Amazing photographer and even better person

Not only was Tim a fantastic photographer but he was also a wonderful person to work with. We initially choose him because we felt like his photos had a timeless style, that we could enjoy for the rest of our lives. During our engagement photoshoot, we found Tim to be kind, that he had great ideas for various shots, gave us clear directions, and was amenable to all of our ideas and suggestions. And as a couple that don't normally feel comfortable with taking pictures, my fiancé and I LOVED all of the photos that came out. But my favorite example of his great character came while we were shooting photos right before our wedding ceremony. I was feeling rushed and panicked from being behind in our schedule, but Tim reassured me, telling me that everything was okay and would be fine - and that the most important thing was to be in the moment and enjoy every second of the day. I'll never be able to thank him enough, because that advice really did help me calm down and enjoy the most amazing day of my entire life. For your sake, I hope that Tim will be available to take pictures for your special day as well, because I guarantee that you will not regret it.

Amazing Wedding Photographer!!!

Tim was incredible to work with for our wedding! I can't say enough kind words but I'll try! He is professional, exceptionally talented, quick thinking and efficient. We had multiple meetings to discuss timeline, types of shots, and general advice to set us up for a successful day. He sent over some sneak peeks already and I'm so excited for the full album. He was a key player for making our day run smoothly.

I have personally had the pleasure of doing makeup at a wedding that Tim was photographing and we had such a blast. He has a wonderful personality, is very professional, and takes beautiful photos. He has a great eye for wedding photography too!
