BNLOVe Studio

turing both the beauty and emotion of a moment. Tara is easy to work with, professional, has excellent time and people management skills, and is just fun to be around with a great sense of humor! She fit right in with our bunch and everyone loved her! She is the kind of person that just puts you at ease, which is great because weddings can be a little stressful... Tara's #1 super power is being able to be everywhere without being intrusive. I don't remember seeing her during the ceremony (I may have been a little distracted!) but those pictures are some of my absolute favorites - so gorgeously captured! She is thorough and organized and does not leave anything to chance. We went off site for our first look and she took the time to go there ahead of time, so that she knew every great location and background she wanted in our pictures. She is also incredibly kind and thoughtful. After we booked her, she sent US a thank you note and the day of the wedding, she brought both my husband and I little surprises. I appreciated how much she appreciated our business. The day after our wedding, we got a sneak peek of our photos and we got our entire photo gallery back within 3 weeks! So fast! It has been so much fun to relive our special day through her photos. She also managed to get great pictures of every.single.person at the wedding and it’s been so much fun to share them with our family and friends. We cannot recommend her highly enough and hiring her was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We have received so many compliments and have been asked repeatedly how we are going to choose which pictures to print. My answer is one of each. :o) We will absolutely be hiring her in the future….because not only does she take AMAZING wedding photos, but she also takes AMAZING family and newborn pictures! Thank you so much, Tara!

so does everyone that's seen them! I can't say enough good things about her, please do yourself a favor and eliminate some stress by booking her! Totally going back to her for all of my photo needs going forward. Thanks Tara! <3

e could meet in person. Right away we knew Tara was the photographer for us. Very quickly she came up with a time line for our wedding and was even the one who recommended our DJ to us. Tara seemed to fit right into our group of friends and family on the big day. She had no problem telling groomsmen and bridesmaids to fix something for a photo, and our bridal party are not the easiest people sometimes. She even completed some tasks that were not in her job title, like bustling my dress. Finally, all of the photos were absolutely gorgeous. I still hear from people how beautiful the photos are and how they wish they had had Tara for their wedding. Marshall and I are already pregnant and will be getting into contact with Tara about maternity photos and infant photos soon. Oh, by the way, Tara is by far the best priced photographer I researched. Just icing on the cake.

ast on her feet, taking full advantage of a beatiful MT night sky and doing her magic. We’ll have these photos forever and we are so grateful to her. We highly recommend BNLOVe Studio.

n better than we could have dreamed. Tara helped us throughout the whole “posing” proceess and made us feel comfortable and totally at ease. I can’t recommend Tara enough!!!

photos of our guests at the reception which made a lovely thank you gift for them. She came and toured our venue the day before, and finished our photos quickly. I love her!

d talented, but she was also easy going, kind and FUN! She posted a "sneak peak" blog post of pictures less than two hours after our wedding reception ended and the photos were breathtaking!! She went above and beyond, showed such kindness and grace toward all of our guests, made us feel calm and truly captured the most amazing wedding photos we have ever seen. I can not count how many people have said that they have never seen wedding photos as beautiful as the ones Tara took on our special day! Tara, thank you for capturing those oh so precious moments from the first day of our lives as Man and Wife.

e out!! Tara has an amazing personality and pizzazz about her she fits in perfectly with our friends and family and made the day that much more enjoyable!! Do not hesitate to contact her for you but day it will be one of the best decisions you make that day other than saying "I Do"!!!

sonable, funny, and truly cared about what we pictured for our wedding. She was so easy to work with and flexible with specific photographs we wanted taken. I felt like I had ZERO worries on the day of the wedding because Tara was ON IT! She was efficient, kept the bridal party engaged, and was just a blast throughout all of the photographs. The guests were RAVING about how great she was before we even got any pictures back! And then... THE NIGHT OF OUR WEDDING, Tara sent us just a couple pictures as a sneak peek :) THEY WERE STUNNING. Like... I cried because they were so beautiful. She edited and sent the rest of our pictures to us less than a month from the wedding. Tara and her assistant really captured every magical moment of the most perfect day of our lives! Thank you, Tara, for making our day even more perfect than we could have ever imagined!!

iously could not have done this without her....You will not be disappointed with Tara!!

er nervous, as well as a big, boisterous crowd in general. Tara was firm, but fun and professional in wrangling our partiers and ensuring we got all of the memories we wanted captured, and we love our photos!

rcastic sense of humor but made sure the day went flawlessly and kept everyone on schedule with pictures. Not to mention we just love how our photos turned out and are constantly getting compliments on them and how beautiful, artistic and not the typical wedding photos they are. We couldn't be happier with our selection of wedding photographer. We can't wait to use her down the road for other life events. She also does the cutest newborn photos.

oose from. I highly recommend BNlove studio!

th (even when I was not) and capture our day perfectly even when I was not even sure what I wanted. From our initial meeting to the engagement shoots to the wedding, Tara was professional and prompt with all of her work, while still poking fun and me and Joe when we needed it. While her work really speaks for itself, her talents going beyond the print and to her interactions with the client, and the family. All of our parents were really happy with the final product, so were all of our friends. She did not just worry about capturing us at our best, but everyone else, and our pup! She was really quick with everything and was almost invisible when she needed to be. She double, triple checked with me before she left for the evening as well, and had our sneak peek up before we went away for our honeymoon that Monday! Her choice in secondary photographer was also incredible. Thank you so much Tara, this will definitely NOT be the last time I force you to work with me!

at would have been true without Tara. She Is easy to work with, makes great suggestions for photos and wedding timeline, helps smooth issues, and handles franca like a boss. All I can say is hire her.

the same to me. Tara's portfolio however was amazing. Her photos are encompassed a soft, candid style with perfect lighting and color. She laid out a timeline for the day of which helped kept the wedding party and family on schedule. I received my sneak peek a day or two after my wedding as was in awe of her work as well as all our friends and family. Tara is so easy-going and loves what she does, I'm so happy to have had her be a part of my wedding. You can all stop reading this review now and just BOOK RALA PHOTOGRAPHY!!! :D

was professional, kind, and patient. Getting the traditional shots required of all married couples and their families was a smooth and effortless process, but what was most exciting was to see her creativity loosed when we stopped at a separate location on the way to the reception for some additional bridal party photos - in fact some of our favorite photos came from her impromptu spirit of play. She never felt like an imposition on the events of the day but rather an essential part of them, and went over and above to make sure that our wedding day was perfectly recorded from the first moments of getting ready to the last dances of the evening. Afterwards, she worked quickly to ensure we had our first batch of photos, but without sacrificing quality. The photos were truly amazing! From the grand sweeping shots to the most minute details, each image was lovingly captured. Tara was a gem and we were so lucky to have found her.

she hopes to capture. Our sneak peak was full of amazing images and there were a ton more in our full gallery that rounded out the pictures. My parents went on and on about how fantastic she was. When my dad was attempting to be the paparazzi she had a wonderful way of getting him to sit down without hurting his feelings! She was a blast at the party! I would highly recommend Tara to any bride or groom. She provided us with amazing memories of our special day :)

ara is able to provide professionalism all while keeping the moments light and fun! There wasn't a shot that she missed and there wasn't anything she wasn't willing to help out with! We will absolutely be using her in the future for each of our major celebrations that we want captured! Thank you Tara!

Tara is very easy to work with and will do anything to get the perfect shot. She was extremely thorough in prepping for our wedding day to ensure we took all the photos that we wanted. We would recommend Tara to anyone looking for a high-quality photographer!

y professional, knew exactly what she was doing, and even helped us with the timing of the day. I don't think I'll ever hire another photographer, can't wait to have her capture more of our special moments!

h the pictures!) She is extremely easy to work with, attentive, and takes gorgeous photographs. After she posted our "sneak peek" (which was the next day!), my family and friends couldn't wait to see the rest! Tara remembered every photo I requested and knew exactly where the best shots were at our venue. This made my day run so smoothly; I didn't have to think. I would highly recommend!

tting married. She was very organized, and I got my photos back quickly. She completely captured everything I wanted for my wedding and more.

onality and her style. She has our highest recommendation!

he style was fun - exactly what I was looking for. We set up a Skype session to meet Tara - since we live out of town - and I knew from that moment she was it. Tara is the most open, honest, down-to-earth, rad chick and vibed perfectly with my husband and I. We did an engagement shoot at Blue Mountain in Palmerton, PA. Tara was on her skis, going downhill backwards to capture the perfect photos. We had a blast! Throughout the entire process, I felt as though Tara and I had been friends for years rather than having just met. Leading up to our wedding day, Tara checked in periodically and was always prompt to answer any questions I had, which was super comforting as an out-of-town bride. On our wedding day, everything was flawless. Tara and her second shooter, Claire, arrived early and kept the day moving. I never felt rushed or as though we were following a set list. I had only asked for a couple specific photos and she made sure to take them. She was super flexible and such a big part of our day. We've been married over 6 months and I never get tired of admiring the art Tara and Claire created. We have gotten countless compliments on her behalf. Tara is super talented and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

ique ideas to make our pictures so beautiful. I don't know of anyone else who would willing to lay on the ground just to get the picture perfect... Especially at 9 months pregnant! We are so very appreciate of Tara for everything she has done for us and look forward to working with her again in the future. I will recommend her to everyone and cannot imagine using another vendor to be a part of our special day! Tara, you really are the best!! Thank you so much!!! I loveeeee every single picture and can't wait to share with our family and friends!!

I wanted to use a "baby portrait" person to shoot my wedding, I was looking for something edgy and fun. But because my friend highly recommended her, I decided to check RLP out. Turns out, she is not a baby photographer (although she does that for clients) - she is an amazing wedding photographer. Tara and her back-up shooter were professional, with just enough seriousness to keep everyone focused, but also just enough spunk to keep it fun. We got some amazing Traditional shots, as well as some really fun and creative photos. My only regret is not buying the Boudoir package as wedding present for my hubby! Good news is, RaLa Photography is reasonably priced and since we didn't have to break the budget to hire her, there just might be enough funds left to do something special for Christmas or Valentines. I'm thinking Boudoir calendar for my new honey! Thank you RaLa!

. Tara is very talented and extremely kind I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Thank you Tara!

attered all over the place! Tara had many ideas for pictures and different poses for different locations, we also did a lot of fun pictures with the bridal party. Would absolutely recommend!

gift I could have received to have her take complete control and direct the day's activities. She is the most professional, knowledgeable, experienced professional I dealt with. She truly was instrumental to this day being the best in our lives. And the quality of work! No words to describe how pleased I am. RaLa photography is simply amazing!

of our pictures - she captured all of our personalities. I highly recommend her! You won't be disappointed.

ach other and said "she's the one" - there was no hesitation. We had a crazy request for our engagement photos (to have our classic car heavily included) and Tara killed it. She took such incredible photos of our car (and of us, of course) and everyone raved about them for months. I have gotten my sneak peek photos from her from our recent wedding and I was blown away. She made our photos fun, quick, and easy. She is so down to earth and she is a true sweetheart. We are so happy that she was a part of our big day!!

ara take absolutley breathtaking photos, she is very easy to deal with. I felt like I was hanging out with one of my girlfriends. She puts your mind at ease and is able to capture the photos effortlessly. Tara also was able to get shots quick and painlessly without sacrificing the photos we wanted. I would recommend her to anyone. She is in my opinion more that 5 stars and I hope to work with her again in the future!

fortable. Our engagement photos were just as amazing as the wedding photos. She has a very artistic eye and not just boring "stand around and take photos" point of view. She gets to know her clients and their comfort zone. We trusted her expertise and got some pretty amazing shots. I will recommend Tara to EVERYONE I know getting married. Best decision we made!

mmend Rala Photography. We used Tara for both our engagement photos and wedding day and have loved every photo we have seen. Her work speaks for itself, and she has amazing customer service skills that can allow any bride to feel at ease.

l that I can honestly say I was not a stressed out bridezilla. What I love must about Tara is that she knows exactly what she is doing. I never had to come up with my own ideas because every shot she wanted to take with either a pose or setting I knew would look breathtaking. When we first met Tara, I told her that I really did not want dramatic intense pictures where my husband and I didn't look like ourselves. I wanted fun pictures, where we actually looked like we were enjoying ourselves. From our engagement pictures to our wedding pictures, I can honestly we say we were having a blast in each pictures. After my husband and I took all of our pictures at Monmouth University in NJ, we were soo hungry with a three hour gap between the church ceremony and the reception. When we told Tara we were stopping at the Windmill in Long Branch, NJ, for a hot dog ( yes in a wedding dress) she was so excited with tons of fun ideas. My husband and I assumed they would be our extra fun pictures, I am absolutely shocked on how exquisite they look. She made the Windmill look so vintage and so old fashioned Jersey Shore that I think they are my absolute favorite so far. We have only seen our " sneak peak" and are completely obsessed with every picture! we cannot wait to see the rest. If you want a photographer who will let you express yourself and your own personalities who is professional with an awesome personality..Tara with Rala photography is your girl. I hope I can use her in the future for other events or milestones. Thank you Tara! Love, The Ranieri Family

g day: your marriage and your pictures! No one really remembers what your centerpieces looked like, what songs the DJ played and how the food tasted, but your photos are your forever reminders of the actual day. That being said: Hiring Tara was one of the BEST decisions I made regarding my wedding (besides marrying my incredible husband =) From day one, Tara made a unique connection with my now-husband and I. She was one of the first wedding vendors to actually ask about us and our story, not just budget, timeline and theme. She made us feel special and important and that we weren't just another client. We weren't convinced we wanted engagement pictures, but it was the only part of her package that she required (she was unbelievable flexible with everything else) and we were so glad she did! It was the perfect opportunity to get to know her and see a sample of her work. She was FABULOUS! To speak to her dedication for the perfect shot, at one point, she climbed thigh deep into a lake we were shooting at to capture a particular angle. We were FLOORED by the incredible pics we got for our engagement shoot and used them for our save the date (we actually used 9 pictures because they were all so amazing, we couldn't pick just one). She took time with us before the big day to get to know us and even asked about our family members so she knew how to handle the family dynamic (who was sensitive and needed to be handled gently, which family members may or may not be talking, if anyone had special needs or just interesting personalities, as all families do!) She kept us on track throughout the entire day, getting every shot we wanted and to every location on time. The night of our wedding she posted 40 edited pictures as a sneak peek. Her work is INCREDIBLE!!! I was so happy with my experience with Tara and would recommend her to anyone!

for unique photographs and really captures everything. She did an amazing job and I highly recommend her. It is going to be hard to pick only so many pictures for our photo album as there are so many great ones!

lute best! Not only is her work fantastic, fun, and creative...she is so great to work with. She helped make our day go by without a hitch and managed to capture so many memories throughout the day and night!

er office. She ran through a quick timeline of how our wedding day would unfold. We thought this was really helpful because there were no surprises. She was the only photographer we met with that did this. Tara has a really laid back and calm demeanor. She is really positive and excited about her work. On our wedding day, she did a great job of motivating the wedding party. Her upbeat personality kept everyone laughing and enjoying their time spent in front of the camera. She is really personable. Even my 91 year old grandfather and her hit it off. She did a great job of keeping the huge wedding party together and focused. During the reception, you could hardly tell Tara and her assistant Jaye were there. Tara and Jaye both were able to capture the feeling of the evening through the lens. Our wedding took place in Asbury Park, New Jersey in Berkeley Ocean Front Hotel. It was very important to us to have photographs that gave off a feel of the location that is very special to us. RaLa Photography did just that. We honestly could not have asked for better photographs or nicer people to work with. If you haven't done so already, you should book your wedding photos with them.

rfectionist-type bride, and she instantly put my mind at ease! With my modern, simplistic style, Tara quickly grasped my vision for the wedding and not only helped with planning the photography, but was also able to provide some insight into other vendors and general planning for the wedding. We knew we wanted engagement pictures and that we couldn't live without our destination photography location in Central Park. Tara easily made this work and her availability was so flexible with our busy, ever-changing schedules. She was super fun and our pictures really exemplified our true selves, real smiles and poses that conveyed the love and silliness our relationship encompasses. She kept us laughing while snapping TONS of pictures and keeping the quick flow of the shoot. Our engagement pictures were done so quickly and we were able to incorporate them into our guestbook. After the engagement session, I knew that my wedding day would be fun and worry-free as Tara was helpful and her work is top-notch. She arrived early on my wedding day and did not wait to begin clicking away. She captured the minute details and the most emotional, life-changing moments. She helped me to feel excited, and even put up with a few of my tears when I couldn't control my excitement and happiness to see my handsome groom. My husband and I ended up choosing to do a "first look" prior to the ceremony and Tara helped to amplify the intimacy of the moment, making it so memorable and special (even with the goofiest groom there is!). She kept my wild, inappropriate bridal party on-track and we made it to the aisle after roaming various locations in Asbury Park. She was helpful in guiding me throughout the wedding and enjoying the ceremony and reception. We were even able to sneak out and catch a few kisses for the camera during the sunset. Even with the thunderstorms and down pouring rain, Tara captured the most stunning and classy pictures. I gushed and cried tears of happiness when I viewed ALL of the photographs she took - unbelievably beautiful and flawless! She captured zillions of photos of our guests too, which I was so excited about. The turn-around of receiving all of our pictures was SO fast and the sneak-peeks help to get through! Her attention to detail and touches to the pictures are impeccable. I can't imagine anyone else capturing our engagement, wedding, and even a little gift for the groom. I am lucky to have found a photographer with such talent and someone I can now even call a friend. Thank you, Tara - WE LOVE YOU! Daniel & Kristi
