My goal for your wedding day is to capture it as it unfolds. I want anyone who looks through your photographs years from now to be able to tell the story of your beautiful day. I want to photograph the emotions as well as the tiny details that are often looked over or forgotten soon after, so that you can remember your special day exactly as it was, for years to come. I want to create timeless images that you'll be able to relive your day through again and again.
Since I began my business in 2008 I have photographed hundreds of weddings. I have formed amazing friendships with some amazing couples and have gone on to photograph the growing families of those couples.
Booking Tara for our wedding photographer was the best decision I made while planning our big day! She went above and beyond for our wedding day, day after session and sessions leading up to the wedding. Not only did our pictures turn out beautiful, Tara was also such a joy to work with! Her sweet and laid back personality made all of us feel at ease throughout our wedding day. Thank you again, Tara! I will forever cherish the memories you have captured for us over the past year!
I now accept only a limited number of weddings each year and I reserve weekends for weddings only (no portrait sessions.) Once my wedding limit is reached the remaining weekends are reserved for my family. I want to focus of giving each couple a wonderful experience; working together leading up to and on the big day. As you determine your wedding budget never underestimate the value of photography.
I require a minimum of 6 hours of wedding day coverage to book.
Tara, words cannot even describe how thrilled I am with the photos! Everyone absolutely loves them! My husband and I stayed up ALL NIGHT when we received the gallery, I have never laughed (or cried) so much just by looking at pictures! You truly captured our story, our personalities, and our love. I have been dreaming to have you as my wedding photographer since I was a freshman in highschool! I am completely in LOVE with your work. When I first contacted you to book, I was beyond ecstatic that you were available, I kept thinking "never in a million years would I be able to get her", I swear I was doing back flips when you said my wedding date was open! You are an incredible artist, and an inspiration to so many people. I am honored to not only have such an amazing artist as my photographer, but an incredible person. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for everything you have done, thank you for the memories that I will forever cherish (and have plastered all over my walls), and thank you for creating such a beautiful story. I cannot WAIT for you to do pictures for us in the future!
