About this vendor
Hi, I am Tyrie, the photographer and business owner behind Tyrie Mehaffey Photography! I have been a photographer for over nine years, and documenting your best day is truly such a dream job that I don’t take for granted!!
I love serving couples who:
- Love and value photos, but don’t want their entire wedding day to be all about the photos, because they want to be fully present with their people.
- Love life and each other!
- Are drawn to vibrant colors, flowers, and pretty details.
- Want to remember what their wedding day looked like and felt like.
My heart is to build a relationship with each of my couples and to create an easy, uncomplicated, stress-free wedding photography experience and to bring peace and JOY to your day!

I’m here to say, Tyrie knocked it out of the park photographing our daughter’s wedding in June! She traveled from across the country to be with us, which meant so much. One of my f...
avorite things about Tyrie is how she manages everyone being sure not to miss a shot. She’s such a servant leader showing kindness to all as she gets the job done. Tyrie has done many photos for our family from engagement, casual couple photos, wedding, and I can’t wait for newborn photos one day when the babies start coming❤️. Tyrie has a very special gift! Don’t hesitate to hire her to be a part of your big day, whatever that may be! Thanks again, so much, Tyrie!
I would recommend Tyrie to anyone. She was extremely easy to work with, delivered 70 photos the Monday after our wedding, and delivered more than 1,000 photos a week before the con...
tract deadline. I cannot even fully explain how wonderful she was to work with in words. Not only were our pictures perfect, but she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable in every way possible. My husband is very shy and often feels awkward in pictures and he was completely unworried on our wedding day. It was so fun and Tyrie was professional, communicative, and honestly felt like a great friend by the end of the day.
Tyrie is the absolute best to work with and the most talented photographer! We had the joy of working with her as our engagement and wedding photographer. We knew immediately from ...
reading her website that we wanted to work with her and from our first conversations with her, we only got more excited based on her genuine kindness, energy, and optimism. She made both our engagement and wedding photos feel effortless. I am not someone who loves to be photographed but she made everything feel so easy I forgot we were being photographed even it just felt like we were all hanging out! She works incredibly fast and got our engagement photos and wedding previews to us within 24-48 hours it was amazing. She was very responsive throughout the process - going as far to look up where the sun would be at during our ceremony to help us figure out the lighting for the day :) and incredibly generous with her time. She guided us through the process so well but we didn’t really have to do much because we trusted her to run with everything and couldn’t have been happier with how it all turned out. She is so incredibly talented and a truly wonderful person. It was a joy to work with her as our wedding photographer and we would choose her again in a heartbeat.
I cannot recommend Tyrie enough for your day! I've worked with her several times over the years, and she knows precisely how to make people feel like their true selves. She is also...
fantastic at posing, and you will not feel lost in what to do. Her work is absolutely stunning and so full of emotion. Whether you're in Dallas, Chicago, or elsewhere, you will not regret hiring Tyrie!
Tyrie is the best photographer you could ever ask for! Not only is she super flexible but she is also so kind and helpful every step of the way! She makes planning what photos you ...
want fun and when it comes time to take photos she poses everyone so well! She knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and come out of their shell! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Tyrie to anyone and everyone!
Tyrie is the BEST!! She gave me the most beautiful engagement and wedding photos and I couldn’t be happier. She’s the best at making you feel SO comfortable around the camera (very...
hard to do). Because of that, we had the most perfect candid photos. Her eye for detail and ability to capture the essence in the moment truly shines through in every one of her photographs. Not only were the pictures were perfect, but we received them incredibly fast and she was a phenomenal communicator pre-wedding, during, and post. I would hire her again and again and it would be a mistake not to hire her for those of you out there. Simply the best!!!
BEST VENDOR I HAD AT MY WEDDING!!! You can expect your wedding photos to look exactly like she shares on instagram! Tyrie is so so joyful, professional, kind & insanely talented! H...

Tyrie was simply the best! I’ve never worked with a photographer so genuine and kind. She made me feel so beautiful and confident. Her personality is contagious and the perfect add...
ition to everyone’s special day! The pictures turned out better than my wildest dreams, and they captured every detail of our day perfectly. Thank you tyrie!
We had communicated with Tyrie before taking our photos and she made everything move so smoothly! A big thing we talked about was colors, where she reassured us in our choices and ...
they ultimately turned out beautifully. Tyrie’s editing style is perfect as well- I can see in her work how she has tweaked the colors and lighting to make each moment into a happy and perfect photo. She was so accommodating and TALENTED! Tyrie placed us in the best lighting and had prompts that made us look happy and comfortable, and I can’t wait to have these lifelong memories framed on my wall.
Tyrie is so talented in many different areas. Not only is her photography amazing but her people skills as well. She makes you feel welcome and will always strike up a conversation...
to make you feel comfortable while taking pictures. She also helps you with posing so you don’t stand awkwardly not knowing what to do. I would recommend her to everyone!!
ty is truly the best. we will cherish our photos and experience with her forever!
5 stars isn’t enough for Tyrie! She deserves at least 7. She is best photographer, so easy to work with, and the pictures are just amazing. The best thing about her is she makes i...
t feels like one of your best friends is photographing your wedding, with how well she works with you and makes what you want happen.
Hiring Tyrie for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! She is professional, kind, and flexible. She is incredible at capturing all of the emotion-filled candid moments...
throughout your day. She is such a sweet presence. Our wedding reception was at Shedd Aquarium, and I had a bold photography request to get a photo with a dolphin. Tyrie was patient, kind, and fulfilled my dream photo perfectly! I highly recommend her to all of my friends! She gave me my dream wedding photos!
Tyrie was our assistant photographer for our wedding day in December 2022. Though we had worked with our lead photographer prior to the big day, we had not previously met Tyrie. My...
husband and I are rather introverted people who are definitely not naturals in front of the camera. Despite not having an established relationship with Tyrie, she did a phenomenal job of making us feel comfortable and making our wedding day session fun. Working with her felt natural. Tyrie is easy going, but equally as organized with a particular attention to detail. We genuinely enjoyed meeting Tyrie and will undoubtedly refer her to family and friends as well as consider her talent for our future photography needs. Thank you, Tyrie!
Ty was an incredible photographer and I cannot recommend her enough.
She was a great resource in the planning stages for things like timing, shot lists and all the details we woul...
dn't have though of without her. Her genuine love of weddings made us all the more excited.
On the day of, she perfectly captured the joy of the day while never once feeling distracting for guests. During portraits, she made us feel incredibly comfortable, as two camera-shy people. She had great suggestions for poses that felt natural and had a good eye for details in the shot.
She quickly gave us a massive sneak peek of photos so we could immediately begin reliving and sharing the memories.
As soon as I browsed Tyrie's instagram, I knew she was the photographer I wanted to capture our wedding day. She went above an beyond before the day of the event to make sure we fe...
lt comfortable with timeline, other vendors, and the types and styles of shots we were looking for. On the day of, Tyrie gave clear and simple instructions. She was professional but warm and made myself, my husband, and everyone we love feel comfortable being ourselves in photos. We knew she was going to be great, but Tyrie was even better than expected and we are in love with all of the beautiful photos she took.
Everyone needs Tyrie as their photographer!!
She’s not only helpful in the planning process (has a schedule, asks good questions, gives ideas) but she also makes everything so ea...
sy on the day of. I was stress free and a lot of that was due to her ability to keep things calm and be on top of everything! Not to mention the pictures turned out absolutely beautiful, I’ve gotten numerous compliments on them! Beautiful pictures to last a life time :) Thanks Tyrie!!
Okay so we were going to go with Tyrie for our May Wedding and we’re committed, however something came up and she was not able to photograph our wedding. She recommended multiple ...
photographers and we went with one of her recommendations after looking at everybody. Fast forward months later and she reached out to confirm I was able to find somebody and make sure we were happy. I don’t know of any photographers who do that. She was an absolute gem to talk with and I wish it would’ve worked but I know if you plan on going with her you will not be disappointed
We worked with Tyrie on a wedding during Covid this year, one of our first back after the pandemic with tons of restrictions in place and nerves were high all around. She was wonde...
rful to work with and super chill which always helps, we also are so appreciative of vendors who are responsive and look over and follow our timelines to help keep the day running smoothly.
I am so glad I found Tyrie! She was amazing throughout the entire process. My husband and I had a small backyard ceremony and didn’t necessarily have a vision for how our pictures ...
should look, but Tyrie delivered. On the day of our wedding there was torrential downpour minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start, but she was up for anything and assured me she loved taking pictures in any weather, especially rain! Luckily the rain stopped and all was well, but we got some stunning pictures out of it. Tyrie’s prices are incredibly reasonable, I can’t believe we got the pictures we did for the amount we paid and we got our picture preview literally the next day! We would hire her again in a heartbeat and so should you!
Tyrie is an amazing photographer!! She was extremely professional throughout the planning and the day of my wedding. Tyrie coordinated a phone call a few months before the wedding ...
to discuss my vision for the day and what I expected. She helped me create an outline for which photographs should be taken and when. Her expertise shined as she facilitated family pictures with my uncoordinated, large family. Tyrie’s work was thorough and she worked quickly. She had photos displayed at our reception and our photo preview was ready the morning after the wedding. The rest of the photos were delivered shortly thereafter. Her photography itself is fantastic! She has such a talent for capturing sweet, fun, and memorable moments. As a couple who do not like being in front of the camera, she told my husband and me exactly how to pose and made us feel comfortable. She made the experience so fun! Having Tyrie capture our big day was such an honor and I would highly recommend her to capture your big day or any special moment.
All I can say is WOW. Tyrie was above and beyond what I had hoped for in my wedding photographer . She was warm, energetic, and fit right in with my friends and family at my weddin...
g. I'm not much of a wedding expert, but Tyrie was very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and creative and made sure we got all the right shots -- even ones I wouldn't have thought about. She even got us a sneak peek gallery before we left for our honeymoon. We are beyond thrilled with our photos and will cherish them forever.
Tyrie instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. (My husband is not a huge fan of taking photos so this was a game changer for us!) We could not be happier with our...
wedding pictures. Tyrie paid attention to every detail and captured the big moments as well as the in-between, subtle moments. Her communication was prompt and professional throughout our entire planning time. She has a true gift, and we are forever glad we trusted her with our day!
Tyrie is FANTASTIC! She totally rolled with the punches that came with planning a COVID-19 wedding. She was encouraging, flexible, and delivered an absolutely gorgeous final produc...
t. Her wedding photos will hold a deeply special place in our home for years and years to come!
Tyrie is the perfect blend of professional, flexible, and fun. She is an excellent communicator, very adaptable, and clearly loves what she does. She sat down with us virtually b...
eforehand to discuss our vision & hope for our wedding photos and she absolutely nailed it, from family portraits to dreamy bride & groom shots to ceremony and reception photos. Not to mention that by the time our wedding was over, she had won the hearts of all our family members with her sweet spirit and fun personality. I didn’t worry about a single part of our wedding photos as she made the whole process breezy and peaceful from start to finish.
Logan and I knew after seeing our engagement photo gallery that we made the right decision hiring Tyrie as our wedding photographer. Now, after seeing our entire wedding gallery an...
d reflecting on our wedding day with her leading the way, we have absolutely no regrets booking Tyrie. She is absolutely incredible. From the get go, Tyrie was a pro at answering questions, helping us plan around COVID19 restrictions, and construct a perfect wedding day timeline. Tyrie's help and encouragement was a gift to us as we planned our wedding! As we look at our gallery, Tyrie's eye for detail, little moments, and crafting beautiful photos shines through every image. From the detailed shots she took to our bridal party photos, Tyrie got all the photos we asked for AND MORE! Tyrie was up for big adventures on our wedding day - in under 2 hours, we did a first look, got ice cream, and hiked a sand dune overlooking Lake Michigan - and she was there for all of it. The photos she took of those moments - and many others! - are ones we will be framing in our home and cherishing forever. We had so much fun and felt completely at ease in front of her camera. So many of our friends, family members & bridal party members commented how much fun they had with Tyrie and how quickly she worked! We will recommend Tyrie to anyone and everyone we know in a heartbeat. Hiring her as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we would make that decision again. Tyrie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a constant encouragement, cheerleader, planner extraordinaire, and giving us 900+ photos we will cherish for a lifetime. We're excited to be in front of your camera in the future!
