We are Wes and Necia Craft, husband and wife photographers best known for our cinematic, colorful, and heartfelt wedding photography. We're excited to meet you! We draw creative inspiration from your life story, our own marriage, photojournalists, painters, period romances, rom-coms, cinema, travel, national parks, faith, and our families.
We've proudly served over 500 delightfully colorful clients in Chicago, her burbs, and and internationally from our studio in Naperville, Illinois. As a graphic designer, I was looking for a photographer who was the total package: creative, passionate, an easy-going personality, someone highly concerned with composition and the overall mood of each photograph.

For your portraits we gently and playfully coach and direct as needed, creating a relaxed and collaborative environment. By the time your wedding arrives we will have talked extensively and had an engagement session. This helps your comfort and leads to more relaxed and natural wedding photos. Lastly, we can't talk about approach without saying we are partners in our own marriage and in our work.
I knew you were a great photographer and my brother's day was in good hands with you and Necia but I guess when you actually see those great pictures of the people you love it makes it all the more special. Being in the same field it was great to be on the other side and feel the happy feelings of reliving the day.
Most importantly, when you book with us for your wedding you'll get Wes and Necia Craft as your photographers! Relax knowing that the quality, attention to detail, and care you're getting when you invest with us for your celebration's coverage. Saturday in-season Wedding Photography starts at $5000 for 8 hours of photography two photographers and includes beautiful high resolution digital files with a print license.

Wes was recommended by our wedding planner, and he and his wife, Necia, did an incredible job! We first met Wes via Zoom and he was both personable and professional. He asked us our expectations and what was important to us in what we felt was essential to capture on our wedding day. He’s very organized and highly communicative throughout our wedding journey. He and Necia took amazing photos from the bridal prep to the ceremony to the reception. The photos came out beautifully and in high quality. He took amazing portraits of us and our families, but also, was great at capturing fun and unexpected

Wes and his wife are amazing! They recently did our wedding photos and last year did our engagement photos. They really take time to get to know you and figure out what kind of style/pictures would work best. You will not be disappointed. We received a sneak peak and it gave us chills! HIGHLY RECCOMEND.

I used Wes Craft for a professional headshot in Naperville. It was positively amazing experience. Top stars for quality, responsiveness, and ability to work to my timeline. His pricing is very competitive- I had researched and found him quite reasonable. I needed a headshot quickly for a media campaign. Not sure he can do this every time, but he squeezed my sitting in same day and had retouched photos within 24 hours. I’d absolutely recommend Wes!

Wes was an incredible photographer to work with. My husband and I were married in November 2020 during the height of the pandemic and Wes was with us through it all. Our plans evolved a few times and Wes was nothing but flexible, understanding and accomodating (he even took a Covid test prior). His timeless photos help us relive every moment of our wedding day and we are grateful he captured it. We cannot recommend Wes enough, this is clearly his true passion and we are grateful to have worked with him.

I cannot say enough good things about Wes Craft! Wes and his wife Necia make the perfect team. During our initial conversations, Wes spent a lot of time with us on the phone and in person to understand our exact vision and expectations. He totally understood what we were looking for, and was able to provide helpful information regarding possible locations and ideas that might work best for us. During our engagement shoot, Wes spent extra time with us to get amazing shots of the city skyline in the water. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Wes was one of the first vendors to reach out to us with information

Wes was our photographer for our wedding journey and he did a fantastic job! We decided to get married during the turbulence of the recent global events and he was able to go above and beyond his call of duty. Our engagement photos were just flawless, natural, and his style exudes creativity. He also saved our wedding and set us up with a fantastic DJ 2 hours before our ceremony. He has a great personality, very detailed, has an eye beauty and is professional beyond words. We would highly recommend him to any couple, family, or person seeking a great photographer.

We hired Wes to photograph our very small wedding in September. We are not naturals in front of the camera but Wes managed to capture our day as we had hoped. He was patient and persistent which resulted in many more successful images than I had imagined possible. He managed to capture our genuine emotions. The candid photos of our families are our favourites.
We would highly recommend Wes. He did an excellent job.

A+++ service! Highly recommend. I hired Wes as my wedding photographer and I am forever grateful for making that decision. The photos are stunning and the second photographer that he hired for my husband's house took wonderful photos. Not to mention Wes is professional, kind, knowledgeable, patient and has a beautiful vision. Just book Wes Craft because your photos will be amazing and it'll be one less thing you have to worry about.
