Hi Darlin’!

I am Whitney Schey, founder and lead photographer of Whitney Darling Photography (established in 2008). This is a recent photo of my family of seven. My husband and I are raising five precious babies just a bike-ride away from this beautiful bit of the coast in Orange County, California. I have photographed families and weddings for 15 years now, many here in California, but my career travels have taken me across the world to vibrant communities and cultures that have forever changed the way I relate to this world and the people in it. I feel very fortunate for every single opportunity— but mostly for the clients turned to friends I’ve gained along the way. In my work you will find a collective of everything from intimate backyard weddings to extravagant three-day wedding weekends.

My experience in visual story-telling is sure-fire; I am confident in what I do because it flows from who I am. I have photographed over 350 weddings now, and my commitment to creative work is more inspired than ever before. If you wish to reach out to any of my clients, please do, they will tell you firsthand— it is obvious that I love what I get to do, and that my dedication to the trade will translate into emotional keepsakes for you. I meet every opportunity with engaged presence and creative energy. My work is a gift from God because it is genuine to how he made me; I hope from the nature of our interactions to the final work delivered, you see His glory and unequivocal craftsmanship in everything made.
