Making Camera-Shy Couples Confident and Comfortable Since 2018

Hey there! I'm Tristen,

Documenting Love is my favorite past-time!

I've been taking photos for as long as my mom has trusted me with her camera gear back when I was a little kid! What started as a little girl taking blurry close-ups of the bugs in her backyard has slowly transformed into my life's biggest passion.  Seriously, nothing makes me feel better than seeing someone grow more confident in front of a camera throughout a photo shoot.  It gives me all those warm and fuzzy feelings knowing I helped someone fall in love with themselves a bit more.

Some kind words about us;

"She went above and beyond in getting us some unique photos.  We both loved her adventurous spirit.  Thank you for making our day so special!

"If you're looking for a photographer to make you feel at ease and capture your true self and relationship then Wander West is who to book! We booked Tristen from Wander West Photography for our engagement photos and the experience from booking to receiving our gallery was incredible! Both my partner and I are camera shy and don't like having our photos taken, and Tristen kept us relaxed throughout the session. She even helped us decide our wardrobe! The session was fun and allowed us to just be ourselves which means we have photos that really capture everything about us. We've been complimented so many times on our beautiful engagement photos. Thanks so much Tristen, we can't wait to have you capture our wedding!"

"Amazing photography, great value, and perfect professionalism. Tristen did an amazing job on both the engagement and wedding photos for us. She was very easy and fun to work with and had plenty of posing positions that turned out great. She can make even the most camera shy feel comfortable which we appreciated. Beyond all that she has great communication and got us the edited photos in a timely manner. You can't go wrong with Wander West photography."

How it all began. . .

I started my photography career in 2017 by working with models and occasionally local clothing brands.  Since then I have tried almost every form of photography even including real estate (yeah it's not really my thing...).  I shot my first wedding in the fall of 2018 for a friend back home in Forks, WA, and I fell in love with love itself!  Since then I was driven to work more with couples and focus on weddings.  I made my debut at the Modern Wedding Show in 2019 as "Tristen Williams Photography" and had 13 weddings in my first official year.  Wander West was born the following year, and since my start, I've documented nearly 100 weddings!  It's crazy how time flies and how much Wander West has grown. 

What started with just me, one camera, and a dying laptop is now a team operation that covers three different areas. I know little Tristen would be so happy and proud of what we have accomplished, and I can't wait to keep outdoing myself each year making her even more proud.  <3
