Incredible wedding photographer!!
Tracy was everything we hoped for in a wedding photographer! She captured such incredible shots of our wedding day and her editing made them shine even more. The posed shots were polished without being stiff and the candids caught special moments throughout the day. She made the most of the fall foliage with the gorgeous color of her work. During the ceremony and reception she melted into the background so we barely noticed she was there, but still managed to capture beautiful closeups.
Before our wedding, Tracy was extremely responsive to emails and answered all our questions. Our reception venue and portrait location were both new to her. She took the time to visit each beforehand to assess the lighting and best spots for photos.
Beyond a fantastic photographer, Tracy is an absolutely wonderful person. She was fun to work with and constantly positive through the whole day which kept us going during a chilly and windy portrait session. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and wasn't afraid to make corrections that would improve the shot. She learned the names of our entire wedding party and worked so well with our families. Many of our family and friends complimented what a great job she did and how easy she was to work with.
We are so thankful for these stunning photos that we will cherish for a lifetime! We cannot recommend Timmester Photography highly enough!

Shivon N. Sent on 03/02/2022The BEST there is!
I can not say enough great things about our experience with Tracy. Tracy did our engagement photos and there was no question that she would be our wedding photographer too! Not only is her photography out of this world, capturing every moment that makes the lifetime memories, but she is also such a pleasure to work with. My family loved working with Tracy...even the ones who normally don't like their photo taken. ;) She is worth every penny and the best there is!Timmester Photography's reply:
Wow, thank you so much, Shivon! I LOVED working with you, your hubs, and your fabulous families! Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words. I appreciate it! -

Rachel E. Sent on 12/18/2021Great photographer!
Tracy was amazing! Super organized and detail-oriented, she made sure she knew who everyone was and who we needed photos of, and easily navigated our complicated family dynamics. She came up with a rain plan last minute, and it turned out great. It was also really fun and relaxing to take photos before the ceremony. All the photos turned out great, and she got them to us pretty quickly (got a sneak peek of the photos after a week or two, and the full set in about 6 weeks). We highly recommend hiring Tracy!Timmester Photography's reply:
Thank you so much, Rachel! It was such a delight to work with you two and your families. Hugs to you both!! -

Kelly K. Sent on 11/08/2021Tracy is the very best
I've known Tracy now for almost 2 years and she has been the photographer for both wedding and engagement sessions of good friends, which ultimately led me to hiring her for our wedding! Our engagement session was SO fun - we wanted our 6 month old puppy included and she welcomed her with open arms! She also made my camera shy now husband feel more comfortable than I could have imagined. Then came our wedding day - Tracy travelled to Asheville for her first wedding there without reservation and absolutely brought our wedding dreams to life. She captured our relationship so perfectly, in addition to the key parts of our wedding - our dog, our family, our friends and the party. We love her. We would recommend her to our closest family and friends and hope that she expands her photography expertise so that we can hire her for every major event in our livesTimmester Photography's reply:
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for the kind words, Kelly!! It has been such a treat to get to know you, your pup, and your wonderful family + friends. I love you guys, and I definitely hope to photograph all of your future major events!! HUGS! -

Alison S. Sent on 03/25/2020Amazing photographer and a pure joy!
Tracy Timmester perfectly captured the joy of our wedding day. She was amazing to work with - from pre-wedding communication, to day of timeline planning - and she made our wedding day completely stress-free. She brought so much creativity when scouting out areas for our portraits, and she even came to our rehearsal to familiarize herself with the venue prior to our wedding day. Tracy is truly a joy to spend time with and our pictures are wonderful as a result. We couldn't recommend Tracy more!Timmester Photography's reply:
Oh my goodness, thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it, and I adored working with you. Thank you so much! -

Donna T. Sent on 03/28/2020Exactly what we wanted in a wedding photographer!
Tracy was great to work with! When we first met Tracy, her personality was what told us she was the right photographer for us. She's very personable, energetic, upbeat, and funny - while also being very down to earth, thoughtful, and genuine. She was extremely responsive not only during the planning process, but she also turned around the full gallery super quickly after our wedding. She met up with us before our wedding to walk around downtown Raleigh and scope out several locations that would work well for pictures. She listened to and incorporated our ideas, and also provided her professional advice and insight. Tracy was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. She was very calm and organized, and had a great method for efficiently working through the list of pictures, coordinating where people needed to be, and keeping everyone smiling! The mix of candid and posed photos was just what we wanted. The quality of and variety of shots was perfect. It was very evident throughout the process that Tracy truly loves what she does. Tracy did a wonderful job capturing our big day and we highly recommend Timmester Photography!!Timmester Photography's reply:
Wow, wow, wow. Thank you for this thoughtful and wonderful review. You guys are the best! Sending you all of the hugs. Thank you! -

Awesome wedding photographer!
We hired Tracy for my daughter’s wedding and she was incredible. She and her team were very professional and organized. We were able to get every group picture done very quickly after the wedding. The pictures were amazing! Her timeliness in getting the pictures to us was great also. I would highly recommend her for any and all of your photography needs.Timmester Photography's reply:
It was SUCH a pleasure to work with you and your family! Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind and thoughtful review. I appreciate it! -

Nicole E. Sent on 08/03/2020Fantastic wedding photographer!
Tracy was wonderful and captured the feel of our wedding brilliantly! We were looking for a photojournalistic approach, and her style easily adapted from the drama of a cathedral ceremony to the intimate exuberance of a backyard reception. She was a pleasure to work with throughout the process: friendly, energetic, organized, and responsive. Attentive to our preferences, she also offered her professional suggestions and scouted locations around the venue in advance for a seamless portrait session. Day-of she was calm and efficient but got everybody smiling (even my brother, a legendary scowler) and I appreciated how rapidly she moved us through the group photos and portraits despite changing light. Afterwards I was impressed at how quickly she turned around the galleries, at how well they reminded me of the event, and at many photos I loved. Highly recommend! -

Lauren Sent on 06/02/2019Tracy is freaking awesome
My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but working with Tracy, we quickly got over that! From our first meeting with her, we felt like we had found a photographer we connected with. We did an engagement shoot with her, which I definitely recommend, as you will get to spend time with Tracy, get comfortable in front of the camera, and get some awesome pictures of you and your cutie to boot. On the wedding day, she made us feel so at ease, and we were cracking up! Part of why we picked Tracy is Timmester Photography's candid style, and even the sneak peeks we have gotten so far have shown us some amazing captured memories and emotions. Tracy and her team are incredibly detail oriented and genuinely do not want to miss a single thing. Their enthusiasm is so easy to get caught up in that you stop focusing on the small stuff and get lost in the moment. Their work is beautiful and they so clearly care about the couples they work with - we're so glad they were a part of our wedding day.Timmester Photography's reply:
Oh my goodness, Lauren! Thank you for these kind words! We truly do not want to miss a single thing, and I'm so glad that you noted that and felt that way. Thank you for saying so and for taking the time to write this! HUGS!! -

Wonderful Person and Photographer
Tracy is dream to work with and put us so at ease! The photographs she took were so gorgeous and timeless. She really took the time to get to know us a couple and was able to capture our essence on our big day. We were beyond thrilled with the photographs!Timmester Photography's reply:
Thank you for the lovely words, Amanda. I appreciate it! I miss you two and I hope we hang out in Raleigh some time soon. Hugs! -

Brooke Sent on 10/07/2018If you are looking for a wedding photographer, stop what you are doing and choose Timmester Photography. Tracy is AMAZING. She was my favorite vendor to work with. She is so incredibly nice and accommodating. She has several different wedding packages to choose from and will help make a custom package for you if needed. My wedding was in Raleigh, NC but my husband and I live in Greenville, NC. Tracy was nice enough to drive all the way to Greenville from Chapel Hill, on a weeknight, to do our engagement pictures. Even after having to reschedule several times due to weather. It was also sweltering hot and she was able to make my husband and I look like models despite the heat. She also was more than willing to allow our dogs to be a part of the photoshoot! She even made them look like they are well-behaved dog models (they are not). For all of the pictures she has had a super fast turn-around. At the last minute I decided I wanted to have bridal portraits done before the wedding and she obliged without question. She did a super fast turn around for those pictures as well so that I could display a portrait at the wedding reception. The day of the wedding we had two shooters so that the guys had getting ready pictures, and the girls. Plus we had plenty of coverage during the ceremony and reception. We got married on 9/22/18 and she has already gotten us a sneak peek!! The pictures are beautiful and I can't wait to get the rest. She also does beautiful guest books with your engagement pictures and wedding books with your pictures that are of supreme quality. They are hard back with thick, hard pages for the pictures. Tracy is the best!! I want her to photograph my whole life. Thank you for everything!!Timmester Photography's reply:
Oh my goodness, Brooke, you guys are the sweetest. Thank you for the kind words! I'm down with being your photographer for life. :) :) -

Chelsea Sent on 02/07/2019Amazing Photographer - Highlight of our wedding!
I just went to recommend Timmester Photography to a friend and realized that I never wrote a review!! How could I?! They are AMAZING.
I'm very picky about photography and spent more time finding a photographer than any other vendor, by far. Tracy Timmester is everything I was looking for and more. She is upbeat and friendly and very very skilled in her work. She scouted my venue and portrait location ahead of time since she hadn't shot it before, spending days in the Summer heat finding the best spots for us. She has a ton of energy (I don't know how she does it) and is on top of her game, keeping everyone wrangled and in a good mood. She's also hilarious and even our grumpiest participants were having a good time with her. All that for an affordable price too! I really feel like I lucked out and will use Tracy again anytime I have the chance, no contest.
Months after my wedding, I honestly hear more from my wedding party about my photographers (Tracy and Jennifer, our second shooter) and their amazing photos than anything else - they LOVED Tracy, and everyone passed the photos around and raved about them.
If you like her style, look no further - she really is the best, and she's very flexible. Just let her know what you need and she'll work something out!Timmester Photography's reply:
Wow! Thank you so much, Chelsea. This is such a delight for us to read. Thank you for trusting us to shoot your wedding, and thank you for these lovely, kind words!! Hugs! -

Hannah Sent on 12/10/2017Tracy was the best decision we made for our wedding. We wanted to love the candids as much as the portraits and really admired her photo journalistic style as well as her ability to blend into the background. She was super responsive to emails and concerns. She even came to our rehearsal to meet everyone, scope out some locations and put our mind at ease. She was completely unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. I barely noticed she was there but she captured EVERYTHING. She had a blog post preview for us within less than a week and our entire gallery to us in less than a month. We even got our photos before a friend of mine whose wedding was a full 3 months earlier. Once the wedding is over, having those photos ASAP is amazing. I'm so glad we have a flash drive of all our high resolution photos to keep forever. Our friends and family had rave reviews of her on the day of and after seeing the photos. They commented the following:
"Best wedding photos I've ever seen"
"The photos are so gorgeous"
"The candids are amazing and really captured people's personalities and all the little moments"
"I want to use her for my wedding"
"She was so fun and funny!"
TL;DR: HIRE TRACY -
