Event & Party Photography
Ashley @ TMM Photo is a true professional!! She communicated with us well by text/email/phone BEFORE our west coast post wedding banquet event to well understand our wants and needs, she separately also reconfirmed the venue date & time to ensure no issues and she arrived on time and ready to go!
But, the best thing is her photography work/skills. Simply outstanding! Ashley delivers on point and she is so creative. Her collection of candid and staged shots were amazing and surely will be treasured forever as she captured the energy, joy and spirit of our day. So well done. Thank you.
We wouldn’t hesitate to hire Ashley again and highly recommend her services for any of your photographic needs….. +10/10!!!!

Incredible Experience with TMM Photo – Unforgettable Engagement + Pregnancy Shoot!
We recently had our engagement photos taken with TMM Photo at Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver, and the entire experience was nothing short of magical.
From the very first moment, the team made us feel completely at ease — professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to every detail.
The park’s lush gardens and sweeping views provided a breathtaking backdrop, and TMM captured it all with an artistic eye that turned every shot into a story. Their direction was clear but never overbearing — we felt natural, relaxed, and genuinely ourselves the entire time. They managed to catch the small, candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening, which made the final gallery feel deeply personal and authentic.
The turnaround was impressively fast, and the quality exceeded our expectations. Every photo is vibrant, emotional, and beautifully composed — we can’t stop looking at them!
If you’re looking for a team that blends creativity with professionalism and truly cares about telling your love story, TMM Photo is it. We’re so grateful to have these memories captured so perfectly.

Photos that look like they belong in Vogue(But Affordable)!"TMM's ability to create editorial-worthy images while keeping prices reasonable is unreal. Their 'signature muted tones with pops of warmth' gave our photos a distinct high-end look different from typical wedding photography. We received countless compliments on how 'expensive' our photos looked - little did they know we paid nearly half of what our friends did for comparable quality. The way they play with shadows and negative space is pure artistry!" More...

"The STEAL of Vancouver Wedding Photography" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "After comparing 8 studios, TMM stood out for their transparent pricing and portfolio consistency. Unlike others pushing expensive add-ons, they helped customize a package that fit our $3k budget WITHOUT sacrificing coverage. The day-of experience was seamless - they arrived early, handled family photos like a diplomat, and even stayed 30 mins extra to catch sunset shots. Our photos look like they cost twice as much. Book them before their prices go up!" More...

We had an amazing experience with TMM Photography! Our family photoshoot was relaxed and fun — even with our two kids running around, the photographer captured so many beautiful and natural moments. We were beyond happy with the results. Since then, we’ve come back to TMM for my maternity photos, our third baby’s one-month session, and more family portraits. The final photos are always full of creativity and delightful surprises. They even incorporated AI to create some really fun and unique photo and video edits. We can’t recommend TMM enough! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret lies in connection—not just technical skill. A great photograph captures emotion, tells a story, and reveals the subject’s essence. Lighting and composition are tools, but authenticity is the magic. I focus on making clients feel comfortable, so their true selves shine through. It’s not just about "taking" a photo; it’s about creating an experience.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
What’s the purpose of these photos? (e.g., branding, personal keepsake)
Describe your vision in 3 words. (e.g., "timeless, bold, intimate")
Any insecurities or must-avoid angles? (Ensures flattering results.)
Who inspires your aesthetic? (Helps tailor the mood.)
How will you use these images? (Guides format/style.)
What do you love most about your job?
I love freezing moments that feel alive—the unguarded laugh, the quiet confidence. Photography isn’t just about pixels; it’s about giving people a mirror to see their own beauty. When a client says, "I’ve never seen myself like this before," that’s the reward.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Frustration with generic, soulless portraits. I wanted to create art that celebrates individuality, not just follows trends. Running my own studio lets me prioritize quality over quantity and build relationships, not just deliver files.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I listen. Many photographers impose their style—I adapt to yours. My technical expertise (lighting mastery, posing guidance) ensures you look flawless, but my focus on emotional authenticity makes the images unforgettable. You’ll feel seen, not just photographed.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Absolutely! While traditional portrait photography requires an in-person session for the highest quality, I offer AI-powered creative transformations for clients who need remote solutions. Here’s how it works:
Submit Your Base Photos
Send me a high-quality, well-lit passport/ID photo (neutral background) or a clear full-body shot (front-facing, minimal shadows).
Technical requirements: High resolution (300+ DPI), no filters, no heavy cropping.
AI Magic & Professional Refinement
I’ll use advanced AI imaging tools (not basic apps!) to:
Seamlessly place you in custom-designed fantasy backgrounds (e.g., cinematic landscapes, surreal art, or luxury settings).
Professionally adjust lighting/shadows to match the new environment.
Enhance details (e.g., fabric textures, natural skin tones) for hyper-realistic results.
Collaborative Process
You’ll receive draft concepts for feedback—want a "dark fairytale forest" or "futuristic metallic" vibe? I’ll refine until it’s uniquely you.
Final files delivered in print-ready formats (JPEG/PNG) with optional retouching (e.g., teeth brightening, subtle wrinkle softening).
Why Trust My AI Process?
No Uncanny Valley: I manually correct AI artifacts (weird hands, warped edges) for flawless realism.
Ethical Guarantee: Your original photos are deleted post-project—no data misuse.
Perfect For: LinkedIn headshots with imaginary corporate skylines, fantasy cosplay portraits, or gifting a "luxury vacation" photo when travel isn’t possible.
Traditional photography purists, fear not—this is a supplemental service. For heirloom-quality portraits, let’s collaborate in-person where the real magic happens. ?
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Studio Hygiene: Medical-grade sanitization between shoots, HEPA air filters.
Contactless Workflow: Digital contracts, touchless payment, optional masked sessions.
Outdoor Options: Open-air shoots with natural light (my specialty!).
Flexible Rescheduling: No penalties for Covid-related changes.
