Weddings at Tim Hilbourn Photography

Timeless artistry for your once-in-a-lifetime moments.

At Tim Hilbourn Photography, we believe your wedding story should be told with artistry, emotion, and elegance.
Every smile, tear, and gentle touch is part of a story you’ll relive for generations — and we’re here to preserve it as a masterpiece.

Serving couples throughout the Southest we specialize in fine-art wedding photography that blends heartfelt storytelling with magazine-worthy imagery.

The Experience

Your experience begins long before the “I Do.” We guide you through a seamless, personal process designed to make you feel confident and connected every step of the way.

1. Consultation

We begin with a Studio Tour or Virtual Consultation where we learn your love story, vision, and wedding details. Together, we design a photography plan tailored to your day.

2. Engagement Session

This pre-wedding session helps us get to know each other while creating romantic portraits that celebrate your connection. You’ll feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera before your big day.

3. Wedding Day Coverage

From quiet, emotional moments to the joyous celebration, we photograph your story with a blend of candid emotion and elegant portraiture — capturing your day exactly as it feels.

4. The Reveal & Legacy Artwork

After your honeymoon, we’ll invite you back for your portrait reveal and design consultation. This is where your images come to life — transformed into heirloom albums, giclée wall art, or custom story collections for your home.


Engagement Sessions

Your engagement session is where your story begins.
It’s the perfect chance to celebrate your relationship, show off your personalities, and capture the joy of this exciting chapter.

Choose from studio or on-location sessions (beach, gardens, historic downtowns, etc.)

Bring multiple outfits to show your style

Complimentary with most wedding collections

These portraits often become favorites for save-the-date cards, guest books, or wall art displayed at your reception.

Custom Bridal & Groom Portraits

A Signature Display for Your Wedding Day

Before the big day arrives, we invite you to experience a Custom Bridal or Groom Portrait Session — a timeless tradition reimagined with modern artistry.

These portraits are more than just beautiful photographs; they become statement pieces that set the tone for your wedding day. Displayed at your reception or ceremony, your portrait welcomes guests and captures the excitement of your upcoming celebration.

The Experience

Your portrait session takes place several weeks before the wedding, giving you the opportunity to wear your gown or suit in a relaxed, studio or on-location setting. This allows for creative lighting, fine-art posing, and an unhurried environment — without the time constraints of your wedding day.

We’ll work together to design a session that reflects your personality and style — from glamorous and editorial to soft and romantic.

Each session includes:

A personalized consultation and creative plan

Professional posing and lighting design

A pre-wedding artwork reveal and design session

Custom framing or display options for your reception

Art for Your Celebration

Your portrait can be displayed as a framed print, gallery canvas, or Mix Media/ Oil Painting at your wedding reception. After the celebration, it becomes a cherished centerpiece in your home — a beautiful reminder of where your story began.

Many couples also include this session as part of their wedding collection, allowing us to coordinate the styling and artwork presentation perfectly with your wedding décor.

Wedding Albums & Wall Art

We believe your photographs belong on walls, not just screens.

Our Tim Hilbourn Photography Wedding Albums and Signature Wall Art Collections are handcrafted using archival materials — designed to last for generations.

Choose from:

Heirloom Albums in Italian leather, linen, or metallic covers Metal Prints with modern edge appeal

Matted Art Prints for elegant wall galleries

Artist Proof Giclée Prints — fine-art pieces worthy of display

Every product is created in partnership with you during your post-wedding design consultation.
