About The Next Best Men Wedding Photographers

The Next Best Men Wedding Photographers

Hey there! We're The Next Best Men, a small team of wedding photographers who believe the best photos come from real moments, genuine emotions, and a whole lot of fun! With over a decade of experience, our approach is relaxed, candid, and documentary-focused. We love capturing the happy tears, uncontrollable laughter, questionable dance moves, and everything in between. We'll offer direction when needed, but our goal is to keep things natural so you can enjoy your wedding day without feeling like you're stuck in an eight-hour photoshoot. We offer flexible packages with one or two photographers for weddings of all shapes and sizes. Great photos, good vibes, and a stress-free experience. That's what we're all about!

We're not a big photography company with a revolving door of photographers. We're a close-knit team of friends who have spent years working together and genuinely love what we do! We know when to step in and offer direction, when to blend into the background, and how to keep things fun without getting in the way. Our goal is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds, not turn it into one long photoshoot. From keeping family portraits organized to catching those blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments, we've got you covered. Think of us as your wedding day wingmen, cameras included!

    INCREDIBLE!

    There is nothing to say here except WOW! We worked with Evan for our wedding photos in Greer, SC and couldn't be happier. From the first phone call where we told him we have never done formal pictures before, Evan kept us laughing and feeling at ease. By using more documentary-style photography, Evan explained how he focuses more on the candid moments and less on the stiff, formal portraits. During the wedding, Evan was running all around and captured so many beautiful moments with our family and friends! We lovingly called him the Nathan Drake of wedding photography. His demeanor and attitude was fun and kept us laughing and smiling the whole time. We received our preview album and we're stunned by how beautiful everything was! And these were just previews!!!! If you are looking for a photographer who is going to help make your day authentically yours and capture all the best moments with your family and friends, Evan and the Next Best Men team is the right choice.

    Best Ever!

    Working with The Next Best Men Wedding Photographers was a highlight of our wedding planning. From our first conversation, they were responsive and helpful, answering every question we had and making us feel at ease. On our wedding day, they captured great pictures while charming our guests. What really set them apart was how personable they were—Wyatt genuinely seemed to enjoy being there and it showed in how he caught the special moments between us. His work went above and beyond what we expected, and the whole experience felt fun rather than stressful. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without Wyatt!

    Beautiful and amazing!!!

    Evan truly captured the magic of our wedding day. We got sneak peeks and they are like a beautiful memory frozen in time. He blended in so naturally that no one even noticed him, yet he caught every smile, laugh, and tear perfectly. He worked with such calm energy and was always right on point. We’ll cherish these photos forever — they tell our love story better than words ever could. Thank you, Evan, for giving us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

    Best Men Best Photographers!!!

    From the moment we first spoke with Wyatt from The Next Best Men Wedding Photographers, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was clear, friendly, respectful, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Wyatt's professionalism and expertise were on full display as he captured the most amazing, beautiful, and impressive photos that we will cherish forever. He put my shy, awkward fiancé and I right at ease, and even impressed our guests by seamlessly shooting with two cameras at once. We are thrilled with the final results and cannot recommend The Next Best Men enough to any couple looking for wedding photographers who will truly help make your special day unforgettable.

    The Next Best Men slayed our wedding day!

    We loved Evan! He was very communicative through the whole process and very easy to work with. Evan made two very awkward people look great on their wedding day! Couldn’t recommend The Next Best Men enough!!!

Simply put, it's all about capturing real moments as they naturally unfold! Think of us as photojournalists telling the story of your wedding day through candid, unscripted images. We're always watching for those little moments, genuine emotions, and unexpected interactions that make your celebration unique. The key is knowing where to be, when to click, and when to blend into the background. While documentary-style photography has become increasingly popular, it's been our preferred approach since day one. We believe the best wedding photos happen when you're busy enjoying your day, not posing for the camera!
Absolutely! While we love capturing candid moments, we're all about getting those classic portraits, too! Most couples want at least a few posed photos with their wedding party, families, and each other, and we're happy to make that happen. Not a fan of being in front of the camera? No worries! We'll offer plenty of direction, keep things relaxed, and make the whole process as easy and fun as possible. We promise you don't need to be a natural in front of the camera to look amazing in your photos!
Absolutely! In fact, intimate celebrations are some of our favorite weddings to photograph! Whether you're exchanging vows at the courthouse, planning a small ceremony with your closest friends and family, or keeping things simple with just the two of you, we're all for it! We know firsthand how special smaller weddings can be—Wyatt and Rikki had a 10-person wedding ceremony themselves (with Evan behind the lens, of course!). No matter the size of your celebration, your memories deserve to be captured. Reach out and tell us what you're planning! We'd love to hear about it and explore options that fit your day.
Absolutely! We love photographing weddings that celebrate different cultures, traditions, and customs! From colorful celebrations and meaningful ceremonies to multi-day festivities, we're all about capturing the moments that make your wedding unique. We understand that these celebrations often have different timelines and photography needs, including multiple ceremonies, events spread across several days, and longer breaks between festivities. We offer flexible coverage options to accommodate your plans, so reach out and tell us what you're envisioning! We'd be happy to put together a custom package and quote that fits your celebration.
Nope! When you book The Next Best Men, you know exactly who's showing up! Wyatt or Evan will be your lead photographer, with Rikki or Justin joining as second photographers when your package includes two-photographer coverage. We're a small, close-knit team, and we don't outsource weddings to associate photographers or subcontractors. Take a look through our reviews, and you'll notice our names mentioned again and again! The only exception would be in the unlikely event of an emergency. Otherwise, the photographers you book are the photographers you get. Simple as that!
