Wedding, Family, & Couples Photographer
Based in Chicago
Photography that takes a stand.
Deepwell is my concept of what photography should do for us.
I am Joe Tighe, a Chicago-based wedding, couples, & family portrait photographer. I believe that photography should stand the test of time, help you remember the little things, and stand for authenticity.

Hi, I’m Joe.
I started taking photos when I was just 11 years old, experimenting with my dad’s 1970’s Nikon. I’ve always been fascinated with a photograph’s unique ability to separate moments from time … for me, photography is a method of understanding the world.
I love to ride in Chicago. Maybe you can find me for a mini shoot! Find Joe.

Don’t worry — you’re in the right spot. I am still Joe and my company is now Deepwell Photo.

What my past clients are saying…
“Hiring Joe Tighe as our photographer was among the best decisions we made. When we had our introductory meeting with Joe, he cemented our interest in working together when he talked about his documentary/journalistic-type style: emphasis on natural moments rather than the staged ones. And did he deliver!”
— Gina
“Joe was totally amazing. He's such an easy person to be around. Throughout the booking process, he had great patience and respect for us, quick responses, and great ideas. We could tell right away that he is a total pro and confident in his skills.”
— Della W.
“We absolutely loved working with Joe at Couple of Dudes (now Deepwell). He immediately made us feel comfortable in our early phone conversations and at our engagement shoot. We felt like we had known him for years--mostly because he cared so much about capturing what was most important to us.”
— Ellen S
