We will start off by saying that Tim is a really laid back and easy-going person to deal with. If you are happy with point and shoots, look elsewhere, but if you want an experience where each photo is the best, then Tim is your guy! He was very flexible with scheduling. He’s open for suggestions on the kinds of pictures you like – we both had different preferences and he made sure to get a lot of each style so we are equally happy with the results. He was able to creatively capture aspects of our wedding that we never expected and will always treasure. Overall we had a great experience with Tim and will recommend him to everyone we know!” — Mr. & Mrs. Sanders
Tim has taken amazing photographs documenting events at my gallery for the past couple of years. He has always caught the spirit of each gathering. I have been part of other events that Tim has shot, including weddings and parties and he really is the ultimate professional at capturing the moment. The colors, details, moods and atmospheres that Tim observes and documents are exactly what you want when you hire a photographer at his level. I highly recommend Tim.” — Mark Quint (Quint Contemporary Art)
We hired Tim to take pictures at our son’s 4th birthday party. Not only were our photos more than we had hoped for, but all of our guests commented on the time and enthusiasm Tim put into capturing the best moments for us to remember forever. Because we had such a good experience using Tim’s services, we went on to hire Tim to photograph our son’s 5th birthday party. Tim took the extra effort to play with the children and create massive bubble. We have since hired him for our son’s 1st tee-ball game, our 15 month old girl, family photos and more. Every experience we have had with Tim has been better than we had hoped for. He is very professional and gets the photos to us sooner than expected. I have highly recommended him to both family and friends.” — Jen & David
All I can say is WOW! I LOVE the photos. Tim’s eye is amazing. I’m going to not only suggest him as a photographer when people ask, but I’m going to push it as “the guy you NEED to shoot your event”. I may need some cards. It’s rare to find a photographer who is a true artist. Tim’s results are magical. Thank you.” — Todd A. Davidson
Wow! Can’t say enough about Tim, hands down THE BEST! We hired him to do an engagement shoot, working with him was great, he has great ways of engaging with the subjects being photographed! After seeing one of the many pictures he had taken for our engagement shoot, we didn’t even think about it twice, we hired him as our wedding photographer. All we can say is he truly captured every single instant of our special day! At the end of the day we have amazing pictures to remind us of our beautiful wedding!” — Paulina & Oscar
We were first introduced to Tim’s awesome photography skills when he was hired to shoot pictures at my brother’s bachelor party. After seeing all of the great pictures he took of my brother and his friends, it was a pretty easy decision for us to choose him for our wedding. We met with Tim to go over the details of our big day, it was refreshing how down to earth and passionate he was about photography. We did not really have a desire to shoot engagement photos but his enthusiasm and unique ideas convinced us to go for it. We were lucky enough to have two engagement shoots; the first was in Las Vegas and the second was in Little Italy, San Diego. Tim met us in Vegas and since he knew we would be honeymooning in New York, he thought it would be great to shoot at the New York New York hotel. All of the lights really made our pictures look amazing. Our San Diego shoot was a lot of fun, and he was able to capture our personalities and our love beautifully. Choosing which pictures to use was difficult because there were so many we loved!! On our wedding day, Tim spent the whole day with us. He took so many great photographs of both of us celebrating with our families and our friends really captured everything special about the day. THANK YOU TIM!!!!” — Chad & Jen
Tim Hardy is not only one of the most talent photographers in San Diego; he’s really a cool person to work with. He shot two of the high profile properties that we designed last year and will be a part of our growth and success for years to come. He is creative and quick to deliver excellent work! We highly recommend Tim Hardy for your next photography session!” — Stephanie M. (Room by Room, Inc.)
I got through the slide show and had to wait in suspense for the rest of the photos to arrive. My immediate reactive was realizing how truly special it was to have our dearest friend's’ and family members’ emotions captured in the moment by the lens of your camera. Reflecting on the entire wedding day via these images is indescribable how it perfectly tells our story. I have to tell you, we’re completely in awe of your talent and could not be more excited to share these pics with everyone. Most of all, we’ll always have something to look back on to remind us of this unforgettable adventure. None of it would have been possible without him. His amazing attention to detail and ability to take (literally) everything in and transpose the moments into something tangible.” — J & S Kellar
We were fortunate to have Tim as our photographer for our wedding. Tim is warm and engaging and his easy going and fun personality puts people at ease. We were impressed by his ability to direct us and our guests in order to get amazing shots, as well as his ability to capture the more organic and "in the moment" images. We received multiple compliments from guests about his positive and energetic way and his seamless ability to capture the perfect images. We were pleasantly surprised by his promptness in sending a few edited images to us the very next day so we could have a sneak peak. We highly recommend Tim and would hire him again in an instant!” — Megan & Jon
We heard of Tim through some friends in SoCal. He came highly recommended and I trusted my friends words. Well, no sooner did Tim fly into Sacramento did he start cataloguing our family. I thought he would capture the typical "staged" and fairly benign traditional shots. We, all 10 of us, were placed in beautiful settings and we did what we were supposed to do. All went well and I was happy with the hours long event. Tim was amiable, professional, humorous and attentive. We sent him on his way. A week later we received a email with some of the pictures. I was pleased at his ability to capture the essence of what we had asked of him. But I was pleasantly surprised at the "non-staged" captures. I wondered, at the time of shooting, why he was taking so many other pictures....The jewels of the event were the abstract, untimed, unscripted, "freelance between the moments" captures. These pictures, or should I say Art, are some of the best I have ever seen. I am sooo proud of my family and how these pictures memorialized my special day that I will be Tim's mouthpiece with my entire social groups and corporate partners. Thanks Tim.” — Chris H.
I chose Tim Hardy based on a friend’s recommendation and could not have been happier. Aside from the outstanding quality of pictures, Tim me with myself and my family at the last minute so I was able to have the photos for holiday gifts. He was beyond professional, easy to work with, flexible and we walked away with far more great pictures than I could ever ask for! I could not believe he grabbed so many artistic, traditional and unique shots in such a short period of time! Thank you Tim for capturing our family; they are images we will hold on to forever and will be using you all future family photos! — Kasey E.
Wow – the photos you took of our five-year-old, Riley are breathtakingly beautiful! The only problem is we can’t decide which ones to print because they are all great. He really captured her in her natural state and made her feel comfortable expressing herself – which isn’t always easy with Riley. Thank you for making our one and only look like one in a million!” — Shelly M. (VP of Marketing at YMCA San Diego)
Tim Hardy photographed our wedding. We received the pictures quickly, about two weeks after the wedding. I can’t express the immense joy I feel when I look through our wedding photos. They really blew us away. Some of the photos made us laugh until we cried and some made us so happy we cried. Tim did an amazing job capturing the spirit of our wedding, our friends and our families. He didn’t miss a thing. Tim was professional, laid back, and a pleasure to work with.” — Megan & Daniel
Before our photo session started, Tim made sure to listen to what we wanted and asked questions to really understand our needs. He then explained the process of the photoshoot and really made us feel comfortable enough to relax in what can be a slightly awkward situation. Tim is a very genuine and down-to-earth person, which translates into his photography. He has the ability to use his own creativity to give you beautiful, unique, yet timeless photographs.” — Leah B.
