The most empathetic photographer I’ve ever met – this is SO me in these photos! Not only do I somehow look surprisingly good (hello angles/lighting 😉), but I actually feel like I’m seeing myself. Tina really managed to capture my personality. And at the same time, she made it feel like we were just casually chatting about life, like old friends catching up after ages… I never felt “watched” or pressured to perform for the camera. Quite the opposite – I was more relaxed than I’ve ever been at a photoshoot! Tina has an amazing eye for those perfect moments that feel totally natural, almost like a snapshot, but still super intentional. 100% recommend!

Tina is amazing. I am not someone that likes to be photographed, but I needed some photos for a book I wrote. She put me at ease and the results were amazing. Book her! You will not be disappointed.

Blau and Bloom Weddings is my wedding photography company with my studio for engagement shoots in the heart of La Jolla! I'm a European fashion and editorial photographer and am shooting engagement photos in exactly that style- editorial, stylish, loving and connected! My style might be a bit different from that of US photographers. I LOVE the moments of genuine happiness, and am thrilled to photograph bridal portraits as well, since shooting for British Bridal Vogue, it is one of my passions! Above all, I'm truly invested in your moment and will make sure that you will have memories for a lifetime. Think different- think outside the box! I would love to hear from you! And congrats on your engagement!

Tina-Jane Krohn

Photographer

Hey — I’m Tina, a European editorial & fashion photographer who just traded Berlin's gray weather for sunshine and moved to San Diego. I’ve spent my camera’s life traveling the globe, shooting for the New York Times, British Bridal Vogue, The Washington Post, National Geographic Channel and top European outlets — and I’ve had the thrill of photographing everyone from Mads Mikkelsen to Nancy Pelosi and Eric Swalwell. I bring an editorial eye and a fashion-sense to wedding photography: clean composition, cinematic moments, and the kind of storytelling that feels as polished as a magazine spread but as warm and real as the moments you will have on your big day. If you are looking for unique couple portraits, editorial bridal portraits and of course... your wedding day-I I would like to hear from you!

Tina is exceptional. From our first conversation through the final delivery, she was easy and delightful to work with (and fast with processing). Her pricing is incredibly fair— an...

d especially so for the level of talent and care she brings. On the wedding day, she put us at ease every step of the way with her calm, positive energy. She played a key role in creating our favorite moments—guiding us in ways that allowed her to beautifully capture them. The photos were phenomenal (as friends, family and mere acquaintances all remark). Tina has a gift for capturing intimate, beautiful, and fleeting moments. We feel so fortunate to have shared our day with her.

you knew existed! Of course, she is also professional, organized, and truly a lovely person - but her skill at the intersection of people and a camera lens is really what makes her one of a kind!!

Excellent headshots. The lighting, the care, the beauty in being you and natural , doesn’t compare with what I’d done before! I am so happy to have found Tina!

he photos? To live happily ever after for! Tina brought her "I photograph actors and ballet dancers" flair to our humble 2 person + virtual guests wedding and it could not have been better! 100% recommend!

Where do I even begin! From the moment we met, we knew we were in good hands, but nothing could have prepared us for just how beautiful the final result would be. The pictures are ...

simply stunning. Tina managed to capture every genuine moment, every laugh, and every emotion in the most authentic and beautiful way. If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, unobtrusive, and delivers work that truly takes your breath away, she is the one. Highly, highly recommend!

ompletely at ease - one thing, we could tick off our todo list and be less nervous about! On the day itself, Tina was an absolute joy to have around. She blended into the background effortlessly, capturing moments we didn't even know were happening, while also being brilliantly organised whenever we needed her to wrangle the family for group shots. When the photos arrived, we were genuinely speechless. She has such a beautiful eye. The light, the little glances, the in-between moments that tell the real story of the day. We look at these photos and feel everything all over again. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, warm, and truly invested in capturing your day authentically, look no further. Tina is exceptional, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you Tina!!!

I've had the opportunity to hire many great photographers over the years, but once I started working with Tina I never looked back. Not only is she incredibly organized and effici...

ent, but she's also one of those magical people that makes you feel like you've known each other for a million years. This makes shooting with her a lot of fun. She is also a great listener and always manages to elevate my scraps of ideas so that I come away with images that make me look great. I honestly can not say enough great things about Tina. Hire her: you'll be glad you did.

Dr. Heather H

When I received my proofs, from Tina I was almost in tears.. She did not just take photographs. She saw me, captured me, and gave me images that made me feel genuinely beautiful. ...

As a woman stepping into one of the biggest moments of my life, having my author photos done for the back cover of my book, I needed someone who could hold that significance. Tina did that and more. Her artistry is exceptional. But what sets her apart is her ability to make you feel completely at ease, completely yourself, and completely stunning all at once. I walked away not just with exquisite photos, but with a experience I will never forget. If you are looking for a photographer who delivers work that moves you, look no further. Tina is the one.
