Tyler did a great job on our wedding, and we would highly recommend him!! He was very organized throughout the entire process, and was so helpful every step along the way. Tyler made it such a personal experience, and made sure he was a great fit for what we were looking for in our wedding photos. He made us feel comfortable and at ease the day of the wedding, and the wedding photos turned out amazing. Highly recommend!
We can’t speak highly enough about Tyler! The photos he took are nothing short of incredible—every moment, big and small, was captured beautifully. We feel like we’re reliving the magic of our wedding day every time we look at them. Tyler has a gift for finding the candid moments that made the day uniquely personal, and we’ll treasure his work forever.
What makes Tyler truly stand out is his personality. From the start, he brought such a fun and light energy to everything, especially during our over-the-top engagement shoot! He made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, guiding us through it with a positive attitude and ensuring we felt comfortable no matter how big our ideas got. He wasn’t just there to take photos—he helped make the experience memorable and fun.
Beyond his talent, Tyler was a guiding force throughout the entire wedding process. After losing my dad a few months before, I wasn’t sure how to plan the day without him. Tyler went above and beyond, helping me find creative ways to honor my dad. He wasn’t just our photographer—he became a friend who helped shape one of the most important days of my life.
With endless gratitude,
Mattison
We couldn’t recommend Tyler Gets Weird enough for photography and videography. Our photos and video from our wedding were amazing quality and quickly finished. But he’s so much more than that! Throughout our year of wedding planning, Tyler was so helpful and quick to communicate with us. He also did our engagement photos and when my original makeup artist cancelled my trial the day of our photos, he kindly offered to reschedule so that there was no stress. On the wedding day, he took care of a lot behind the scenes and even got us ahead of schedule. All the vendors love Tyler and his team (shoutout to Moss for the amazing videography) and our guests still keep telling us how funny he was. We’re so thankful for him!
Any questions?
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!
Well I think I’ve watched my wedding video about 50 times the day I received it. Tyler is blessed with a natural ability to capture the most beautiful and authentic version of you on your special day. If we had to share one thing about Tyler, it's that he goes above and beyond. His attitude was amazing all day, and he was so incredibly attentive to our needs. I’m an awkward person, but Tyler makes you feel like you’re just another one of his friends, which helped me to relax and for him to capture amazing portraits. Before the wedding day, I also felt like he was one of our only vendors that truly took the time to assess our vision. He spent plenty of time making sure I was confident we would have THE pictures ;). 2 words: HIRE HIM!
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.
I cannot recommend Tyler enough as a wedding photographer! His sense of humor kept me and the wedding party laughing and calm throughout the day, and I knew I could trust him to take care of anything that came our way. Not only his personality amazing, but his photos are, bright, crisp and clear and everything that I hoped for. I will for sure be booking Tyler for future photography needs and recommend him to anyone who is looking for photographer!!
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!!~
Tyler did such an amazing job with our wedding photos!! They turned out exactly how I hoped, he is such a hard worker and gets every single shot plus more! I was worried because my husband and I aren't great in front of a camera, and he truly made us so comfortable, he's very personable, funny, and easy to work with! All of our wedding party loved him as well!
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.
We had the most amazing wedding with the most amazing photographer! Tyler did such a phenomenal job with mine and my husband’s awkwardness during photos and made them so natural. He captured the beautiful and raw moments of our wedding and engagement photos! He’s not only a great photographer, but will fill in those mini roles you may need, such as a pro-bustler, my dress didn’t have a bustle, and he safety pinned it to perfection! He allowed me and my husband to enjoy our special day and not have to stress one second of the day. He is the photographer you NEED!!!
I’m pretty sure Tyler is the standard in which all other wedding photographers should be held against. He’s anything but amateur. It was obvious very quickly that this man had done this many times. He took charge of his job in a way that made us feel we could relax and let him do what he’s good at. He was completely open to us suggesting anything we needed to but him knowing exactly what needed to be done was amazing. This guy not only took photos that we will be proud of for the rest of our life but knew how to fold my pocket square and put on my boutonnière and calm us down when there was a scheduling mishap. I mean this guy is Mr Wedding Pro. Accept no substitution!
We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer than Tyler. From the moment we met him, we knew he was the perfect fit for capturing our special day. What sets Tyler apart is the unparalleled personal touch he brings. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our vision and preferences. This attention to detail translated into stunning, heartfelt photographs that truly captured the essence of our wedding day. He's not just skilled photographer but a supportive presence, offering guidance, reassurance, and even lending a helping hand when needed (particularly with my dress). Thank you, Tyler, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We hope to work with you again soon!
Tyler is the GOAT! Not only did he take beautiful photos that we'll cherish for a lifetime, but all of our guests loved him. He's there to make your day special and make sure everyone has a great time doing it. We're so thankful for his support and hard work. HIRE THIS MAN!
Tyler has taken our wedding photos as well as family portraits – exceeding expectations each time. Tyler's infectious sense of humor and positive energy sets the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. He is wildly talented behind the lens and the pictures are truly remarkable.
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.
We hired Tyler as our photographer for our wedding and he did a perfect job. He was always in communication with us, he was prompt the day of, he was so nice to everyone, and he took amazing photos! The best choice my wife and I made for our wedding was hiring Tyler as our photographer. I would 100000000% recommend Tyler for any photography needs you might have!
Working with Tyler was so simple, easy, and he took the time to ask how I wanted to FEEL on my wedding day!!! Who does that?
We found Tyler through wedding wire by what seems to be fate. I simply cannot put into words how grateful we are to have found Tyler! Not only is he extremely professional and personable, but he saw our vision and made it come to life and then some. He saw things in moments that I would’ve never thought to capture and made them LASTING memories that I will cherish forever.
Although we were either running late or out of order for things, he made the moments worthwhile and did it with a lot of compassion and made it a lot of fun 🫶🏻
He truly exceeding our expectations for a photographer! Through our time together, he became somewhat of a family member to us. He made things happen and sacrificed a lot in order to make us happy and I only know best of friends and family who did and do things like that for us.
If you’re searching for a really cool, friendly, funny, creative and experienced photographer and/or videographer, Tyler is your guy!
I would also like to shoutout his wife, Megan, for coming to my aide during a really difficult time on wedding day and quite literally saving the whole night!! The best people on the planet, without a doubt!
Thank you guys, Tyler and Megan, for EVERYTHING!! 🫶🏻
We hired Tyler for our wedding and he was the absolute MVP, not just as a wedding photographer, but as a vendor overall. Tyler was quick to respond, thoughtful, and genuinely took the time to get to know us throughout the planning process. He set us at ease and helped wherever was needed, keeping the pace and feel of the wedding perfect. And of course, the most important part...he took amazing photos. Stunning, beautiful photos that captured our vibe and love perfectly. We are so grateful to Tyler and can't stress enough that you need to hire him for your wedding!!
Tyler captured our elopement at Big Talbot Island phenomenally! From day one, Tyler was personable, easy to communicate with, and he made us feel at ease on our special day. He spent time on our first call getting to know us as and asked thorough questions. His sense of humor is the best! After the ceremony, he put on some chill music and spent time getting to know us a bit more as we walked around the island, stopping to take photos. He gave direction for various poses, but it always felt natural. He perfectly captured our joy and love that day and we couldn't be happier with our photos. I highly recommend Tyler Gets Weird photography for any occasion!
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 reached out to lots of photographers for our wedding day. There are so many talented people in the wedding industry, it was originally hard to find a great fit. One of the things that Tyler mentioned that stuck out to us was that he would be more than our photographer on the wedding day. He was so right… he was a source of much needed laughter through the stress and a coordinator - making sure we were getting all the photos we said we wanted. I felt at ease knowing Tyler was the one in charge of capturing our big day. All our photos turned out amazing! From the quality of each picture to the lighting; everything was perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding day photographer!
Tyler was the absolute best to work with for our wedding day. He made a video that perfectly captured our relationship and we could not have been more thrilled. He was hilarious, easy to work with and just an awesome vendor all around. You cannot go wrong hiring him for your wedding!
PLEASE READ!!!
I cannot recommend Tyler enough!!! he was fan-fricking-tastic, professional, funny, punctual, and most importantly he makes you feel incredibly comfortable which allows you to instantly get out of your shell!! our wedding pictures came out better than i can imagine! Made it look like a fairytale, something out of a top bridal magazine, heck maybe I'll send them to vouge they're THAT good!! Honestly, we are not local BUT we are going to contact Tyler for all our photo needs from here on out, you'd think he was a magician based off the magic he puts out there with his photos. I have recommended him to my family and friends so lastly I am going to recommend him to you!! Tyler is amazing and yes Tyler does get weird in the BEST way possible
Best photographer ever! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed working with Tyler, and how fortunate I feel to have found him! Tyler is the epitome of professionalism, and outstandingly talented in his art. He has a fantastic eye for detail and takes great care in creating the perfect image. Tyler doesn't miss a beat...everything from location, to lighting, and framing is perfect. Not to mention he couldn't be a nicer person to work with! I am so happy with my wedding photos, his work truly sets him apart..I highly recommend him.
The purest soul and the best photo/video in the business! We hired Tyler for our March 2023 wedding and consider it the best decision we made for our wedding. Finding a photographer was not an easy task, but within two minutes of speaking with Tyler we knew he was the right person for the job. We spent our wedding day loving and laughing with our friends, family, and him and his team. They had the best energy, a positive attitude, and a hard workers mentality. Outside of his incredible work, he genuinely cares about his clients and their life. He takes the time to get to know you prior to your day so he can capture your relationship through his lens. He is truly a story teller which is captured not only in the work he did for our wedding but in every wedding he has done. My husband and I both consider him a friend and can't wait to use him for the many milestones to come!
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.
I was a bridesmaid for a wedding Tyler did and he did the photography and had a man for videography and I truly mean it when I say they were the best! Tyler was so organized and made pics with the family and wedding party easy and fun! He made sure to capture all the special moments and he was so nice about doing it all- not to mention he’s hilarious. I can’t wait to see the wedding album and I would definitely recommend anyone to use his talent to capture your love.
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 absolutely lives up to his business name in the best possible way. I know that businesses always have a goal to be relatable and service oriented to their customers but Tyler embodies that vision unlike any other creative professional I've worked with. Throughout our entire wedding day he took charge and kept us on track while giving the space needed for everyone to just enjoy the day even while setting up for certain shots. He brings an awesome, unconventional humor with his work and seamlessly fit in with every person he met. While prepping up in the groom's suite it felt like we had a buddy we had known for years hanging out with us. He also is fantastic in getting close up shots while somehow staying out of the way enough that you barely notice he's there. As if that experience wasn't enough, he delivered a top quality production that captured exactly what we were looking for at almost half the price of the competition. I can't thank him and his team enough for being available on short notice and delivering on everything he promised. Thanks again Tyler and we'll be sure to be in contact for the eventual gender reveal party!
If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to book Tyler, don’t think, just book. He was the perfect mix of professional and awesome and made my wedding party laugh while simultaneously laying down the law to get the best possible footage. He really took the time out to nail down what was most important to my husband and I, and gave us a solid library to choose from for our videos background music. Being on video the whole day was sort of a daunting thought to me and I thought I would be really nervous, but he sort of effortlessly blended in to the background and somehow still captured the most beautiful and meaningful parts of the wedding without making us uncomfortable. As a bonus, he always responded quickly, provided BEAUTIFUL work at half the price of other videographers in my area, and he delivered our wedding video to us surprisingly quick. I have watched it 20 times by now, and it still makes me smile so hard that it hurts my face. It is truly beautiful, all my family and friends are obsessed with it, and I’m forever grateful that we get to relive the best day of our lives whenever we want ❤️
Tyler went above and beyond to ensure he captured the essence of my husband and I, along with capturing the positive energy from our friends and family at our wedding. He became a fast friend and brought a sense of calming comedy to ease wedding day stress. He went well beyond the scope of photographer to make our day perfect!
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.
Do yourself a favor and hire Tyler. I can’t even begin to express how wonderful he was at our wedding. He was professional, funny, enthusiastic…. And I haven’t even gotten to the photos. They were breathtaking. I waited to view them with my husband and we literally laughed, cried, brought us back to that wonderful day through the visual storytelling of this amazing photographer. He captured every single detail and emotion. We are beyond grateful and thrilled with him. From the moment he arrived at our wedding, he was part of the family. Not only did he do a wonderful job at directing everyone, he did it with a great sense of humor that really set the mood. Everyone at our wedding was very impressed with how awesome he was. He’s just a good person and we could’ve not asked for a better photographer.
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 is a true professional! His witty humor and energetic nature really made the whole process fun and full of laughter. He really listened to what we wanted out of our photos and did an incredible job making that happen. I would recommend him to any of my friends and will definitely be using his expertise in the future!
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 is a fantastic photographer and videographer! His work is beyond impressive! He is very professional, organized, and a wonderful communicator. He made the engagement and wedding photo shoots both very enjoyable. I would recommend him for any event!
Tyler was my husband and I’s wedding photographer during the extra fun 2020 year of hell. Despite having to postpone once and jump through all kinds of novel hoops, Tyler remained steady and helped ground us in the celebrations of this next step of our adventure. During our wedding, he cultivated a space for us to remain present in the moments and soak in all the joy around us. It takes a pretty wicked photographer to achieve such joy and bring out the uniqueness of our love and emotions. We will forever be grateful for this talented and witty soul! 10/10, 6/5 starts, highly recommend.
Tyler is the absolute best! My husband I got married in Vegas and Tyler made the trip over there. He was really funny and good at what he does! I highly recommend him!
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!

After serving 5 years in the military, I wanted a creative outlet and discovered my passion for photography. This began my journey of documenting and telling stories and I discovered how much I enjoy weddings. I started out working for a larger company and after shooting hundreds of weddings I decided it was time to launch my own business and document the stories of my own clients and now here we are!
As a visual storyteller, my priority is making sure you get quality imagery while making the experience fun and true to who you are. And sometimes things get weird… in an artsy way, of course
