After 8 years of telling stories under the name West Imagery, I felt it was time for something that reflects my work — and myself — a little more honestly.

Going forward, West Imagery will now be known publicly as:

BY ERIC WEST

This isn’t a new company or a dramatic reinvention. It’s simply an evolution. Same heart behind the camera, same approach to storytelling, just a name that feels more personal and aligned with the direction my work has grown over the years.

Over the last 8 years, weddings have introduced me to some of the most meaningful moments and incredible people imaginable. What started as a business slowly became a body of work rooted in emotion, nostalgia, cinema, movement, and human connection. This new chapter feels more reflective of that.

To every couple, planner, venue, friend, and person who has supported my work over the years — thank you. Truly. None of this exists without your trust.

Excited for what’s ahead.

— Eric West

Shoutout to my dog for snapping this one of me.

Not all weddings are made equal. This one was one of those weddings that will go down as nothing shy of legendary. Couldn’t have made it happen without all the amazing crew that put it together. Full feature will be on the site soon.

Before these two even knew they were about to embark on the craziest journey of their lives, there was a master plan forged by our creator. Editing this for and got me blurry eyed.

I always bring black and white film to shoots. There’s certain frames that I usually prefer to shoot black and white over color. Juggling between color and b&w film can be maddening though during a wedding so I usually just have two film cams preloaded 😂.

Featured in today! Still surreal going through these moments from Carlee & Chris’s wedding day.

Just weeks before their wedding day, they found out they were expecting — and decided to share the news in the most unforgettable way, surrounded by everyone they love. During the reception, they surprised their guests with the announcement, followed by one more reveal: they’re expecting twins.

The reactions were immediate, emotional, and completely unfiltered — exactly the kind of real moment that reminds me why documenting weddings matters so much.

Grateful to Carlee & Chris for trusting me to capture this day, and to PEOPLE for sharing their story!

A wedding at the Fonda Theatre?! I mean where do I even begin with this radical wedding that we were a part of. I can’t even decide what to post on here, but here’s a mix of film and digital images from this vibe of a wedding.
