Indiana Wedding Photographers
An Experience That Leads With Empathy & Follows Through With Unforgettable Imagery
Over the last decade, we’ve mastered the art of reading the room—knowing when to step in and when to let the moment unfold. Every couple is different, which is why we take a tailored approach to each wedding, making sure your experience feels effortless and uniquely you. From the first consultation to your final gallery reveal (hosted in our studio with a killer charcuterie board, of course), we create a space where you can be fully present—while we capture it all.
Real Moments > Forced Perfection
Perfectly curated, performative weddings? Yeah, that’s not your vibe. And honestly? Same. You deserve a wedding experience that feels real—not a production for the sake of aesthetics. But here’s the thing—you don’t have to choose between emotion and style. You can have both.
Our sweet spot? Capturing the kind of images that make jaws drop and hearts race. The ones that feel effortless yet completely you. We blend epic storytelling with raw, unscripted emotion—so every frame looks incredible without ever feeling forced.
And No, It’s Not Too Good To Be True
“Wes and Chelsea are more than just photographers capturing beautiful portraits and behind the scenes memories — they are your trusted partners on your big day. From our initial discovery call, to planning out our timelines, to the big day; they really have your back from all angles.”
So We Meet Again…
We’re Wes and Chelsea, the duo behind Westley Leon Studios — who also happen to be husband and wife.
Together, we have more than 550 weddings under our belt (impressive, we know). And if we’ve learned one thing from the hundreds of aisles walked and countless vows exchanged, it’s that each and every connection, couple, and wedding is unique. Your story isn’t meant to fit into a cookie-cutter box that is premade and perfectly curated. So we say break that mold. Trust us, you’ll be happy as hell that you did.

Think Of Us As An Addition To Your Wedding Party, But With Epic Photo & Video Skills
Meet Westley
Photographer & Videographer, FOUNDER OF THIS OFF-BEAT STUDIO. BRINGS THE ENERGY, THE CREATIVITY, AND THE FUN. UNREPENTANTLY NERDY, TACO ENTHUSIAST, AND A MASTER OF WELL-TIMED SENTENCE ENHANCERS.
Westley (but you can call him Wes) is the energy you didn’t know you needed on your wedding day. Passionate, creative, and with just the right amount of chaos, he’s been capturing love stories since 2012—starting with an electrifying concert pit before jumping into his first wedding (literally the next day).
On your wedding day, Wes seamlessly integrates into the celebration, matching your energy, reading the room, and keeping things fun and stress-free. Past couples rave about how his ability to make them feel relaxed and comfortable, transforming the photography experience into a fun and stress-free part of their special day.
His approach? Mostly candid, stepping in only when you need that little extra guidance. No stiff posing, no forced moments—just real, emotional, and stunning images that capture the story of your day exactly as it happened. And with his infectious enthusiasm and creative eye, you won’t just walk away with amazing photos—you’ll walk away with an experience you actually enjoyed.
Meet Pixel
While Wes and Chelsea handle the cameras, Pixel takes on the real responsibility—running the studio from the comfort of her favorite sunbeam. As the self-appointed Supurrvisor, she keeps a watchful eye on all editing sessions, ensures every package is inspected (by sitting on it), and occasionally demands head scratches between workflow sprints.
While she won’t be showing up to your wedding (unless you insist on a feline flower girl), rest assured that every image you receive has been Pixel-approved.
Meet Chelsea
Photographer & Videographer, WIFE TO WES. THE PAM TO HIS JIM, THE PEANUT BUTTER TO HIS JELLY. ENNEAGRAM 2W3. KNOWN FOR HER WARMTH, ATTENTION TO DETAIL, AND ABILITY TO MAKE EVERYONE FEEL AT EASE.
Chelsea is the calm in the wedding day whirlwind—the one capturing the in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening. With over 15 years in the wedding industry, she intuitively reads the room, anticipating emotions before they unfold and ensuring that every meaningful detail is documented authentically.
While Wes hypes up the energy, Chelsea focuses on the subtle, often-overlooked moments that make your wedding uniquely yours. She seamlessly moves through the day, capturing candid interactions, stolen glances, and the raw emotions that define your story.
Past couples love her down-to-earth approach and how effortlessly she makes everyone feel at ease. With Chelsea behind the lens, your wedding gallery won’t just be a collection of photos—it will be a true reflection of how it felt to live it.
Meet The Associates
A DAMN GOOD TEAM TO BACK US UP—SO YOU STILL GET THE WLS EXPERIENCE.
At Westley Leon Studios, we haven’t figured out how to clone ourselves yet (trust us, we’ve looked into it), but that’s exactly why we’ve built a team of dedicated professionals we trust completely. We don’t just hire random freelancers—every associate undergoes extensive, hands-on training and works alongside us as second shooters for a minimum of two years before stepping into a lead role.
During this time, they refine their technical skills, learn to adapt to the unpredictable nature of weddings, and master our signature approach to storytelling. That way, whether you’re working with Wes, Chelsea, or one of our associates, you’re getting the same WLS experience—a seamless, stress-free day and a gallery full of incredible moments.
When you book with us, you’re not just hiring a photographer—you’re choosing a team that’s spent years perfecting their craft, so you can stay present while we capture it all.
