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!!

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!

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.

Photography was the most important wedding vendor for me and I was immediately drawn to Tyler’s style- vibrant colors with a focus on natural, candid shots. From the start, he was always so communicative- messaging promptly and even helping us craft our timeline.

Tyler did our engagement shoot, was our wedding day photographer, and we (and our guests) couldn’t be happier with how beautiful our photos came out! The turnaround time for sneak peeks and our full galleries was insanely fast. Tyler is the best hype man- he really made me feel pretty and confident. My husband isn’t into taking pictures, but he made him feel comfortable. He took the time to explain the rationale for the shots he was taking. Tyler also worked really well with our cinematographer from another company. They were so cordial and collaborative that many people around them thought we hired them as a team.

We are so grateful to have these memories to cherish for a lifetime, all thanks to Tyler.

Short review: Tyler is the best, book him!!!
Longer review: I reached out to Tyler on relatively short notice, and he was super responsive and scheduled a call ASAP for a surprise proposal shoot. He was communicative throughout the entire process, and then on the big day was constantly texting me updates and advice on the best spot. He even moved a bunch of people out of the way who might have interfered in the shot!! After the surprises he could not have been nice and was able to capture our special moment absolutely perfect. I seriously could not recommend him higher.

Tyler is an amazing photographer better to be described as an “Artist”.

He puts his heart and soul into every photo session, wedding, headshots or whatever project he is doing!

His professionalism is the best! He did such a fabulous job capturing the wedding of our youngest son and daughter in love! He captured all of special moments.. looking back through the photos it brought such joy to see all the love he was able to capture that day.

Hiring Tyler and Scratch Studios was the best decision that was made! He did an outstanding job, he used such creativity when working with us to get the perfect picture. We can’t thank Tyler enough for all of his hard work!

You will never go wrong when hiring Tyler Lyons and Scratch Studios for all of your photography needs!!!! 10+++ out of 10!

We had a destination wedding in Hawaii and couldn’t trust anyone else to capture it but Tyler at Scratch Studios — and WOW, he delivered! From NYC to Hawaii, every moment he captured is something we will cherish forever. The quality of his work is second to none, and his quick turnaround time (without any of the usual nonsense you can sometimes get from photographers) was such a breath of fresh air.

We’ve trusted Tyler for our proposal, engagement, and now our wedding — and every time, he’s gone above and beyond. He’s got an amazing personality, makes you feel comfortable, and truly knows what he’s doing. If you’re looking for someone to capture your most important moments, look no further. Tyler will deliver what you’re looking for… and more. Thank you so much, Tyler!!

We were so so so lucky to work with Tyler for our proposal, engagement, and wedding shoots and could not recommend him enough! He is incredibly easy to work with, responsive at all times, helpful with all aspects of planning that we had questions/ideas for, great at posing and making us feel comfortable during the shoots (we had minimal experience working with professional photographers!), and has a great eye overall with a natural editing style that lets the subjects and moments shine, all for a fair price. He was very comfortable with the locations that we selected and was able to quickly guide us around to different locations, capturing every moment that could possibly end up being a great photo. He works incredibly quickly and turned around previews within a few days of the wedding to share with family (and day of for proposal/engagement shoots!). Even as we write this review just a few days after the wedding, we think fondly of the moments and memories that Tyler had captured and we’ll forever have on our walls. We would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a photographer in the NYC area!

Tyler is simply the best. From our engagement shoot in the Flatiron District to our wedding day, he made us feel completely at ease — and the photos are absolutely breathtaking. We were on the verge of tears looking through our gallery (&& we aren’t cryers); he didn’t just capture how everything looked, but how it felt.

Tyler brought such calm, positive energy to the day (including a pep talk right before we walked down the aisle!) and so many guests told us how kind and professional he was. He went above and beyond at every turn, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him with us on the most important day of our lives. We can’t recommend him enough!
