We are absolutely honored to have Tara photograph our wedding. She’s my closest friend and played a huge part in our day. She helped me plan, officiated our ceremony and photographed with a second shooter. She made the day SO special and thought of all the details that made everything perfect. Wrangled my family in for pictures swiftly, group photos were quick and organized. I’m quite camera shy, but Tara has always made me feel really comfortable. Her candid shots are always my favorite, they help me relive it all over again. The second shooter Ray, was the best choice. His smile was infectious, and the shots he took were beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with the job Tara did with our wedding photos, or more proud of extremely talented friend.
We hired Tara to photograph our wedding and are so glad we did! She helped us feel comfortable, made sure details we wanted were included, and coordinated with other vendors to make sure the night went smoothly. We would recommend Tara to anyone looking for a photographer!
Tara was an absolute professional and she truly captured everything that was special about our wedding. As the MOB, the day was a total blur for me. She captured every detail and meaningful moment for which I am truly grateful.
From the first time we met her, to finishing up wedding album design, Tara has been fantastic to work with. Neither of us see ourselves as photogenic people, but Tara had great tips to bring out the best in each of us. She is both relaxed and professional at the same time, which makes communication very easy. Thanks to her great work with the photography, we will be able to reminisce our wedding day with our beautiful photos, for years to come.
We had the pleasure of working with Tara for a mutual client recently, and it was a great experience! Tara was responsive, personable, and professional throughout. She thoughtfully shared preview and completed photo albums with us right away, and her work is beautiful!
Thanks Tara for capturing the spirit of the day (and our venue!) so perfectly! We hope to work with you again soon!
Tara is amazing! We met with her to go over our vision for our wedding and she captured our day perfectly! I was impressed with how quickly we received our sneak peek photos from our wedding. I highly recommend Tara to anyone that is looking for a friendly, personable, down-to-earth photographer.
Tara was amazing! She was great to work with, communicated well with us before, during and after the wedding! All the pictures came out beautiful and she was very quick with getting us our photos!
If we could award Tara bonus stars, we would! She was - hands down - the most perfect and most integral component of our wedding team. Not only is she an efficient, clear, and responsive communicator - she is a kind, effervescent, caring and gracious person in all aspects. We planned a very small and intimate ceremony, which Tara not only complimented and captured beautifully -- but she also helped craft with indispensable suggestions and tips that she offered during our preparatory run-through of the space. Tara fit seamlessly into our little party of friends and family and I am forever grateful to her for embracing our chaos and catching every moment of spontaneity and joy. Every single person we've shared her photos with has commented on what an incredible job she did. She was incredibly flexible as our plans and timeline evolved due to the weather, and she continually checked in with us to make sure she was capturing all the photos we had dreamt of and more. We couldn't recommend her more highly!
Tara did an amazing job capturing our wedding! She is very organized and detail oriented which made the planning process less stressful. Tara is great to get along with and was a perfect match for our country wedding, she brought out amazing details in our portraits that captured the scenery around us that made our day special. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a down to earth photographer to capture their special moments. I can gladly say a friendship has formed over the time Tara has worked with us for our wedding!

Tara, where do we even start? From the moment we reached out for our engagement photos, you were 110% invested. Professional, fun, kind, talented, and a friend above all. When it came time for our wedding vendors to be hired, there was no one we’d rather work with. You made our process and day of so smooth, worked beautifully with our guests and other vendors, and our photos are just top notch, to die for! You captured the day so beautifully, effortlessly, and we’re so blessed you’ve entered our lives as a vendor and friend. We look forward to *hopeful* newborn photos with you, and a lifetime of memories made!
Tara is sweet, thoughtful, easy going and kind. The list can go on she made my wedding day perfect. Her pictures are incredible and captured exactly what I was looking for.
Definitely 5 Stars! I hired Tara to come shoot some behind the scenes pictures & final detailed shots of a wedding I designed and styled, and boy did Tara deliver!! Tara was on time, professional, personable, and made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera! She delivered my gallery with a quick turn around time, and the photos are exactly what I envisioned! I cannot wait to work with Tara again!!!!
I can't speak highly enough about Tara! I knew she was the one I wanted to photograph from the moment I saw the photos on her beautiful website. From our first email, she was thorough and knowledgeable and answered any and all silly questions I had. My husband and I had so much fun getting to know her even better during our first consult, where she really took us through the entire day and made sure she had a list of every formal photo we wanted to take and got a feel for our special day. And on the day of, she was professional and fun and helped all the guests have fun and relax. She gave clear direction and she guides you through the formal photoshoots quickly and easily. She knows exactly how to stay on schedule, and she worked beautifully with our videographer, whom she had never met before! And during the reception, she blended into the background and took some amazing candids. And if you are planning on doing a sparkler send off, DO IT! She took amazing photos with the sparklers. Everyone told me how much they loved her and how much fun she was. She knew exactly when and where to take photos. We got our sneak peaks back the next day and we couldn't believe how stunning they are! We are so excited to get the rest of our photos. Book with Tara!!!
Tara did such an amazing job on our engagement photos! We're thrilled with how they came out and are so excited to share them with our friends and family. The fact that our photos, both posed and candid, came out looking so natural is a testament to how great Tara is to work with and how comfortable she made us feel throughout the process. She was extremely helpful and responsive leading up to our photo shoot as well and provided a detailed list of potential locations for our session. We even received the edited photos several weeks earlier than expected. Overall, we absolutely loved working with Tara and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
We could not have found a better wedding photographer than Tara! From the moment we met her, we knew that she was going to take the most memorable photos. She was very attentive and had a keen eye for details. She was flexible and willing to drive from both our homes to the venue so she can capture all our intimate moments. Since we decided on a small wedding, we knew we wanted someone to be just as adjustable as we were. To live in the moment and go with the flow. We had many ideas of the exact ceremony spot and Tara was able to help with finding an incredible spot underneath a tree. She knew that this spot would be the most private and can create the best photos. We cannot thank Tara enough for the photos we received and the memories we created together.
Tara is an amazing wedding photographer. You can probably already see her amazing work on her instagram page. But what really stood out about Tara was he dedication and commitment to our event. She went above and beyond to not just take amazing photos but to help out with anything that was needed. During the event she took it upon herself to reach out to individual guests and groups and schedule them for hassle free pictures with the wedded couple. Things can get hectic at weddings, with too many guests and stuff happening all around. But Tara was there coordinating everything with with the bride and groom for a smooth event. We didn't have a wedding planner, and Tara in a sense played the job of a wedding planner, in addition to taking amazing pictures of the event.
When we hired Tara as our wedding photographer, we knew that we were hiring someone with the photography acumen and wedding expertise to truly capture the best moments of our special day. What we didn’t expect was for Tara to be so down to Earth and to help us envision, plan, and realize some of the most important aspects of that day. From our first phone call to our in-person meeting, and finally on our big day, Tara was there to support and guide us throughout this crazy process. For this, we are truly grateful!
Oh, and those photos she took, Truly Amazing! My Wife and I didn’t realize that Tara was also a ninja! She managed to stay in the shadows—moving from one place to another swiftly and out of sight—to capture some of the most amazing angles of key moments. The photos she took were high resolution, easy to access online, and were mailed to us in an easy-to-use thumb drive. We are in the process of selecting the best ones and are 100% going to order a photo album!
There is simply not enough my Wife, and I can say to praise how truly amazing Tara was on our wedding day and throughout the process. You should 100% consider hiring Tara as your wedding photographer! You will not be disappointed!
Tara was the perfect photographer for our special day! She was professional , punctual and always in the right place at the right time. Our forest wedding was captured in such a magical way we are in awe of how wonderful really was. She was open to suggestions and had many great ideas for us as well! Hire Tara!!!!
Tara was a fantastic fit right from the start. After phone calls, virtual meetings and a planned in person meeting she was very invested in learning more about us and the details behind our wedding. On the day of the wedding she made us feel very comfortable throughout. She captured all the important moments of our small intimate event. We were surprised to see many sneak peak photos that same evening! Overall, I would highly recommend Tara to anyone who is looking for a quality photographer at a very reasonable price.
Tara is amazing!! Not only is she professional, responsive and a great photographer, she’s super sweet! She made us feel very comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. We have only received our “sneak peak” and the photos are stunning! Can’t wait to see the rest! Thanks for capturing all our special moments!
Tara was the photographer for our wedding in Oct '17. I have never been happier with photos and never felt and looked prettier in said photos. She captured a lot of sweet moments that I am very happy to have on film and look back on. The whole experience was so comfortable and went off without a hitch.
Tara photographed our wedding in 2016 and she did an amazing job! I highly recommend her! We could not be anymore happier with how the photos came out!
I was so thrilled with the work Tara did! She used the venue to the fullest (Angry Orchard) and I am so in love with the photos. She got shots that I never knew I needed. And I can’t wait to do our next shoot with her!
Tara took the most amazing photos at our best friends wedding. She captured the moments and kept the vibe to be about them - not just your typical wedding photographer.
Tara was the right choice for our special day. She helped my wife and I feel at ease and the photos were amazing! Highly recommend this professional photographer to all!
