About this vendor
Aloha! Thank you for considering me for your big day. I am passionate about photography plain and simple. I love telling your love story visually and artistically. Everyone has a unique story and I like getting to know what you want for wedding day so I can be sure to capture exactly what you are looking for. I’m happy to set up a call to discuss what you would like or create a custom shoot. Our time together is fun, playful, and I encourage you to interact with one another for those flirty and romantic looks. I will help guide you for natural and genuine interactions, so you have great memories as well as amazing photos. I have an eye for capturing those candid moments, they are some of my favorite. I primarily use natural light and would say my style is a mixture of old world meets now- a mixture of old fashion film with a modern take. I look
forward to hearing from you!

Tara captured our wedding in April 2024 at Olowalu Plantation House in Maui, HI. She and her team were absolute professionals and we cannot recommend them enough.
My wife and I a...
re a bit shy of a couple though Tara made us feel comfortable and made the pictures reflect that. The pictures came out amazing and we couldn't have been happier with them!
We cannot recommend Tara Lee Photography enough and go out of our way/will continue to go out of our way to recommend Tara and her team.
We absolutely LOVED having our engagement pictures taken by Tara! It was a SUPER easy experience, from the coordinating, meeting, & receiving photos. We are SO happy to have such A...
MAZING photos from our time in Maui. You won't regret going with Tara Lee Photography! :)
My husband and I got married in Maui in October 2022, and Tara was an exceptional part of our day. While looking for photographers during the planning process, I knew right away th...
at I found her work absolutely beautiful. On our wedding day, Tara was so professional, patient, and kind. I really appreciated how calmly she organized and arranged our family and friends in photos--she truly has an eye for detail. We received access to our online photo gallery in a very short amount of time after the wedding. I love how she photographed our candid moments, and she made me feel so comfortable behind the camera. Thank you so much, Tara, for capturing the joys of our special day. We will cherish our photos forever! :)
Highly highly recommend Tara Lee Photography for your wedding day! Tara was recommended to us by our wedding planner - Kara at the Aloha Wedding Company. And WOW, we’re absolutely ...
thrilled with our decision. Tara was professional and direct yet approachable, warm and easy going. We appreciated her direction throughout our wedding day and because of this, we have a wonderful and robust library of photos. She also captured many organic moments so we have a balance of natural and posed shots. So grateful that we chose Tara for our wedding day, and we’ll treasure these photos for years to come.
My husband and I got married in Maui in February. Picking out a photographer was one of the most important things for me as a bride. While looking at all the options I couldn't hel...
p but to love Taras style and was happy to find out she was available for our date. I've never had any sort of professional photos done before and wasn't sure how the process will go, especially during a wedding. On top of that my husband does not like taking picture at all! I couldn't be happier that I chose Tara for our special day. She was amazing! Very friendly and comfortable to work with, she went beyond my exceptions and our photos came out so beautiful. She captured all the special moments and just did an awesome job overall. Highly recommend Tara!
Tara was great! She had a lot of experience (even with our specific venue) and made us feel comfortable. We love how are pictures came out and she got them to us within the time f...

Tara is SO AMAZING!!! We chose her as our photographer for our October 2022 wedding and could not have been happier with our choice! We had a zoom call with her beforehand to discu...
ss our day, the family dynamics, and what we were looking for in our photos and I think that just truly shows how thorough she is. I felt so confident in our choice after her explanations of what to expect and how to prepare for the day. The day of our wedding, she guided us quickly and effortlessly (especially with the bridal party and our large family) and was just so efficient. She directed us in the ways she knew would get the best photos and made us feel SUPER comfortable with everything. From someone who often feels awkward during photo shoots, this was so appreciated! When we received our photos back we were STUNNED looking through the gallery - it was so special, and it was like living the day all over again. She put together our story so beautifully. Even our guests keep telling us how amazing Tara & Tara were the entire night and their feedback on the photos has been spectacular across the board. The poses, the colors, the scenery and everything that was captured during our day - just stunning. We are definitely ordering an album!! If you’re thinking of hiring Tara - DO IT!! You will NOT regret it. Thank you so much Tara!!
My fiancé and I had the pleasure to work with Tara when we celebrated our intimate "Last Anniversary Engaged" at the Haiku Mill before the big "I Dos" with all of our loved ones.

Tara is very sweet and fun! She'll also work with your ideas and also help with capturing all the genuine moments. She's great too at getting back to you quickly and will work with you on prints and albums. Thanks again Tara for everything!

I chose Tara Lee Photography for my wedding, and she was amazing. First impression, she met my husband and I at our venue when we did a walk through, and I loved that she took the ...
time to do so instead of emails back and forth. (We had a destination wedding) From day one she was super attentive and was quick to respond to emails. She also sent out a long questionnaire before our wedding to get an idea of what exactly we wanted for the day and boy did she deliver. She also worked with another photographer to tag team and she was also great, wondering personalities and really helped capture the memories of our special day. We also loved that the day after the wedding she sent us some sneak peek photos to hold us over till we got the remaining photos.10 out of 10 recommend.

ly be introduced and get an idea of what we wanted. Even with a last minute switch up of how our wedding was set up, Tara was able to capture the moments and help us create incredible memories. Thanks again Tara for all of your work! You are awesome!

not only the photography work but helped us plan the whole experience. The photos are absolutley breathtaking, couldnt have asked for anything more!!!
I cannot recommend Tara Lee Photography enough! Planning a destination wedding from afar, and doing all the planning and decision making based on emails, and portfolio reviews can ...
be nerve-wracking, but this was the absolute best decision for a wedding photographer! I knew immediately when I looked through Tara's portfolios that her style was the perfect match for our "vibe" for our dream wedding/photos and we were not disappointed one bit! All correspondence before the big day was professional and timely. The day of the wedding, Tara and her team immediately made us feel comfortable and relaxed and like we had known them forever, when we had really just met! We received a sneak peek the day after our wedding, and our full gallery within the promised timeframe. Once we received our photos, we have not stopped scrolling through them!! They are absolutely amazing, all our family and friends agree as well! It is such a wonderful gift to be able to have these photos that perfectly captured our amazing day! We hope to go back to Maui and get family pictures done by Tara in the future! If you are looking for a wedding photographer on Maui, please look no further--Tara Lee Photography is the best!!
Tara was a joy to work with and we LOVE the photos that she took of us. We were able to visit 3 locations that were so beautiful, and you could really see her creativity in action ...
during the sunset. We don't take photos with a professional often, and she made the experience very fun, relaxing, and enjoyable. We received the photos a few weeks after we got home. We will cherish these engagement photos for many years to come. Highly recommend Tara Lee Photography!
Great experience all around. Tara made things so simple and all of the pictures turned out perfect! I would highly recommend her to anyone!
I cannot write a review that does Tara and her associates any justice. My husband and I live in California and had to make all of our decisions based on phone calls and reviewing p...
ortfolios. It was so nerve wracking to make a huge decision, like your WEDDING PHOTOS, without actually meeting the photographers. When we first saw Tara’s portfolio, we knew her style was just for us. After meeting her at our wedding we were thrilled with her as a person and a photographer. We aren’t the most comfortable behind a camera and her and her partner made us feel so great!
We just received our photos this week and we have been scrolling through them multiple times. I don’t think there is a bad photo in all 700 photos she gave us! The way they captured the day as a story and sent it to us so we could relive the day was brilliant! 100000% would recommend and would hire her again. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Tara. Every photo I wanted and asked for, she made happen. Thank you so much Tara. If you’re getting married in Hawaii PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE book Tara Lee Photography.

g! Tara Lee and Amber were both so kind and made the process seamless and easy!! Her photos are timeless and something we will cherish FOREVER!! I would highly recommend Tara Lee!! She is AMAZING!!!
Finding the right photographer for our big day was the most important part of planning for us. We had spent countless hours messaging back and forth with numerous businesses and f...
inally felt most confident when we spoke with Tara and looked through her portfolio. From the moment we booked with her, she guided us through the rest of the steps and processes. She gave us suggestions on floral, hair, an officiant, locations, etc. The day of our wedding was flawless and went just as described as the timeline she put together for us prior to. As for the actual photos; they are perfect. She captured every single moment that she possibly could have and they turned out better than we could have imagined. Maui and especially Ironwoods Beach hold one of our best & meaningful memories in life and Tara helped us every step of the way and caught every single moment perfectly.
Tara and Shayla, were incredible to work with - very quick to respond, insightful, and personable! The photos were tastefully edited, without being overdone, and came out beautiful...
. I would highly recommend Tara Lee Photography!
Tara did a beautiful job with our wedding. She captured photos that surpassed my expectation. I couldn't believe the beauty when we received them. From start to finish she was so e...
asy to work with. There was only 1 photo missing from my shoot and its a photo of me, my husband with my family, the bride. We got one including my grandparents with my parents and siblings so its not the end of the world by any means. I also have some with my parents and some with my siblings separate. There just isn't one of us and my parents and siblings (my immediate family). We got one with his side, but missed mine by accident. There were sooo many photos so not the end of the world by any means. That would not stop me from recommending her to anyone. She is amazing and her assistant was just as amazing. Our photos are perfect and she captured all the perfect moments.
She was extremely quick. She sent us 5 sneak peek photos the next morning and had the rest in our hands about 6 weeks later which was impressively fast. I would recommend her to everyone! She is fabulous :)

lad we had her! Tara was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! We have a really big family and she was just so patient when taking the group photos. She made sure to capture all the special moments on our big day; the first look, my husband with his grandparents, our walk down the aisle etc. And the sunset photos are absolutely gorgeous! The pictures came out so good! Everyone looked beautiful in them. Tara did such a wonderful job in capturing just how beautiful our wedding day was. As the bride, a lot is going on so sometimes you get distracted and aren’t able to take some time to just admire the details of your own wedding. Details are so so important to me and being able to look back at my pictures and see what the sky/ocean looked like, the colors of my bouquet, the room I got ready in, how the guest check in table was set up etc just makes me so happy!! I honestly can’t stop looking at our photos. Our family and bridal party are also in love with them! Tara is so sweet and such a talented photographer! You’ll absolutely love her work! Thank you Tara for everything!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The photoshoot with Tara was easy, fun, relaxed and SO PROFESSIONAL. It’s not easy with a toddler but she worked with the elements and the pics turned out more than AMAZ...
ING! The photos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL but more than that they are extremely special because it was just days before our family became 4!! Seeing these photos for the first time brought tears to my eyes especially after bringing home our second baby, these moments that were captured by Tara brought so much JOY and emotion for me and my family. I can’t thank her enough for her beautiful work. You will definitely be in great hands to work with her.
She made us feel so comfortable, and the photos she took were amazingly beautiful!

m Colorado. Our wedding planner suggested Tara and as soon as we saw her work, we fell in love. On the wedding day, Tara and her assistant were so friendly and sweet, we all felt super comfortable around them. Throughout the wedding day, they knew exactly what photos to take and where to take them which was nice because we could really enjoy our day without feeling like we were taking pictures for hours straight. When we received our photos, we were in awe of how beautiful they were. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day! If you are unsure about choosing someone to capture pictures on your special day, do NOT hesitate to book Tara! She will not disappoint!
Highly recommend. She was amazing to work with and we are very happy with our photos.

hotos. Having Tara photograph our day was the easiest decision, as soon as I saw her work on instagram I knew she was perfect for us. Her editing style is so natural and captured the true beauty of the island as a backdrop. (even managed to get a photo with a whale in the background!!) And not to mention both Tara and her second shooter Amber were the sweetest and most chill gals. We truly enjoyed them and will enjoy our photos forevermore!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Tara and her team are absolutely INCREDIBLE at what they do! After searching around for a while to find the best wedding photographer on Maui, I am positive that we made the right ...

We also used Tara Lee's elopement planning services, which made our day even easier! She also gave us a terrific variety of food and activity recommendations for our vacation, which was really helpful since it was our first time to Maui! Our photos were available to us in a timely manner, and we were absolutely blown away with how stunning they were. We couldn't be happier that we chose her to be our photographer and planner!
Tara is such a great photographer! She took the time to learn about us before our big day and made us very comfortable during the day. We love every single picture she took! Would ...

ouse. She captured all the perfect moments. She sent me photos and when I wanted an alteration/different photo style she changed and sent over many more photos. She is very professional and eager to help make the day special. She also sent over some beautiful photos she had printed and it was amazing coming home to see some gorgeous photos and reminisce about the special day. Thank you Tara!!

Tara is SO incredibly talented and an absolute JOY to work with!!! We absolutely loved getting to meet her during our engagement photos which was our first photoshoot ever, and we ...

On the day of, Tara and Nicole were so sweet, patient, and timely, making us feel so calm, happy, and excited during the whole day. We felt totally taken care of as they ensured we got all the shots we wanted, provided us with exceptional direction to make us more comfortable, and gave us cheers and praise along the way as we battled the heat and wind. She truly loves her job and it shows in her work. Everyone has told us we have the BEST wedding photos they've ever seen and we couldn't be happier. She captured the pure joy and spontaneity of the day and made everyone and everything look gorgeous. We got all our photos in just about one month, which was so fun to relive the day so soon and not have to wait a long time for the photos to come back. Thank you thank you thank you!! We will cherish these beautiful photos forever and cannot stop smiling every time we look at them.

structions of how to prepare and things to consider ahead of time! On the big day, she tweaked our poses PERFECTLY in a way that was flattering for every single person (a nearly impossible feat on windy Maui)!! From the getting ready photos, first look, wedding party, and even group photos, she was able to capture the beauty of the nature around us AND the love and joy on everyone’s faces!! She even managed to make the rain during our ceremony look like utter MAGIC!!! Oh and if you book a session during sunset/golden hour, you are in for SUCH a treat, that’s all I can say!!! Tara is a true ARTIST and will create the most breathtaking art out of the best day of your life!! We couldn’t be happier with our photos, and more importantly, the memories that we can now relive forever!! THANK YOU Tara!!!! :)
Wow, is all I can say!!!
But I'll say more - We were EXTREMELY happy to have Tara and her team shoot our wedding, as they made our experience incredible! She was always communica...
tive, made it a collaborative shooting environment, and brought out the most perfect qualities of our wedding. Throughout the event, Tara made things easy and was super creative with her shooting selections.
A destination wedding can be stressful, as you don't have the chance to meet the photographer too far ahead of time, yet in this case it turned out perfectly. Tara was at the wedding rehearsal to go over ideas and ways to make our event memorable, and then day of helpful in framing the event and the shots taken. We will be printing out our photos, hanging them in our home, and sharing them out with our family and friends!!!
We couldn't be happier with our choice, and highly recommend Tara for your special day!
Thank you Tara for helping us capture memories of a lifetime! Looking back at your work for our Chinese Tea Ceremony is bring me back to that day!! It went by so fast but now I wil...
l always have these photos to cherish and reminisce. You were able to help capture the sentimental moments as well as the quirky fun ones! I also loved that you gave us a sneak preview so fast and it only made us look more forward to see all the photos captured. Thank you for all you did!
We used Tara for our wedding in September, 2021 and was the best photographer we could have ever hired for our wedding! I feel so blessed I have her work to relive our special day ...
for the rest of our lives! Not only was Tara able to make us feel comfortable but her energy was just incredible and calming. She made a point to meet with us in person the week of our wedding to ensure she understood our vision, plan for the day and wanted to make sure she had a list of all the shots we wanted. We got amazing shots from getting ready photos all the way through the night with amazing dancing shots!! She got us a preview of a few of our photos literally the night of our wedding (sent at like 2 am!!) which was so special to be able to see that preview the night of. She also got us all of our over 800 photos in a little over 4 weeks and all were beautifully edited. Seriously I can’t say enough Tara and her team are absolutely incredible!! You can’t find a better team for your special day!!
