About

Chicago Wedding Photographer Ty Acierto is the owner and Lead Photographer of Prudence Photography. He's a member of Professional Photographers of America and a Columbia College of Chicago Alumni. He feels weird talking in the third person so he's switching now...

Phew! much better! Let's restart, I'm Ty Acierto, I'm a Professional Photographer based in Chicago and I also travel in all States. Some of the weddings I have covered over the years include Indian Weddings, South East Asian Weddings, Traditional American Weddings, Polish, Asian, Muslim Weddings, Jewish and Latin-American Weddings. I shoot in candid/ Photojournalistic style. I blend contemporary, modern, and classic approaches when composing my shots. Most importantly though, I'm a versatile Photographer and I love to hear what you're looking for! Let's chat!

Ty is an absolutely amazing photographer. We found him and instantly knew he was a perfect fit and he has great pricing too! Quality photos from a quality photographer for value pricing! We could not find better in Chicagoland and are so happy he was our photographer for our big day. HIGHLY recommended. If are you searching, search no longer as Ty is the winner. Worth every penny and then some!

We couldn’t be happier with our memories!

I am so beyond thankful to have had Prudence Photography capture all the memories from my wedding. Ty was so wonderful to work with from start to finish. Our wedding was supposed to take place in 2020, but was rescheduled to 2021, which Ty was so accommodating with. It was so nerve-wracking to reach out to vendors and not know if they would transfer their contracts over due to Covid, but Ty made it feel like it was not a problem a all. I originally found Ty through a friend who also used him for her wedding and also had such a positive experience. He took our engagement photos, took the time to discuss day of timelines, family dynamics, picture and location requests, and even allowed for us to have our dog involved with engagement pictures and wedding day photos. He was happy to accommodate all of our requests to make sure we got all of the photos we wanted to get. On the day of the wedding, Ty was the perfect combination of being organized and easygoing. He brought such a calmness to the day, which was much appreciated. He also has a true passion for what he does. He had such clear ideas of the photos and poses to get which made it seamless to follow his direction. Ty worked well with our entire vendor team, most of whom he hadn’t met before. He did recommend our videographer to us though, which worked out well. He also worked behind the scenes with my dad to put together a surprise slideshow with childhood pictures, which was so special to us. He was prompt in his communication throughout planning and stuck to his turnaround time in getting our pictures and photo album back to us. Speaking of the photo album…wow! We received a 12x12 acrylic cover photo album with thick pages as a part of our package. It is so high quality. I am truly obsessed with it and look through it daily. I can’t say enough good things about Ty and am so thankful that he was a part of our wedding team. Pictures were something that were really important to me in planning for the wedding and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We will treasure them forever. Thank you, Ty!

Ty was awesome!

Ty was wonderful to work with and very talented. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy. We requested two photographers for our wedding and he brought Tony who was also wonderful. Our photos are stunning! I cannot recommend Prudence Photography enough!

Speechless

Ty is seriously amazing. He was able to capture every moment. We got over 2000 images and all of them were perfectly edited and they all came back pretty fast. I'm honestly very impressed by his work. He made me feel comfortable on my wedding day and made sure my smile was very natural and not fake. He also collaborated with my videographer very nicely and they never worked together before. Unfortunately, I was left at the hotel on accident by my bridal party and Ty made sure I got to the church on time and he ordered me an Uber XL and tried to make me laugh the whole way there. He also stayed a little extra to capture pictures on the mezzanine that I really wanted. He did above and beyond what he was supposed to do. I highly highly recommend him and his second shooter was hilarious we loved him and he did a great job as well. Book Ty! Hurry though he gets booked up fast.

Prudence Photography (Ty Acierto) is a creative and talented photographer. He is prompt and professional. We hired Ty to shoot our wedding last month and we couldn't be more happier with the results. Very detail oriented! Ty is friendly too! He is fast with the turn around of the deliverables and he does not restrict copyrights to the photos (which is an A+++ for us since we don't really want to spend that extra money to buy the copyrights to OUR photos). I highly recommend Ty and will hire him again for our future events!

We really loved working with Ty! He was so attentive and understanding of our traditions and what needed to be captured during traditional Hindu ceremony events! I could not recommend him more! When we ran a little over, he was very understanding and did not try and get out of there - this is much appreciated by a bride since hardly anything runs on time! He truly has an eye and a passion for photography! From just our highlight photos a number of our friends told us that he captured us and our event beautifully!

We also were able to see our highlight photos in less than 2 weeks from our event and the full CD of photos was sent at exactly 2 weeks which is extremely quick!! And, again, much appreciated by an antsy bride. Really, Ty is a wonderful wonderful photographer and great business owner. Work with him and you ABSOLUTELY will not regret it!

Ty was great to work with. He was professional and very responsive to our needs. Our wedding night was fast-paced and ever changing but he was flexible and was right there to capture such amazing moments. The cost of his services was very affordable for the amount of work he puts in each event. He also shot our engagement pictures so we knew he would be great on our wedding day. A couple of our friends have hired him already!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
