outfit changes, and he suggested ~20 different backgrounds. He provided terrific value for the cost. I would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to anyone. My favorite picture is attached. read more

Blue did a fantastic job with our engagement AND wedding photos. We originally booked Blue for an engagement shoot prior to our wedding. We immediately felt comfortable with him, and very much enjoyed working with him. He was quick to get our engagement photos back to us, which turned out great! Fast forward to a month later, when we hired Blue to be our wedding photographer...in Costa Rica! He quickly became an integral part of the wedding, not just with his talent behind the lense, but also with his laid back, warm personality. We are forever appreciative of Blue and consider him a friend. Blue is our go-to photographer! read more

Michael shot our engagement and wedding pictures this past year (we got married in June) and we are BEYOND happy with every aspect of our experience with him! He is not only great at what he does, but a really nice and easy to work with. We had a weird schedule (engagement photos about a month before our wedding!) because of my husband's deployment, but Michael and his team were super flexible and always there for us when we had questions. The day of the wedding, he caught EVERYTHING and we hardly noticed him during our ceremony (a huge thing for us since we've been to weddings were photographers have completely blocked guests). He is also VERY affordable as far as wedding photography, which if you are looking right now and comparing, you KNOW how expensive it can get. We absolutely love all of our photos and will cherish them forever. read more

Great photography! Immediately felt comfortable upon meeting Mike. Loved how relaxed and smooth the whole session was. Our first family pictures and we absolutely loved them. Definitely recommend for any of your upcoming photos, and I definitely will be coming back when my daughter gets older. read more

They were beautiful save the date photos! read more

I primarily use Yelp to look for recommendations and hardly write one of my own, but I feel compelled to do so for Michael. As a birthday gift to our mom, my brother and I booked a photoshoot for our family while on vacation in San Diego. Michael helped to create and capture our group, which included all ages, in many special moments that we will cherish forever. Many times I've liked photos on photographers' websites but understand that those are the absolute best of the bunch... but with Michael, all of our photos could be the best of the bunch. We are very pleased. Thanks a million! read more

Michael is an incredible photographer! As a former actress and model, I've worked with many photographers. Michael is one of the best that I've worked with. I found him online as I was wanting to get family photos as a gift for my mom's birthday. I stalked his website and reviews and reached out to him to schedule the shoot. The shoot was seamless and the photos turned out amazing. I am beyond pleased. I was so happy with the photos, I re-hired Michael to shoot photos for my website and online academy. It was a complete re-brand. I could have hired a photographer in LA, but I didn't, because Michael is so easy to work with and the results are impeccable. Michael's energy is contagious. He coaches while shooting which not many photographers can do this. He is open to ideas and he enjoys collaborating. He is a visionary, and he makes the photo shoot fun! I would hire Michael again, and again, for any business or personal photos that I need. He is truly talented. read more

We hired Mike to shoot headshots of our sales team so they could use them for email marketing, social media and internal profiles. He was able to coordinate and shoot about 50 people over a 2 hour window we had over a 2 day period of time. I thought he did a terrific job of making the subjects feel comfortable and finding the best "look" for them. I would definitely hire him again and thought he was very professional. I also received very positive feedback from our employees about him. read more

We hired Michael for Engagement, Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Photos- and were completely blown away by the photos and moments he captured with each event!! I am awkward in front of the camera and at first was nervous about how everything would turn out. Michael said to trust him and I am SO glad we did. Seriously the most beautiful images were captured- we looked like professionals!!- he has an amazing eye. Not only is he extremely talented but he is AWESOME to work with, super accommodating and great to work with. We will definitely be hiring Blue Wesley for our next big event. 5 stars for amazing work and an even better guy! read more

Michael took our family photos over the summer. He provided an excellent experience. Michael's suggested locale was fantastic. He had his own ideas of what he wanted to shoot, yet allowed for some input of what I hoped to capture. He was very patient with my photo-averse family, too! Michael was responsive from the start, turned the photos around quickly and did so at a reasonable price. read more

Michael was recommended to me for a series of photographs to add to my website, as I am starting my own law practice. Michael was simultaneously laid back and professional, and gave me a lot of great direction. I wanted to take photographs in several locations with several different clothing changes, and Michael was more than willing to oblige, even offering his own suggestions for locations. When I got the photos back from Michael, I was more than impressed. They were absolutely fantastic! Michael has an eye for photography and location, and the photos exceeded my expectations. Michael was even willing to change the file size, crop size, shape of photo, and color scheme of the photo to fit my website needs. I highly, highly recommend Michael for any of your photographic needs. read more

Blue Wesley Photography is the type of talent you see on gallery walls or in magazines....the fact they've chosen to keep prices affordable enough for real people on a budget to capture memories reflects the passion and joy they feel in sharing their talent. We can't say enough about the memories made and the incredible eye they offer but we will tell EVERYONE we know. Vacation, resident, travel request....no matter what you need, call Blue Wesley!! read more

Michael did an amazing job taking our maternity pictures. We live out of town and found him here on Yelp and we couldn't have been happier with his service from beginning to end. His knowledge of areas to shoot was super helpful as we weren't sure of the best place especially on a busy holiday weekend. He made us feel super comfortable during the shoot and we ended up with a ton of beautiful pictures to document our pregnancy. We would definitely recommend Michael to anyone! read more

My sister and I were looking for a photographer for our dad's birthday over the summer (we do this every 2 years with our families for our parents). We put down a deposit really early because we know how summers can be busy but then our father got sick so we had to cancel all our plans. We got our money back from our rental and everyone else except from this company. They only gave us half our deposit back even though we gave over 4 months notice. We gave lots of notice and this was a traumatic event for our family. read more

Mr. Wesley did such an AMAZING job! We absolutely love our wedding photos! He kept open communication during the planning stages and the day of, he captured every detail.

He truly did a fantastic job of capturing our special day and we wouldn't hesitate to use his services again in the future. read more

I hired Michael to photograph my father-in-law's paddle out memorial because 1) he was a surfer and 2) I liked his portfolio. Unfortunately, the waves were too big for Michael to safely go out and photograph the paddle out ceremony from the water but the photos I got back were absolutely amazing and it was difficult for me to whittle it down for a slideshow. The images are precious to my family as he perfectly captured the day honoring an ex-lifeguard, Bruin and waterman. He has a keen eye, creative mind and is super responsive. I would not hesitate to hire him again! read more
