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, intr...oducing 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.
