I could not recommend Tyler and Scratch Studios more. He is so incredibly talented and absolutely amazing to work with. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day he made the entire process stress free and our photos could not have turned out better. He is organized, responsive and easy to work with. You will not be disappointed.
When looking for photographers for my proposal, I prioritized people whose experience shooting queer couples felt natural and inclusive. I am so happy I booked Tyler. He was incredibly knowledgable, quick to respond (and send the photos!), and open to all of my questions + ideas. We have never had professional photos taken, but he managed to make us feel very comfortable throughout the shoot. On top of it all, we are so happy with how the photos turned out. I would highly recommend. Thank you, Tyler!
I can't tell you how much I truly adored Tyler. He was the perfect vendor. We we lucky enough to have both our engagement photos and wedding photos done with him. The quick turnaround, previews, professionalism, and energy Tyler brought to every event was unmatched. My husband and I have never taken a photo together we liked, and forewarned Tyler about our awkwardness in front of a camera. The photos we got back after both engagement photos and wedding photos, are my absolute favorite photos. Tyler made us feel so comfortable and found poses and environments that fit us as a couple. Our wedding guests still talk about how perfect Tyler was getting ALL our photos done beforehand and making even the little ones smile in group photos. If there is one vendor from my wedding I would wish everyone could work with. My favorite photographer, vendor, and part of the wedding day. Could not recommend Tyler anymore.
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!
Tyler was amazing! He captured every millisecond of the moment (to make sure you have options) and then took us around the area to take romantic pictures. He'll help guide you with poses and is great at capturing the nature around you. Super professional while being easy to talk to. Quick turnaround. Every photo looks incredible. We highly recommend!
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!!
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!
We were very lucky to have had Tyler photograph our wedding. He's a great photographer and truly captured the joy of the day. Tyler is very pleasant to work with and it was like having a friend take photos of our wedding. He also delivered the photos ahead of the expected schedule. Highly recommended.
The entire experience with Tyler was wonderful! He was extremely responsive and accommodating and was open to all ideas. He made us feel really comfortable throughout the photo shoot. We got not only our previews on the same day but the final edits as well! The photos came out incredible. thank And he made sure we knew that at any point we can ask him to re-edit any photos. Thanks Tyler for capturing our special day!
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!
I cannot say enough good things about Scratch Studios and Tyler. He is the BEST photographer and person. He was so communicative and detail-oriented with everything leading up to our wedding, and he made the day of go absolutely seamlessly. He was professional, kind, efficient and organized. He was so prepared and got through our extensive photo list SO quickly. He's also so creative and gets the best shots. All of his photos are amazing. Highly highly recommend!!
Hiring Tyler as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we could have made in wedding planning. He is an amazing photographer and he took the most gorgeous photos of our wedding day that we will cherish forever. On top of that he is the such a nice guy and really makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was also a really great help to us when we were putting together the timeline for our wedding day. We had no idea where to start and he spent a hour on the phone with us mapping out the day. We got married at the River cafe and he knew all the best spots in the Dumbo area to go for pictures before the ceremony, where to do the first look, etc.
We also did an engagement shoot with Tyler before the wedding and are obsessed with how those photos turned out as well. We truly could not recommend Tyler more - he is simply the best!
Scratch Studios / Tyler was an excellent choice! He was very professional, arriving early to help set up a surprise engagement photo shoot. He was extremely kind and helpful and allowed us to have a moment to savor the proposal. Tyler agreed to take photos in in multiple locations near our apartment and delivered the sneak peak photos within hours of the shoot. He delivered dozens of high-quality photos and quickly provided black and white / color versions of our requested images. I would highly recommend Scratch Studios / Tyler for your photography needs
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!
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!
Hire Tyler right now to be your engagement and / or wedding photographer. From day 1 Tyler was professional and flexible, and incredibly responsive, getting back to us via email or phone usually within a day! Tyler took the time to ask thoughtful questions and explain his approach to make sure we were a good match. We hired Tyler for our wedding pictures and got an engagement shoot as well. He allayed all fears about weather, back up plans, timing, locations, and offered calm solutions for everything. During the actual engagement and formal wedding pictures he made posing a breeze! My (now) husband is a little camera shy and Tyler made it so fun and easy and COMFORTABLE! We felt like we were just hanging out with a friend! I can not speak enough to how smoothly wedding day pictures went. I provided a timeline and shot list, which Tyler carefully reviewed, and he made it all happen! He kept us on time and the day running smoothly, and captured every picture on our shot list! You can tell he's just a pro and thinks about what needs to happen next to keep the day moving. He was just such a good presence to have in the room because he really helped run the show and kept the energy fun! And our pictures?!?! We LOVE them. Both our engagement pictures and wedding pictured were turned around in record time in a super convenient gallery that's totally versatile and shareable, and he even offered to make edits on any pictures we wanted changed to black and white or color. Truly we could not be happier with the results and are so happy we have these pictures of the day to look back on. I feel so confident recommending Tyler because the entire experience was just above and beyond!!
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!
I would 100% recommend Scratch Studios for any photography! My fiance hired Tyler for his proposal and engagement photos afterward. The pictures are beautiful, and Tyler genuinely felt like a friend which made us comfortable during photos!
Tyler was very helpful, he responded immediately after I reached out. He was very proactive in helping make everything happen. He made us feel comfortable and captured an unforgettable engagement.
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!
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!
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.
Tyler was much more than just our wedding photographer. He was one of the first ones we brought on to our team. And over time, he became one of our closest advisors, helping us think through timelines, venue layouts and everything in between.
When we first started looking for photographers, on top of talent, it was important to us to hire someone based on diversity and inclusiveness. It came down to Scratch Studios and one other vendor. So with the help of our friend (a NY Times designer), we picked the one who had the best use of lighting across different scenarios and just overall aesthetic. As a trial run, Tyler offered to do a shoot for us, and the three of us drove up to Storm King to recreate our engagement. We ended up enlarging the images from that day and used them to create a photo gallery wall at our wedding venue.
We cannot say enough how happy the whole experience working with Tyler was for us! Within a few days after our wedding, he sent over a gallery with a handful of highlights that pretty much looked like a finished product. And then after a couple weeks, we got the full, polished set. He captured so many great moments throughout our wedding weekend—not just of us, but of our guests too! We printed them and sent them out with our thank-you cards. Again, we cannot recommend Scratch Studios enough!
Tyler's adept photo editing skills truly shine, elevating the captured moments to a new level. His responsiveness not only made the process smooth but also showcased his commitment to delivering an excellent experience. I highly recommend Tyler for his outstanding work.
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.
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!
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 do it. 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 incredible! He made us feel very comfortable during our engagement pictures and was amazing to communicate with. We would highly recommend booking with him!
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!!
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!
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.
Tyler was wonderful to work with. From the get go, he was very responsive, thoughtful and helped make great suggestions for my engagement shoot. On the day-of, he made me feel completely at ease and was able to capture the day beautifully. Highly recommend him!!
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!
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!
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.
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!
We have been so lucky to choose Tyler!
Everything has been perfect, he is very professional and he made us feel at ease and let us enjoy the moment. 100% recommended
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.
I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt like sharing my experience with Scratch studios would help other couples. The first thing that caught my eye from looking at the photos on their website was the attention to detail, which was really important for me. Right from the start, Tyler (who owns the studio and photographs each wedding) was so open to hearing all my ideas, needs, and wants and then followed through on each of them. I’m assuming the studio services mostly Tristate surrounding areas, but he was able to work out my destination wedding in his schedule. Since he was unfamiliar with the area, he researched locations before our wedding day and surprised us with some hidden gems. I corresponded with about 10 photographers in Italy, but eventually decided that I wanted to go with someone who didn’t have “cookie cutter” poses and locations (I saw multiple shots on websites that looked like the couples were just copied and pasted into the same shot) and who felt fresh. Also, since I don’t speak tAdditionally, other photography studios I’ve worked with will hand some shoots off to assistants, so I was relieved to know that I was working with the same person from start to finish. Another thing I’ve experienced with other studios is being ghosted after the shoot and having no idea when your photos would be ready. Tyler was so communicative with his timeline and even updated me with a sneak peek album, which was so helpful for all my friends and family berating me for the pictures. All in all, my experience was truly 10/10.
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!!
Tyler was absolutely perfect - he was responsive and great communicator leading up to our day, left no question unanswered and helped me think through some of the details of my proposal. He arrived early and set up everything exactly as instructed (and then some) so I could keep things a surprise. He even calmed my nerves and gave me confidence that he had everything handled logistically so that I could focus on the big question. And this is all before even getting to the photographs themselves - which are are UNREAL! We have gotten so many amazing compliments on the photos. Tyler captured our special day perfectly, and if you are looking for a professional, communicative, kind, passionate, dedicated photographer, he is the one! Could not recommend him enough - hope to be able to work together soon and recommend to all of my friends.
Tyler is absolutely amazing! His work is beautiful and is a joy to work with. Very personal, friendly and awesome person. His dedication and joy for his work shows in his photos and his personality. I can not thank Tyler enough for everything!
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!
We had the privilege of working with Scratch Studios for both our engagement photos (in Brooklyn Heights, NYC) and for our wedding (in New Orleans). Tyler is unbelievably gifted - he understands how to incorporate your ideas, provide great ideas of his own, and make sure that you look your best in stunning surrounding. For our wedding, he was perfect in coordinating our wedding parties and families and made the day go seamlessly. In fact, everyone talked to us about what a joy it was to take photos with Tyler. Then, there are the photos: Tyler works effortlessly to capture every moment just right, and undertakes the editing process quickly to make sure you get your photos timely. We simply can't recommend him highly enough - snag him while you can because he's going to make your life infinitely easier and better!
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/e-mailed 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!
I can’t speak highly enough of Tyler! Not only are his photos so beautiful, but he is incredibly personable and down to earth as well. I’ve had friends whose photographers stressed them out on their wedding day, but Tyler was such a calming presence. He didn’t give us stiff directions or force us into unnatural poses, instead he just let us be ourselves while giving out occasional pointers or suggestions. As a result, our wedding photos (which he delivered SO quickly!) look incredibly natural, joyful, and beautiful. Tyler was also very helpful in building a timeline and talking through wedding ideas. He was so happy to be involved beyond solely photography.
I also highly recommend an engagement photoshoot with him. My husband and I were skeptical at first but the photos were amazing and it was a great way to get to know Tyler before the wedding. Tyler is truly the best!!
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.
Tyler made our wedding photo dreams come true. From the get go Tyler made me and my husband feel so comfortable and was helpful throughout the entire process. He took amazing photos that our family and friends can't stop complimenting us about! Tyler is thoughtful, easy to communicate and work worth. He will capture your day beautifully and made it fun along the way!
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!
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.
Tyler photographed both the moment my husband and I got engaged and the micro wedding ceremony we had in NYC. He was flexible and easy to work with when my husband was planning a surprise engagement, and captured great photos of the moment without being at all intrusive. On the wedding day, he was the perfect mix of professional and fun, and made us feel really comfortable. We love how he turned a simple NYC street into an amazing photography backdrop. Turnaround time for both was quick, and we love the photos from each of the days. Highly recommend!
When I planned this weekend trip to New York, I knew it was the perfect time and place to propose. Being the first time in New York in general, I wasn't sure where to go, but when I was directed to try Tyler (via Reddit) and after viewing his pages, I knew he was THE photographer I wanted. Tyler was friendly, responded quickly and made sure my needs were met with this trip. I cant express how relieved I was with how smoothly everything went, and with how accommodating Tyler was with the day and photos! Genuine person. Professional photographer. Thank you.
Tyler was the best photographer we could have asked for. We loved every picture he took, and he made everything simple and smooth from the beginning to the end. We loved the shots and appreciate your willingness to work with our vision and our 'enthusiastic' videographer and family members. Tyler's professionalism was of the highest quality, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to capture their special moments. Thank you!
Tyler from Scratch Studios was so incredible to work with for our engagement photos. From the second we sent an inquiry email, he had lightening fast responses and was so enthusiastic and excited. He was creative and flexible in the planning process, sharing ideas back and forth about shoot locations, and had an incredible eye for the best spots while we were shooting. My fiancé and I felt so comfortable during our shoot and had so much fun! And finally, the photos turned out beyond beautiful. Tyler captured light and angles perfectly and his vibrant editing is the cherry on top. Highly, highly recommend!!!!
Working with Tyler for our engagement shoot was the absolute best!! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and his creative eye for various shots and poses was incredible! We had so much fun and would absolutely recommend working with him.
Hiring Tyler to photograph our wedding reception was the best decision! He seriously knows what he is doing and is a true professional. From the start, Tyler was extremely responsive to our inquiry and I knew from our first meeting that he was organized & passionate about what he does. He was communicative & pro-active, making sure he was in contact with our planner and had the wedding timeline & shot list locked in well ahead of the day. Tyler was also very flexible, offering to show up a bit early & stay later on short notice.
On the wedding day, Tyler arrived right on time and got straight to work. Our bridal shoot was SO much fun and we loved that Tyler showed us sneak peeks of our shots live during the session. Once we got to family and friend portraits, he was totally on top of it, making sure all groups & individuals were accounted for. I appreciated the control & ownership he took to make sure this part was run efficiently AND thoroughly. During cocktail hour & the reception, Tyler somehow seemed to fade into the background while still capturing every detail of the evening!
We received sneak peeks from Tyler just days after the wedding and they absolutely blew us away. Once we received the final gallery, not long afterward, we had hundreds and hundreds of photos - from bridal shots to family/friends to details to reception - all categorized in a gorgeous, shareable online album. We could literally not be happier with how the photos came out, the colors & composition were exactly what we were looking for!
My husband and I cannot recommend Tyler enough - he is detailed, communicative, talented, kind and most importantly for us, FUN!! It was a joy working together and we definitely want to plan more shoots together in the future. THANK YOU!! <3
So thrilled Tyler was able to capture our perfect day. A skilled photographer who made the process of being in front of the camera very easy, Tyler was on his game and came up with a wide variety of shots that turned out gorgeous. He was quick to deliver prelim images we were able to share with our loved ones and the final edits in a beautiful album. We are so pleased and thankful to Tyler and highly recommend him as a photographer who delivers high quality photos while being professional and easy to work with! Thank you again Tyler !!
Tyler is a wonderful photographer and really responsive to capturing the different moods you ask for in your photo sessions. He also went above and beyond with a complimentary engagement session so you can familiarize yourself with shooting and get a sense of his style! Most importantly, he’s a great person who is always there for you before, during and after the wedding, and he makes everyone he shoots feel confident and at ease. His efficiency and turn around time cannot be beat, and he has a great sense of style and flair but will also listen to what you want and try things you suggest. We are very very happy we chose him to shoot our wedding :)
