Hi, I'm William Innes, a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Southern California where I live with my wife, youngest son and two dogs.
I love getting to know my clients on a personal basis - then hanging out with them on their special day, capturing all the excitement, romance and joy with my camera and vision. It's totally awesome!
I visited the Union Station area with Susan and Michael last Sunday to photograph some engagement pictures. I can’t believe how much walking we did! It was a super cool area with many photographic opportunities. Susan and Michael were game for just about anything - even coming up with the idea to photograph where the trains are.
A theme we called “lines” seem to develop as the day went on because many of the images had very interesting lines leading back to Michael and Susan. Here are a few images for your viewing pleasure.
susan - William! These pictures are amazing! We had such an awesome time walking all over Union Station with you. We are very excited to see the rest of the pictures and have you photograph our BIG day!July 3, 2009 - 4:49 PM
Lisa - What an great place to take some pics. I like the artsy/overexposed photo. It is very unique and beautiful photo. Fantastic job.July 3, 2009 - 5:04 PM

I photographed Wendy and Peter’s wedding last Saturday at Robinson Ranch here in Santa Clarita. We had a great day starting in the new “Red” suite at the Hyatt Regency Valencia. The ceremony at Robinson Ranch was held on the patio with a breathtaking view.
Wendy was so much fun - very excited about her wedding day - and it showed!
Here are a couple of images:
Some of the awesome vendores at this wedding were:
We started our Saturday at the Santa Clarita Hyatt Regency where Ashley and her bridesmaids were getting ready and having too much fun - like dancing in the room. The ceremony was in the Rose Garden at the Hyatt and we had an opportunity to capture some great pictures beforehand. Ashley looked stunning in a vintage style veil!
We all headed over to the beautiful clubhouse at Bridgeport for a rocking reception. Once we were there I had a chance to take Ashley and Brandon on a little excursion - in search of some more images. Here are a couple from the day:
Alan - Great photos William. It was a pleasure working with you last weekend.June 23, 2009 - 12:19 PM

Headed out to Hollywood California last evening to photograph some engagement photos of Talla and Zsolt. My good friend and awesome Videographer, Ari, from Video Impact Productions also showed up to capture some cool video of the couple (he recreated the scene of how they met in New York City - how cool). This was a fun session - the couple even danced the Tango on the sidewalk right in front of Amoeba Records on Sunset Blvd.
After the shoot we all headed out for a cocktail and a couple of appetizers. Ari and I can’t wait for the end of July when we will be at the Bel-Air Hotel capturing Talla and Zsolt’s awesome wedding.
zsolt and Talla - Hey, hey ,hey... Who are those two celebs you photographed in Hollywood yesterday?
They are sooooo HOT!!!! By the way, the pictures aren't bad either, as a matter of fact, they are quite good, stunning to be exact.
Thanks for a great time and great pics- you did a fabulous job!!!!!!
I'm gonna buy you a vodka martini the next time I see you, just mention the name, Rodney William and it's yours....

On Saturday we photographed the wedding of Jennifer and Alvin at TPC Valencia. It was a very special day - 12 years in the making and a great story to go with it. Jennifer and Alvin were truly destined to become husband and wife and I am honored that I could be part the celebration.
I was joined by my magnificent second photographer - Debra, and Talla another photographer/friend. The three of us rocked - capturing images while the weather cooperated with no rain, but awesome cloud formations.
jennifer - William,
It was truly amazing to work with you and the other ladies that day! You made the experience enjoyable and fun! These pictures are wonderful!June 8, 2009 - 5:32 PM

My wife and I headed up the coast yesterday to meet up with PJ and and Natalie in Santa Ynez wine country. Our mission was to do a little wine tasting and capture some engagement photos. All four of us are connected through the city of Montreal. Natalie, my wife and I have all lived there and PJ’s father attended university there.
My wonderful wife had prepared a cooler full of cheese, crackers, bread sticks, dips and chocolate. All four of us had a great time tasting great wines at Rusack Winery and Beckman Winery, while getting to know each other. We did manage to take some great photos at the wineries and in Los Olivos.
P.J. - Very fun day and the photos came our great! Can't wait to see the rest. Thanks William!June 8, 2009 - 8:48 AM
Virginia Mackel - I'm your new biggest fan! Your work is beautiful. I am a co-worker and friend of PJ's and I've never seen him so happy or this relaxed! Great location too. I like how you incorporated the surroundings as part of the photograph. Looking forward to seeing the wedding pics! No question, they'll be amazing.June 8, 2009 - 9:23 AM
