Hey, I'm TJ!

I photograph couples for a living and I freakin’ love it. Based in Kansas City & traveling all the time. I promise no place is too close, too far, or too remote for me to be there. But first, it’s important we’re a good fit because I want to document you guys the best way I know how: with honesty and heart.

Two months in. Forever to go.
We got married on a Thursday. Our venue was free. We invited our immediate families. . Let me say this very clearly: It’s okay to do it how you want. For some reason there’s this strange pressure to have a classic wedding. I hear it again and again, “we wanted to just elope, but... (fill in the blank)” We had that pressure too. . If a classic wedding is your thing, DO IT. I love weddings. I chose to be at them for my job because I love them. But, if you want to get rid of the distractions, the production, the linens & centerpieces, etc. Do what you really want to do. It’s your day. Focus on the things that matter to you and keep it simple. . photos: @philchester

Really just overwhelmed with emotion looking back on our day. We did it our way and didn’t look back. Here’s a photo of Emily’s bouquet because I can’t even choose what to share. Too many good ones from @philchester.
