Timothy Burke Mannle, Photography

Tim was fantastic to work with! We hired him for a couple hours for our small, family-only wedding in July in Waterford, CT. He was on-time, easy to work with, personable and very efficient. He captured some unbelievable moments and loving looks between my husband and me. Since we hadn't worked with him or even met him before the ceremony we were unsure what to expect, but he exceeded our expectations! Thank you, Tim for you amazing photography!

Tim came recommended to my wife and I through my two cousins, both of whom had him as their wedding photographer. From the word go, he was thoughtful, creative, and forward thinking! A rainy day engagement shoot turned into a really fun first meeting at the Yale Art Gallery. Even when the elements are at play, Tim knows exactly where to go to work around the issues. When he heard we were having our reception on the shoreline, he started looking at locations, and determining when sunset would be nearly 10 months out. It was awesome to work with someone so professional and thorough. Even on the day of our wedding, his second shooter was also incredibly easy to work with, and felt like part of the gang. You don't just hire a vendor with Tim, you make a friend. And that's really rare. On the day of our wedding, he spent time with my one cousin and his newborn daughter, and also congratulated my other cousin on her pregnancy. He becomes invested in your life, not because you hired him, but because he takes the time to get to know you. We could not have been more thrilled with his services, and anyone looking at a wedding photographer should consider him. As my wife said, he's pretty much *the* photographer for the family now!

I hired Tim for my wedding in September and loved working with him! I had been a bridesmaid before and wasnt thrilled with the photo taking process in general. So when I was searching for my own wedding photographer, my top two priorities were obviously great pictures, but also finding someone who was easy to work, efficient and personable. It's so hard to rally a bunch of different personalities for hours of pictures, but Tim was so good at this! My fianc even commented how happy he was with how Tim handled our parents and extended family on our wedding day. He was so patient with us and very helpful with making sure we posed correctly, all without being pushy whatsoever! The pictures themselves were also AMAZING. I am so happy with how he captured the light in our pictures, along with our genuine emotions of the day. He also never shot my venue before, but you sure as heck can't tell from the sneak peaks!! I also gave him a list of people I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to take pictures with and he made sure to connect throughout the reception to remind us to take those pictures. It was so helpful because I know brides who woke up the next morning without important family photos! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. Can't recommend him enough!

Tim is a rare gem as an individual and a photographer. He knows how to help everyone feel comfortable and move along quickly so that portrait photos are not the main focus of the wedding. And he took the most stunning photos of our family and friends with just one click. It was wonderful to have the photos move along so that we would continue on celebrating, but even better that the photos came out priceless, as Tim has such a gift with a lens. His ability to capture the simple, beautiful, poignant moments of such a special day is awe inspiring. We got married six weeks ago and all of our family and friends have been telling us how much they enjoyed working with Tim at the wedding and how great he is. Tim made taking photos fun, engaging and lively. There were no limits and nothing that needed to be done and if we were too caught up in something he would gently guide us into the light. And his passion for his career is palpable, he radiates with joy as he shoots, which then bounces right off those he is shooting, which makes the entire experience so wonderful. My grandmother was in the hospital and unable to attend the wedding. I reached out to Tim right after the wedding (while he was on vacation) asking if there was anyway he could send me one or two photos to show her at our upcoming visit. He responded immediately and took the time to put together a gallery of several stunning photos. My grandmother looked through them and said the photos made her feel like she was actually there. There's no way that my husband and I can thank Tim enough for making that happen. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and much of that is attributed to Tim. Besides being an extremely gifted photographer, he is the nicest, most down to earth and relaxed man who is delightful to engage in conversation with. Oh and did I mention that Tim sent us ALL of our photos within five weeks of our wedding? I was stunned when I received the full gallery and every time I look through the photos, tears of joy fill my eyes. They are utterly phenomenal. Tim went above and beyond shooting our engagement photos and our wedding and I highly recommend anyone looking to work with a photographer, look no further. You have found the diamond in the rough, my friend. Tim is incomparable.

We first met Tim at a showcase at Anthonys Ocean View (our home reception venue) where we originally planned to use the resort photographer at our destination resort. We got to talking about our plans for our Mexico reception, when Tim shared with us how he had just shot a wedding not too far from our resort, what a small world! We exchanged information and decided to meet in person. He listened, and asked a lot of questions. He made sure the fit was just right, understood our vision as we wanted it captured and how hes captured weddings in the past. When thinking of lifelong memories that would be timeless when looking at our photos, hiring Tim was a no brainer. Working with Tim just happened organically, not to mention he did everything he could to make sure that I was calm leading up to the main event. It was all the little things that made him an unforgettable hire, he danced with us all night long, captured some awesome candids, got involved when attention was needed (even though it wasnt asked of him-which really made everything else flow). I can rant all day about him, Tim you exceeded all of our expectations and could not have captured our day any more perfect! With so much love and appreciation, Mr. & Mrs. Paradis
