Tylee Shay Photography

hip quality to her work that other photographers don't. She makes you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera! She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered above and beyond! Not only does she produce amazing work, but she produces it quickly! She clearly loves what she does and it shows. Her and her husband Gavin were an absolute dream to work with! I can't recommend her as a photographer enough. I hope to have her as my friend and photographer for all the other big moments in my life as well! 🥰

he immediately caught our vision and helped us grow on it through the whole process until we had our photos in hand after the wedding. Luke and I frequently talk about how we wish we lived closer so that we could be regular life friends with Tylee. Neither of us particularly enjoy being in front of a camera but Tylee’s ease coupled with the impeccable music playlist and the intentionality of all our locations felt so natural and every single one of our smiles and laughs was so genuine. With my husband being a photographer himself, the photos of our wedding were a top priority and she earned our complete trust so quickly. Tylee is a great communicator and is on top of making her business run smoothly while giving us such a personalized experience. There are SO MANY good things we could say about Tylee. Hiring her as our photographer was seriously one of our favorite things we did for our wedding. Tylee is a great communicator and is on top of making her business run smoothly while giving us such a personalized experience. When we looked at both our engagement photos and our wedding album for the first time, I just remember thinking “We look so in love.” Tylee was able to capture such beautiful moments between my husband and I and seeing ourselves from her perspective was so special. We just went through our album again, 8 months after our wedding, and all of the joy and excitement was so evident, we just kept saying “this looks like it was so fun!” When Tylee says that she takes wedding photos because she wants you to remember fifty years ago why you fell in love, I can totally see how she does. Tylee’s attention to her surroundings on the day allowed her to capture so many snippets so that we can go back and remember all those things we might not otherwise: a dance shared with a grandparent, a friend getting the party started, and all the details we put work into planning. And we can also remember exactly what we felt for each other on our wedding day because of Tylee. 100/10 recommend her every time!

She is so thoughtful, great at communicating, willing to help answer any questions you may have, and provide suggestions when needed for any other wedding things/vendors. Tylee makes your shoots relaxed and calm as she plays cute music in the background and provides you with different motions/actions to make the photos natural and not staged. My husband and I absolutely loved working with her and HIGHLY recommend every bride and groom to book her. I promise you will have no regrets. She is someone you can trust who will make all of dreams come to life!

it was all the small things she does - - buying your favorite drink, playing fun music during the photoshoot, surprising you with a cute gift, always reaching out if I needed help, etc. - - that show how much she cares. Tylee also has loads of incentive and helpful advice for her clients. My husband and I actually used it to help write our wedding vows from scratch. I had the privilege of Tylee shooting both our engagement and wedding day photos. My husband and I were so happy with how everything turned out. It’s amazing how well she captures our true, authentic love in such a natural way. Tylee made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. Even though the wedding day can be hectic, Tylee was so calming and intentional about making the entire day special. Tylee’s unmatched passion and uniqueness truly set her a part from others!

band and I at sunset and we are completely obsessed with our engagement photos as well!!

mind-she truly wants to get to know you as a couple. She is very detailed & her work is AMAZING to say the least!! I will forever cherish the photos and for her helping me throughout the whole process- she’s more than just a photographer. I felt as though she was one of my best friends!! If you want the best— Tylee Shay is your girl!!

d be outstanding and it absolutely was. What blew me away more than her final work though, was her preparation and willingness to help me in planning everything and as a guy planning an engagement having next to no clue what I’m doing, that was more beneficial than anything. Once I shared with her where I wanted to do it, it was clear she was genuinely excited to capture this day and she was able to give me a ton of ideas and tips based on her experience of places to go, things we can do there, and of course tips for the proposal itself. When the day came, I had no doubt she’d be there on time and capture everything and she did just that. We then spent some time afterwards getting additional photos where, once again, she had places we could go in mind and knew exactly what to do to make the photos come out better than we could have ever imagined. We’re discussing wedding dates with her already and will absolutely be recommending Tylee to our family and friends going forward 😊

uring our wedding day. You don’t just get a photographer with her; you get a day of planner, a hype woman, someone who will go get you different shoes when your heels start to give you a blister, and a friend. She is amazing. Beyond her existence being amazing, you obviously get great photos too. She captured our day in the most perfect way - the fun, the joy, the happiness - EVERYTHING. My husband isn’t a fan of taking photos, and in fact told me multiple times he was dreading them, but he had such a blast with Tylee that he said he actually had fun during photos. PLUS, she sent a sneak peek the DAY AFTER OUR WEDDING and we got our whole wedding album back in just over a week! I still cry over the photos every day. She simply is the best.

all businesses who were passionate about their craft and cared about more than just getting a check. Tylee was the epitome of this! All our pictures turned out STUNNING and she so obviously cared about our experience both with her and each other. From planning our engagement session to all the last minute COVID wedding changes, she was such a source of encouragement and joy every step of the way! She put us at ease in everything, especially in front of the camera, and continuously reminded us that this whole process was about our love for each other and captured that in her pictures so perfectly! We were beyond excited to get our photos back and everyone we know has mentioned how much they can see our personalities, joy, and love in them. We will FOREVER cherish them and cannot be more thankful to have found such a wonderful person to capture our love story and be apart of our day! My advice to anyone planning their wedding is to find vendors who are wonderful people who surround you with love and joy on your day. Beautiful pictures are great, but when the person taking them is full of love and joy and makes you feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident, THAT is what makes it all perfect! Tylee is this and so much more and I am blessed to have had her a part of our journey! I would recommend her to anyone!!

d Tylee was so adaptable and gracious in the midst of the chaos! :) Because of the many last minute changes of our wedding, I was consitently wondering "what will happen next?" And everytime I saw Tylee with her gracious and reassuring smile, I felt like it was all going to be okay and beautiful no matter what happened! She did a wonderful job capturing the beauty of our spontaneous day and made it look warm and welcoming despite the rain! We loved the way she captured all the special little details of our day we would have otherwise missed. Our pictures take us back to the realness of the day, the many emotions we shared and the love we have for each other. We are so thankful that we found Tylee to capture the most important photos of our lifetime! 😊

beautifully. Also, she was able to provide sneak peeks and our gallery so quick! She is super reliable. If you’re looking for someone, Tylee is your girl!! 10000% recommend.

fortable and special throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them!

d for us has been breathtaking. We had to replan our wedding about 3 times due to COVID (and once in about 20 minutes because of rain on our wedding day) and she stayed flexible with us and tried to help a frustrated bride in every way possible. Not only did she and her wonderful videographer make sure to capture the specific moments we requested, they captured the spontaneous moments that they knew that we would adore for the rest of our lives. You aren't going to find a photographer that cares more about making your wedding/engagement/proposal everything you've always dreamed than this wonderful woman. If that isn't enough to convince you, we've only been married for a week and a half and have already gotten all of our photos and video back. 5/5 would reccomend to literally anyone for anything ever.

joyable. She and Gavin are such a great team, it is no shock that they are married - what a match made in Heaven! They captured our day and were so flexible and willing to go with the flow that we did not feel stressed or pressured. Our photos and video turned out beautifully and we could not be more happy that we chose them for our big day. We are hoping to meet them in the Amalfi Coast (where our original wedding was planned, pre-covid) next year for our anniversary to capture that if we are able to given coronavirus. :)

especially with providing support during covid-19. Her professionalism and quality of work is truly top notch and I would recommend her to anyone. She truly cares and is passionate about her clients. Our engagement pictures came out amazing and so quickly not to mention we literally had a sneak peak from our wedding day the next morning!! No wedding horror stories here booking with Tylee! We were completely blown away with our wedding album and have been told multiple times by friends and family they belong in a magazine. Highly highly recommend working with Tylee!

c she brings along is also very helpful! It is so great how she takes the time to really get to know each couple she works with! I would and will recommend her to anyone!

ho we wanted to capture our special day. She was amazing at communication and checking up on me. The thing I love about Tylee is that she truly cares about each of her brides. I see her constantly working to come up with new ways to help her brides plan their dream wedding. She took the time to help me find a venue and helped me think through every detail. She even went above and beyond when we had to cancel all of our plans and do something completely different because of COVID. She will go through every detail of the wedding with you (not just picture related) and make sure you guys are comfortable with what is going to happen. Not only is she very personable but she is great at photography. We felt so comfortable shooting our engagement and wedding pictures, even though taking pictures wasn't our strong suit. She made it feel like it was just us and had music playing so we could just have a good time. PLUS!! Our wedding and engagement pictures turned out amazing. They are something we will cherish forever. Thank you times a million Tylee. You truly are one of a kind. I STRONGLY suggest using this lovely lady. Love, Clayton and Cassie

wanted her as our photographer. We booked her right away and had a blast doing our engagement shoot in the winter. We were one of the many COVID wedding couples which came with so much stress, but Tylee was a breath of fresh air for us. She made anything and everything happen for us. We had a very small, intimate, family only wedding at my husband’s parent’s house on Bostwick Lake. Tylee was so excited to shoot our day and made us feel so special. One of the things that we will be forever grateful for is that Tylee suggested that Matt and I plan some alone time on our wedding day. To be able to escape for a half hour or so to just enjoy the moment and enjoy being newly married. We ended up going on a canoe ride on the lake at sunset and it was probably our favorite moment of the day. Plus the photos she captured of it were PHENOMENAL!! We love you Tylee! Thank you again for everything you did for us! We can’t wait for more photoshoots down the road! Love, Matt and Emma DeVries

(we had an intimate wedding after cancelling our destination wedding last minute due to COVID), she made us feel so comfortable! She is professional yet makes you feel like friends that she has known for years! The photos though 😍! I can’t even explain the excitement and joy we had when she sent us our sneak peaks! They were BREATHTAKING! And then when we got the rest of the photos (5 days after our wedding I might add; she must have known we were dying to see them all 😂) - oh my gosh! She captured our love so perfectly. Tylee is dedicated to getting the perfect picture (including walking through a field of poison ivy 😂) and that is reflected in her work. We’ve gotten SO many texts and phone calls telling us how beautiful our pictures came out, and that “they were worth every penny” (seriously we had a guest tell us that, and we feel the exact same way!) It’s been 2.5 weeks since our wedding day...and I’ve ordered multiple canvases and probably 20 prints to hang in our house because we just can’t get enough 😍. We would recommend Tylee over and over again! 💗 She is a package deal - she gives great styling advice, is professional and prompt, makes you feel like a long time friend, and gives you THE BEST photos!

U!! You are so incredibly talented and whenever I would think about how in the world we would ever get good wedding pictures with how uncomfortable my man is in front of a camera, I never in a million years would have thought whoever we chose as a photographer would be able to get anything good from us. And seriously, you far exceeded my expectations. I'm IN LOVE WITH THEM. Thank you again for all of your hard work and for capturing our day SO perfectly!! I LOVE YOU!!! ❤

e also gave her some creative liberty, and she found the COOLEST location that I never would have known about. The pictures capture our relationship so well. I've done a few shoots with her now, and she always makes me feel so comfortable. It also helps that she brings a speaker with her to play music during the shoot so you can really be in the moment. Side note: she has the fastest turnaround of any photographer I've ever seen, and the only one I know of in the area who charges no travel fees for anywhere in the WORLD (what?!)

loved that we had a few sneak peaks just days later and she sent us our full gallery just a short time later. Thanks Tylee for capturing our day so perfectly!

e Cheney Place in Grand Rapids. It was like we were old friends coming together to collaborate for my wedding! Tylee was very easy to get a hold of through out our time planning and did an amazing job with our engagement shoot. She even traveled to Kalamazoo to shoot with out dogs in our favorite walking spot, it was so special to have that as part of our photos. The wedding day photos were amazing, very organized and laid back and we have Tylee to thank for that. Even if we were a little behind schedule she didn't rush us to make us feel bad. She stayed very calm and kept us moving right along. That is something that I really appreciated because God only knows how stressful it is to plan a wedding! I am so happy with how our pictures and video turned out. One of the best decisions I made was to hire Tylee and her husband Gavin! I highly recommend her services
