Dee D. Sent on 01/30/2023Our wedding day would not have been the same without Christy & James!
Do not think twice about booking Christy & James for your wedding! Not only is their work absolutely stunning, but they are two of the best people you will meet. Christy & James captured our December 2022 wedding, and I can't imagine our day without them. I'm so grateful they were referred to me through other wedding vendors. Immediately upon introduction, Christy was so warm, personable and loving, I instantly felt like I made a new friend. She took the time to get to know us both individually, as well as a couple. It is so clear how much they care about their clients, as well as the passion and pride they take towards their work, which is absolutely beautiful.
Christy shot our engagement photos which we were initially hesitant about, but she was so encouraging, and I'm SO glad we did them. It was a great way to feel comfortable in front of a camera before the big day, and the photos were incredible. Being an extremely indecisive person, I couldn't decide on a location, so she took the time to learn what was important for us and weighed in with several suggestions weeks and days leading up to the shoot. She had such a positive, calming, down-to-earth presence, and made us feel at ease and natural the whole time. She also delivered our photos so quickly which was such a nice surprise. We were counting down the days to our wedding, because we couldn't wait to work with her again after seeing how well she captured us.
Christy & James were both present at our wedding and photographed the day so beautifully. They showed up early and worked so hard throughout the whole day and night (even with sick kiddos at home). They went above and beyond not only photographing every detail to perfection, but getting to know our family members and bridal party. They did not miss a beat and are the perfect team. They are also so fun and funny (both individually and together), with very low-stress energy that kept us laughing all day. There were times you didn't even know a photographer was there, because they were never in the way but still found a way to capture everything. They shared sneak peaks just days after the wedding, and when we received our full album shortly after, we were so blown away by not only the quality, but the amount of photos we received!! Choosing photos for our album will be impossible, because all of them are perfect. I get chills every time I go through them, and I can't begin to count the amount of compliments we've received.
Finally, Christy & James are so professional, responsive and easy to work with; whether it be checking in regularly, answering questions/emails immediately (with so many thoughtful details), sending surprise gifts, editing/photoshopping photos to perfection, the list goes on and on. They also donate a portion of their weddings to Paws!! They are such genuine people who love capturing important moments, and I will be recommending them to every future bride or mama-to-be. Christy and James are truly the best of the best! You are lucky to share these moments with them. -

Heather Sent on 03/01/2022Unbelievably happy with the photos!
Christy & James were so easy to work with during the entire planning process, offering recommendations and professional opinions on timing and location of photos. On the wedding day, both Christy and James were a calming, friendly presence and captured not only beautiful posed photos, but some amazing candids that really captured the joy and excitement of the day! Really amazing couple to work with! -

Best Wedding Photographers!
Working with Christy & James was one of the best decisions of our wedding - words cannot describe our incredible experience!
Our wedding & engagement photos were a DREAM! They captured so many special moments, and everything turned out beautifully!
My husband typically hates taking photos but Christy & James put him at ease and he actually enjoyed it. They are so sweet and fun to work with! They truly love what they do.
They were very flexible with dates, schedules, outfit changes, and were super responsive. They were also very thorough in ensuring they were exceeding our expectations and capturing the types of photos we wanted (including champagne toasts, confetti tosses & glitter bombs). Christy sent super detailed schedules and helped guide our day of schedule along with our coordinator and DJ. They were also very timely on both occasions, including our destination wedding in Michigan.
We received our photos very quickly after each event, including sneak peeks right away and the full album in record time compared to our many friends and family members who got married around us. We received over 1000 beautiful wedding photos that were organized for easy posting & sharing. Christy also writes the cutest blog posts for each occasion that you can share, plus lots of social posts.
They sent us special surprises throughout the two years we worked together, which was so sweet! Especially how they delivered our photos in the end!
We cannot wait to work with them again for every future occasion! We couldn’t be happier! -

Christy is a fabulous photographer and a true master of her craft! Her authenticity and warmth shine through and she is an absolute joy to work with! She has a great eye and catches the "emotion" of a moment so well -- I can't stop looking at the pictures from my wedding day. My husband and I are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Christy seamlessly directed and helped us.
Not only do we get SO many compliments on our photos, but everyone in our wedding party spoke of how great Christy and James are. On our wedding day, Christy and James worked flawlessly together as a team to capture both posed and candid shots that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We can't wait to work with Christy again for our future photos! -

Lauren N. Sent on 11/19/2021Beautiful photos - personalized support and care
I cannot say enough amazing things about this vendor. The owner, Christy, is wonderful to work with - she's responsive, caring, understanding, flexible and (of course) most importantly an amazing photographer and business owner.
We booked CTP in June 2019 for our August 2020 wedding. CTP came as a recommendation from 2 previous colleagues. The booking and proposal process was easy to decide on with Christy's help and guidance. She is very genuine and upfront about what she'll provide and what to expect with her services - you know you're getting the right price for the right services. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, we had to postpone our wedding 9 months to the following May 2021. It was a difficult decision - Christy truly understood and empathized what we were going through while needing to postpone, rebook, cut/change the guest list, etc. She helped us hold everything together, I'm sure while working to maintain her own business during those uncertain times. Due to postponing, we had to move our ceremony time up, change the ceremony location, and rework a few other details - all things that Christy was able to follow along and switch up with no issues.
The best part about CTP is that you get to know and love Christy while you await your big day. From the check-ins, emails, engagement shoot, and personalized texts, Christy always made sure that we felt we were the most important client-couple to her. The second best thing about Christy is her partner - James. We had the duo photographing us for our big day (we booked CTP knowing we wanted two shooters to make sure no special moment was missed). The amount of jokes and laughter that James had for us was so spot-on for keeping us and our bridal party entertained and happy for our very long day.
We couldn't be happier with our choice to have CTP memorialize our special day. Your big day only lasts a few hours, but a picture lasts a lifetime. Our pictures are unbelievably stunning and we couldn't be happier with them. -

Sydney S. Sent on 02/22/2021Hire immediately :)
Christy and James photographed our wedding in October 2020 and I have literally hundreds of reasons to hire Christy and James IMMEDIATELY - each reason lives in our online photo gallery! We cherish every single photo they captured of our special day. Every time I log onto our wedding gallery I discover a new favorite photo, even 4 months later. They are professionals from start to finish. Christy is easy to communicate with and gets back to you thoroughly and quickly. They brought equipment for every lighting scenario and just really floored us with their professionalism the day of, let alone the gorgeous photographs they captured. The quality of each photo is unreal. I received our photo gallery super fast, which could be because of the timing of the pandemic regarding weddings/gatherings but I was very surprised how fast we received everything.
Christy did our engagement photo session as well, which I really recommend because it's a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera. Christy is so professional and knows exactly how to direct you into poses that look natural and result in an entire gallery of photos that are each unique and perfectly framed. I don't know how she does it! She truly has a gift and you can tell how much she enjoys her job. Her personality is perfect for the job - I immediately feel at ease with her.
Both Christy and James photographed our wedding and they worked so hard the entire day; I felt very confident knowing they were capturing candid moments as well as the list of photos I requested. I have no idea when they took breaks because they were shooting all day and night! The photography was the most important decision for us, since we had a small wedding due to the pandemic we needed to be confident that we would have amazing photos to share with our friends and family who wouldn't be there. They delivered on every single item. It was also important to us that our vendors take COVID-19 precautions very seriously and we felt very comfortable with them.
From our initial email exchanges and phone calls, to the warmest texts, to unexpected gifts and bonus wedding prints and ongoing communication even months later, these guys are the real deal. Every time I look at my photo gallery I discover a new photo! They go above and beyond and truly I would base my wedding date around their availability. We are lifelong customers!Christy Tyler Photography's reply:
Sydney & Todd - THANK YOU!! This brought me to tears! What an honor it was to capture your love story! -

Brittney R. Sent on 03/25/2020Christy & James are the ABSOLUTE Best
I started following Christy and James on Instagram and fell in love with them and their work years before I was engaged. In particular, I loved the fact their their photos were so natural and unfiltered.
When the time came to start planning our wedding I was starting from scratch on finding virtually all our vendors aside from the photographers. I knew I wanted to use Christy Tyler Photography and they were the very first wedding related email I sent out and from there I essentially planned the date around making sure they could be our photographers.
From the very start I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed. Leading up to the big day they sent sweet gifts and notes, were flexible and SO knowledgeable. What I appreciated most during the preparation process were the tips they provided around how to structure our day, how much time we’d want to devote to certain things, etc. This was seriously invaluable and led to such a seamless day.
On the wedding day, they were just rockstars. They kept everything running on time, got along with everyone and were just all around great.
After the wedding we had a sneak peak within a few days which was greatly appreciated, had the full gallery quickly, and had them take lead on the entire wedding album process.
Christy and James are worth every cent. You’ll get timeless, natural, and cozy photos of your day and so much more.Christy Tyler Photography's reply:
Thank you so much, Brittney!! We love you both and are so thankful you started following us all those years ago!! :) XOXO!! -

My family and I are so happy with the photos Christy and James took at my wedding. Leading up to the wedding we had many changes - it started as an elopement but slowly blossomed into a full blown wedding - but the Tylers were flexible and easygoing. Christy was very attentive via email and extremely organized. The photos that they captured on my wedding day were absolutely stunning. They had a great mix of more formal/structured photos, candids and detail shots. I am so very happy with their work and grateful James and Christy agreed to take us on as clients. I would recommend them a million times over! -

Our wedding day went beyond both of our expectations, and Christy & James were such a vital part of making that happen.
First story I want to share: It gently rained on our wedding day, and the temperature was in the low 50's. It would annoy anybody, but all we got from Christy & James was positivity and joy. Christy at the time of the wedding was about a month away from having another child, but she was bouncing around and taking pictures like she was an Olympian! Our families had their jaws dropped, watching this super-mom's raw energy. I feel this really speaks to her tremendous character and how much she truly cares about her clients.
Second story: We consistently felt Christy's kindness by all the little gifts that showed up for us in the mail, along with sweet notes! We never expected to receive anything from her, so it was quite a delight to see these thoughtful gifts show up in the mail. A month or so before the wedding, my now-wife and I were stressed about planning, work, grad-school exams, and moving. I had just come home from a bad day at work, and my now-wife was frantically writing a paper ahead of time so she could relax on our wedding weekend. A card showed up from Christy in the mail, and in it was a gift card along with a note to "Take a night to yourselves, don't talk about the wedding at all, and remember why you are together". It was the most perfect timing, and we sat there feeling overwhelmed with gratitude.
If we had to do it all over again, I would choose Christy as the photographer every time. We paid for pictures, but received so much more than that and were delighted every step of the way. Christy, we love you and your family, and we hope to stay in touch in the coming years! Thank you for such an amazing experience!! -

Jennifer Sent on 12/04/2015I can't say enough amazing things about the perfect photographer duo that is Christy and James! I knew from the second we had our first meeting with Christy that she was going to capture my wedding day exactly the way I wanted. Her photography style is out of this world and our day went off without a hitch and we got all the photos we wanted plus more!
Her and James are the perfect pair and worked so diligently to capture all the right moments. Not to mention all the while she is carrying twins in her belly but making sure every shot is perfect! Such a rock star!
During the planning process Christy was always attentive to answering my emails in a day or less. She made me feel like we were best friends instead of just another hired vendor and bride.
The photos I've seen already I can't stop looking at and I am certain that when we get all of our photos back I will be incapacitated for a week just to go through them over and over again! Your wedding day goes by in a flash and I love that I will be able to look back at my photos and savor every moment of that special day because of the crazy talent my photographer has!!
You'll always have a special place in my heart for being apart of such an important time in my life (and Tim's)!

They are down to earth and professional all at the same time. They were much better than any larger company we could have worked with. Thank you!Christy Tyler Photography's reply:
