    Wonderful wedding photographer

    Tim was a fantastic wedding photographer — his photos are absolutely gorgeous and we love how he captured the genuine emotion at the wedding (not just us, but also our parents and other guests). We did a long couple photo shoot on the walk to the venue from our apartment and got a ton of amazing shots, even as it started to rain. Tim was fun to work with, he dealt with the rain and our family like a consummate professional, and we love love love the photos! He gave us a few beautiful Polaroids on the night of the wedding and a sneak peek a few days later, then sent out the full album less than a month after the wedding. We trusted Tim and his guidance and it definitely paid off!!

    Wonderful wedding photographer

    It was a pleasure to have Tim photograph our wedding. He was relaxed, easygoing, and professional; his calm presence put everyone at ease. He provided the perfect amount of direction for the formal pictures, and he was adept at capturing candid moments. He was also flexible and responsive as we made last minute location changes, and he was a great sport about standing in the rain to take pictures. The pictures themselves are beautiful: we're so happy to have a record of the joy and emotion of a whirlwind day!

    One of our favorite vendors to work with!

    Tim was one of our absolute favorite vendors to work with. From the minute we booked with him he was easy to communicate with, made it very easy for us to make decisions about our plan and day-of timeline and even made extra time to meet with us in person before our wedding day to work out some details. Tim made the day of our wedding a dream come true for us. He made us feel so at ease and everything was seamless. Tim also came up with so many cool ideas for our wedding pictures and made sure all of the details were covered. His work is incredible. Highly recommend!

    High-Quality Photographer - Highly Recommend!

    We hired Tim Ryan Smith for our wedding in October 2019, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Tim and his assistant Austin delivered a very complete set of hundreds of incredible shots, and the editing treatment is exactly what we were looking for. Tim was very professional, personable, friendly, and sincere. We were also impressed by his ability to get the most difficult subjects to pose/smile properly, as well as his ability to scope out the best scenes on each property. We also love the fact that Tim delivers high resolution photos. The quality and professionalism Tim provided were top notch, and we feel strongly that we got what we paid for (and more).

    Personable photographer with true talent

    We were fortunate enough to be put in touch with Tim by another photographer prior to our wedding. Tim's work speaks for itself - his photos are stunning and he's unbelievable at what he does. It was after our first conversation on the phone, however, that we knew we wanted to work with him. He's incredibly personable and goes above and beyond in getting to know his clients. We met up several times leading up to our wedding and also had him take photos during our engagement party which we thoroughly treasure.

    On the day of the wedding, Tim was a calming presence for us. It felt like he was a longtime friend which helped put us at ease and he offered really useful advice which we appreciated. He successfully guided the wedding party and our large families, keeping us on track prior to the ceremony and throughout the reception.

    Tim quickly shared a preview of the photos with us, just days after the wedding. We received our full gallery approximately one month later and we could not be more thrilled with the final product. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about how beautiful the photos are. We would absolutely recommend Tim and hope to find an excuse to work with him again someday.

    Perfect photographer!

    We're so happy we found Tim! Our venue was a bit on the small side, so we needed a photographer who could be a fly on the wall. We were also looking for someone familiar with downtown Brooklyn, as we knew that's where we'd be doing our first look. After reading Tim's reviews, looking at his work, and hopping on the phone with him -- we knew he was our guy. We were even more confident in that decision when we received a handwritten "thank you" in the mail soon after signing our contract. On the day, Tim was a rockstar -- keeping us true to our timelines, putting our families at ease, and capturing all of the magic. Within 24 hours, he sent us several photos as a sampling (and to satisfy our Instagrams). We got our full album within a MONTH -- organized by section, with hundreds and hundreds of beautiful selects to choose from. He also did a fantastic job at obeying our request to capture a photo with each table at the reception and getting plenty of photos of our family and guests. Tim's the best!

    Amazing photographer

    We are so happy we had Tim as our photographer for our wedding day and engagement shoot. Tim is incredibly flexible and worked with us to find the package that fit our wants and budget. Also, he was patient with our engagement session where he gave recommendations on locationsand shots.

    We jumped on a few calls with Tim to make sure we're on the same page, and he was quick with replying to our questions via email/call. Tim also arrived early for our wedding day to avoid traffic, and he was generous enough to start early on our wedding day. This made the pre-ceremony sessions smooth and stress free.

    We have large families who do not speak English, but Tim gave quick and effective instructions that made the family portraits quick (and relatively painless). We have a lot of family and friends who were in the way with their camera phones, but Tim was professional in side-stepping or having them move to make sure he could capture the shot. It was such a seamless and easy day for both of us. Our guests have commented that Tim never stopped moving! He was always working to get the best angle for our shots.

    Tim is such a pleasure to work with. He is friendly and so kind. He has the right mix of professionalism and warmth. And he was a calm presence at our wedding. We highly recommend Tim.

    Best wedding photographer! Your search ends here!

    Tim is honestly the best photographer you'll ever find. He is incredibly talented, and has a knack for capturing the "real" vs staged moments. After working in the wedding industry, and helping to plan my sister's wedding and then planning my own wedding, it is beyond clear that Tim is the best in the business. Tim is easy to work with, thoughtful, easygoing, and is such a pro at what he does. He makes your day completely seamless and stress free, and never gets "in the way" like a lot of wedding photographers and videographers do. He continued to send sneak peak photos at lightning speed to both myself and my husband following our wedding, and the photos were so stunning that friends of ours are already booking Tim for their weddings!!! He is the ABSOLUTE BEST and it would be a mistake not to use him for your wedding (or honestly any photo needs).

    Thank you, Tim, for capturing the best day of our lives -- we are so so happy you were a part of it.

    Now we need an excuse for another event so we can work with you!!!!!

    Tim was incredible the day of our wedding! He really took the time to get to know each person, is super personable, and genuinely invested in his work. Our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined and we're so grateful. He had a great eye for some amazing photos based on the scenery and lighting. He was awesome!

    Tim Ryan Smith made our wedding day a beautiful experience! We planned to capture our wedding photos before the ceremony, and Tim brought a wonderful calmness and sense of humor to a hectic morning. His documentary approach to wedding photography is so refreshing. We just received our photos from Tim, and they are BEAUTIFUL!!! He captured lovely photos of my husband and I. There are so many to choose from, and I am really picky about photos of myself. Tim also took beautiful images of so many of our guests, as well as amazing photos from the dance floor! I feel that Tim captured the experience of our wedding. Tim is a great person to spend your wedding day with, and his photography is stunning!

    Tim is not only a talented photographer, but easy-to-work with and such an awesome guy

    For the sake of getting to the point, you should choose to work with Tim for 3 reasons: his photography, his professional presence, and the fact he is just an awesome guy. When I was searching for photographers, Tim came highly recommended and I loved his work. I was looking for his documentary-style of photography, which I feel really captures the essence of your special day (although we certainly got the required staged family and wedding party photos in there, without them at all being cheesy or forced). Additionally, I was thrilled to learn Tim is very low maintenance when it comes to equipment; meaning he's not going to roll in with tons of lights or tripods that I often feel ruin the ambiance of a wedding. He has such an amazing eye and will guide you where, when, and how to take the best pictures. (The night of, he and our wedding coordinator even made the executive decision to move up the cake cutting because of the incredible sunset!) Given I am extra Type-A and thorough though, I wanted to explore my options. I reached out to him and a few others via email, and spoke to them on the phone. Right away, I loved his demeanor and personality. He was calm (but not dull), confident (but not at all obnoxious), and clearly loves what he does. It's important to remember you will be spending pretty much your entire wedding day with your photographer(s), so clicking personality-wise was super important to me. After meeting with him and another highly recommended photographer, there was no question; we knew we wanted to spend our special day with Tim documenting it. Between our engagement shoot, coordinating the months leading up to, and of course our wedding day, Tim was patient, flexible, friendly, and genuine. Before the wedding, we gave Tim our must-have shot list per his requests, and didn't think twice about whether or not he would handle it. My husband and I truly enjoyed ourself during what can be an awkward and forced few hours, thanks to Tim (and his lovely day-of second shooter, Allison!). Thank you, Tim, for doing such an amazing job capturing our wedding!

    Tim did an incredible job!

    We used Tim for our rehearsal & our wedding, and we are very glad to have had him with us for both events. We now have beautiful, heartfelt photos that capture the moments from both.

    He was on time, comfortable and assertive. He hustled and even hung around a little extra time to make sure he got us all the shots we were looking for! Generally, he rocked it & and was a pleasure to be around.

    We received our photos in a timely manner and love the quality! We are grateful he was part of our special day!! We recommend & would use him again.

    Tim was not only a talented photographer who captured great photos of our wedding day, but also a calming helpful presence who added to our day! His sense of humor and cheerful attitude were so appreciated by all of our family. And his ability to capture both the formal moments and the tender candid moments in between will be appreciated by us forever.

    My now-wife-then-fiance and I flip flopped for a long time on whether or not to have a photograher at our wedding. We felt unsure about letting a stranger into our lives on such an intimate occassion. It’s funny to think about now, because after having Tim at our wedding, we can’t imagine what we would have done without him. Choosing Tim turned out to be easily one of the best decisions we made.

    We clicked with Tim immediately. He was kind enough to meet with us a couple weeks before—on his suggestion—to get an idea of what we wanted, which helped us get comfortable and develop a rapport. Had he not been our photographer, we probably would have invited Tim as a guest.

    Never having been married before, my wife and I didn’t know what we didn’t know. Luckily, we had Tim to guide us through. It was like having a good friend by your side who just happens to be an amazing photographer. He knew the venue, he knew the best shots to get, and he knew the best way to get them. He was calm, cool, steady, tactful, prepared, and professional. And somehow, he managed to keep everything feeling totally natural, not only in the compositions but also in the moment.

    Tim took on every request—including embarrassing parent ones—with a playful grin. He somehow managed to do the seemingly impossible by impressing everyone one of our family members and friends—something we will spend the rest of our lives trying to live up to.

    We had countless guests tell us how much they enjoyed Tim, to which we excitedly responded, “We know! He’s great, right?!” He was a complete joy to have out our wedding and we feel lucky to have gotten to spend the day with him. His pictures feel exactly what the day felt like: filled with love, happiness, and warmth. If we could make only one wedding-related recommendation, we would recommend Tim Ryan Smith. And if we could make two, we would recommend Tim twice.

    We are so thrilled that we had Tim as our wedding photographer. He is not only a superb photographer, but he is also a wonderful human being! He is a joy to work with. Tim's creativity and sense of humor come through in the shots he is able to get! He is so efficient--and terrifically patient--with relatives and other important guests! We cannot speak highly enough about Tim Ryan Smith!

    tim was an absolute pleasure to work with. He arrived early to our hotel on the day of our wedding to scope out places to take pictures and to also go over our desired photos to make sure we got everything we wanted. He kept us on time throughout the day, and even learned all of our parents and siblings names!

    He was unobtrusive during the ceremony, which i found to be very impressive seeing as it was a bit of tight quarters. During the reception he made sure to gather the groups we wanted to take pictures with and then grabbed my husband and I last. It was effortless for us to get the photos we wanted.

    We were also pleasantly surprised that we got our pictures back so quickly, and that they turned out gorgeous. He is truly talented at capturing light and composing beautiful and emotional photos.

    Not only is he incredibly professional, but he has a warm personality and overall good vibe. We cannot recommend him more for weddings or any other special events!

    Destination weddings are a huge challenge to pull off with one's sanity, confidence, and bank account intact. Ours was at the Brooklyn Bridge - land of the-sky-is-the-limit wedding opportunities, and prices to match. We got extremely lucky when we heard about Tim Ryan Smith. If you're looking for a photographer who can put your mind at ease, promptly and cheerfully respond to questions/concerns via e-mail, text, and phone, offer suggestions that you may not have thought of, demonstrate unwavering flexibility, understanding, and patience, and capture every emotion that you, the love of your life, and your guests experience on that special day - and not overcharge you, Tim Ryan Smith is the photographer for you. Tim is such a terrific person, so easy to talk to and down to Earth - but always the consummate professional, with a keen eye for nuance and the ability to frame memories that you didn't even realize were being made. We are so lucky to have found him! THANK YOU, TIM!!

    Loved working with Tim for our wedding! He was fantastic from start to finish with a meeting weeks before the event to go over what we were thinking, what we wanted to capture, all the details to delivery of the photos. We were planning on having the wedding at the courthouse but our plans changed with about 48 hours notice and Tim was so flexible and understanding. He was so helpful in getting all of the shots we wanted, and also taking so many candids to capture the whole feeling of the day. We knew we were in great hands with Tim!

    We loved working with Tim and cannot recommend him enough! We were referred to Tim from a friend of ours and, after looking at his work, we immediately knew that we wanted to work with him. Tim was everything we could have asked for ... friendly, reliable, responsive to our inquiries, flexible (we had an outdoor wedding and, because of the ominous weather forecast, I threw a curveball at him by changing the wedding date the week of and he accommodated us!), and, most importantly, so talented. We also received our entire gallery in less than three weeks (!!) and we are so pleased with the photos. Thank you, Tim!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Tim Ryan Smith. He was referred to us by a friend after many other friends “poo poo’d” their “super expensive and not worth it” photographers! Let me start off by saying Tim is so easy to deal with. Your photographer becomes your wedding coordinator on the big day, in a way, so you better feel comfortable with him/her. He is extremely personable and all our guests/relatives/friends enjoyed their interactions with him. He helped organize the day (not to mention he fielded tons of emails/calls from me) and took control of our “easily distracted” families and managed to squeeze in a million amazing photos in limited hours.
    Now on to the other important info… his pictures! They are amazing. We started off with our engagement photos and Tim was able to take what most would say is a boring background and turn it into the most incredible picture. We walked around the streets of Chelsea and Tribeca and his professional eye spotted tons of creative/unique photo ops! We loved all of them and even used one for our Save the Date. Also we just got his wedding pics…might I add only 3 weeks post the wedding. How many people can say that about their wedding photographers!?! My coworkers were all in awe because they waited 6-12 months. The photos are incredible. He didn’t miss a single big moment and one of the best things he did was capture facial expressions during speeches. The day flies by quicker than any other day in life and Tim was able to recreate it for me with his photos. I would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.

    Before we chose to have Tim capture our special day we first wanted to see his work so we looked at his site and instantly saw the quality, care, and love he poured into every piece of work he completed. We scheduled a call with him and after 30 seconds on the phone we knew he was perfect. Tim was an amazing resource throughout our planning process as we were able to ask questions about venue setup, lighting options, and even flower colors to which he was happy to answer and give thoughts from his experience and act as a sounding board for ideas, it was perfect. As we got closer to our big day Tim was available and always made time to answer all of our questions about timeline and scheduling quickly and thoughtfully. When the day came he was on time (actually about an hour early) and was ready to handle all that the day threw at us. He and his partner captured our wedding through a spectacular lens and were able to bring to life our celebration through each frame. The pictures are absolutely stunning. We continue to look at them each day with smiles and tears of joy as it allows us to relive each and every moment again and again. What an amazing man. Throughout the process he was excellent, detail oriented, and best of all a genuinely great person. We cannot put it into words how amazing working with Tim was he made us feel like family and now has allowed us to relive and share our celebration for years to come.

    Working with Tim was one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning. First, his photos speak for themselves; they are gorgeously composed. Overall, we look natural and happy in our portraits, as do our family and friends. In all of the photos, the images capture the feelings we had, and it's so lovely to look back on. We expected to have beautiful photos that documented the day and helped us look our best (and they do!) but we were surprised at how artistically stunning some of the photos turned out - interesting photos that do more than tell a wedding story.

    Second, Tim was a consummate professional, while also being authentic and chill at every stage. He was early to every meeting we had; he was responsive over email and delivered on every timeline; and all of the contracts/systems were super user-friendly. On the day of the wedding, he had us ahead of schedule, though we never felt rushed. His temperament with our family and friends was lovely. There were a lot of us, with folks sometimes wandering, taking their own photos, or directing Tim and he was calm, direct, and humorous. Everyone felt so comfortable with him (and it shows in their expressions). He took every photo we asked, without disrupting the flow of the evening. We have photos from every angle of our ceremony, including an upstairs window, and his style was so unobtrusive we didn't even notice. At the end of the night, when the venue -- and me and my husband! -- forgot about cutting the cake, Tim remembered and coordinated getting the cake, cutters, and reminding my husband to put his jacket on. He is super details oriented, and also charmed our guests. We'd book again in a heartbeat.

    I decided early on in the wedding planning process to prioritize selecting a great photographer. You only get one shot to capture your wedding day on camera, and it was important to me that it be done right. I scoured online photo galleries and reviews in a search for the "perfect" photographer. I am happy to report that I found him in Tim Ryan Smith! Tim was initially recommended to me by my coordinator at The Garrison. Upon viewing his galleries online, I noticed that he is a versatile photographer and has experience photographing in Brooklyn (where we live and had our engagement photos taken) and the Hudson Valley (where we got married). Upon viewing (and loving) his past work, I called Tim to get his availability. Tim was so easy to talk to, and we ended up chatting for awhile. From the start, Tim was a breeze to work with. He was responsive, organized, and upbeat. I think it is important to get to know your photographer so that you are comfortable and relaxed while being photographed. On our wedding day, it felt like a friend was taking our photos. I think most people feel comfortable around Tim. He is easygoing, nonintrusive, and funny. As a result, Tim was able to capture beautiful "candid" moments throughout our wedding ceremony and reception. Aside from being a great guy, Tim is an incredibly talented photographer. I was beyond ecstatic when our photos arrived; they are vibrant, thoughtful, and all-around gorgeous. While my memory may fade through the years, I will always be able to come back to my wedding photos that so beautifully and perfectly captured our day. Thank you Tim!

    Tim was the first person we hired to work with for our wedding, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. After hiring him, it felt like so many things started to fall into place. He was patient and organized, and his work is incredibly beautiful. Our entire family and wedding party loved working with him. We wanted to work with someone who could really capture emotion and the life behind moments instead of just take staged photographs. While he did take the standard portraits that we wanted with our families, he has such a wonderful sense of vision and talent that the emotion and excitement of every occasion seemed to really transcend in his photographs. Tim does a wonderful job at working in unexpected circumstances as well! Our rehearsal pictures were taken in an incredibly crowded amusement park on a very hot and windy day, but he managed to take the most stunning photographs, and he kept us calm, engaged and just joyous the entire time. On our wedding day, the second photograph he brought (Konrad) was very professional, nice and talented as well. We loved every part about working with Tim! My husband and I are so grateful to him for being a part of the most important day in our lives.

    We hired Tim after an enthusiastic recommendation from a friend, and we're so glad we did. Throughout the process, he was professional, reliable, and always a pleasure to deal with. He spent much of an afternoon a few months before the wedding doing an engagement photo shoot with us, which helped him get to know us before the big day. On the day of the wedding, he and his assistant arrived early, to scope out the location and figure out ideal places for shooting, and stayed quite late, to document all the festivities. He took some wonderful photos, a great combination of formal portraits and candid shots, in both color and black and white. My husband and I both come from pretty large families and have many discrete groups of friends, and Tim kindly indulged our wishes to have many different group photos, in all sorts of combinations and permutations. But he also roamed around and unobtrusively documented many wonderful moments from the wedding, including some that we didn't see ourselves because we were so busy meeting and greeting. Tim's an extremely talented photographer and a delightful person to work with, and we recommend him without reservation!
