Zach Sent on 05/10/2025New York City Proposal
I spent months planning an engagement for my girlfriend in New York City. Because we have often had photographers help us take photos on trips, I thought I could pull off having a photographer help with the proposal. I saw a lot of positive feedback on various discussion boards about Tyler and Scratch Studios, and reached out to him.
He immediately started sharing ideas on the best locations, helped me frame the background I am looking for, and plan the entire route. He helped give me advice on clothing and even setup a code word for me to know the perfect moment to propose.
On the day of the proposal, I was very nervous and Tyler immediately put me at ease, and made my girlfriend extremely relaxed and excited about the experience. He was patient, never rushed us, and in the end gave us the best pictures we have ever taken together. On the day of, he sent us a LOT of pictures to immediately start sharing with friends and family.
I could not imagine having anyone else capture one of the most important events of our lives and am very thankful I found Tyler. My fiancé considered that the best trip of her life, and her favorite pictures. We will definitely be likely to fly Tyler in for our wedding. -

Tyler is hands down the easiest and best choice we made for our wedding. He is professional, easy to work with, responsive, and most importantly extremely talented.
He made us feel so comfortable from start of our engagement pictures to the very last shot of our wedding. All of the pictures are even better than we could have imagined!! -

We did a one hour elopement photo shoot with Tyler in Central Park and had the best experience! My husband and I had never done a photo shoot before and generally don't love taking photos, and Tyler made us feel at ease instantly. He had a route in mind to get the best shots and was very efficient at getting the shots and moving on to the next location. We winded up having a blast during the shoot and didn't want it to end. We got the full album back in 1 week turnaround. Throughout the process Tyler was very quick to respond, and delivered exactly what we were looking for for our shoot. Don't hesitate to book Tyler for your photoshoot needs! -

If we could give more stars, we would! Tyler was amazing to work with on our special day. He captured every moment and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera. He knew all the right locations and poses so that we got every shot that we wanted. He was also available to answer our questions and his turnaround for our photo gallery was unmatched. We can't recommend him enough! -

Brett Sent on 10/10/2024Tyler is the best
I used Tyler for our proposal photos, and he was so great, that we then used him for Engagement photos and our wedding. He is a pleasure to work with, responsive, knowledgeable, and has always guided us to the best pictures. He also has turned around our pictures, and edited them so perfectly, in a pretty fast time. Working with him was a pleasure and he made our photos better and our day better because of that. -

I was surprised during our proposal that my fiancé hired Tyler to capture the moment as well as a small shoot afterwards. He worked with my fiancé to be at the right spot ahead of time and was inconspicuous while he waited. Tyler was incredibly kind and a joy to work with, making the "silly rom-com" moments feel less awkward and encouraging the romance of a newly engaged couple. He also has a great eye and is meticulous in the details, without being pushy. I cannot thank him enough for the stunning photos and being a part of such a special moment for us! -

April Sent on 08/18/2024Look no further, your dream wedding photographer is here!
Truly can't picture our wedding day without Tyler. He was a JOY to work with, super creative, and had a really good understanding of what would make the best shot, but also wasn't pushy/annoying in pursuit of getting it.
You spend so much of your wedding day with your photographer, you want to like them. We genuinely loved being around him because he was able to 'read the room' in any given scenario. Our photos turned our better than we could imagine. Would be happy to answer any questions about our experience if you're on the fence. Scratch studios is the best! -

Josh Sent on 07/22/2024Talented, responsive, accomodating photographer for our proposal!
We're so glad we picked Tyler to capture our proposal. He was super responsive from the start, and his experience was very helpful for giving tips to make sure the proposal went off without any issues. He went above and beyond, showing up early to scope out the area for photo spots, and the photos from our post-proposal mini session were incredible - we'd definitely work with him again! -

Kimberly Sent on 05/13/2024Beautiful, 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! -

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. -

Gabriel Sent on 01/06/2024Best 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. -

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!! -

Christine Sent on 11/26/2023Booked 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. -

Brad Sent on 09/15/2023Simply the BEST
Stop your search right now and hire Tyler - he is INCREDIBLE!! He was recommended to us by several different friends and we could not be happier with everything he's done for us. He is the consummate professional and his photos are extraordinary.
Firstly, Tyler is a dream to work with. From the first consultation to the delivery of the final product, his energy is so enjoyable to be around. He is full of positive, fun enthusiasm; he makes the special moments feel even more special. You can tell he truly loves what he does and his spirit is wonderfully contagious.
Second, Tyler is a true artist when it comes to capturing every moment in the best way possible. We cannot believe how AMAZING our photos turned out! He is creative, thoughtful, and inspiring in the way he finds the perfect shot every time. What really stood out to us are the REAL moments he captured. He is so good at helping to create and then catching true emotion. We had so many beautiful experiences throughout the photoshoots; it felt like we had a friend by our side. He's also extremely versatile in his style of photography. Our waterside engagement shoot with him got rained out and so he quickly pivoted with us and we ended up shooting around our apartment complex in LIC, which changed the vibe of the shoot entirely and we COULDN'T BE HAPPIER with what we ended up with. We now have these glamorous, industrial, chic engagement shots which are the perfect compliment to our dreamy, sun-soaked island wedding photographs.
Lastly, he was so fast in delivering our previews and then the full albums on both occasions we worked with him. Every photo is beautifully edited and organized with easy-to-navigate headings; it's incredible how quickly he delivered such a quality product. A note on the editing: we LOVE the way Tyler touches up each photo to make it look its BEST. We've seen so many photographers who punch up the brightness and colors which make the final photos look unrealistic and even washed out. Not Tyler, he beautifully edits his photos to make them pop, but they look real and absolutely stunning.
Please look no further than Tyler at Scratch Studios for professional photography that is guaranteed to leave you beyond satisfied with the process and photos. Thank you Tyler for capturing our big life moments so beautifully; we'll cherish that forever. -

Rebecca Sent on 08/06/2023Our photos are everything. Tyler is incredible. Best decision we made.
Tyler shot our July elopement in Prospect Park. Every time my partner and I talk about our ceremony, we talk about how absolutely stupid lucky we were that Tyler was our photographer. He was simply the best. He was ultra-professional, responsive, easy-going, and warm. He gave great direction and masterfully worked through our many group shot requests—and our families loved him! And of course, the most important thing—the fantastic photos!!! I normally hate photos of myself, but I am *obsessed* with these. He captured our day and our relationship in a way I never anticipated was possible. To say these surpassed our expectations is an understatement. We give Tyler and Scratch Studios the strongest possible recommendation. Thank you Tyler!! -

Paul Sent on 07/02/2023Above and beyond
Tyler was a pleasure to work with — he was responsive, professional, flexible, and most importantly did a beautiful job with our photos. He was great with our families and kids, and did a great job with posed photos and candids alike. He even offered to help us during the planning process with questions that had nothing to do with photography at all, giving us guidance based on his wedding experiences. That willingness to go above and beyond makes all the difference. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience of working with him and with his shots of our special day! -
![Francesca]()
Francesca Sent on 05/16/2023Amazing Experience with Scratch Studios
My husband and I used Scratch Studios for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. Tyler is an absolute pleasure to work with. We feel so lucky and fortunate to have found him! Being a type A person and very execution oriented Tyler instantly made me feel comfortable and confident in his abilities and level of professionalism. Tyler was not only prompt and quick on his replies but he was also extremely proactive with his communication making sure he always texted/called/emailed when we either had time with him or he wanted us to start thinking about next steps for our wedding timeline. Tyler also worked very well with all of our other vendors and wedding staff which was wonderful. Besides his high level of professionalism Tyler was also extremely friendly, fun, flexible and creative. Tyler went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I felt comfortable during the engagement shoot and on our wedding day. He was so friendly with all of our friends and family as well and made sure we are all always happy and made us laugh. Tyler was also very accommodating and welcoming to our dog Marco being a part of our shoots and was so loving towards him. In terms of flexibility Tyler was always open to working around our busy schedules and come to us super early to beat the summer heat. On our wedding day he came before we asked him to arrive and paid close attention to details. He scheduled intake calls with us for both shoots and asked all the important questions that made us feel confident going into the shoots. Lastly in regards to creativity Tyler always presented fun, unique, classic and heartwarming ides for us in our photos and even details for our wedding day. His photo style is so bright and cheerful and helped us all look our best! I highly recommend Tyler for your photography needs and I hope we get to work with him again! Thank you Tyler! -

Simply put, Tyler was amazing. After reaching out via email, he immediately made me feel at ease with his prompt responses and positive attitude. We collaborated on the proposal logistics, and his attention to detail based on his passion for photography as well as his extensive experience really helped put my mind at ease. During the big day, he showed up early, captured the proposal, and then guided my fiancee and me through a variety of poses that came out beautifully. I have absolutely no regrets and will look to use him again for our engagement photos. Thank you Tyler for making my proposal such an overwhelming success. -

Kristi Sent on 01/09/2023Tyler is the best!
My husband and I got married on Sept 30, 2022. We had the best experience working with Tyler. He was always super prompt with responding to emails and/or texts. The photos/gallery were available very quickly after the wedding. This was very much appreciated as some of our friends told us they had issues with their photographers not sharing the gallery in a timely manner. Tyler sent us a few photos the same day we got married and it was such a nice treat to be in the moment and see how it was documented (so beautifully). Tyler was very flexible and helpful with the wedding day events timeline. If we have the opportunity to work with him, we will definitely do so. -
