Excellence and Quality!

There are too many amazing things to say about Tim and his importance on our wedding day. We were first drawn to Tim through his work on Instagram. We loved the vivid, realistic, and candid quality of his work. Meeting him in person for our engagement photos was great to get to know him and get photos before the big day. Tim was detailed, organized, and brought a calming and confident presence throughout wedding planning and the day-of. He captured so many candid moments and encapsulated the day perfectly through his photos. It is so special to be able to relive the day through his photos. We cannot wait to work with him again in the future.

Wedding Photographer Recommendation

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Tim for our wedding this past weekend, and we cannot recommend hiring him as your photographer more! He is so professional and collaborative, and brought a ton of expertise while incorporating our ideas and needs (like a very large family photo). He also great at giving direction and made sure that we got the photos we wanted while keeping us on track for the day. His photos are gorgeous and he made us feel so comfortable. If you are looking for a photographer for any event, seriously consider Tim!

Amazing client service!

We loved working with Tim as our wedding photographer! He really cares about his work, and we had a few different calls with him prior to talk through what we wanted, potential locations, changes to the schedule, etc. to make sure we felt comfortable with everything. He was flexible and adaptable as we mentioned our schedule for the day would be a tad untraditional. We kept him busy with additional photos asks on the day of, which he handled with enthusiasm! He was definitely a pro in figuring out how to pivot and made adjustments on the spot too!

Before we could even think to ask for a sneak peek, he had already sent us a few selects so we could start sharing while we waited for the full gallery. Highly recommend!
