He is also deeply involved in one‑on‑one consultations, helping couples choose packages and approaches that genuinely suit their venue, schedule, family dynamics, and priorities—rather than forcing them into templates.

Overnewton Castle, January 2025
We got married at Overnewton Castle and had an awesome experience with the team. William was clearly very experienced, which gave us total confidence from the start. Nick photographed our wedding day and made everything feel easy and natural. The photos turned out exactly how we wanted. We’re really happy with the entire process and would absolutely recommend Tree Studio.

✨ Areas of Expertise
Roles at Tree Studio: Wedding Photographer, Videographer, Consultant
William’s work began with a documentary and journalistic foundation. Over time—shaped by extensive reading in philosophy and aesthetics—his style evolved toward Neo Romantic wedding storytelling.
This approach focuses on capturing genuine emotion and atmosphere, while elevating it through refined composition, rhythm, and romantic expression—never staged, never forced.
These interests strongly influence William’s sensitivity to structure, pacing, and emotional progression in both photography and film.
Seth: William co-founded Tree Studio with Seth, and their partnership remains strong to this day. Outside of work, they play basketball together for fitness rather than competition—though Seth, by his own admission, still wins most games.
Nick: Nick is William’s go-to collaborator for content creation. Whenever William produces new material, Nick helps bring it to life with engaging video animations, making their YouTube content more captivating and enjoyable for viewers.
