Finding Tyra Bleek was a gift from the very beginning. Her display at an otherwise boring wedding expo was phenomenal, and looking further into her work showed an even more incredible portfolio. Not only are the photos we have from our engagement shoot and wedding some of the most amazing photos we never could have imagined, but Tyra made the entire process stress free and lots of fun. She blended our ideas with her own to create a set of photos that we will treasure for as long as we live. So many wedding albums end up on bookshelves somewhere, but Tyra's photos are so artistic that they can be displayed in so many other ways. Her photojournalistic style captured so many little details from our day that I never would have thought to document, but am so glad we have to add to our album.
Tyra makes a point to get to know you as a couple in a much less threatening way than some other vendors seem to attempt. She listened to our ideas and even sent some tips and potential inspiration photos to us ahead of time to get a better idea of what we were thinking. She really took advantage of our time together for our engagement photos to get to know what we liked, what we were comfortable with and what we were hoping for with regards to finished products. On the day of our wedding, she made the photography process completely seamless with the rest of the day - blending in to the background of the day rather than pulling us away from the moment to stage pictures. The pictures she plans for more formal shots are natural and fun, and our entire (large!) wedding party lasted through, and enjoyed the group shots - something that you can definitely see in the final products. And more that than, she's someone you actually want to have at your wedding - she's fun, and sweet, and her easy going presence captured so much emotion from our guests. Her editing skills are flawless, and her turn around time was perfect - proofs comings right when we needed a reminder of how incredible the day was. We couldn't be happier with having found her to document our special day - our only regret is that we can't have her photograph the rest of our life to make it look as spectacular as those special days read more
