Wes Ennis began his photographic career in 1973 as a newspaper "stringer", shooting assignments for the Silver Lake News, Pembroke, MA.  A year later he became the full-time staff photographer for the Old Colony Memorial, Plymouth, MA where he first gained recognition for his photography with awards from the New England Press Association.

He later worked as photo assistant and darkroom technician for John Goodman of Boston. Wes attended Maine Photographic Workshops in 1976 and studied the nineteenth century art of platinum printing with George Tice. In 1983, he formed Raster Teleproductions, producing TV commercials and educational video projects.

Wes began using digital camera technology in 1999 and incorporated the medium in his wedding and commercial photography. Today, he continues his award-winning work in wedding and commercial photography, photojournalism, graphic design and video based in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
