I've worked with a lot of Photographers over my traveling and I love that he cares about his work! It really pays off we really got some amazing photos!

Lucky for us, Maria and En Tao graciously accepted the idea of our family photo shoot with the unpredictable element of a dog. Our photos turned out FANTASTIC! We got very natural, lifestyle photos taken of us doing what we love: hiking in Boulder and playing with our dog. They captured the moments beautifully and these pictures will be cherished forever. Maria and En Tao were so laid back and great to work with. They took the stress out of a photo shoot by being so relaxed and casually recommending what to do. I loved having two photographers, as we'd focus on one camera while the other photographer was able to capture a whole different perspective of us from another angle. I'd highly recommend Magnified Joy to anyone!

He suggested we drive to Loveland Pass, CO at sunrise, and even though it was fuh-reezing (it was February), it was SO much fun, and he made us feel super comfortable. He was really good at directing us (which we were both concerned about, because neither of us knew what to do in front of the camera), and it was just a fun, awesome experience, and gave us 100% confidence in Matthew for our wedding. For our wedding itself, which was in July, Matthew once again completely knocked it out of the park. He was simultaneously everywhere AND not at all distracting. The photos he took really told the story of that day, which is exactly what I wanted. He never missed a beat, and captured some of the sweetest and funniest moments throughout the wedding and reception. He snuck my husband and I out around 9 pm for some night shots, which turned out really unique. I expected to REALLY like maybe 10 or 20 photos total, but I honestly LOVE like 50-100. We've had soooo many people tell us our photos belong in a magazine. He's awesome to work with, easy to communicate with, and I promise you won't be disappointed if you book him. DO IT!

We LOVED working with Tim!…read more Tim is engaging and warm, he helped us feel comfortable and easy while still feeling confident. If you're looking for a photographer to shoot your wedding, I highly recommend Tim. We spent several weeks looking through wedding photographers and very carefully considering who we wanted to work with, and I'm so glad we went with Tim - he more than exceeded what we were looking for. Tim shot our wedding in Lakewood Colorado - we chose to work with Tim because we loved how honestly he captures the different personalities of his subjects. Finding a wedding photographer was challenging because a lot of the dedicated "wedding photographers" have a singular style, and frankly they seem overpriced, with a lot of tack-on / add-ons to build an up-sell model. And then there are more "budget-friendly" photographers where you just don't feel confident that you're going to get great shots. A lot of the "firms" or teams of people will also have surprisingly long turn around times, but we got a great collection of "sneak peeks" immediately after our wedding and a full set of ~600 photos in under a week - I've been involved in a few larger photoshoots and this is a VERY FAST turnaround. With Tim we had the best of both worlds - he charges a fair price and the shots are AMAZING. It was a surreal experience to go back and see just how happy we look, and this is in large thanks to Tim's great photography.
