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.

Ty’s charm and professionalism helped make our wedding day truly stunning. And this was before we even saw the photos. When you choose Flirt as your photographer, you are getting the full package: not only was Ty an integral part of our special day, he captured the day the way we wished it to be captured. Ty intrinsically knew the type of photographs we wanted, and he acted as our lens. The results? Beautiful photos. Real photos of real humans celebrating love. Flirt gets our full recommendation!
Working alongside Ty was such a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, he brought a calm, professional, and reassuring presence that immediately put everyone at ease. You can genuinely tell how much he cares about the people he works with and about capturing them in a way that feels authentic, comfortable, and beautiful. Not only was he incredibly kind and easy to collaborate with throughout the wedding day, but the photos themselves are absolutely stunning. He has such a thoughtful eye for detail and emotion, and his work beautifully reflected the couple and the atmosphere of the day.
Ty made the entire process of finding and hiring a wedding photographer extremely easy, made us feel comfortable during every step of the process, took amazing photos, and delivered them to us at a speed I didn’t think was physically possible. My wife and I are photographers, and were surrounded by family who are photographers, and I can confidently say that Ty is one of the best wedding photographers (and honestly just photographers) in the PNW. He has an eye for candid photography, and for capturing the little things you didn’t know you REALLY needed in your photo album until you see them. This is a rare quality. He also handles all of the standard trappings of a wedding photographer with ease and flexibility. He really did not disappoint. Highly, highly recommend.
