Photographer Spotlight: Illuminata Photo

Flexible, Fun & Guaranteed!

That's Tim Mulholland's tag line for his business, Illuminata Photo. He's one of the only people I know who state outright- If you're not happy with his services, you're under no obligation to pay. Fortunately, he hasn't had to make good on this promise yet! I guess folks have been pretty happy with his services, and no wonder...

Tim's laid back personality and gentle photojournalistic style is refreshing and produces beautiful timeless images. One of his favorite parts of being a wedding photographer is developing a rapport with his subjects and clients.

His goal is to capture the wedding day in a way that supports the couple's relationship and their marriage. By this, he means that he wants his clients to be able to look through the album and remember the love and support of their families regardless of what comes their way in the future. His photographs reinforce the memories of the special, meaningful, and funny moments in the day.

Here’s a sample testimonial from Google Places

Amazing and helpful Every time that we look at our wedding album, we laugh, cry and smile. Yes, it was our wedding and we'll always have those memories, but it was Tim's beautiful, caring photographs of our day that help to keep it vivid in our minds (and hearts!). My mother can be a very difficult person (and she fancies herself a good photographer), but he got along so well with her (and gave her some great pointers) and everyone else. Tim's in a class by himself in the Madison area - beautiful, respectful, thinking about us, always a step ahead, ready. And, his work is just stunning!

Here are some specs:

Style: Tim is primarily a photojournalist, but also does the traditional formal poses that almost every bride wants! He sets up a smattering fun editorial style shots to help people relax and have fun. His main interest is catching everything everything in the moment, and capturing authentic emotions as things are happening.
