SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Nestled beneath towering redwoods in Marin County, Deer Park Villa is one of Northern California’s most enchanting wedding venues. Surrounded by lush forest, historic charm, and natural beauty, Lauren and Conrad celebrated their wedding with a day that felt both elegant and effortlessly relaxed. The venue is known for its iconic redwood grove ceremony site, indoor-outdoor reception spaces, and peaceful botanical setting, making it a favorite for couples seeking a romantic woodland celebration.

From the quiet moments while getting ready to the excitement of seeing one another beneath the redwoods, every part of the day reflected Lauren and Conrad’s genuine connection. Rather than focusing on posed moments, the day unfolded naturally, allowing authentic emotions and meaningful interactions to take center stage.
One of the highlights of photographing weddings at Deer Park Villa is the incredible variety of portrait locations. Towering 170-foot redwoods, tranquil garden paths, the Zen Grove fountain, and the historic lodge all provide timeless backdrops throughout the property. Deer Park Villa
As the sun filtered through the forest canopy, guests gathered for an unforgettable ceremony surrounded by nature. The celebration continued with dinner, heartfelt toasts, and dancing beneath the trees, creating memories that reflected the warmth and joy of the couple’s closest family and friends.

ABOUT TYLER
Every wedding, to me, is a collection of fleeting moments that deserve to be remembered honestly. My approach blends documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, creating photographs that feel timeless, emotional, and true to your day.
Growing up surrounded by the rich culture of New Orleans inspired my love for art and storytelling. After studying Communications, Graphic Arts, and Photography at Loyola University, I refined my craft working alongside photographers and designers at the San Jose Mercury News. Since 2005, I've had the privilege of documenting weddings throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, capturing celebrations across many cultures and traditions.
For me, the greatest photographs aren't staged—they're discovered in quiet glances, joyful tears, genuine laughter, and the moments you'll want to relive for the rest of your life.
