About

When I started capturing some of the most important occasions of people's lives, I quickly learned that photography was about so much more more than the latest and greatest gear. It was about making people feel comfortable so they can look their best. I found that stunning images came naturally when I made genuine connections with couples.

I'm deeply passionate about photographing people. Capturing honest emotions is incredibly rewarding. No matter who you are, I can help you feel comfortable while being photographed. Everyone deserves to feel like rockstars in front of the camera. Let's chat about how we can work together to create images that you will be proud of forever!

Amazing photos! Made us feel so special!

Tim photographed our wedding and we cannot say enough nice things about having him with us on our wedding day. We are in awe of the sneak peeks we've received (the very next day,) and taking pictures never felt like a chore. We asked for so many shots, but Tim was so efficient it and was constantly checking in on us to see how we were feeling. We are so grateful to have had him with us on the day, and could not recommend him enough!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he was a true professional, but what really stood out was his ability to connect with our 6 nieces who were flower girls. They were a bit shy at first, but he made them feel so comfortable by letting them help him with the camera. He even let them press the shutter button a few times, which they absolutely loved! It was such a sweet and thoughtful way to help them relax and feel part of the process.

The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing not only the big moments but all the little details we’ll cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience, look no further. Highly recommend!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
