William H Photography

Introduction: "Hello! I'm William, and I'm a wedding photojournalist and a visual storyteller based in Fresno, CA, but a native San Franciscan. I work in the Bay Area as well. I specialize in telling your story through pictures of your incredible wedding day, and I do so without making you say cheese, bossing you around or in fact, directing you in any way. The style of wedding photography I enjoy is known as documentary wedding photography or wedding photojournalism. It's a cliche, I know, but I am actually passionate about photographing weddings authentically and responsibly. Before documenting weddings, I have had a successful 25-year career as a professional photojournalist and an editor, working for magazines and wire services worldwide along with major newspapers in five states. The last 10 years I've served as the director of photography for The Fresno Bee. My range of clients have included The Associated Press, Reuters, Time, Newsweek, Money, Forbes, New York Times and other newspapers in the US and abroad. I have covered major sporting events, tragedies and triumphs. I have covered presidential campaigns in two countries. I've handed Jimmy Carter a hammer, asked Hillary Clinton what she kept in the White House fridge and turned down being bought breakfast by Laura Bush twice. I have achieved numerous awards during my career, including being nominated by Gannett Newspapers (USA Today) for a Pulitzer Prize in feature photography. So, unlike some photographers that you may come across who practice photojournalistic-style wedding photography, I have a long history of working in this field.
