Your Story, Told

by an artist

  • A Minnetonka-based fine-art photographer known for quietly directing with the ease of a five-star concierge.

    Trained in photography & filmmaking at MCAD and seasoned in documentary work, he brings an editorial eye to honest moments, pairing elegant composition, natural light, and calm, confidence-building direction.

    From intimate city ceremonies to destination weekends, Tyler creates cohesive, museum-grade imagery designed to live beautifully in albums and frames.

    Clients describe the experience as “seamless and effortless”, from timeline design and family-formal planning to white-glove delivery. Your only job is to be fully present; Tyler handles the rest.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve silently been photographing weddings, and every couple has told me,

‘It feels like we’ve known you our entire lives.’

I’m an artist who found his calling capturing weddings, and I’d love to tell your story

YOUR WEDDING

EXPERIENCE

You'll actually enjoy the day!
No awkward, stiff posing unless that's your vibe. Because here's the thing: I started as a fine-art photographer first, then came to weddings much later. That artistic foundation means I see your day differently, I'm capturing the story, not checking off a shot list. You'll feel natural, relaxed, and like yourselves.

Zero creative conflict, ever
Your vision is the only one that matters. I adapt completely to what you want, heavily guided editorial direction, pure documentary photojournalism, or anywhere in between.

Want me to edit scene-by-scene with specific color grading? Done. Traditional family formals followed by moody candids? Absolutely. This is your day told your way, period.

Everyone will feel comfortable
From your camera-shy best friend to your skeptical uncle to your 90-year-old grandmother, I'm a social chameleon.

People genuinely enjoy being around me (yes, everyone). That means real smiles, authentic moments, and zero tension in your photos.

You won't stress about a single thing
My documentary background means I thrive under pressure on high-production projects.

HOW I DELIVER:

Complete customization

  • Posing direction: From heavily guided to pure photojournalism, your call

  • Editing style: Scene-by-scene color grading tailored to your preferences

  • Photography approach: Documentary, editorial, traditional, or all three blended seamlessly

The experience that comes with a decade of refinement

Your story, printed to last 150+ years.

Every package comes with a fine-art archival photobook built for longevity.

  • 150+ year archival color permanence

  • Fine-art publishing standards (not consumer photo printing)

  • Built for generations, the kind of book you inherit

This is how your wedding becomes family history.

  • Jessica & David

    "I'm a control freak and was terrified about wedding day stress. Tyler took all of it off our shoulders. Coordinated everything, kept things flowing, and checked in to make sure I was actually okay. By the end of the night, my bridesmaids wanted him at every event. We found a lifelong friend."

  • Sarah & Michael

    "Tyler wasn’t just our photographer, he was part of the family. My mom kept forgetting he was even working. Tyler kept us calm through every hiccup and made sure we actually enjoyed our day. A year later, we still text him. He’s in our lives, not just our album."

  • Lauren & Michael

    "My grandmother doesn't warm up to anyone, but she chatted with Tyler like an old friend. He remembered every detail we mentioned. When unexpected rain hit, he pivoted instantly with zero stress. The hardest part of the wedding being over? Not seeing Tyler every week. We genuinely miss him."

  • Amanda & Chris

    "When my bouquet arrived completely wrong an hour before the ceremony, Tyler didn't panic. He helped me problem-solve, kept me breathing, and made sure I didn't miss a moment stressing. He coordinated with our vendors, kept the timeline on track, and by cocktail hour my husband was joking that we should just adopt him. We've stayed close ever since."
