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 went above and beyond! We decided to elope last minute in Taos, NM and luckily he was able to squeeze us in. Not only did he scout locations for us ahead of time, but he also found a perfect alternative the day of when one of our chosen locations was foiled by construction. Ty was easy to work with and the session felt natural and fun. The pictures turned out amazing and we couldn’t be happier (not to mention the quick turnaround time!). 10/10 would wholeheartedly recommend.
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer—or honestly, a photographer for anything—let me make your search simple: book Flirt. Ty is a true professional who genuinely listens and brings your vision to life. We came to him with a slightly unconventional idea (taking our wedding portraits after the big day, in our outfits, around town), and he was all in. He asked thoughtful questions, made us feel completely at ease in front of the lens, and truly became a friend throughout one of the biggest moments of our lives. We’ve been to a lot of weddings, and Ty has that special talent to blend into the background while capturing the most meaningful, intimate moments (often without anyone even realizing he’s there). Even our friends who work professionally in photography commented on how incredible that innate ability was. It was so heartwarming to see these moments, conversations, smiles, and (happy) tears, immortalized for us to reminisce on forever. When we received the final images, we were blown away. They were beautifully composed and edited, and they also captured the emotion, energy, and love of the day in a way that felt deeply personal and true to us. Hiring Ty was one of the best decisions we made and we can’t recommend Flirt highly enough!
Ty is the consummate professional. He was a pleasure to work with. We really appreciated his willingness to go with the flow, while also being able to guide us through the photo process. He has a unique skill of being everywhere and not being seen. He is definitely a pro at what he does. We will be using him again and recommending him to all of our friends.
