hey there,
I'm Wil Perez.
the photographer behind 163 Studio.
I started with photography out of curiosity, but it quickly became my true passion, especially when I tried my hand at capturing weddings.
The turning point was when I worked as a second shooter at my first wedding. That's when I realized that wedding photography was my calling. Plus, having planned my own wedding in 2018, I understand the stress and excitement of the big day.
At 163 Studio, our vision is to set the standard for wedding photography in the Washington Metropolitan area by delivering timeless, authentic, and spontaneous imagery. We aim to bring unmatched quality and joy to each couple, capturing every special moment—from romantic gestures to candid laughs and everything in between. Our commitment is to celebrate the true essence of each couple’s love story, creating unforgettable memories that reflect their unique love story.
my philosophy
I believe in capturing the soul of weddings through candid moments.
It's about embracing your authentic self, letting go of camera awareness.
It's the unscripted, spontaneous instances – not rehearsed or staged.
Genuine moments, beautifully preserved in their most authentic form.
