    Best engagement photographer in the city!

    Tyler photographed my proposal while we were visiting NYC and my fiancée and I couldn't be happier with the results. Tyler was excellent at communicating throughout the booking and session and even helped me choose the perfect spot to pop the question. On top of that, his photos from the session are wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to him again for any other engagement/wedding related photography in the future.

    A rarity in today's day and age

    I would recommend Scratch Studios NY (SSNY) to anybody looking to find the highest level of both, quality AND care. I would like to preface this by saying that I had no part in the research/contracting process of SSNY. My fiancé found out about SSNY via Reddit, and was floored to see how many amazing reviews they had on that platform. He was immediately sold, and after their initial communications, even more-so. My fiancé says that everything with SSNY was flawless! From the first communication, down to the actual planning of our proposal, he could not have had a better experience. Like those Reddit users, we can now testify that you will NOT regret hiring SSNY for absolutely any event. I got engaged on a Saturday at 4:30(ish) PM and had a sneak-peek gallery with edited pictures (ready to download) in my inbox by 6:30 PM the same day. I got my entire album of engagement photos by the following Tuesday (i.e., less than 4 days later). That is UNHEARD of. And it is needless to say that the quality of our photos (in terms of lighting, spacing, angles, and creative vision) are absolutely breath-taking. The lead photographer (Tyler) was professional, kind, and so easy to be around. I couldn't have chosen a better stranger to share such a special and intimate moment with us. He made us feel like we had known him for years! Like he was our friend who just so happened to be taking our engagement pictures... Thank you Tyler and SSNY for your commitment to capturing beautiful, captivating, priceless photographs. And for making the experience so seamless and magical for those on the other side of the camera.

    Incredible Proposal Weekend!

    I hired Tyler and Scratch Studios to capture my proposal. Needless to say, he was nothing short of amazing!

    The weekend threw us for several loops with weather and a last-second location change. Each step of the way, Tyler was incredibly flexible, thoughtful, and communicative. In addition to capturing fantastic photos, Tyler went above and beyond in making the weekend incredibly special for my fiance and me. We are very grateful for Tyler and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer to capture a special moment. If we could give him six stars, we would!

    Seamless & Perfect from Start to Finish

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Tyler who beautifully captured the unforgettable moment of my proposal in New York's Central Park. From the outset, the entire process was nothing short of amazing. Tyler was not only incredibly skilled but also made the experience easy and enjoyable. His communication throughout the planning and execution was outstanding, ensuring that every detail was considered. The resulting photos surpassed all expectations, perfectly encapsulating the magic of the moment. I am immensely grateful for his talent and professionalism, and I highly recommend Tyler to anyone seeking a photographer for a special occasion.

    Working with Tyler was amazing!

    I'm so happy that I found Scratch Studios and Tyler to help capture my proposal! I first contacted Tyler a couple months before I was going to propose, and I was so impressed with his prompt responses. I'm not from the NYC area, but that's where I was planning to propose. Tyler was so helpful in suggesting possible proposal locations. On the day of the proposal, he was so helpful with coordinating everything to make sure I would be able to locate where he was. Tyler was so easy to work with while taking photos and he made us feel super comfortable and confident the whole time. We were so happy with how the photos of the proposal came out, and also the portraits we took after the proposal. He created a preview album for us that same day! Only 3 days later, we got the full album and were blown away with the photos! Highly recommend Scratch Studios to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Found on Reddit: Best decision I could have made

    I reached out to Tyler from Scratch Studios after searching for a NY proposal photographer and finding some exceptional reviews on a Reddit thread. Tyler couldn't have made our proposal more special! He made the experience so easy to plan (especially with me being from Minnesota and the proposal happening in NYC), and the proposal shots + the post-proposal images he took afterwards looked phenomenal. Couldn't recommend Scratch Studios enough!

    100/10 Recommend!

    Tyler was the most professional, easygoing, and kind photographer we could have imagined. He was very knowledgable about the best photo opportunities, and worked with the Rockafeller Center security to get some exclusive access for photos. Tyler also shared such excitement with us, which was refreshing and really added to the moment. Cannot recommend working with Tyler enough!!

    Amazing Experience

    My husband and I did a wedding portrait session with Tyler in Central Park and Top of the Rock. It was a long, gruelling 3 hour session but Tyler was an absolute pleasure throughout. He gave great directions on poses, was incredibly flexible with all the locations and finally came out with a amazing gallery of edited photos within a week of the shoot. We are especially happy with the variety and sheer quantity of edited shots we got back. Tyler is also amazing at capturing cute, candid shots - we couldn't be happier that we chose him to capture our very special moment!

    Beautiful, Vibrant, and Authentic Wedding Photos with Tyler of Scratch Studios

    It's easy to get overwhelmed by the number of photographers in NYC, but you cannot go wrong with Tyler of Scratch Studios!

    We were drawn to Tyler's vibrant photos and approach to capture authentic and candid moments. Within a minute of our initial call, Tyler already had us smiling and laughing; we knew he could bring out the best in us in front of a camera. On the call, Tyler answered all of our questions thoroughly and addressed our concerns. It was an easy decision to book Tyler for our wedding.

    Tyler was so accommodating with our engagement shoot. He ensured that we could get photos with our dog near our home and made the time so that we were able to relocate and shoot all over Dumbo. We had a lot of fun working with Tyler - he had so much positive energy, hyped us up, and gave great direction while letting us be ourselves.

    On our wedding day, Tyler was incredibly professional, efficient, and friendly. The energy he brought was exactly like our engagement shoot, even though the day was much longer. Tyler kept us in great spirits, ensured that we got all of the photos on our shot list, and skillfully directed our family photos of 15-20 individuals.

    Tyler was quick to edit and send us previews/return our photos to us. We know that this is a point of pride for Tyler and he truly delivers!

    We absolutely love our photos - from the candids to the detail shots to our couples portraits. We cannot wait to get the rest of our wedding photos back; the preview we got already evokes the love, joy, and support we felt on our wedding day. Thank you, Tyler, for beautifully capturing memories that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

    Stunning Proposal Photos

    Tyler was phenomenal to work with and we love our photos! Before the proposal, I spoke with him over the phone and told him my vision. He was able to give me advice and ideas to make sure we had less tourists in the background, some privacy, and a stunning view. He was so efficient during the post proposal photoshoot, had great pose ideas for us, got us a preview gallery in a couple hours, and made us feel really comfortable during the shoot. We absolutely love the quality and composition of our photos of this special moment. We will definitely look back at them forever!

    Amazing Experience

    Tyler was super responsive from the minute I contacted his company. I decided on a surprise Central Park proposal. We had a quick phone-call to go over the details and when the day came he was there ahead of schedule waiting for me to pop the question. Affordable but did not compromise quality as the photos came out wonderful. I would recommend his services to anyone in search of a professional photographer.

    Best Photographer Ever

    I attended a wedding that Tyler shot and instantly knew that was our photographer whenever we got married. So you better believe I made sure he was available before I secured my venue! And I am SO SO glad we had him there to capture our special day. Not only are our photos stunning, like actually unbelievably perfect, but Tyler’s demeanor and vibe on our day was perfect as well. He gets the job done but in a way that keeps it fun and stress free. And you better believe when it comes to the dance floor, he is everywhere! Our guests still keep talking about how amazing our photographer was, and we couldn’t agree more. He was super helpful leading up to the day as well, which made it all run smoother as it was happening. I wish we could have another wedding just to have Tyler photograph us again!

    Celebrating Love Across Continents: Tyler's Talents Illuminate Our International Elopement Adventure!

    We had the absolute pleasure of partnering with Tyler for our international elopement, and it's safe to say he made our special day even more extraordinary. From the moment we connected with Tyler all the way across the pond in Ireland, his unwavering support and genuine excitement for our celebration were palpable.

    Navigating through my ambitious vision for our photo locations, Tyler seamlessly guided us with his expertise, ensuring we felt neither rushed nor overwhelmed. Meeting him in person solidified our belief that we had found the perfect photographer for us. Tyler wasn't just behind the lens; he became our hype man, our reassuring presence (yes, even doubling as our security guard!), and, of course, our invaluable witness to our ceremony.

    His talent truly shone through as he captured the essence of who we are as a couple, effortlessly guiding us through poses that felt natural and authentic. Tyler's infectious enthusiasm throughout the session had us eagerly anticipating the magic he was creating with each click of his camera.

    To our delight, Tyler's turnaround time exceeded all expectations, with a delightful sneak peek of our photos delivered within a mere 24 hours. If you're seeking a photographer who seamlessly blends professionalism with a laid-back demeanor, who can effortlessly crack a joke while expertly capturing your most cherished moments, then Tyler is undoubtedly your guy.

    Tyler, we can't thank you enough for your exceptional work. Your talent is truly unparalleled, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with you. Highly recommended doesn't even begin to cover it—Tyler is simply phenomenal!

    Couldn't be happier!

    My partner and I took a trip to NYC and we got engaged. In the lead up to the special weekend, I had found Tyler's portfolio and immediately knew that our special weekend needed to be captured by them. Tyler was very accommodating with their busy schedule and we managed to coordinate our engagement photoshoot the day after. Leading up to the photoshoot, we were excited but also nervous, as we are not used to having our photos taken in this capacity. Thankfully, Tyler made our experience comfortable and enjoyable with their inclusiveness and personability.

    Not only did we have an amazing time during our shoot, but Tyler was able to capture our special moment with a professional, artistic quality that we absolutely loved. The photos turned out amazing and Tyler was very courteous, providing a few quick edits to share friends and family subsequent to the shoot. The final edits were unbelievable, and Tyler has gone above and beyond to ensure we were 100% satisfied with our photos.

    If you are looking for a friendly, professional and talented photographer, I would highly recommend considering Tyler. We are so glad that we did!

    Booked BEFORE My Venue!

    If you're reading this, thank you for considering Scratch Studios for your wedding day. I've known Tyler since college, well over a decade, and I've waited that long to hire him as my photographer for my wedding. His passion and talent for photography has grown over the years to such heights that I cannot be prouder of him. He deserves every award. If you're a bride like me, with a vision of your photography to be VIBRANT and CANDID, instead of moody, dramatic, and sepia toned, then look no further because this is it. Tyler captured our wedding the way I'd always pictured in my mind, but seeing it now through his lens, it's everything I've ever wanted. I'm obsessed with my entire album, I'm finding it hard to choose my favorites because they ALL are. His photos are bright, colorful, and capture every single moment of my wedding day perfectly. Stop searching for a photographer, I promise you, you found him.

    Best decision we made!

    We could not say enough wonderful things about Tyler! From our first conversation to our engagement shoot, to our wedding, Tyler was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional, and put us both at ease. He helped us talk through our wedding timeline, our shot list, and our first look locations, always ready to hear our ideas and contribute his own. Tyler’s posed photos look relaxed, genuine, and natural, and his candids captured everything from large, energetic memories to small, intimate moments. He worked so well with our guests that we had family and friends gushing about him days after the wedding. Every photo we received is gorgeous and his passion for his craft shines through each one. If you want photos to cherish for years to come, hire Tyler!

    Highly recommend scratch studios!

    We are so happy with our wedding photos from September 2023 - they came out incredible! Tyler is friendly, professional, and very responsive (like within a few minutes responsive). He also got our photos to us quickly and was open to feedback. He made our guests and family feel comfortable and captured all of our special moments throughout the day, both big and small. We did an engagement session with him as well and he travelled about 4 hours to shoot with us. We’ve never had professional photos done before that and were a bit nervous, but Tyler made the experience quick and easy. We highly recommend Tyler.

    Amazing! Perfect!

    We knew that Tyler was going to be an excellent choice from the moment we received his first email. We had a number of had a number of questions for him and he not only answered them in writing but took the time to pull photos from his portfolio to demonstrate his expertise in the areas we were curious about. Following this email exchange we had a video call during which Tyler completely won us over with his excitement and enthusiasm for our vision and love of his craft. After the call we scheduled an engagement shoot with Tyler and to say we were impressed is an understatement. His eye for framing and color and contrast as well as his direction and energy results in breathtaking engagement photos. When we got the photos back we were beyond excited to have him as our wedding photographer.

    Leading up to the wedding, Tyler was integral in the scheduling of the day. He helped us to fine tune and keep pace for our couple, bridal party and family pictures. His experience allowed us to schedule a near flawless day. On the day of we were prevented from shooting at our selected first look location and not only did Tyler bring the calm energy we needed he instantly found another eye popping location nearby and you would never know that it wasn’t our original desires first look location. He not only made us feel amazing throughout the day, he made everyone he photographed feel that way. He brought such warmth and joy in addition to his incredible talent.

    When we got the pictures from our wedding we were COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY. Tyler perfectly captured the emotions of the day in the most stunning way possible. There was a lot of variety in the locations and poses of shots. We had a diverse wedding party and guest list and regardless of size, shape or complexion he made everyone look fantastic. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Tyler and the photographs we got. BOOK TYLER NOW!
