Timothy Whaley Photographic Artists

Our photographer was GREAT! Actually both of them were. We have received prints and other products in a timely manner.

We had two photographers from Timothy Whaley and Associates, Harry and Lisa, shoot our wedding on August 27, 2011. We haven’t seen the proofs yet, so this initial review is just of our experience working with TWA thus far. I found the sales pitch to be the same as every other larger studio that we met with in terms of booking an hour long appointment to go through the portfolios and hear about pricing packages. We chose TWA because we felt we had the most options for photographers and we liked the body of work they were showing us. Also, the prices at TWA are really affordable. We scheduled an engagement shoot with Harry, our main photographer a few months before the wedding to get to know his style better. Harry is WONDERFUL to work with. He is very kind and so professional. He suggested better poses to get just the right shot from my husband and me. The day of the wedding Harry was with the ladies and Lisa met up with the guys at the hotel. My husband said that the men had so much fun with Lisa. Harry was great with the girls, he was really unobtrusive and made the picture taking a breeze. Both Harry and Lisa were a joy to work with. They have different styles, but we’re so excited to see the mix of pictures we got. They also did a lot of picture taking without any direction from us, so we didn’t feel like we had to manage them at all that day, but we could see them running around taking all of the pictures we wanted. Like I said, we haven’t seen our proofs yet, but we are really happy with our choice thus far and had a great experience with the photographers from TWA.

Now that I have EVERYTHING from Timothy Whaley that I need from my wedding day pictures I can finally write my review truthfully and not be called on Christmas Day Eve to tell me he can sue me for writing a bad review and not give me any pictures. In that same sentence, after learning of my complaints and worries, TWA did treat me very well and I'm glad I used them. First and foremost, my photographers did an outstanding job. I could not have asked for better pictures for my big day. I had two - one for 12 hours, one for 6 hours. I felt like I was a hollywood starlet in front of the papparazzi they took so many shots. They captured the essence of my day in every way imaginable. Which, I was VERY thankful for, because our engagement photo session was HORRIBLE. My one thing that I want to tell EVERY bride out there is this - If you go with TWA, make sure you read every fine line in the contract. Much to my horror, I signed then read if I didn't buy a bridal album of some value in upwards of $1000, I would not get my proofs and basically not have ANY pictures of my wedding day. I spent roughly $4000 for my package. It included a 10x16 that came out incredibly beautiful and looks like it should be on the front page of a style magazine. I love it. I had two photographers, a 32 sided bridal album, a picture DVD and 2 8x10s. I also get free potraits for the rest of my life. Today, I received my digital negatives. 1 year and two months after my wedding day. I had to wait but, in all honesty, it was fun to get them and relive one of the greatest days of my life yet. I waited for a month 1/2 to get my online proofs from the day of the wedding...not too bad. TWA is good at what they do - well, my photographers were. They're a bit on the pricey expensive side, BUT I have a lot of great shots and awesome memories because of them.

We didn't even interview any other photography studios since we were so impressed by Timothy Whaley. We met our photographer several months before our wedding and were pleasantly surprised that he had prior experience working at our wedding venue. Our photographer, Endre, did a great job organizing our large and noisy families for group pictures. Endre was very calm and professional. He showed up where we wanted him when we wanted him and was very flexible in helping us make sure we got the pictures we wanted even though it was raining. We're excited to get our wedding album.

Wally was an absolutely wonderful photographer! Patient, but fast. He was the perfect combination of fly-on-the-wall candid and posed pictures. He can do anything you want with your pictures. All he needs are "two trees and a bush."As well, we used the 5 hour photo/video package. The two photographers worked well together.They are on the expensive side, however they are well worth the money. They treat you well. Though they have worked hundreds of weddings, they do now treat it like it is just another day of work. Stellar treatment and personalities.As well- they are very flexible. They will do whatever you want to do and even if, for instance, the power goes out for your the area you are getting ready and you have to move the whole production to another location or your location for pictures is flooded in a torrential storm (both of which happened for my wedding), they are quick to catch up to what you need done.

We used one of Timothy Waley’s photographers and could not have been happiers! We worked with Joe A! He was the perfect photographer! So accommodating and worked very hard and recommended great shots! He had great ability to gather the right people for the photos and did it such a classy way as to not be pushy whatsoever! He was easy to communicate with and even when we had a little problem at the last minute, was willing to come earlier to help us out! The entire studio experience was amazing for us! They gave us so many perks and specials! They offer great specials and we feel our money was well worth it! Even though photography is a fairly costly – but it’s the memories you’ll have for the rest of your life! High recommend Timothy waley!!!!!!

Salvador was great! It really helped that he spoke fluent Spanish. The Photographs were so good it was hard to narrow it down for the album. The engagement photos were great too!!

This company did my sister's wedding and the photos were just beautiful! The photographers were very creative and knowledgeable. Turnaround time for photos was OK.

My husband and I planned our wedding a year and a half out and finding a photographer was our #1 most important thing for us when planning. We looked at over 10 different companies around the city and suburbs. We decided to go with Timothy Whaley and were VERY happy about our decision. We chose Salvadore and Deanne for our photographer and PJ and they did an OUTSTANDING job!!! They were very organized, on top of their game, kind to our families and friends, and of coarse...excellent pictures were taken by the both of them. I truely enjoyed working with them. The company as a whole we were also very pleased with. My phone calls and emails were always answered in a timely fashion, and my husband and I both agreed that you got the most for your money with them over any other company. I was also VERY impressed that I received a personal phone call the day before from Tim Whaley himself congratulating me, wishing me luck, and making sure I was all set and felt comfortable with my photographers and their plans for the next day (wedding day). It was pretty impressive. We were overall very pleased with them and would highly recommend TWA!

Bill was my photographer and was absolutely amazing. I also went with the option of a photojournalist and Theresa was equally as great! The mix of having posed pictures (more for the parents sake) and candids was amazing. They looked straight out of a magazine. We also has a videographer from them as well named Rex. He was amazing!! Our video was fabulous and although it is expensive to have all three of these options we do not regret it for a second. We can now have images and video to show our children and family for years to come! I would highly recommend this company. Bill also wore many other hats that day like seamstress who had safety pins galore for the bridesmaids and he was even playing waiter during our cocktail hour for my hubby and I since we were so busy chatting we didn't have time to get a cocktail he came to our rescue. Happy Wedding Planning!

Bill was great. He was fun and even helped us in other areas of our wedding (like when the ring bearer lost his bow tie-Bill had a back up one!) :-)

I used Timothy Whaley for my wedding. When we decided to sign their contract we wanted to change one thing due to us being uncomfortable with the language. They were accommodating and did change it. The photographer we originally were assigned to never returned my phone calls a week before the wedding. I spoke with the staff about my concerns and they offered to assign me another photographer 2 days before the wedding. Also Timothy Whaley gave me a second photographer for free. Both of our photographers were fantastic and very professional. My husband was so happy with them that he tipped both of them. From the very beginning of contract talks to finally receiving our wedding album, we were pleased. They returned our calls, never kept us waiting for appointments, the entire staff was very nice and helpful with any questions we had.

Wow! Initially I looked at his worked at a Bridal show and wanted to see more! We first met with Tim Whaley, owner of the company one on one and in detail described his organizations services. We were immediatly (we did of course shop around) awed with the video and pictures, especially the quality of the work. Once we booked, we met with our fotographer, Wally was the best,he got along with the whole crew and family members. We had absolutely nothing to worry about, the photographers knew where to be at the right time. We would not doubt that we will be using their services again in the future, especially since we get lifelong free sittings!

I highly recommend using Timothy Whaley Photographic Artists for your wedding day! They completely captured every detail and emotion of our wedding day. I was a very discerning bride with high expectations, but also on a budget. I shopped around, but when I saw a sampling of their work, I immediately scheduled a consultation. They listened to what we were looking for and worked with us to obtain a package that would work with our budget. Honestly, the best money we could've spent! Splurge on your photographs...as they will last a lifetime! Our photographers, Deanne (photojournalism) and Paul were PHENOMENAL!! True genius' at their craft. Met my every expectation. I recently picked up our wedding album and was brought to tears at how beautifully they captured our most special day. They listen...and want you to be HAPPY with their service and product. Afterall, you can't replicate that special day...however, they manage to do so through their beautifully detailed pictures. I will without a doubt, recommend them to all!

This is the best decision I made as far as the wedding(well...next to picking the right groom). Timothy Whaley is highly recommended. James and Nick (the two photographers)are excellent...they made sure that all my wish list are granted. They made sure that the most imporant day of my life is captured forever. And everytime I look at the pictures, it's as if I live through the day over again. The staff are awesome and are always helpful. The quality of their work and professionalism are beyond my expectation.

What can I say about this company other than they were GREAT! I saw them at a bridal show and then heard rave reviews from our DJ who was one of our friends. After shopping around, I met with them last. I was so impressed with all they had to offer and their package varieties, I signed with them on the spot. We met with our photographer and unfortunately we were not impressed with him. When we called the company, they immediately set us up with another person and who we liked very much. It was so important for us and them that we had a photographer that we were comfortable with. That was the second time we were impressed. Our wedding day came and we had to wonderful photographers that did such a great job that we got several compliments at our reception about them and how professional they were. That was the third time of impression. Not long after our wedding both myself and my husband lost our jobs and they were so helpful when it came to ordering our album and dealing with the several extensions we asked for without charging us much at all. Needless to say, that was the fourth time of impression. Our album and all the photos came out beautiful and I couldn't ask for anything better. If you're going to splurge on something for your wedding, do it on photography/videography, those last you a lifetime and want them to be the best they can be.

Timothy Whaley Associates did a fantastic job on my wedding photography. They get five stars for the quality and service, but four stars only for the very expensive price tag that came along with it. Rosemary was our photographer and I simply can’t say enough good things about her. We had a consultation a month prior to the wedding and she was genuinely interested in finding out what images and people were most important to us for her to capture. The day of the wedding, she was very professional and focused on all the things I asked her to. She was very in tune to our preferences. When we received the images, she capture everything I asked her to, and she also got some great candid shots! Our album ended up being quite pricey, so I guess you get what you pay for!

Thank you for the Amazing photos and for having so much fun with us on or wedding day! We really enjoyed working with you and have already recommended you to our friends. Thanks Again!

I just wanted to thank you for taking such great pictures of my wedding. I absolutely love them! Thank you for capturing all the moments I didn't remember the next day. Being so busy and having to talk to o many people, you forget everything that was going on. I really really appreciate it!
