Tara and her team were an absolute dream to work with during our wedding day. First, our photos turned out wonderful. From the location shots to the candids during the festivities,...
the work she did is some of our most cherished possessions as we start our life together.
Just as important was the professionalism displayed throughout the planning and the execution of our wedding day. With such a stressful day, it was a godsend to have one less thing to worry about. The communication was great before hand and once the big day arrived she took care of everything. It was evident very early in the day that we were very lucky we chose her to shoot our wedding and by the end of the night we were so grateful we were insisting that she stayed to enjoy the rest of the festivities.
We couldn't recommend Tara enough for anyone in the market for a wedding photographer. If you are researching review after review for your decision I have total confidence you will feel as great with your decision as we did. We will be using her going forward as our family grows.

My wife and I are a Chicago based couple and booked Tara for our wedding as we got her name from a wedding planner. She did a great job communicating with us leading up to the wedd...
ing and was paid in full when we booked her. Unfortunately, after our celebration in August, we had a different experience.
She went dark. Social media messages and emails went unanswered, leaving us with the impression that we would not receive our photos. Face-to-face at our event my wife and I asked when the photos would be ready because we wanted to give them to family as gifts for the holidays. She assured us we would receive them before Thanksgiving. We did not. The only person Tara consistently communicated with was the wedding planer. We did not receive our photos until we got a lawyer and communicated that to the wedding planner in last ditch effort before moving to litigation after the new year. Even then, the photos we received did not include extended family photos that we emphasized to her held more importance to us.
Whether it’s in Chicagoland or Southern Illinois, explore other options. We had a negative experience with her and would not recommend her.
Any questions?

Tara at Nuxoll Photography takes good pictures, but her communication skills are very lacking. I tried to communicate with her during the planning process to make sure we would hav...
e enough time for pictures and she never responded. Then, one week before the wedding, her and I were on the phone and she tried to say we would not have enough time and she tried to propose a change to the schedule, which obviously is not possible one week before a wedding. We also had a hard time with her lack of communication when we were waiting on our engagement pictures. We are happy with how our pictures look, but her lack of communication definitely added stress to the wedding planning.

I have been involved in two weddings where Tara was the photographer. I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding and I love the way her photos turned out soo much that I hired Tara ...
for my own wedding. In both weddings Tara was an absolute dream to work with. She had soo many smart and cute ideas in both of our weddings and each were unique venues that she demonstrated such an amazing eye for capturing the right moment.
Beyond the photographs, I hired her for my own wedding because she was such a wonderful woman to have around in such intimate times. She was so professional and personable that she made it fun to have her around. My wedding party and family loved her and she brought out so many genuine smiles from all of us that the pictures could not have turned out better.
After seeing Tara work her magic in two different weddings, I could not recommend her more to anyone who is in the market for a photographer.

ery stressful and it was so nice to know I had one less thing to worry about.
On the day of our wedding she was the consummate professional and we had the best experience having her around on our big day. The ideas she had and her bedside manner made for such a fun and enjoyable experience. The photographs she delivered (perfectly on time) were just incredible, we absolutely love and cherish them.
Beyond her professionalism and photography skill, she was just such a nice and wonderful woman to plan with and have around for one of the most important days of my life. I encourage everyone to hire her for your next wedding or photoshoot, and I guarantee that you will have the same wonderful experience we did.

el comfortable, beautiful, and truly seen.
Her eye for candid moments is unbelievable. When we got our gallery back, I cried all over again… the photos felt like reliving the day from start to finish. Every detail, every laugh, every quiet moment was captured with so much intention and artistry.
Our families are still talking about how kind, patient, and organized Tara was. She handled our big Chicago wedding flawlessly, even with unpredictable weather and a chaotic timeline.
If you’re a bride looking for someone who is not only talented but genuinely cares, book Tara. She made our wedding unforgettable, and our photos are something we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
