Couldn't Be Happier!

Hire Tyler right now to be your engagement and / or wedding photographer. From day 1 Tyler was professional and flexible, and incredibly responsive, getting back to us via email or phone usually within a day! Tyler took the time to ask thoughtful questions and explain his approach to make sure we were a good match. We hired Tyler for our wedding pictures and got an engagement shoot as well. He allayed all fears about weather, back up plans, timing, locations, and offered calm solutions for everything. During the actual engagement and formal wedding pictures he made posing a breeze! My (now) husband is a little camera shy and Tyler made it so fun and easy and COMFORTABLE! We felt like we were just hanging out with a friend! I can not speak enough to how smoothly wedding day pictures went. I provided a timeline and shot list, which Tyler carefully reviewed, and he made it all happen! He kept us on time and the day running smoothly, and captured every picture on our shot list! You can tell he's just a pro and thinks about what needs to happen next to keep the day moving. He was just such a good presence to have in the room because he really helped run the show and kept the energy fun! And our pictures?!?! We LOVE them. Both our engagement pictures and wedding pictured were turned around in record time in a super convenient gallery that's totally versatile and shareable, and he even offered to make edits on any pictures we wanted changed to black and white or color. Truly we could not be happier with the results and are so happy we have these pictures of the day to look back on. I feel so confident recommending Tyler because the entire experience was just above and beyond!!

Amazing quality from Tyler

Tyler did a phenomenal job with our pictures, and was extremely pleasant to work with! We had a few last-second hiccups with the original plan for the shoot, and Tyler was extremely responsive, understanding, and helpful getting everything sorted. I would absolutely work with him again.

Wedding Photographer

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Tyler! From the moment we met him, he brought the best energy and made us feel completely comfortable and excited, even when the weather was not exactly cooperating on our wedding day. As a bride, it meant so much to have a photographer who made me feel beautiful, special, and completely at ease throughout the entire day.

Tyler has an incredible eye for capturing the beauty and emotion of a moment, and somehow he managed to make even the chaos of the weather look beautiful in our photos. Most importantly, he really listened to what mattered most to us. We wanted to have plenty of photos with our family and friends and to capture the people who made our day so special, and Tyler went above and beyond to make sure those moments were captured.

Looking through our photos brought us right back to the night and all of the love, laughter, and happiness we felt. We are so grateful that Tyler was there to document such an important chapter of our lives.

I could not recommend Tyler more highly. He is an incredibly talented photographer, but even more than that, he is an amazing person who genuinely cares about his couples and the experience he creates for them. We feel so lucky to have had him as our photographer and would choose him again in a heartbeat! 🤍

The best!

We had an amazing experience with Tyler and Georgia! From the very beginning, Tyler was incredibly flexible and accommodating. He even traveled for our engagement session, making the entire experience easy and stress-free. He was always responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. On our wedding day, Tyler and Georgia were the perfect team. They were fun, easygoing, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. They created such a relaxed atmosphere while still making sure every important moment and family photo was captured. They kept everything moving smoothly without ever making us feel rushed, allowing us to be fully present and truly enjoy our day. The photos exceeded every expectation we had. We were blown away when we received a large preview gallery just two days after the wedding, which was such an exciting surprise. Even more impressive, our full gallery was delivered within a month. Every photo is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, perfectly capturing not only the big moments but also the little details and genuine emotions that made our day so special. Looking through our gallery truly allows us to relive our wedding day all over again.

We cant thank you enough!

Tyler was so helpful in planning and shooting our proposal. He helped me brainstorm locations in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and had offered great examples from his portfolio. The end result was truly stunning and I can't recommend him enough!

Fantastic photographer, life memories captured & savored

Tyler is a fantastic photographer, but more importantly, an exceptional person. He has our highest recommendations. Tyler captured our wedding day beautifully and with great kindness. He cared about our ideas throughout the planning process and enthusiastically handled several locations and logistics on event day, all while not missing the important moments. He even zipped into layers and layers to stick with us during a true snow storm! We were impressed with the volume of interesting angles and locations he squeezed into our timeframe. He also effortlessly bounced between portraits, event coverage, details and family photos in our time. We are so pleased with the final photos (along with all of our guests too). We couldn’t be more grateful Scratch Studios captured our life memories. Don’t hesitate to book Tyler!

Highly Recommend Tyler and Scratch Studios!

We had a great experience working with Tyler as our wedding photographer. We were initially drawn to his candid, mise en scène–style photography and vibrant, fun colors, and he absolutely delivered.

From our first meeting, Tyler was friendly, calm, and easy to work with. As the wedding got closer, he was incredibly helpful in putting together a clear, realistic timeline and made sure our priorities were reflected — including our wish to actually enjoy cocktail hour.

On the day of the wedding, Tyler was on time, organized, and a calming presence. He worked seamlessly with our videographer and captured the day beautifully without anything feeling stiff or staged. We’re really happy with the photos and would absolutely recommend him.

1000% recommend Tyler for any photography needs! We were absolutely obsessed with every single photo, and we’ve been getting nonstop compliments. His editing is perfection, and somehow he made us look so natural in every shot. He gave us just the right amount of direction and made the whole experience feel effortless. He's incredibly sweet and having him there for such a joyful moment was truly an added bonus.
