About

We're Tim and Caitlin. We're big into love and all of its incredible forms.

When I met Tim, I was still figuring out who I wanted to be. He was a shy, indie music loving editor with a serious photography habit. There's nothing more attractive to an artist than someone who is passionate about their craft. I fell in love, hard.

Through the years I watched him grow as a photographer, and found myself more and more attracted to the medium. It wasn't long before I ditched my charcoal and paints altogether for my own Canon 5d mark ii. I can't say that I fell in love with photography in the same way I fell in love with Tim, but I can say that it plays almost as big of a role in my life.

Together we've been able to create lasting relationships with our clients and images we can really be proud of. Perfecting the craft never gets old, tired or boring. There's always something new to discover.

In many ways, photography is at the center of our love story. Looking back we have made so many incredible memories together. It's been our touchstone and happy place.

Working with couples, really connecting with them in such an artistic way, is the most rewarding thing we can do. Our goal is not just to make great photos and tell stories, it's to really get to know people and what makes the love they share so special. No two couples are ever alike; they each have something unique between them. We want to capture that.

Things you might wanna know about us:

1) Tim is a huge board game nerd, and I play with him when he needs cheering up.

2) We LOVE adventures. We've been known to take clients to some pretty random but beautiful places. We're always looking for clients who want to road trip with us.

3) We live on 5 acres in Alfalfa (8 miles east of Bend) where we dream of growing all of our own food someday.

4) Tim and I met at a chimpanzee sanctuary in 2008 - yep - cleaning up poo together.

5) We've been known to keep our clients as friends, because connection is what it's all about.

Highly recommend!

Caitlin and Tim were amazing to work with! From start to finish, they were so responsive, friendly, and full of great energy. My husband and I aren’t super used to taking professional photos and can be a little awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel completely comfortable and gave the best guidance and direction.

Their services were not only high-quality but also really affordable compared to others we looked at. The previews we received are absolutely stunning — everyone we’ve shown them to is obsessed and we cannot wait to see the rest of our photos and our video!

My mom even commented on how she saw them taking tons of photos all night — they didn’t miss a thing. And to top it off, my husband asked Caitlin to shotgun a beer with him and his groomsmen and she actually did! It just shows how genuine, fun, and down-to-earth they both are.

If you’re looking for photographers who are talented, professional, and a total blast to have around on your wedding day, look no further. Caitlin and Tim are the best of the best!

We can't say enough positive things about Tim and Gallivan!

Tim was the perfect engagement and wedding photographer! We were able to truly be ourselves around and have fun with the sessions because of his guidance, eye for scenery and poses, and extremely kind demeanor. We opted to do our engagement session in downtown Bend and loved that we were able to capture the city in our pictures.

Day-of, Tim caught every important moment. We have had a blast looking through our wedding photos, and we know we are going to treasure the pictures for the rest of our lives.

Best photo team ever!

Caitlin and Tim are the absolute best. We adore our photos from both the engagement session and our wedding! They captured so many incredible moments and were fabulous to work with throughout the whole process. They are fun and hilarious and we loved getting to know them and spend time together. I am so glad I get to keep my photos forever, they are the best set of memories from our wedding I could’ve asked for.

Hire Tim and Caitlin!

Tim and Caitlin were amazing. We laughed all day with them and came away with beautiful pictures. I was really nervous about wedding pictures, but the time we spent with them is honestly one of my favorite memories of the day. Thank you!

Best Wedding Photographers EVER!

Caitlin and Tim were the very first vendors that I booked for my wedding. I saw their photos from a previous wedding and it was love at first sight. When I finally met them in person, they were just as perfect as the pictures that they take. They are kind, funny, and the BEST husband & wife team. They made us feel comfortable and natural throughout the day, and that translated over into our engagement and wedding photos. When I got our wedding sneak peak, I got emotional because my wedding day was captured perfectly through their eyes/lens. 10/10 - Caitlin & Tim for the win!

Couldn't have been better!

Tim and Caitlin are amazing! Hiring them was one of the best decisions we ever made. They are warm, wonderful people who are fantastic at what they do. They somehow manage to be super professional and create amazing photographs while also making you feel like you’re just hanging out with friends. We had a blast doing our engagement shoot with them, and when we had to reschedule our wedding because of the pandemic they were very understanding. They worked with us to make sure they could photograph our elopement and our rescheduled wedding. They do such a wonderful job at making everyone comfortable during portraits and blending into the background during important moments. They are also very helpful during the planning process and gave timely responses to all my questions. AND they take gorgeous photos! We are in love with all the photos they’ve taken for us - they will help us relieve this special time in our lives forever. We really wanted to hire photographers who would ensure both a great experience and amazing photos, and that’s exactly what we got with Tim and Caitlin. Our family and wedding party also had nothing but good things to say about them and the photos. I truly can’t recommend them enough!

One of a kind

I cannot speak highly enough about Gallivan Photo. Caitlin and I truly bonded and got to know each other throughout our wedding-planning process. She genuinely cared about us and helped me feel so comfortable and relaxed even when I felt overwhelmed. She + Tim make a fabulous team. They knew the things that were super important to us and made sure to capture these moments. They got some amazing shots that we will cherish forever. Highly highly recommend Caitlin + Tim!!!

Hire Gallivan Photo!

Gallivan Photo crushed our wedding day photography! I have work experience in both the photography and weddings industries, so I knew that a great photographer was the first thing to lock down once our venue was chosen. Photos are the most tangible lasting memory of your wedding day, so it's important to pick someone whose style of photography you love, and whose personality works well with yours. We loved Tim and Caitlin's vibe from the first time we chatted (like, let's be friends IRL). They are professional but fun, and when behind the lens they know how to capture a great shot while also making their subjects feel at ease. Throughout the planning process, they were communicative and quick to respond, and Caitlin was a great resource to bounce ideas off of (whether photography related or not).

As bride and groom, the day goes by in a blur, and the only moments we had “alone” together were being captured by Caitlin and Tim. We truly enjoyed having them around all day – they knew when to take charge and when to recede into the shadows. My mom applauded their organization and ability to herd all of our relatives together for formal family photos. Seriously, they helped keep our entire day fun and running smoothly!

Last but not least, the photos speak for themselves. They are beautiful. Caitlin and Tim were wonderful to work with, so fun to hang out with on a perfect wedding day, and we will treasure these photographs the rest of our lives. THANK YOU!!

the BEST wedding photographers

Tim and Caitlin were the photographers for our wedding in central Oregon in May. Our photos from our wedding and our engagement session as well are stunning - I had no idea how much I would love our photos! Tim and Caitlin are professional and so, so kind. They offered great recommendations for local vendors (we were coming from out of state) and were always willing to help and give advice heading up to the event. During the event they were prompt, on schedule, and clearly experts at what they do. We also received our gallery from the wedding in what must be record time! If you are looking for a photographer, I simply can not recommend Gallivan Photo enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Caitlin & Tim are a creative force. I have worked with them on a number of weddings and styled shoots. Plus I have hired them to photograph me and my team for professional photos and capture my young family for family portraiture. They are hands down two of my favorite photographers working here in Bend. They know how to disappear into the background to capture the candid shots, and how to authoritatively direct large group photos. They are also super adventurous and are up for going to any length to get the perfect shot. Love these two sooo much and HIGHLY RECOMMEND their work.

Tim & Caitlin are absolutely great at what they do. I had the chance to second shoot for Tim & his professionalism working with the clients & me was wonderful. As a wedding photographer myself, I love when other pros come together to collaborate & work together, rather than view each other as competition. Tim Gallivan Photography is a great part of our local Bend community and I'm proud to know them.
