Testimonials

“the most beautiful wedding pictures ever”

We don’t know how to properly credit Tim Kamppinen for giving us the most beautiful wedding pictures ever. The results from our getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception and exit photos are outstanding. Tim worked hard all day to ensure he was in the right place to capture our special day. We now have these memories captured forever and for that, we thank you!

– Jeremy

“100% worth his price tag”

We are so happy that we chose Tim for our wedding photographer. We love all of our vendors, but Tim was the single best vendor choice that we made during our engagement. You might be able to find a cheaper photographer (something that made this decision harder for us), but you will not be able to find a better photographer than Tim. His work is fantastic and he is 100% worth his price tag. We hired him and never looked back.

– Thomas

“extremely creative and has the best mustache in the state of michigan”

We cannot express enough thanks to Tim Kamppinen for capturing our wedding day so perfectly! Tim was so fun to work with, extremely creative and has the best mustache in the state of Michigan!

– Andrea

“didn’t even consider anyone else”

Tim is a talented artist and such an easy person to work with! He photographed my sister’s wedding and did such an amazing job that my husband and I didn’t even consider anyone else to do our wedding. We got amazing pictures, from all angles, of every aspect of our day. He worked so hard both the day of and editing the shots afterwards and you can tell! The photos are breathtaking and we are so thankful to have so many visual memories of this special and important day.

-Kristin

“We have received so many compliments”

Tim is incredible at what he does! We are so happy we chose him to capture our day. All the photos came out wonderful and they tell the story of the full day. We have received so many compliments on them! We highly recommend him!

You deserve images that stand out.

Too many couples end up with generic wedding photos that all look the same.

I believe that images from your wedding should be as unique and awe-inspiring as your experience of getting married. That’s why I love crafting vivid images with gorgeous lighting and creative compositions that could be scenes from a Hollywood film.

You should have unforgettable artwork that tells the full story of your day and reminds you of how magical it all felt in the moment.

About Me

Hi, I’m Tim! I love helping people celebrate and remember their wedding with one-of-a-kind works of art.

I’ve been photographing weddings since 2009 and I love to create striking images with huge visual impact, but it’s equally important to me that I capture those fleeting moments of emotion and laughter between you and your loved ones.

I live in Grand Rapids with my wife Amanda, kids Sylvia, Oliver and Mabel, dog Zoey, and cat Muriel. Amanda is also a wedding photographer, with her own business. We are always bouncing ideas off of each other, and we sometimes shoot together as well. It’s awesome that I get to share the thing that I’m most passionate about with the person I love.

I get a lot of inspiration for my photography from film and television. I’m always learning from the way cinematographers use light to create atmosphere and evoke a certain mood, and thinking about how I can incorporate the same elements into my own work.

Outside of photography, my other major obsession is lifting weights, adding to my ever-expanding home gym, and occasionally competing in powerlifting.

Some of my favorite things:

Movie: Memento – I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it
TV Show: Breaking Bad and The Leftovers (it’s a tie)
Band: The Decemberists, but also Iron Maiden… I’m eclectic like that
Beer: Wizard Burial Ground
Mustache style: Handlebar
