Tanya is simply the best - like the song.
But in all seriousness, she overdelivers. Her communication is incredible, her energy as a human being puts anybody (even the most photo-conscious people) immediately at ease. Her eye as a photogra...
pher is, well, I mean, if a picture is worth a thousand words, those images speak for themselves. She's truly an artist with tremendous range as a photographer.
Honestly we felt like we were getting a heck of a deal. She is beyond fairly priced - very much to the customer's advantage - for her services.
I think the most important thing however is the fact that she is a genuinely good person. Every choice she makes - even who she hires as her second shooter - is deliberately thought out. And all the people she brings on are top notch and just a pure delight to be around. You will feel like you're in incredible hands with her, and very cared for. She puts her client's needs first and is the epitome of professionalism. A dream to work with.
I can't recommend her enough. Hire her. You'll be glad you did.

Photographing your wedding was one of the biggest highlights of 2021! I'm so grateful to have met such an amazing couple and have had the honor of documenting your special day for you and your family. I won't soon forget those beautiful vows yo...
u made to each other- not a dry eye in the crowd. Love you both and excited for your future together.
Tanya is THE BEST. I mean the best. She captures the magic in every moment. We were absolutely honored to have her do our wedding. From our first Zoom meeting with Tanya, I knew we needed to do everything in our power to have her! She knew exac...
tly what we wanted and went above and beyond. For this level of talent, she does not charge enough. My mother in law calls her "the ninja"; she was everywhere, but was never in the way. Our pictures turned out absolutely perfect. Her direction and vision are incredible. She made it so easy on us and our families. If you want a photographer who goes above and beyond, has your back, and genuinely is gifted in what they do, HIRE TANYA!! We will forever tell everyone we know about Parada Studios!!!!

Thank you Gianna for letting me be part of your wedding! Your family and friends were so incredibly sweet to me and my team and the energy that day was contagious- you and Noah and truly loved! Thank you for such kind words and I cannot wait to...
reconnect with you both again soon :)
Tanya was so fun and down-to-earth while photographing my friend's wedding. I've been a bridesmaid quite a few times, and I always notice how the photographer treats the bridal party. She felt like she was part of the group and was interested i...

ny. She created a magical engagement shoot. We had the best experience. Our photos are everything we could have asked for and more. đź’—
Tanya is hands down the best photographer. She immediately made us comfortable and walked us through how to pose before diving into our photo session. Tanya made sure to deliver on our vision and took into account the inspiration for the shoot....
She was knowledgeable about the location we shot in and was super fun to work with!
Her turnaround time was quick and I was blown away by her work. The pictures she provided are some of my absolute favorite! If you're going back and forth, just book with Tanya anyways b/c she's amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 09/08/2021
Thank you Zenobia! What a joy you and Kais were to photograph! Thank you being so awesome and adventurous on our session :) Big congrats again on your engagement and upcoming wedding!
Tanya did a phenomenal job! From the moment she arrived at our venue she let us feel natural and came up with some phenomenal shots. We had to move our wedding up 1 week at the last second due to the pandemic and changing stay at home orders an...
d she made her schedule fit to match ours, on very little notice. You could tell how much she enjoys her craft and really makes it an art form. I wouldn’t want anyone else taking wedding pictures for us or anyone else I know.
Response from the Vendor on 03/23/2021
Thank you so much Collin for such kind words! It was such an honor to be part of your special day and see the length you and your families went to to make it happen in such short notice. You two are a very loved couple!
Tanya is the absolute BEST! She made all our engagement shoot dreams come true đź’• so easy to work with, taught us all the right angles, and all around a gem of a human. Our pictures turned out better than I ever could have imagined. Thanks a mi...

he was very open to our culture and quickly learned and understood the moments that were important to us and our family. Her action shots and sharpness in her photos are unmatchable! She has such a sweet and genuine personality and is extremely patient. We highly recommend Tanya and look forward to working with her again in the future.
Parada did an amazing job with our engagement session and with our wedding photos . Not only did they make us feel super comfortable, our families and friends also felt super comfortable with them. Everyone was asking us for there information a...
fter the wedding! They are very fun and professional. The work they do is great. Our pictures are better than expected and they managed to capture every moment . I would recommend them to anyone.
From positivity, funny, good vibes, great team work to punctual, great price, complete package, working with Parada Studio family was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience. We love and appreciate you guys so much!!! Thanks!!
How do I even begin to express how awesome Tanya and Maurice are?! They captured my surprise proposal at Griffith Observatory and did an incredible job. I'm a professional wedding photographer myself so choosing the right photographer was a big...
decision for me. I live in Pennsylvania and was planning everything from the other side of the US which was difficult at times. Tanya went to Griffith and scouted a bunch of different locations for the proposal and photos afterward which was beyond helpful. Tanya captured every moment of the proposal perfectly. We spent a couple of hours together through sunset and into the night doing some portraits which turned out phenomenal and perfectly captured the surroundings of Griffith. We even hiked up a massive hill in the dark to get an epic night shot with the stars that overlooked Los Angeles.
If you're on the fence about booking Parada Studio, this is the review that should put you on notice! Just do it! You won't regret it and you'll have beautiful memories for a lifetime!
Tanya from Parada Studios was so wonderful to work with. Not only is she exceptionally talented at her craft but she is so easy to work with. Her photography is incredible – she has a keen eye for capturing moments and bringing everything toge...
ther (lighting, background, and us). We had so much fun on our engagement shoot with her. I am extremely uncomfortable in front of the camera, but she put us at ease immediately. Our photographs turned out beautifully and reflected our natural selves! We looked like we were having a genuinely good time – and we were! Moreover, Tanya is very responsive, punctual, flexible and extremely professional. We had a limited time to shoot because of our travel schedule (we were in LA for only a short time) and Tanya worked swiftly and efficiently yet captured all the moments that you would want to have. We had a variety of shots and styles (from the dramatic, to the whimsical, to the romantic, etc. - we even had some fun, goofy shots which we loved!) We would have loved to have her as a wedding photographer as well but she did not have availability that day. Words cannot express how appreciative we are for her beautiful work! We can’t be happier with how our photographs turned out.
Amazing photos , and amazing photographers! Our shoot was so much fun. They make you feel so comfortable, they have very creative ideas , and they will do ANYTHING to get the perfect shot ! We had our engagement session in Malibu and it was be...
low 60 degrees and they got wet with us just to capture amazing photos! If you’re looking to have a fun time , amazing photos, and photographers who get up in there with you to get the best shots , you need Parada !
Parada studio went above and beyond to achieve the shoot I envisioned for our engagement photos. Tanya and Maurice arrived prior to our shoot to seek out the best stops for our photos. They both made my fiancé and I extremely comfortable in fro...
nt of the camera, which made the shoot stress free and enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience both during and after the shoot. The photos came out absolutely beautiful, and I recieved the photos quicker than I had anticipated. We are very grateful to Prada Studio for capturing this special moment in our engagement. Thanks again Prada Studio for your professionalism, unique artistic perspective, and a pleasurable experience.
I highly recommend Parada to anyone who wants professional, exquisite and breathtaking wedding photography.
We are absolutely thrilled with the photographs from Tanya and Parada Studio. They are friendly and professional and produce outstandin...
g work. Tanya and Maurice did such a wonderful job and we are so grateful they were able to be part of our wedding on such short notice.
The pictures of my wife getting ready look like stills from a movie. Dramatic yet candid and simply beautiful. The pictures of the wedding are unbelievable. They look like they could hang in a gallery.
I have a knack for always looking super dorky in pictures, but Tanya had me looking like a GQ model! Seriously, I've never looked this good.
Tanya and Maurice were so friendly to everyone. They really felt like old friends and fit right in with the wedding guests. After the wedding, they kept in touch with frequent updates and sent us some amazing preview pictures.
We received the pictures a few weeks later and relived all of the wonderful memories. She caught so many wonderful moments. Each photograph is a work of art.
Parada is the best! Book them!
Tanya was as top notch as they come. Not only an amazing artist with an impeccable eye to capture special moments, but also doing so in a relaxed and fun fashion. She made the experience a truly enjoyable one that took any uneasiness out of the...
equation. She was detailed in her plan but flexible to make for an individualized experience. Would highly recommend her to any and all friends.

Wow! Thanks Caleb!! I'm so grateful we got to meet you guys...you two are such an amazing couple and I can't even call working with you guys "work" because we had so much fun! It was definitely great to see how much you care and love each other...
, reminding us why we love our job so much! Happy to have you both as new friends ;) Looking forward to hanging out soon! -Tanya
Never in my life have I had so much fun and felt so comfortable getting my picture taken! And the pictures reflected that too. It was actually a really special day for my fiancé and I. He’s more of a “dude” and not used to getting photographed ...
but throughout the day, Tanya and Maurice helped us not only pose but to see the vision behind it. Each picture didn’t look staged because each moment was actually raw and genuine. We were able to interact and be ourselves and everything felt natural. Tanya was very timely with editing and getting back to me. The pictures took our breath away, not your usual stock photo poses yet still romantic and classy. Highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 04/03/2019

fident. They totally welcomed our ideas and props we brought and was so cool about working them into our session. We received sneak peeks soon after and received our photos back quickly as well! She above and beyond to give us photos that will forever be some of the most important photos we will have. This review is (almost!) two years later and even now, Tanya has been so helpful and easy to communicate with for any question we’ve had thus far. We can’t recommend Parada Photography enough to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion! Can’t wait to work with them again. Thank you Parada!

Tanya Parada is such an exquisite person as it is, her personality reflects inside out. But her behind the lense and as business women she knows exactly what she is doing. Not only considering the clients, she visions things and is not afraid t...
o go far and beyond for the clients. My couple and I enjoyed the little adventure we had with her from going out to Death Valley, sure it was a drive but worth for. The whole car ride was like if we were long time friends already, directing us what poses to do, feeling comfortable with her, knowing our best angles and every time she takes a shot showing us, we couldn’t get enough! Well punctual with different sceneries, lighting & above really passionate with her work. Loved working with Parada Studio & beats the fact of not having a wedding, these pictures bring so much more happiness that will last forever, highly recommend.

d I wanted to do,times, places & even help me organize my wedding day which I am very grateful for! Tanya & Maurice definitely looked for those special moments that made this event extra special for us, they were very detailed, while shooting we felt very comfortably with them and shared many laughs. The photographs from your wedding are really the biggest and only memory you can be able to re live that day with, so when I grab my album & flip through the pages....I know it was the best choice we could have ever made!! Thank you so much! đź’•

I hired Parada Studio for a "Trash the Dress" session. Honestly, I think every bride needs to have one. Post-Wedding Blues are real.
The "Trash the Dress" photos Tanya captured were so meaningful to me, more than my own wedding photos. It's ju...
st you and your husband. No distractions.
My husband does not like to be photographed at all. But Tanya had such an easy-going personality, she made him feel at ease and we were both able to relax and enjoy creating a memory together.
Tanya took us to a cliff over-looking the ocean, and then we went down onto the beach and walked into the ocean together. I wanted gorgeous, dramatic photos and Tanya really delivered. Our photos are beautiful, I love getting so many compliments on them.

cenotes for your after wedding session. I’ve had so many compliments about what a beautiful couple you two are! Thank you for all your hospitality!
We were lucky enough to enjoy Parada’s skills and talents for our engagement photo shoot. They were fun, made us feel completely relaxed. PDR is not quite our thing, and they made it feel like 2nd nature! Both photographers are an absolute joy ...
to spend the day with. They have an amazing talent for catching (and creating) fantastic lighting and have techniques you won’t find other average wedding photographers using. If you want truly unique magazine cover worthy photos your friends will drool over, they are your guys! They catch both comfortably stylish and tastefully staged/posed photos, along with those special intimate in action moments that you thought you’d only have yourself to remember. Our only regret....we waited too long to book them for our wedding and by the time we were ready to do so, they were already booked for our date! So if you aren’t sure who to go with for your photographer....DO NOT MISS your opportunity to have the BEST and book them immediately! Don’t 2nd guess it....DO IT!!!! You won’t regret it! We still follow their work on social media even now a couple years later, and their skill has only continued to grow and blossom (surprisingly because they were already AMAZING!!!) we can’t wait to find any excuse to book them again!
