Discover Ty's Style

YOUR WEDDING IS ABOUT ONE THING. Spending time with your LOVED ONES.

As my client you'll receive photographs specifically created to remind you of your life partner, family, and friends. You will feel incredibly loved and thankful for those relationships each time you see your photographs.

Intimate moments

You day is filled with intimate moments with your partner. | Norfolk, Virginia

Our signature to weddings is building a relationship with our couples so we know your personality and relationship. We can't tell you story if we don't know about your relationship and special connections.

silliness

You have friends and family that just make your day. | Saint Augustine, Florida

Wedding photography is never just an event.  It's the coming together of two families. You have spent your life as part of one family, now you have expanded your horizon and have two.

first moments

The moment you realize you have a ring and show it. | Jacksonville, Florida

We don't just photograph your wedding we anticipate your emotions, actions and factor in your relationships. This is how we tell your story from multiple points of view.

Flow Posing

Love shows through with our Flow Posing technique. | Baltimore, Maryland

Over the years weddings have changed from traditional portraits to photojournalistic styling. We have exclusively trained and mastered flow-posing. This technique is used during Disney weddings and you will be right at home and comfortable as we create your intimate wedding portraits.

families & friends

The heart of your wedding are your relationships. | Norfolk, Virginia

Our custom designed press printed cards are perfect for holidays, announcements and thank you cards. Just select your favorite images and we'll do the rest!

Faith & Love

God is the foundation of your relationship and part of your story. | Brunswick, Georgia

Photographing intimate moments of faith is important because you will see and feel those who surround you with their love. During pre-wedding events we tend to use just a camera and our hearts to capture those moments as you prepare for your moment.

About Me

I photographed my first wedding nearly 30 years ago and discovered that I have a God-given ability to see the beauty in relationships and translate that beauty into photographic storytelling you feel.

I've had an extremely busy career spending 20 years as a photojournalist traveling to over 70 countries telling the Navy's story.

Trained by Master Photographers Ted Grote and Doug Gordon, I've had opportunities to work for Disney and photograph "A" list celebrities. It's not those experiences that I remember the most, it's meeting real people with real stories. 

As a photographic artist I believe that weddings are all about relationships. The bride and grooms love story, parents saying goodbye to their child as a single person. Grandparents sharing family stories from their youth. Cousins reliving youthful activities and the bond of college friends.

I have been blessed to have photographed weddings in over 30 states and 20 countries. Wherever you are, I will come and create photographs that capture your memories and tell your wedding story.

Become a client

There are hundreds of wedding photographers you can choose, we are your choice if you want to highlight your relationships through beautiful photographs.

HOW DO YOU BOOK US?

First we'll have a meeting. Then you'll sign up with a $500 non-refundable retainer to hold your date. The balance is due at least 30 days before the wedding. Check and plastic are fine. We can even set up an interest free payment plan.
