Pamela Tatz Photography

uper easy and the communication was great! We were looking for someone to capture us as is with a true to color and a more candid, less “pose-y”, vision for our day. She really listened to everything we envisioned for the day and she definitely delivered. On the day of the wedding Pamela and her team were professional and reliable. They showed up early and brought the energy and vibes and made myself, my husband, and our party feel so comfortable. My husband was a little nervous that taking a ton of pictures wouldn’t be fun but he had a blast with his groomsmen! They even had a TikTok viral moment that left us with some really fun photos and Pamela and her team were there to capture the whole thing! We got married at a golf course and I thought some of the areas to take photos would be a bit tough or weird and Pamela’s creativity made every location look like it was made to be in the photo. She also helped us recreate a photo that my parents took at the same location on their wedding day! The whole day felt so natural and didn’t feel forced at all. I feel as though they truly captured us as who we are and that was exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. She got us our sneak peeks so quickly and we were blown away by them. They had us immediately reliving our day and crying over how beautifully she captured it. Then the full gallery was delivered and boy oh boy! It had us and our family members feeling all the feels and all the love from that day. The photos were ART. Absolutely beautiful! We feel so blessed to have had our wedding captured by Pamela and her team. We got so many great ones back that we don’t even know how we are going to fit all the perfect ones into an album. There are that many! Every photo told the story of our day and really highlighted who we are as a couple. The sheer amount of joy that radiated from each image just proves how well she captured us true to ourselves and to that day. Pamela and her team captured everything! The points of view, the small intimate moments, the candid reactions of us, our party, family and friends were all captured with such expertise. We are still blown away. Each image is a work of art and lets us relive all the emotions we experienced during our wedding. Pamela and her team managed to capture and create timeless memories that we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend and cannot thank Pamela and her team enough!

me to get to know us, and her experience behind the camera had her capturing all the lovely details I wouldn’t have thought to ask for. Her style is golden dipped light —she made us feel and look like a million bucks in front of the camera. You will not be sorry you have her at your wedding —I will treasure the photos she took for the rest of my life. Thorough, professional, patient, and talented are the words I would use to describe the wonderful Pamela.

love; bursting at the seams with life. She truly did a wonderful job. Pam also took our engagement photos which we were enthralled with. We described the photoshoot often and warmly to friends afterward. I would recommend Pam to any couple looking for well-lit, artistically pleasing, authentic photos of their big day. My wife and I are very picky, and also quite pleased with the results!

rm and inviting energy made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. As an LGBTQ+ couple it was very important to us to work with vendors who respected not only us but every guest attending our wedding and Pamela exceeded our expectations. During our engagement photo shoot Pamela knew all the best poses and ways to get us laughing! On our wedding day her and her team worked seamlessly to capture every single moment - from our first look to our last dance she truly went above and beyond to capture it all! She delivered hundreds of sneak peek photos and videos within 72 hours of our wedding day! Pamela was incredibly responsive and flexible and we loved every minute we spent working with her!

alm, beautiful, and celebrated. Her photos are stunning - she really can do it all. She took lovely portraits of us and our family, moody editorial shots, captured the joy of the day with fantastic candids and was even down to take photos of us planning tennis in our wedding clothes. The icing on the take? We got incredible sneak peaks of our wedding within 48 hours of the event! Working with Pamela was easy - she is communicative, responsive, and proactive. She was very helpful in the planning process for the wedding and even recommended other vendors to us (who we loved working with). We cannot recommend Pamela enough!!

this is one way to aptly describe Pamela Tatz Photography, and more specifically, the woman behind the lens, Pamela Tatz herself. Exactly a year ago, I stumbled upon an IG reel that a venue had reposted showcasing Pamela's recent work capturing a wedding for a couple. As a newly engaged bride, I had scoured through countless photographers in search of someone who could bring my vision to life. However, no one quite seemed to match what I was looking for until I stumbled upon Pamela's work. It might sound dramatic, but watching her reel gave me chills, igniting my imagination with the magic she could bring to our special day. Without hesitation, I reached out, and within a week, we were on track with our consultation call. While the details of that initial call have faded with time, what remains clear is the joy Pamela brought to our conversation. Her friendly, laid-back demeanor coupled with unwavering professionalism made the decision to hire her an easy one. There was no debate; my then-fiancé had no choice but to trust my judgment. Months later, we embarked on our engagement shoot at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Beyond the thrill of having our own paparazzi, it was delightful getting to know Pamela and spending time with her. Some people can become tiresome after a few hours, but Pamela was certainly not one of them. In the lead-up to our wedding, she remained in constant communication, joining us for our venue walk-through, and readily addressing any questions we had. On the big day, Pamela arrived promptly, even earlier than scheduled, and dedicated a full 10.5 hours to us, capturing every moment from our traditional tea ceremony to the Catholic mass and reception. Her professionalism and camaraderie made it feel as though we were all old friends. She seamlessly directed her team while maintaining a warm rapport with everyone. I had a surprise planned for my husband, which I communicated to Pamela beforehand, and she ensured her team was in on it, resulting in a flawless execution. She treated my parents and elderly guests with the utmost respect, a gesture that did not go unnoticed. Now, three weeks after our wedding, we are still receiving compliments on the professionalism and composure displayed by Pamela and her team. The entire day unfolded with pure perfection, and we never felt overwhelmed or pulled away excessively for photos. Pamela even had a discreet "code" in place for when we needed a break from the festivities, showcasing her thoughtfulness. A photographer can indeed make or break your wedding day, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have had Pamela and her exceptional talents guiding us through ours. The sneak peeks she provided the next day left us speechless, and we've been unable to pick our jaws up since. In all seriousness, Pamela is truly remarkable, and we look forward to the opportunity of working with her again in the future. Otherwise, we will continue to wholeheartedly recommend her to family, friends, and prospective clients alike. If you're reading this, do yourself a favor and hire Pamela—you won't regret it. We love you, Pamela! :)

of her way to make sure my husband and I were comfortable throughout our day and consistently ensured that we felt confident and at ease. I could not have asked for a better person to be standing by my side to hype me up. She is someone that I will continue to keep in contact with because of just how awesome she is! If she is available for your wedding date, I cannot recommend her enough. The photos she took for our wedding are on my Instagram @taylor.voyen if you would like to see her outstanding work.

d when it came to the actual timeline of the day. On the wedding day itself, I was so nervous. But when I met Pam and her team for the first time, my anxiety melted away because of just how she is as a person. She is incredibly sweet, knows exactly what to do, and she is FUN. Pam made the whole experience a joyous one, and the whole wedding party loved her! It truly takes a special person to wrangle friends and family for wedding photos, because the day is definitely chaotic. But Pam was professional, incredibly patient, and just overall such a kind person. You could feel her energy and how genuine it is, and you can’t help but reciprocate and feel at ease. Now on to the quality of the photos: WOW. They are beautiful! Pam must be a wizard, because she made even my bad angles look good! I’ve been obnoxiously obsessing over my wedding photos ever since she’s sent them (and I received them so quickly). I will cherish these photos forever. Pam is spectacular, and her work is beyond anything I could’ve hoped for. My husband and I are so happy to have shared our special day with her.

nt that you've selected an exceptional photographer for your event. Seriously! Not one, not two, but we heard it from at least ten guests. Like many of you reading this, we were initially overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tasks involved in planning our wedding. Browsing Pamela's website offered us a delightful glimpse into her style and approach. Right after our first meeting with Pamela, it was clear that we wanted her to capture our wedding day. She took great care to understand our vision (to be honest, we were a bit uncertain about what we wanted, only knowing that we wanted natural, free-flowing photos and videos) and she guided us in shaping the wedding of our dreams every step of the way. Communication with Pamela was excellent, and here's why: she assisted us in crafting our initial vision early on, which included both photography and documentary-style videography. As our plans progressed, she maintained efficient check-ins, gathering necessary information and increasing the frequency of communication as our wedding day approached, ensuring that she got to know us personally. On the day of our wedding, it felt as though a dear friend was leading the photography and videography (aside from your partner, your wedding photographer and their team are the individuals you'll spend most of your wedding day with, so their energy is crucial). Pamela and her team did an exceptional job capturing every detail of our wedding day in the most beautiful way possible. When we got our photos and videos, we were able to relive each moment and cherish them forever. Our wedding was a fusion of Persian and American styles, and we're immensely grateful for Pamela's dedication, care, and energy in capturing beautiful moments and scenes in our videos, considering that most conversations and music were in Farsi. Thank you, Pamela, for immortalizing our love story and for simply being the incredible person that you are.

zing, she is the kindest person I have ever met. It was a hot day and I am awful at remembering to drink water and she went out of her way to make sure I was taking time to drink water on top of all of the other things she was doing. She also handled everything flawlessly without needing any assistance from me! Wedding day can sometimes be stressful when vendors are pulling at you but she coordinated things without ever needing me perfectly! I truly believe that my wedding day would not have run as smoothly as it did if I didn’t have her. I also usually feel so awkward being photographed, but she made me feel so comfortable. She also really knows how to make you feel special on your day by hyping you up and always having a smile on her face! Whenever I needed her she was there, it was amazing. She was easily my favorite vendor and I am forever grateful to her for making my day so very special. Even my wedding guests and family were bragging about how kind and amazing she was. She also sent so many sneak peaks sooo soon after the wedding and they were all even more amazing than I could’ve imagined!

nd self conscious in front of the camera, Pam put me at ease. Pam has a calming presence and she is a very talented photographer. She's everything you want in a wedding photographer!

e they will spend many hours with you on your wedding day. Pamela was such a joy and delightful to spend the day with. She and her team were so sweet and made the sessions fun and comfortable. Multiple guests even commented on how much they liked Pamela and her team. An engagement session was included in the package which made us feel more prepared and was a great opportunity to get to know each other. She is very organized and that was reassuring during the planning process. Pamela worked with me on my long photo request list and managed to fit all of them into the schedule. We are very grateful for the memories that Pamela captured. She provided so many wonderful photos and the highlight film was absolutely amazing!

lly stressful and hectic, but it was such a pleasure collaborating and working with Pamela. She put our minds at ease and it felt like we were hanging out with a good friend during the whole process. Our friends and family were also blown away by the quality of Pamela's work. We can't thank Pamela and her teammate Nico enough for capturing all the moments of our big day. We highly recommend Pamela's photography services whenever you want to capture a special moment in your life!

get-go. The engagement photoshoot she included in our package was the perfect way to get to know her and ease into being professionally photographed too. During our planning process, we changed our minds several times about different aspects of the package we had booked -- she answered all of our questions with patience and kindness, and was super flexible with us. The day of the wedding, having Pamela and her team's energy around was so calming, but they also knew when to hype us up when we needed. My whole family was complimenting them on how professional - yet kind - they were! Most importantly, the photos turned out AMAZING with a really fast turnaround for sneak peeks -- the vibe and tone were exactly what we wanted, and I'm so grateful to Pamela for capturing our special day.

al eye and makes every image look lively and beautiful. Second... she's a fun and calming presence to have on your wedding day. She's always helpful, up-beat and focused on making every moment as wonderful as it can be. As a professional wedding officiant, I'm always excited to work with Pamela because I know the day will run smoothly, we'll have fun, and we'll all end up with memorable photos of the experience we shared. She's one of the best - hire her!

ing day! The team she put together was absolute magic and you can be 100% certain you are getting the best of the best. I will forever be grateful to Pam for going on this journey with us and I know she will be our photographer for many many years and life events to come! If she happens to be available, thank your lucky stars and BOOK HER!

rsonable vendor at our wedding. She made us feel comfortable taking photos and gave us tips and tricks before the day of to make the wedding run smoothly. The engagement session really helped us get comfortable with being photographed. Pamela's photography style is exactly what we were looking for, candid and posed but really followed our lead with the style of planned photos so they didn't look too cheesy like you see on Pinterest. She made extra small details for us the day of and gave us tons of sneak peaks for our photos. I truly could not be happier to have had her be part of our wedding and look forward to nerding out with her in the future. If you're a nerd, she's your girl!

isite. She covered my wedding ceremony, and reception in Carmel California, and my husband and I were extremely satisfied, and happy. Ahead of Pamela's beautiful work, she's also a beautiful human being. Very professional, and humble. Please, please, please hire Pamela as your photographer. You will not be disappointed!

(as we included our not very cooperative dog in the photos). I am a photographer myself so I am always so picky with who I choose to take photos for me and Pam surpassed all of our expectations. She delivered the photos so quick and gave us a gallery with so many photos to choose from. I highly recommend Pam not just for your wedding photos, but for any occasion! She is talented on so many different levels!!

tuation this past year, we were forced to change our wedding plans multiple times and eventually realized we couldn't put on the wedding of our dreams with out of town family members and a large celebration. We instead opted for something small and quick, more of an elopement than a wedding. And prepared ourselves for the inevitable let-down and disappointment of the once-in-a-lifetime event being unable to meet our expectations. And that's when Pamela came to the rescue. She met with us to discuss our thoughts and had plenty of great ideas of her own. But she never once tried to force hers upon us. Instead she continually provided ideas that would expand on ours and make them better. She worked fast and knows her way around the camera. She has an eye for details that we would've never noticed. And stayed spontaneous and "in the moment" when new unexpected opportunities arose. But most importantly, she was "fun." She has a natural gift for making a stressful and emotional day very relaxed and enjoyable. And that truly brought out the best is us! Finally, as for the actual photos themselves? OMG! I can't tell you how pleased we were with the insane number for fantastic shots! Each one better than the last! She really is an absolute gem! And we consider ourselves so lucky and blessed to have found her!

Pamela! I highly recommend her ❤️

andomly booked her but she assured me that everything will be okay and yes!!! The pictures turned out very nice and the stories behind them are priceless. I would love to work with her again in the future! :)
