With endless gratitude,
Mattison
Tyler was absolutely amazing! He was so helpful with all of our questions and helping us with ideas, and even helped out with a good bit of our timeline planning and day of coordinating! We were so grateful for his expertise and fun energy. Our photos turned out amazing and we had a great experience throughout!
Tyler was an exceptional photographer in more ways that one! My main expectation was that I would have a photographer that takes great pictures. Not only did the photographs capture the magic and dreaminess of the day, but he made sure my husband and I were taken care of and that we had every detail finalized to make sure our dream wedding came to fruition. My absolute favorite part looking through all of our photos was the fact that Tyler got pictures of almost every single person at the wedding. The importance of their presence was immense and I am so thrilled Tyler captured the incredible energy each person brought (without even asking!!). Tyler was also incredibly communicative and able to guide me through timelines of the day in such a smooth way that helped me understand what wedding planning really entails. I am forever grateful for Tyler; his hard work and dedication to his craft show with every interaction and in every picture. I couldn't imagine a better experience with anyone else. Thank you, Tyler!
Any questions?
We had the pleasure of working with Tyler for our wedding in May, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the moment he arrived, his laid-back yet professional demeanor instantly put us at ease. He has an incredible knack for blending in seamlessly, capturing candid moments that truly reflect the essence of our day.
His humor and supportive nature turned potentially stressful moments into joyous ones. It felt like having a good friend by our side, making the entire experience not only smooth but genuinely enjoyable.
The turnaround time for our photos was impressively quick, and the quality exceeded all our expectations. Every image is a testament to his talent and attention to detail, allowing us to relive our special day through his beautiful work.
We highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only exceptionally skilled but also an absolute delight to work with. He made our wedding day so much more memorable, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
Tyler is such an incredible amazing talented awesome human!!!! When I started wedding planning, photos/video were my #1 priority, and Tyler KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! He has such a magnetic personality that most of our calls were sidetracked about life and randomness before circling back to wedding topics. He truly is an expert in his profession and I felt 1000000% confident in his abilities to execute my vision (even when I didn't have a full vision, he'd walk me through different aspects to help me develop the vision!). I am so sad my wedding is now over so that my time with Tyler will be less :( I HIGHLY STRONGLY WHOLE HEARTEDLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!!!!!! He captures the magic of your day so that you can relive the vibes over and over and over as you continue into your happily ever after. Thanks Tyler for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~It was all a dream COME TRUE!!~
Choosing Tyler for videography and photography was the best decision we made! Not only did he perfectly depict the most perfect day through his work, but he was an absolute dream to work with! He made the entire experience so fun and personal really making us feel comfortable and able to enjoy our day to the fullest! We have received so many compliments on not only the quality of his work but how fun him and his team were all night! We cannot recommend enough!! THANK YOU!
Tyler was absolutely amazing to work with. He got a feel for what sort of photos we were looking for. After the wedding, we've received nothing but compliments not only on the photos, but also how Tyler made the experience a fun time. We truly love the photos he took.
Tyler is talented beyond measure and has the most special way of capturing the most authentic and beautiful moments. We originally hit him up on Instagram with a pretty unconventional request in hopes of hiring for our impromptu surprise wedding – after talking to him for 5 minutes, we knew he was 100% THE guy. A few months have passed since our wedding and we recently hired him for family photos and yet again, he surpassed our expectations.
Tyler, thank you for being passionate about photography and always sharing your positive energy with us – you are truly one of a kind and we are grateful our paths crossed.
Hands down the best decision I made for my wedding was working with Tyler! From the first interaction with Tyler, we knew we wanted him to capture our wedding day. He has a great sense of humor and he was so easy to connect with. I was truly able to just be myself around Tyler and I feel that is something so important to capture candid moments. When communicating prior to our wedding he listened and asked questions to really get to know us, and genuinely cared about what we were looking for. I think what I appreciated the most was his attentiveness during our wedding day. I feel he had a way of keeping me calm and relaxed, but at the same time hyping everyone up. He made sure we were feeling okay, had something to drink or eat, and would check in to make sure we weren't feeling overwhelmed. He helped with our timeline, worked great with our photographer and other vendors. Plus I was cracking up the entire day working with him! If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares, who is passionate, hilarious, professional and extremely talented, Tyler is the one for you!
My husband and I got married in March and absolutely loved working with Tyler. He is so easy to work with and keeps it so real and genuine. I had a specific video vision and Tyler worked with me to understand the vision while also giving me his professional opinions. His passion for his work and his couples stood out in every meeting, conversation, and moment we had together. On our wedding day, he was so attentive to the details while also videoing the authentic candid moments. He makes being together the whole day fun and never made us feel unnatural or smothered. He would make a joke to make us laugh, and just seemed like another friend who was there for us and just so happened to have a camera. All in all, a truly remarkable human who makes awesome videos for people to cherish forever. I know we will forever be thankful for Tyler and our video.
I don’t know if it is possible to put into words how awesome it is working with Tyler. He took the time to really get to know my fiancé ( now husband) and I from the very first time that we spoke. We are both kinda awkward when it comes to pictures but with Tyler it was like just hanging out with a friend and he was able to truly capture the real us. The one thing we wanted from our photos was for them to be us and not the standard wedding poses and Tyler knocked it out of the park. Bonus skills include untangling necklaces in a pinch and a sense of humor that will make your normally stoic Uncle actually laugh. Sonic you are looking for a photographer that professional, delivers amazing work and also brings the fun, Tyler is definitely your guy.
If you are looking for a visual story telling experience Tyler is your photographer. He captured some of the most intimate moments organically. His style of photography captures the moment s and when you view the images it’s as if your experiencing the wedding for the first time. As a mother of the bride we received more than we could of imagined from Tyler. Thank you Tyler!!!
The photographer/videographer was, to me, the most important part of my wedding planning process. I have a very specific taste and type of photos that I like and once I came across Tyler Gets Weird, I knew his style was exactly what I was looking for. His portfolio brought me in with his realism, but once we did the initial phone call, I knew he was the photographer for my wedding. He was personable, knowledgeable and gave us great advice on some things we weren't too sure about - also found out he did video too! After we booked him for the wedding, he stayed in contact with us until the big day to ensure we were all on the same page. Fast forward to our wedding date, the only word to describe him is phenomenal. He arrived early, scoped out the location to see the best photo options, helped us relax and not feel like we were putting on a performance. He told us that the theme of the day was flexibility and we would make it work no matter what - AND HE DID. I felt like I've known him for years with how comfortable he made not just my husband and I, but our family and friends as well. Our photos and video are something I will look at for the rest of my life and he is now my family photographer for any and all milestones from now on.
Working with Tyler was perfect. We had multiple calls to make sure we were getting what we wanted and with every call we had some good laughs. Made everything such a breeze. He paired us with a colleague, Gabe, that we absolutely loved and Tyler also personally kept checking in with us the week of the wedding and immediately after. Very impressed by his accessibility and patience. We were blown away by the quality of the photos and also the time in which we received them. Would give a million more stars if it was an option!!!
Prior to even meeting Tyler, we were impressed by his excellent communication skills, follow-through, flexibility, professionalism, and sense of humor. He kept in close contact with us throughout the entire process and made us feel completely comfortable from the start. All of those things continued throughout the wedding day, and for people who are not normally comfortable being in front of the camera, he made us feel right at home and kept us genuinely smiling and laughing the whole time. He gave us lots of good tips before the wedding, and did such a good job taking the lead and directing everyone on wedding day. The end product was an incredibly beautiful portfolio of pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! We would recommend Tyler a thousand times over!
Tyler was an awesome photographer to work with and my fiancé and I would highly recommend him! We are having a smaller, destination elopement but wanted a local photographer to shoot our engagement photos around Jekyll Island. Tyler was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. On the day of the shoot, my fiancé was nervous because he had not had professional photos taken of him since he was in college but we found Tyler to be easy going and fun to work with! He was able to get beautiful photos of my fiancé and I (and even our two dogs) and, more importantly, was able to capture our personalities in the pictures. His turnaround time in getting our photos to us was also much faster than expected (it took him a weekend!!) Everyone we have shared these photos with is impressed by them and we are using them on our save the dates and invitations. We have referred him to our friends in the area and will reach out to him next time we need a photographer.
I was connected to TylerGetsWeird through a recommendation of our photographer. One of the best decisions I made for the vendors was Tyler. His upbeat energy, problem solving skills, and care - that you can see in his work - is everything you want for your special day!
Tyler once again thank you! Our wedding day would have missed a special piece if you were not there.
The video that Tyler put together of our wedding day, brings me to tears every time I watch it. (and I have watched it more times than I can count ..! )
5 out of 5 stars
Hes the best!
Tyler Review
Tyler was recommended to us for our wedding by another photographer in the area. We decided to take a look at his social media page, immediately reached out, and secured his photography AND videography for our date. My husband and I are extremely thankful we did. I’ll try to keep this short, but Tyler was a true professional throughout, scheduling phone calls along the way to make sure we were on the same page and he understood our vibe. He even went out of his way to do things far outside of what he needed to do during the wedding to ensure our day was perfect! BUT the best part is the photos and video turned out absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be happier and can’t wait to share them with future generations (especially the video!!). His attention to detail was on point throughout. We had such a good rapport, our wedding party and guests thought Tyler was already one of our homeboys. In fact, we loved him so much, we already booked and completed Christmas photos with our pup (just a month and a half post wedding), and they’re awesome! We can’t wait to share them with family and friends this holiday season. We feel lucky Tyler was available to capture all of the special moments at our wedding and take our first set of Christmas photos. Bonus: we now consider him a friend.
Just book him. Trust me. I booked Tyler literally 2 weeks before my wedding and he still showed up and showed out and was the funniest guy in any room. Special shout out to Gabe his second shooter, also a really solid guy. Couldn’t have asked for a cooler team, absolutely no regrets 12/10 and cannot wait to see our wedding video
When hiring a photographer I had a certain level of expectations. Primarily, high quality photos that would capture the moments and energy of our upcoming wedding. When my wife initially showed me Tyler’s work, it seemed like exactly the type of work we were looking for. What went beyond my expectations was all of the work Tyler did to not only make the photos look great but also the overall wedding and reception.
For someone like myself who is not used to taking professional photos, Tyler provided a fun and comfortable atmosphere. His fun but also professional approach to his work allowed my wife and I to be ourselves. And Tyler did a great job of capturing this.
In addition to being our photographer, he went the extra mile to help make sure things were running smoothly so my wife and I could enjoy the day. From helping me adjust my tie and handkerchief to making sure our food and drinks were coming, Tyler work continuously to decrease any potential stresses and allow my wife and I to focus on enjoying the moment.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Tyler as a photographer. Working with him gave me a better understanding that a great photographer not only captures beautiful moments but also helps genuinely facilitate them with his work ethic.
Thank you Tyler for working with us and capturing exactly what we were looking for in our wedding!
Tyler was so professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with! He’s so fun and willing to help with any and all wedding tasks. Not to mention our video is absolutely stunning. His turnaround time was fantastic and he stayed in contact with us throughout the editing process to make sure we had exactly what we wanted. We would 110% book with Tyler over and over again!
Thank you SO much, Tyler!
Tyler was fantastic from the very beginning. Having a destination wedding in Panama City, and being long distance for our whole engagement due to being dual military, Tyler was excellent at scheduling phone calls for the three of us to make sure we were on the same page as we were planning. First phone call, he was interested in learning our story and we got to know each other a bit to make sure our personalities meshed well. His work highlights all the candid moments and really captured the joy we felt on our day. After the wedding, everyone raved about how much fun he was to have around and how amazing the pictures turned. We honestly don’t think we could’ve had a better photographer to capture the sweet memories of our wedding. Wholeheartedly recommend TylerGetsWeird to anyone.
I’ve never hired a photographer so finding one for our wedding seemed extra intimidating. I must have sent out a dozen inquiries from which I received auto generated responses, except from Tyler. He sent us a personal message the same day, introducing himself, ready to schedule a phone call to discuss the wedding. We got on the phone the same day, and Tyler spent a good part of the hour getting to know us. What stood out the most to me was his passion for photography, the quality of work, and his dedication to helping make the day as smooth as possible for the bride and groom, with the couple being his main focus. His handle “Tyler Gets Weird” was another thing that stood out for us. We have a big and silly family, and who better to document them than someone who likes to “get weird”. But getting weird doesn’t take away from the professionalism he displayed throughout this entire wedding process. Before the wedding day, we touched base on the phone, another lengthy conversation, so when we officially met at the ceremony, I felt like we already knew him, and that made it so much easier to invite someone you’ve never met into a private moment in your life.
Tyler exceeded all of my expectations. He was friendly, professional, efficient, and direct without being pushy. He advocated for us throughout the night, touched base on what’s next on the schedule, gave us soft pointers on posing, and remembered the details we discussed on the phone (remembering that I get moody in the heat and adjusting our photo locations so I wouldn’t sweat off my makeup and have a meltdown - for which I am extremely grateful). Most importantly, he captured us. Our love, silliness, terrible dance moves, and the love of our family and friends on such a monumental day in our lives. And if that’s not enough, we received sneak peak photos the very next day and our entire album just two weeks later. I cannot sing his praise enough and personally feel that hiring Tyler was the best decision we made (after getting married, of course). We will not hesitate to hire him for all our photography needs in the future.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Tyler is hands down the best. He is so flexible, accommodating, quick to respond, comfortable to be around. He did a surprise photo shoot for my husband and I and he even went to the extent of posting a fake Instagram post to convince my husband of the secret. His pictures are amazing. He takes such real photos of us and captures our real feelings for each other. Tyler is personable and professional in every imaginable way! Will def use him again in the future!
My fiancé and I were looking for a photographer to take pictures of our engagement and we stumbled upon Tyler and good thing we did! He is such an outgoing and talented person. We have never had professional pictures done before so my fiancé and I felt very awkward and didn’t know what to do. Tyler made the whole experience very fun and relaxing! He told us how to pose for certain photos and gave us very good direction. We received the photos a couple days later with AMAZING results! The pictures were stunning, and we could not of asked for anything better!
Tyler was the videographer for our wedding and I'm not sure there are enough words to express how amazing he was to have. Tyler creates a space that is professional, but comfortable; creatively open to your vision, yet able to capture the beauty of your day through his eyes (which trust me, you want). One of the first things Tyler said to me was "What's important to me is your experience. I'm not here to treat you like a product for a company that we just want to get up on Instagram. This day is about you and us capturing your special moments together. I'm here to make this an experience for you." And I'll tell you, he stands by those words throughout every step of your day.
Tyler made us smile and laugh from start to finish. He literally took the jacket off of his own shoulders to keep me warm through our 38 degree day (and shared it with anyone else who needed it, including our 2-year-old flower girl). Without having to ask, he helped my sister bustle my dress because we had no idea how to do it (Tyler is a wealth of applicable knowledge on literally anything wedding). At one point, I looked at him and said "how long should I wear my veil for?" just because I already felt like he was my friend who would know what to do. I felt like Tyler wasn't just our videographer - he was in grained in and a part our the adventure that was our day.
And after the wedding, every guest and other vendors all had the same wonderful things to say about him - he was funny, genuine, and a great guy to work with and have there.
Tyler's videography is beautiful - the product you're going to get is guaranteed to be spectacular. He's incredibly talented in his craft and that alone is a reason to book him and trust him with your special day (or any projects for that matter). But what makes Tyler even more unique from other videographers and photographers is the experience you'll have with him. Booking Tyler Gets Weird will set the stage for making the best day of your life even better.
Tyler was beyond our expectations. His sense of humor, professionalism, knowledge, and organization made both engagement and wedding photo shoots fantastic. He knows what will look good and did not only the standard poses everyone wants to do but also had a few ideas that turned out awesome as well. We couldn’t be happier with his service. Hands down would recommend or hire again.
Tyler made everyone feel so at ease. A consummate professional, while still making the mood light and fun. His ability to connect with everyone at our wedding made him feel like one of the family and really set the bar when it comes to how photography should be done. 10/10 would recommend!
