What a joy it was to work with Tina as our wedding photographer! Tina photographed the wedding of a friend’s sister and I fell in love with the genuine, natural beauty and emotion that she captured in her photographs. From our first Zoom meetin...g, it was clear that Tina cares deeply about her work and approaches her role as a photographer with understated, thoughtful professionalism. We were immediately drawn to her thanks to her calm, kind demeanor and knew that we would appreciate her down-to-earth energy on our wedding day.
Throughout the process, Tina was communicative, responsive, and helpful - brainstorming locations for our engagement photoshoot, answering questions, and providing advice. After a few Zooms and lots of emailing, we first met Tina in person when we traveled to Carmel-by-the-Sea for our engagement shoot. We had a blast exploring the bluffs and beaches with her - it was the first time my husband and I ever had professional photographs taken and Tina helped us feel completely at ease. She suggested poses when needed but also let us simply be ourselves. She shot with both film and digital, editing the digital to match the film for the most “authentic” look. The photos she captured are beautiful yet real - exactly what we hoped for.
On our wedding day, Tina and a second photographer, Dani, joined us for the day. Tina’s even-keeled, grounded energy was the perfect antidote to the moments of wedding day stress. Tina easily directed family members and groups as needed, and efficiently worked her way through the photo list we’d provided, leaving plenty of time for other, unexpected shots. She did an excellent job of being everywhere but never being in the way - clearly, a skill honed through years of experience! Tina provided sneak peeks within three days of our wedding and they were beyond stunning. The lighting, the angles, the facial expressions...she captured everything in a clean, timeless, elegant way. But best of all, every photo is rich with real emotion, transporting us right back to the feeling of our special day. We absolutely cannot wait for the full galleries to come back. If you’re looking for a photographer who will put you at ease, capture the emotion and meaning of your day, and make you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself, Tina is your gal!
