5-Star Review on Yelp

Communicating with Terry Way Photography while we were choosing a wedding photographer was a breeze: Terry himself has a beautiful portfolio, is flexible and laid-back but confident, and really knew a lot about our venue and the options we would have at the time/season of our wedding. His wife Vallarie, who manages operations, was a perfect correspondent who provided us with all the materials we could want to look over and responded to questions very quickly. While we ultimately chose another photographer for our wedding (because we could take advantage of a videography bundle), this studio was wonderful to work with.

I'm so happy to have booked Terry for my wedding. He was so easy to work with and made us feel at ease right away. He was so flexible and easy going.
When we were first looking for a photographer, he was willing to Skype with us to get to know him better. We live in LA but were getting married in Carmel and did not have much time to travel to meet up with photographers. He answered our questions and just seemed to have a great vibe about him. We immediately felt comfortable and decided to book him after our chat. Later on, when we were in Carmel for a visit to plan a few wedding details, we met with Terry in his studio and were able to solidify plans for the day of. He didn't have to meet with us to do this but made time for us because it made us feel more comfortable. Really great service.
On the day of, he met us at our hotel for pre-ceremony pictures and then drove over to Stewart's Cove in Carmel for the ceremony. When our officiant was late getting there, he took opportunity of that time to take photographs of us. We only booked him for 4 hours but Terry was really able to make usage of that time and capture amazing photos that we will treasure forever.
We are so happy that we chose Terry Way. He fit into our wedding perfectly, had a great personality, and made everyone feel comfortable. With our small wedding of 23 people including us, he never seemed out of place. Thank you so much, Terry!!

Terry Way Photography is AMAZING! Terry and his wife Valerie were both awesome to work with from preplanning - day of the wedding - and after the wedding. Terry made us feel really comfortable and relaxed from the moment we first met with him. He took the time to really listen to what type of pictures and "vibe"  we wanted to cultivate. 


We were married at Rancho Soquel, Soquel CA in June 2013 and Terry took the most incredible pictures. It was a country, romantic feel but very laid back. I really liked the way Terry fit into the guests and didn't stand out as "The photographer". He also knew the venue really well and the shots that had the best lightening and feel. 



Overall I would highly recommend Terry Way and will use him in the future and events.

Radonich Ranch Wedding Photographer Terry Way- Review

WOW! Thank you Stephanie and Josh for the incredible review on Yelp.com





Santa Cruz, CA

Question: When a professional photographer gets married, who takes the

photos at his wedding?!?

That was exactly the dilemma we faced

when my fiancé (the photographer) and I decided to get married.


The answer fortunately, was obvious: Terry Way.


If that fact alone does not convince you of how incredible Terry is, maybe this will:Terry is the kind of photographer that all others strive to be, but very rarely are. His unadulterated talent shines through in each and every one of his photos. Terry knows how to capture a moment in all of it's brilliance utilizing his camera and his many years of experience. You will receive stunning photographs of your big day that are true to life and you will also receive them very quickly!Terry has a rare talent of being able to capture the most exquisite and heartfelt of moments. Not only do we have beautiful and meaningful photo of ourselves, but also of our family and friends. Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning and we have received countless compliments from all who have seen them. One person even said, "Those are honestly the most lovely wedding photos I've ever seen." Terry easily captured the essence of our wedding and his photos will evoke the memories of that day for the rest of out lives. Working with Terry and his wife Vallarie is an absolute pleasure. Both are incredibly friendly, professional and helpful. Their clients not only receive a terrific product, but also exceptional customer service along the way. Furthermore, Terry was a blast to be with the day of the wedding. In short, we will be eternally grateful to Terry for providing us with such a great experience and such wonderful photos! Our wedding would not have been the same without him. Words alone can not describe the sheer brilliance of his work, so I encourage all couples to check out the photos on his website. Once you do you will be running to your phone, email, etc to book him for your big day!

Terry Way is the best wedding photographer ever! His wife Vallarie (who manages bookings and billings) is fantastic as well - they are an awesome team. They are extremely professional and made our wedding photography a breeze. Our wedding was at The Dream Inn (awesome location!) in Santa Cruz and Terry found the best locations for our outdoors pre-ceremony pictures with our family and wedding party. He is very good at coordinating all of the different group shots / goes with the flow and he made it a fun time for all of us. We are planning to have him as our photographer again for our 10th wedding anniversary celebration!

How do I even begin to say how wonderful Terry is???  We were first impressed with Terry when he got our engagement session photos back to us about 3 days after taking them.  They were amazing and we had so many to choose from.  We just returned from our honeymoon yesterday and got the email today with the link to our wedding photos.  It is hard to put into words how magical our wedding day was, but Terry managed to capture it in his pictures.  He is so professional, but at the same time, it feels like you have your best friend taking your picture. He took over 1000 pictures, so we will be taking our time picking out our absolute favorites.  I know that I can count on Terry to help guide us in this process, though.  Thank you Terry!

Just got our wedding pictures back (after only a week and a half) and WOW!!! Are you kidding me?? They are so far beyond our expectations. It literally took us hours to look at them all. There are so many wonderful shots that my dilemma is going to be trying to make an album that will fit them all. Terry just shot our wedding at the Monarch Cove in Capitola in April. I am super picky when it comes to photos. I hate the traditional boring wedding photos from the 80's. After looking through his website I had to book him. He is so down to earth and his personality put me at ease. He has a knack for blending in with the crowd. He is not "in your face" with his camera. Most of the time you don't even know he is shooting. He was friendly with our guests and people even commented about how much they liked him. This is not a "job" for terry but a passion. The types of pictures he takes are full of emotion. He made us feel like he always cared about making our day special. We are already talking about how we want to take family pics once our family grows a bit. We live out of town but he will be our "go to" guy from now on. Thank you Terry for capturing the most beautiful photos from the most important day for us! We are forever grateful.

"Terry Way is awesome! I couldn't be happier with the results of our shoot. I contacted Terry and Vallerie for some Business Lifestyle photos to update my Coaching web site, and they were helpful and professional from the start, suggesting some excellent location possibilities.

Terry has a very relaxing presence, put me completely at ease, and then worked hard to capture one special shot after another. He covered all the bases. The photos are absolutely killer. What a difference working with a seasoned pro who brings enthusiasm and creativity to a shoot he's probably done hundreds of times. I actually had fun working with him.

I rode my motorcycle to the shoot, and afterwards he took some Bad Boy photos of me with my bike. He knew all the cool poses and the shots, including some black and white, came out like a scene from The Wild Ones! I might put 'em on a dating web site just for fun. Hands down, he's the man. I'll go to Terry anytime I have to get in front of a camera."

"If you are searching for the best photography EXPERIENCE search no further. Terry Way is the best. There are lots of good picture takers out there. There are lots of considerate and engaging businessmen. There are lots of outfits that are flexible and deliver product when they say they will. There are lots of bargains out there too.

Now, try to find a photography business that does all of that and more.

Right - its not easy.

Unless, you ask folks that have been through it. We did and everyone pointed us to Terry Way. We were so glad - because our wedding photography experience was amazing.

When you meet Terry you will understand. Very patient, very engaging and extremely knowledgeable. We described what we were after and he showed us a few examples - from there he did the rest.

He melted into our wedding and reception like butter - barely realized he was around - but he managed to get a unique perspective of every key moment of the event from front to back.

Several of our guests and family commented on how much fun it was to be around Terry and have their pictures taken - his personality adds to the day for sure.

Afterward, it took us a long time to decide which pictures we wanted in our final album. Terry and Vallarie were superbly patient - answered all of our questions and ultimately produced a gorgeous work of art that we are excited to share with everyone!

Great experience, great value, great people. You won't be disappointed."

  "Terry recently photographed our wedding at Testarossa Winery in Los Gatos. I dabble in photography myself, and having photographed a few weddings, I knew I would be a tough critic of Terry's work! Our photos are AWESOME! I love our photos and the way he captured the day's events! He's excellent at capturing candid shots, artistic shots, and really knows how to work with lighting! Terry and Vallarie are both very responsive, accommodating and easy to work with! I would not hesitate to work with them again and would overwhelmingly recommend them to others!"

"Look no further - Terry Way is your photographer! Terry photographed our September wedding at the Hollins House and we are thrilled! Everyone is gushing over our photos and we love them too. Just take a look at the photos on Terry's website and if that doesn't convince you, I can tell you that Terry's laid back approach and professionalism blended in with our family and friends perfectly. Vallarie, Terry's wife, had great communication and made the logistics of the entire process a breeze. Overall, Terry Way Photography ROCKS and you will love the style and variety of photos he delivers as he captures the magic of your special occasion."

Photography Terry was the best choice we could have ever made as a photographer. He photographed our Ceremony at Carmel Mission and at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. His experience and knowledge of the Monterey Bay area was excellent, he knew all the nooks and crannies and angles of the Mission to take the best photos. We had an awesome beach location with many features to take photos of and with. Terry kept us loose and comfortable. We had a great time taking pictures, even though it can feel grueling sometimes. Though awkward, Terry was very professional when working with another photographer my crazy mom hired for extra coverage. We would highly recommend Terry for any occasion.

We were truly lucky to have Terry Way do the photography for our wedding. His relaxed, zen demeanor was just what every couple needs leading up to and the day of their wedding. His prices are reasonable and photos are stunning! We had a great experience working with Terry leading up to the wedding (his wife Vallarie handles the prep and puts together albums) and on the day of, he was present but not intrusive. Somehow Terry found his way into quiet, candid moments without us even noticing. He even climbed up in the barn that overlooked our dinner setting and took photos out the window- he's like a ninja!

Thank you for the Review on Wedding Wire

Thank you Cristen and Chris for the 5-Star Review

We appreciate your review so much

"Seriously, the best experience ever... We fell in love with Terry's photos online and crossed our fingers that he would be available for our wedding in Carmel, CA. We wanted a simple beach wedding and creative photographs were one of our priorities. Vallarie was so helpful in working with us over email and phone. Terry was a cool person as well as a talented photographer. They helped us find a location that was gorgeous, were flexible with our spontaneous schedule, and assured us of a time that would have the best lighting for photography. Terry was friendly to our family and friends, easy-going, and the photographs were AMAZING. He met and exceeded our expectations and the price was right for what we wanted as well. We are so happy with our choice of Terry Way photography!! Thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts! The pictures ROCK!"

I met Terry 7 years ago when he photographed my brother's wedding. He had taken some AMAZING photos of me, so when it came time to think about a photographer for my wedding there was no question about who I wanted!

Terry was able to capture my wedding beautifully, I could not be happier! I will definitely be using Terry for any future photography.
