Madison, C
"I have had two absolutely wonderful wedding experiences working with Tim, both as a bridesmaid and now a bride! He was so unbelievably professional and easy to be comfortable around! He helped me out in such short notice as I had a previous panicking experience with another photographer and I couldn’t be more grateful. Turn around time was UNREAL and the photos were absolutely perfect. 10/10 recommend!!"
Witnessing the final moments of artistry before a celebration begins is always a privilege. āØ
Here is the incredibly talented Martha from Hanami Cakes applying the final, delicate touch-ups to a gorgeous wedding cake. I absolutely love these moments!
Weddings are so much more than just a single eventāthey are beautiful, massive collaborations between dedicated artists. From the floral designer's arrangements to the cake designer's edible sculptures to the flawless hair and makeup, the opportunities for unique art are everywhere.

Nerd Moment - I'm slightly obsessed with bees! I keep bees as part of our farm (@morrisfamilyfarmmaine) and when one of my brides told me she was also going to start keeping bees I had to get a shot of her rings with one of our little friends! Luckily there was a bumble playing nearby I managed to coax over to her ring set! Today is the state beekeeping conference, if you're going to be there come over and say hi!!!

Happy Floral Friday!
This time of year offers the most stunning natural backdrop for a ceremony. Here, the beautiful arch arrangement perfectly complemented the rich tones of the fall foliage behind it, creating a ceremony space that felt warm, lush, and completely timeless.
It's proof that sometimes, the best detail is the one nature provides. Save this for your autumn wedding inspiration!

Tomorrow is the big day for this couple!!!
More than just a wedding, itās a reunion.
While our main focus is always on the couple, a wedding is truly a celebration of the community that surrounds them. Capturing the sheer joy, the inside jokes, and the heartfelt embraces between the people who traveled to celebrate you is just as important.
Thatās exactly why we keep the formal couple's portrait sessions efficient and fun! We want you back at cocktail hour as quickly as possible, savoring every precious moment and hug with your invited guests. Because those candid moments with your favorite people are priceless.

Tip Tuesday: The Secret to Perfect Ceremony Photos
You want to look back at your ceremony photos and see genuine emotion, not a dozen phone screens.
Tip Tuesday is all about an Unplugged Ceremony.
The Tip: Politely ask your guests to put away their phones and cameras during the ceremony.
Why does this matter for your photos?
Clear Views: It ensures no one steps into the aisle to grab a shot, blocking the key moment your professional photographer is paid to capture.
Genuine Presence: Your guests are fully present to witness your authentic vows, not distracted by trying to get a selfie.
Timeless Look: Your final gallery will have a beautiful, cohesive, and timeless look without the distracting glare of screens in the background.

Beach proposals at sunset are the best way to end a busy weekend!
These hot fall days feel like the summer thatāll never end! And moments like this one make me feel like itās ok if it hangs on a little longer!
People sometimes ask why I wear black to weddings. Sure, it helps me blend in, avoids reflections, and keeps the focus on you ā but letās be real: itās also the only clean outfit I own that hasnāt been attacked by sticky toddler fingers. Practical AND fashionable.
Floral Friday!
When the sun sets and candles flicker, florals at the reception come alive in a whole new way. āØ From lush centerpieces to tiny bud vases scattered across tables, they add warmth and dimension to the celebration.

Today is 6 years
6 Years I've been married to my wife, we've moved a few times, had 3 kids, shared endless adventures and travels together. The traditional 6 year gift is iron, so I worked with a jeweler and had this custom meteorite pendant necklace made for her (meteorites contain iron). A perfect gift for a wife and mother who is out of this world!

BoutonniĆØres are small, but they carry big meaning. š¹ Iāve seen them crafted with a single flower to honor a loved one, or with herbs like rosemary for remembrance.
These little details often get overlooked, but when captured in a photo, they become timeless keepsakes.

Tradition Thursday
In Tunisian and other Muslim wedding traditions, itās common for the bride and groom to feed each other as a symbolic first act of married life. Often this includes honey, dates, or sweet pastries, representing a future filled with abundance, joy, and tenderness.
This gesture goes beyond sharing food ā itās a promise to nurture, support, and look after one another. Whether solemn and sweet or full of laughter, itās one of those traditions that feels both intimate and universal.

From the tiny folds of a newbornās hand to the intricate lace on a wedding gown, itās the little things that tell the biggest stories. Iām endlessly fascinated by the details, the small, fleeting moments that are so easy to miss.
In a newborn session, itās the wisps of hair, the curl of a tiny foot, and the perfect shape of a sleeping profile. At a wedding, itās the way the sunlight catches the rings, the delicate details of a bouquet, or the tear in a parentās eye.
These small moments are a beautiful part of your story, and they deserve to be captured with just as much care as the big ones.

Florals arenāt just for bouquetsāthey transform spaces. šøšæ From arches draped in blooms to minimalist aisle accents, they set the tone the moment your guests arrive.
I love photographing the way florals frame a ceremony, especially when the light hits just right. Itās a perfect balance of artistry between the floristās vision and the coupleās story.

Tradition Thursday
In parts of Eastern Europe and India, it was once common for guests (or mischievous groomsmen) to āstealā the brideās or groomās shoes during the reception. The shoes would only be returned once a small ransom was paid ā usually in drinks, dancing, or money.
It may sound silly, but even today, shoes carry symbolism of lifeās journey. And for me, a close-up macro of wedding shoes waiting under the table could easily tie back to this playful old custom.

Floral Friday!
Every bouquet tells a story. Whether itās bold pops of color, soft pastel tones, or wild greenery, I always take time to capture the flowers up close. šæāØ Theyāre not just an accessoryātheyāre part of the memory of your wedding day.
Fun fact: Many couples choose flowers with personal meaningālike roses for love, lavender for devotion, or peonies for prosperity.

Tradition Thursday! A beautiful Celtic-inspired tradition called ring warming invites guests to play a small part in the ceremony. During the wedding, the rings are passed around for each guest to hold for a momentāsending their silent blessings, well-wishes, or prayers into them. šāØ
By the time the rings make it back to the couple, theyāre filled with the love of everyone present. Itās such a touching, inclusive way to involve the entire guest list in the ceremony.

Thereās something timeless about the exchange of rings.
This tradition has ancient rootsāin cultures from Egypt to Greece to Rome, rings were symbols of eternity. The circular shape represented a love without end, and the space in the center was seen as a doorway into a new chapter of life together.
The tradition of wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand comes from the (now debunked, but still poetic) belief that a āvein of loveā ran directly from that finger to the heart.
These days, your ring can be whatever you want it to be: gold or wood, diamonds or tattoos, handed down or handmade. What matters isnāt the materialāitās the moment.
When I photograph this part of a ceremony, I always slow down. Thereās a stillness to it, a gravity. Whether you're exchanging heirlooms or something totally unique, it's the start of your forever.

Letās talk outfit prep for your engagement session!
This is one of the most common questions I get before a shoot, and honestlyāitās a great one. What you wear can totally change the vibe of your photos (and how confident you feel in them).
āØ Hereās my go-to advice:
Donāt matchācoordinate. Instead of identical colors or matching plaid shirts, think complementary tones and textures. If one of you is in soft beige linen, the other might look great in olive or rust.
Neutrals always photograph beautifully, especially against natural backdrops. If youāre shooting near the ocean, forest, or field, softer tones tend to let the two of you shine instead of fighting with the scenery.
š Donāt forget comfort! Your outfits should allow for walking, hugging, twirling, and all the silly-cute stuff weāll do during your session. Layers are great because they add visual interest and can be removed if you want variety.
šÆ Bonus Tip: Bring an extra outfit! Sometimes weāll start casual and end with something more dressyāor vice versa. Itās always good to have options depending on the light, location, and vibe.
Need help choosing? Iām always happy to weigh in or send inspo. You donāt have to figure it all out alone.

Heirloom sparkle, captured in high-def detail. #MacroMonday
Yes, I take photosābut thatās just the start of what I do on a wedding day.
Iāve pinned boutonniĆØres when no one else could figure it out. Iāve sewn dress straps back together in a pinch. Iāve held umbrellas, fetched snacks for flower girls, and calmed nervous hands with a smile and a quiet word.
Some days, Iām part photographer, part problem-solver, part timeline enforcer, part honorary member of the wedding party. Thatās the job. And honestly? I love it that way.
Years in the military taught me how to stay calm under pressure. Years as a dad gave me a sixth sense for when kids (or grown-ups!) are about to melt down. And years of experience behind the camera taught me how to find the beauty in chaos, even when the scheduleās off or the sky decides to pour.
So when you hire me, youāre not just getting someone to document your day. Youāre getting someone whoās ready for whatever the day throws at usāand will handle it with professionalism, humor, and heart.

Did you know the bouquet toss started as a way for guests to get their own share of the brideās āluckā?
Back in medieval Europe, it was believed that touching the bride would bring good fortune. People would literally chase her around and try to grab parts of her dress or flowers (yikes!). To escape the crowd, brides began tossing their bouquets as a distractionāand the tradition stuck.
Now, itās one of the more playful moments in a reception. Whether itās a serious competition or just a lighthearted toss to your crew, itās always high energy, and usually full of laughs.
And if the bouquet toss isnāt your style? Swap it out for a floral dedication to someone special, a āgroup bouquetā for all the single friends, or skip it entirely. The beauty of traditions is that you get to decide which ones feel right.

And if the bouquet toss isnāt your style? Swap it out for a floral dedication to someone special, a āgroup bouquetā for all the single friends, or skip it entirely. The beauty of traditions is that you get to decide which ones feel right.

Each bloom tells a storyāof the season, the mood, and the brideās vision. Macro magic, one petal at a time.

Letās talk about a tradition thatās both sweet and a little superstitious: carrying the bride over the threshold.
This custom actually dates back to ancient Rome. The idea was that evil spirits could enter the bride through the soles of her feetāso by lifting her, the groom was literally protecting her as they entered their new home. Some versions say it also avoided the bad luck of the bride tripping while entering the home for the first time. Others point to a more symbolic meaning: being āswept off your feetā and into a new life together.
Today? Itās mostly just a romantic gesture (and sometimes a great photo op). Whether you keep the tradition or not, it's a reminder that so many wedding moments are steeped in layers of history, love, and symbolismāand itās up to you which ones feel meaningful to carry forward.

Your veil isnāt just a tradition. Itās a statement.
Originally a sign of modesty (and maybe ghost protection? š), now itās all about personal style and stunning photos.
Floaty. Lace-trimmed. Or no veil at all. Do what feels you.

Hey there! I thought it was time for a quick reintroduction. š
Iām Tim, the photographer behind Tide and True. Iām based in Scarborough, Maine, where I live with my wife, our three kids, and a small urban microfarm full of quail, bees, and garden beds. I grew up here, and thereās something about the ocean that always feels like homeāitās where I go to unwind and get inspired.
Photography has always been a passion, but I made it my full-time gig after leaving my software engineering career when our first daughter was born. It was one of the best decisions Iāve ever made. Iām known for a true-to-life style (hence Tide and True), focusing on those real, candid moments youāll actually want to remember.
On wedding days, Iām not just your photographerāIām the one with the emergency kit, ready to fix a popped button or help bustle a gown in record time. Friends would say Iām energetic, funny, and motivated. I just like to keep things relaxed so you can enjoy the day while I capture it all.
If youāre planning a wedding, family session, or branding shoot in Maine (or beyond!) and want photos that feel real, Iād love to chat. And if you made it this farāthanks for being here! ššø
