All the praise

While we are 4 years late, as we're looking back on our photos today, it felt like a good time to finally write the review we've been procrastinating on. (Sorry!)

Tracy is the best person you could have assigned to the photographer slot on your wedding checklist in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area.

From the moment we first met her, she started taking notes on what was important for us on our wedding, and she captured everything we could have asked for and more.

A big part of our wedding was the fact that we chose to get married on a farm whose owner specializes in growing beautiful flowers. This farmer's flowers had been a hallmark of our relationship and Tracy knew that capturing this part of our wedding was not only important to us, but something we wanted to remember for the rest of our lives.

She's very easygoing, and helped keep the environment relaxed and fun throughout the day. She was also very good at getting the group photos that you would want from a wedding photographer, while not taking away from the excitement of the day.

Once the group photos were done, she then seamlessly transitioned into the reception and captured more genuine and candid moments than we could have hoped for.

She is great, you should hire her.

Chapel Hill Fall Wedding

Timmester recently photographed my daughter and son-in-law's wedding. They were very professional and friendly. We felt very comfortable being photographed, as did the guests. I've seen several pictures already and they are lovely. The couple is beautifully framed. I'm very excited to see more.

Best wedding photographer!

I had the best experience working with Tracy at Timmester Photography.! Tracy was very responsive throughout the wedding planning process and ensured that all the photos I wanted were captured. Tracy has a very upbeat attitude and was truly a joy to work with and have around on our special day. Then came the actual photos, which turned out gorgeous and perfectly captured our day. I highly recommend Timmester Photography and hope to work with her again in the future!

Exceeded all expectations

Tracy is the real deal. As a theatre director/choreographer, sister of a photographer, and the daughter of an interior designer I was a bride who had a particular aesthetic in mind. I loved what I saw on Tracy's website and appreciated and trusted that Tracy's eye and consistent + unique style would come through for our wedding. It did and more. In addition to capturing all the special moments with her love of color and keen composition, she worked efficiently and with passion and joy capturing a huge amount of photos during our marathon wedding day. Tracy truly went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Amazing Photographer

We can't thank Tracy enough for her phenomenal work during our wedding and leading up to it! Tracy was so flexible to make sure my last minute bridal portraits were able to be captured and printed before the wedding, and on the wedding day, our wedding party had so much fun with her and everyone felt so comfortable with her personality and photography style. I love that she values true colors in her editing style and somehow managed to make our summer wedding still look lush and colorful rather than hot and dry. Would always recommend her!

Absolutely Amazing Wedding Photogapher

We hired Tracy for our wedding day photography, and we have been so thrilled with the results! Leading up to the wedding, Tracy was very responsive to questions, and she helped us nail down our photography priorities. She was very open about her pricing and what she thought we could accomplish in the time that we had. Tracy then helped us come up with a detailed photography timeline that kept everyone on track! Tracy even toured our venue before our big day to check lighting, etc. at certain times of day. On the day of our wedding, Tracy and her second shooter, Rebecca, arrived early, kept everyone moving along efficiently, and helped everyone feel at ease. Our friends and family really loved working with them!

So far, we've received our mini-sneak peek, which we were so excited to receive just a few days after our wedding day, and our full sneak peek. Every photo is just beautiful, and we've loved sharing them with our friends and family! Tracy has been incredibly communicative about when we can expect our full gallery, and we're so excited to receive the rest of our photos in several weeks.

Fantastic wedding photographer!

Tracy made our entire wedding party/families feel so at ease during our wedding day. We were worried wedding photos would feel awkward, but Tracy made the whole experience so fun and light hearted, and both of our families loved her. And the pictures turned out exactly how we wanted; Tracy perfectly captured the feel of the day, and focused on documenting guests and candid photos, which was what was most important to us. I would recommend Tracy to anyone!

Tracy's Photos are anything but average. She recently shot a wedding at 1757 and we were blown away by the pictures she took and the moments she captured. From the first look, to ceremony pictures, to reception candids, Tracy's photos are absolutely amoung the best I have seen. Not only are her photos flawless, she is so kind and great to work with. I hope more of our future brides work with Tracy on their very important day!
