Where do I begin when it comes to TJ, our wedding photographer.
He was one of the very first vendors we chose, per recommendation of Cedar and Sage Weddings (if she recommends some...one, I highly advise you trust her and hire them).
We had a very specific vision for what we wanted our photos to look like. All over we were seeing the trend of muted hues & brownish filters, but we wanted bright, colorful, vibrant. We wanted our wedding photos to POP. The second we opened TJ’s website we saw a photo of rings on top of a purple bouquet, & the purple stood out exactly how we wanted the colors of our wedding to. We were getting married in the woods & we didn’t want the trees to look burnt & boring - we wanted to capture the vibrance & greenery of the day. That’s exactly what TJ did.
Our engagement session was so much fun. TJ recommended some of his favorite spots in the woods of Northern AZ, he directed us patiently, & he captured our personalities & how we are together in such a way that it felt like he had already known us for years.
On wedding day - TJ quickly realized how quirky our friend group can be, & he got shots that show the friendships we have with our bridal party perfectly.
He put priority on making sure we got the best photos during golden hour, & I can already tell from the sneak peeks he sent us that we will have a hell of a time choosing favorites to frame. Every single one we’ve seen so far has blown us away.
I was worried about time on the big day, & said if we didn’t have the time to do a first look with my dad that it was okay. But TJ kept us on track & made it happen. And now I will cherish this memory with my father forever.
Not only does TJ work well with the bride, groom & bridal party, he works great with the other vendors on site, even during the times that it gets a little hectic.
He will also pop out his Polaroid camera to snag a few shots and you’ll get to go home with a few Polaroids for a vintage look back on the day 🤍
Thank you so much, TJ, for capturing these memories we will hold onto forever. We are so grateful for you. 📷
