I travel nationwide to capture unique moments for couples. With experience in Indian, Southeast Asian, Polish, Muslim, Jewish, Latin American, and LGBTQ weddings, I blend a candid, photojournalistic style with modern and classic approaches. My goal is to capture authentic, unscripted moments while being adaptable to your vision. Let’s chat about your wedding and how we can create beautiful, timeless images together. I’m excited to be part of your special day!

What sets me apart is my versatile approach, blending candid, photojournalistic photography with modern and classic styles to create a unique collection of images.

    My fiancée and I had a great engagement shoot with Ty. From coordinating my top secret plan to the actual date, there were no issues at all. While obviously overwhelmed with emotions after the engagement, Ty posed and directed us to ensure top quality photos. I would highly recommend.

    Thank you so much, Jaeson! It was an honor the be part of such special moment. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness. Thank you for trusting Prudence Photography!

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
I offer wedding photography packages that can include two photographers, depending on the level of coverage you need. After we chat and learn more about your event, we can determine whether one photographer will be sufficient or if having two would better capture all the important moments.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
Yes, Prudence Photography now offers wedding videography. Please log in to our website to see our latest video reel and pricing.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 3-4 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a USB drive with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of shooting. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
In my 14 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to shoot your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
