Documentary Wedding Photography in Jacksonville, FL
Meet Tyler
I'm Tyler, a documentary wedding photographer based in Jacksonville, Florida, and I photograph weddings across Northeast Florida, St. Augustine, and Southeast Georgia. I've witnessed over 500 weddings, and I see them the way they honestly happen: the laughs, the happy tears, the chaos in between. My couples come from all over and celebrate every kind of love, and one of the things they have in common is they want photos that feel like them. That's the whole job, I want your wedding day experience to be amazing and then I want your gallery to be amazing too.
What my wedding photography actually looks like
My style is documentary and photojournalistic, which just means I'm paying close attention and catching the real/good stuff as it happens. I'll guide you when it helps, get you and your people where you need to be, and then I get out of the way so you can be as present as possible during your wedding day. You don't need to know what to do with your hands, and you don't need to supply a 40-item shot list. You just need to be you, together, and I'll handle the rest. Your photos are created for you, for your memories, for whatever place you call home, not my portfolio.
What You Can Expect
Full wedding-day coverage, an online gallery of high-resolution, print-ready images with a print release, and the real in-between moments I refuse to leave behind. Want photos of just the two of you before the big day? I love engagement sessions for a handful of reasons! These sessions are great for building familiarity with each other, comfort in the process, and trust in the results. On average, couples spend around $2,500 on photography with me; you can see current packages on my Pricing page.

The Intimate Gathering
Backyard, courthouse, beach, twenty folding chairs. Small weddings and elopements are some of my favorite work, and I can build packages just for you.

The Tradition Skipper
You wrote your own version. Silly dances, pie instead of cake, a dog as the ring bearer, a cat in a backpack, do whatever you want with your day! I'm your biggest fan, and I'm a photographer who's genuinely glad to capture all of it.

The "We're Awkward"
"I don't take a good photo." That's exactly why you have me! Nervous in front of a camera? Me too! I’ve built my style, flow, and positive communication around those very thoughts. You get to be yourselves, and I'm there to make it feel safe and easy.
How Your Wedding Day Goes with Me
There's no replacement for time, so we will talk through the realities of what you want and how it'll actually look long before we get there. On the big day, I handle the parts that need handling: the wedding party, the family photos, the portraits of the two of you. There is a very active element of me working during these photos in the hopes of maximizing your free time with family and friends. The rest of the day I'm focused on you and your guests' experience, checking in as we go. I'm just a small piece of a very big day, and your wants will always drive how I help and document it.
The ones couples care about most: am I available on your date, what's included, what's my style, how soon you'll get your photos, and whether I offer video. Ask me anything. I'd much rather you feel sure than polite.WHAT THE FAQ?!

How do I choose the right wedding photographer?

Look for someone whose photos feel like the kind of day you want to remember, who you actually click with, and who's clear about what you get. The connection matters as much as the portfolio. You're inviting this person into some really personal moments.
