Studio Westlake

From the moment we saw Charlie's portfolio we fell in love with his style. SO glamourous yet so natural!! We had chosen a very rustic but beautiful venue, Marshwood Manor in Dorset and Charlie's style seemed to match our wedding vibe perfectly. From our initial zoom call we felt like we really connected with Charlie and felt that he really understood our requirements. We were very against any posed photography and just wanted to capture the day as naturally but as glamorously as possible and wow did he deliver!! Charlie chose the perfect locations within our venue at just the right time of day resulting in some incredible shots that made us feel like celebrities. Working with Charlie was effortless and we trusted him to make all the calls as we had never done anything like this before. We would highly recommend Studio Westlake to anyone looking to feel like an A Lister on their wedding day! Hannah & Alex

We are lost for words! Studio Westlake captured our wedding day so perfectly. They have given us the special opportunity to relive the best day of our lives. The gallery in its entirety is incredible and the professionalism of the edit is second to none. The emotions we and all our guests can be felt again and will stay with us forever as everlasting memories through their beautiful imagery. It was an absolute joy to have Charlie and Tim with us on the day and we will forever be grateful that we chose Studio Westlake for our special day. The photographs and film are timeless, beautiful and simply breathtaking. We say a huge thanks to both for all their help throughout our journey.

We hired Tim at studio Westlake to shoot and edit our wedding video and couldnt be happier with our choice. Throughout the day Tim was able to capture all the special moments with us barely knowing he was there. When we got the final videos back they were amazing and really captured the fun and luxury parts of the wedding day. His editing was so creative and his use of the drone was excellent. I would throughly recommend Studio Westlake.

Studio Westlake capture weddings so beautifully. We got married in Woburn, Bedfordshire in July 2022 and after searching high and low for the perfect photographer and videographer for our wedding we just knew Studio Westlake was the perfect choice. Tim Westlake was our videographer for the day and he was truly amazing. If we could have had Charlie to photograph our day too we would have done but sadly he wasn't available. Tim really did exceed our expectations with creating a wonderful video of our wedding day, everything about it is truly beautiful - the music he chose and the way everything was shot was so stylish and luxurious. We have watched the video so many times since and are moved to tears every time we watch it with family and friends - it will never get boring! Tim is so personable and really took the time to get to know us and understand any specific requests we had in terms of what we wanted included in our video but in all honesty we completely trusted him to capture it in his own way and we just couldn't be happier! Having a video of your wedding day is a really special keepsake and such a beautiful thing to watch and look back on and whilst I know some people are unsure of whether its necessary I would say you will absolutely not regret it! We have had so many people say how beautiful our video is whilst asking for their details, including our DJ who flew in from Ibiza and was keen to know who we had shoot our day as the video quality and imagery speaks for itself. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing to have a videographer and we are absolutely thrilled that we had Tim to capture it all so perfectly, he really is a creative genius and I cannot recommend him enough!

I have tried to write this review a few times but it really is hard to put into words how happy we are with Studio Westlake. Our experience, our photos, our video, everything. From the moment we spoke with Charlie we knew we had made the right decision. When trawling through the hundreds of wedding photographers Studio Westlake stood out for their classic, timeless, beautiful photos. Never in our wildest dreams did we think that our photos could replicate anything similar. When the option of a videographer was made available we jumped at the chance. The videos are not your typical wedding video, they really are a story catching the sentiment and specialness of the day. We got married in Marshwood Manor in Dorset during the summer. On the day Charlie and Tim were like an extension of our bridal party. They were just a pleasure to have around. I am a little awkward and do not feel photogenic but with Charlie and Tim I was immediately at ease. Some of my favourite memories of the day are of myself and my husband slipping off to have a little us time and have our couples portraits taken or rolling around laughing with my favourite people in the world trying to get a picture with some smoke flares. How Charlie and Tim made these look beautiful is just magic. We received our photographs and video in a matter of weeks. When we opened our gallery we were blown away. The photos are just beautiful but way beyond what we had hoped. The variety of pictures was amazing and not only did we have beautiful photographs of us and our families but we also had beautiful photographs of all of our guests enjoying themselves. They really caught the atmosphere of the day. As soon as we watched the video, the tears started to flow. Tears of joy and of delight. It is something that we will always hold dear and will share with our children and grandchildren. I just want to thank Studio Westlake in this public forum and would say if you are thinking about booking them..do it, you won't regret it. The only problem I have is now trying to find enough room on my walls for all of the pictures that I want to display.
