- We love to smile and laugh. (We do both, often.)
- We’ve got an eye for detail. (Four such eyes, actually.)
- We’ve got awesome equipment. (Ty treasures it so much he’d bring it all to bed with him if Christina would let him.)
- We’re thrifty. (And we price our work for folks who are like us.)
- We’re organized and efficient. (Christina loves making lists; she makes lists of her lists.)
- We don’t want to take pictures. (We want to make family heirlooms.)
- We'd love to hear from you! (You're invited to call, email, text, send a singing telegram... whatever!)

Couldn't Be Happier!

We couldn't be happier with Ty's services and how our wedding photos turned out! We felt that Ty was very invested in making sure that our wedding went as smoothly as possible. Ty spent a lot of time on the phone weeks beforehand planning out the schedule of the day, detail by detail, to make sure that we felt like we were prepared. Ty communicated and worked with the DJ and caterer so well and made sure that there was no miscommunication between what was happening and when. Ty overall was the main force that kept our wedding day running smoothly and on schedule. We also very much appreciated Ty's calmness, professionalism, and sense of humor, which helped us get through the stresses of the day. We are so happy with the quality and quantity of the photos. Ty was able to capture the most intimate moments of the day, so many spontaneous photos of our happiness, and numerous photos of our guests. Ty's services were such a good value for the quality, and we are so happy that we chose him to capture our wedding day! If you are looking for a photographer that will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy, you should definitely consider Ty!

Very flexible and awesome to work with!

Ty was amazing to work with! He was very flexible when it came to scheduling, and even worked on his day off. Whenever we had a question, he would respond no later than the next day. Ty made sure to make our day special and to catch all the special shots that you wouldn't think of. He also looks for the best shot possible and follows through every time! We opted for an extra photographer and the price was still affordable. Both of them showed professionalism and truly cared about making our day special! I would recommend Ty to anyone that asks! He did an amazing job!

Perfect Expression of Our Wedding Day

I've worked as a photojournalist and I can tell you that Ty is an absolute ace. His sense of the moment is impeccable, evidenced by the fact that he perfectly captured our personalities and the personalities of our families and friends. Most importantly, he made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and at ease. He is extremely thoughtful in every aspect of his work and is such an efficient and skilled communicator that he managed to successfully pose two very large families in a very short amount of time. He also went above and beyond and followed us to a park immediately after the ceremony to take pictures of us with our dog, which turned out incredibly well. I can't recommend Ty highly enough. We will treasure these photographs for the rest of our lives, and they will always immerse us in that moment in time.

Say Yes to Ty!!

Ty is a great photographer who knows how to capture perfect moments. My husband and I loved both our engagement session and wedding collections, they were more than we could have every wanted. Ty is genuine and able to go with the flow. He was able to take my vision and turn it into a reality. On our big day, he spent his time capturing detailed images and made sure that the Bride (me) and the Groom got everything they wanted and more. I highly recommend Ty and his beautiful work!

Speechless

From the very start of planning our wedding, I had told myself that my wedding photos were the most important thing to me. Planning a wedding can be very stressful, overwhelming and costly but I was prepared to spend any amount of money for great quality pictures to capture the special moments of our wedding. I hired Ty to be our photographer for many reasons, with the most important being very professional and patient with us.
Ty was at our venue around 12:30 PM with our first look pictures starting at 2, ceremony at 4:30 and hung around till 9. There we’re so many pictures taken, Ty would just come out of no where:) Being the bride and groom you get pulled every which way, bound to miss something going on. When we started looking at the final pictures, we both started to get emotional. It was so nice to see the love that we have for one another captured at all times during our busy day.
We couldn’t be more pleased with Ty and his wonderful work and creative mind.

More than fantastic!

Ty and his assistant were more than fantastic! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out great. He was very flexible with the day-of timeline, as it rained most of the morning and afternoon before the wedding. We felt very at ease when we hired Ty, knowing that he comes highly recommended, is friendly and takes great quality photos. Would highly recommend!

A Wonderful Photographer

Ty was so easy and fun to work with! We are so pleased with our engagement and wedding photos and we will always cherish them. Ty was very relaxed and professional the day of the wedding, which helped us feel relaxed and very confident that he was doing a great job the entire day. I was amazed at how Ty paid attention to little details that showed in the photos, all while staying on schedule. He worked hard to capture the moments that were important to us, from early in the day to late at night. I would highly recommend Ty to anyone!
