Hey – Ty here. I’ve been a full-time professional photographer for over 20 years and I have an incredible passion for photographing love and all of the emotions surrounding the pivotal moments in our lives. While weddings are filled with beauty, I sincerely believe that the feelings stemming from our connections with others is ultimately what makes them such special moments and so I place a lot of emphasis on capturing the authentic expressions rather than trying to overly fabricate them. It is far more important to me that you enjoy and are present for your day than that I have lots of ‘photo ops’ with you and yet I will still create a wonderful collection of images that will in time become the foundations of your memories.
I shoot in a ‘loose editorial’ or ‘documentary’ style and more than one couple has shared that the experience of working with me had felt more like they had invited an artistic friend to document their day than that they had hired a ‘wedding photographer’ and this is truly my goal with every couple I work with. I have found over the course of many years of doing this that most every couple approaches being in front of the camera with some apprehension and my secret sauce is simply that I encourage and facilitate you to just be yourself.
I want you to express your love and most importantly be present for and deep in the moment of your day and then your photos will reflect all of that. The look and feel of my work is very much entrenched in my approach and how I interact with couples and that is truly the value and skill that I bring. If you want to most importantly have a wonderful day and then have photos and memories of that then I may be your perfect fit, so let’s talk!
Packages:
My pricing is straightforward and based upon the amount of time requested. The average investment for 8 hours of coverage, the most popular option, is in the $4000 range and dependent on whether an engagement session is desired, how many photographers are needed and if travel is involved. Please get in touch to let me know what you are looking for and I would be happy to provide you with a custom quote.
FAQ
How can we learn more about your photography and see if we’re a good fit?
My photography focuses on celebrating and capturing all of the real love, connection and emotion on these incredible days. There is so much information to share including my approach, my vibe and logistical booking details as well as referrals from past couples and of course galleries of images. The best way to get a glimpse of all of this is really to visit my site, follow me on Instagram and then to schedule a consult to discuss what you are looking for and how I may be of service. I hope that we are able to connect!
When should we book a photographer?
I would encourage you to book any vendor, including your photographer, as soon as possible or you determine they are your right fit. For reference, there are 52 Saturdays in a year and most every couple wants to host their wedding on the same 25 of them. Vendors book up quickly and the safest advice would be to strive to book a year in advance if you are able.
What do we get from you and when?
This depends on a variety of factors and while I do not guarantee a specific number of images, I have found over time that the finished galleries that I deliver often contain roughly 100 images per hour of shooting. These 'best of the best' would of course be narrowed down from thousands more. Offseason engagement shoots are generally turned around pretty quickly (2-3 weeks), while the summer peak season does tend to get busier and thus slows delivery. I will always strive to send you a few 'sneak peeks' within a couple of days of your event (I will be as excited to see them as you are) and then for weddings the full gallery will be delivered within 8 weeks (though again, often sooner.)
Will you travel to our wedding?
Yes, absolutely. I work locally out of the Santa Fe/Albuquerque area, but am willing to travel anywhere and would be happy to put a quote together for you following a consultation.
Are you LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes, 10000%.
What separates you from all of the other photographers?
There is a lot of beautiful wedding photography to choose from and while I believe that I make some of it, the finished work is only part of the process of choosing a photographer. I have been shooting professionally for a long time and that has perhaps given me a different perspective than most. I see the beauty in people and I am patient enough to allow that beauty to come out without forcing it or forcing myself upon it. A lot of photographers shooting couples and weddings feel that it is their role to help people become beautiful by posing them in trendy or popular ways and this is a major divergence from my approach. I think that an excessive use of posing masks who they really are, how they really look at one another and what their love looks like. To me, it is always worth the wait to capture the real you because that is what is worth remembering. This point of view and approach is ultimately what makes me the photographer that I am and gives my work the look that it has. I am not the right fit for every couple, but if this is what you are looking for, then we may be a great fit.

As a planner, I work with photographers all the time! Ty impressed me in that he takes initiative to keep things moving throughout the day, while still capturing moments as they happen organically. He allows the couple to truly enjoy and be in the moment on their day providing guidance when needed. The album I received from him was so authentic to the feeling of the day and was truly stunning.
Ty was amazing to work with for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos! We could not be happier with the photos themselves, but especially how great Ty was to work with. He always had a fun, positive attitude, and he was very patient with us ‘camera shy’ people. We could not be more thankful to have had Ty be a part of, and capture, our wedding day. We truly appreciated his presence, even just as a guest at the wedding! We will certainly be using his services again for any professional photos.
We’ve worked with Ty Milford of Freckle and Flirt Photography on several weddings at Coopers Hall, and he’s truly exceptional to work with. Ty is calm, kind, and incredibly easy to collaborate with, which makes a big difference on busy wedding days. He makes couples feel comfortable, works seamlessly with vendors, and captures moments in a way that feels natural and real. We’re always happy when Ty is on the team and would gladly recommend him to any couple!
