About This Vendor

Photography for Authentically Joyful Love Parties

I understand posing for the camera isn't something you do every day, but if you tell me "we're really awkward in photos!" I swear to baby Jesus, I'm going to prove you wrong. I pride myself on making your posed portraits feel natural and fun. I work best with laid back goofballs who want me to capture belly laughs, big hugs, and bad dance moves. I'm here to take photos of you as you are... authentically joyful and exuding that "just married" vibe. I fricking love love, and I fricking love getting to capture photos of it. Every couple I meet shows their love in a unique way, and I thrive on getting a glimpse of it. When I'm not gushing over how pretty you look in your wedding dress, I'm hanging out with my two little kiddos in Georgetown. I spend my days sing-screaming along to Disney movies, baking the best focaccia, and farming in Stardew Valley.

Tara is the photographer of our dreams! Both my husband and I are incredibly introverted and shy in front of a camera, but her kind demeanor and vision made the experience of our engagement photos and wedding absolutely incredible. She's not af...

raid to be silly either, indulging us in our "101 Dalmatians" inspired pictures and climbing an actual tree, which turned out to be some of our favorite pictures. On the day of our wedding, she and her second photographer Bri were incredibly efficient and personable. Our whole family was incredibly impressed with their professionalism! We received our preview the day after the wedding, and her light editing style is exactly what we wanted. With our venue, the lighting is hard to get right, but she nailed it. We can't recommend her more both professionally and personally. Hire Tara - she's amazing!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Tara! From the first time I spoke with her before hiring her, I was impressed! She made taking our engagement photos so comfortable, even though neither of us really knew what to do! Our photos don't look a...

wkwardly posed at all. After seeing our engagement photos I was even more excited for her to take our wedding photos! I love her light, airy style, as it really captures our personalities well. Plus, Tara sent 90 preview photos the day after our wedding, which is insane and so appreciated! She's also very easy to work with, answered all my questions, and responded to my emails so fast! Any time I need a photographer, she'll be my go to!

We totally lucked out with scoring Tara as our photographer! Bob and I are not the greatest at posing for pictures but Tara made us feel so comfortable and relaxed while still having fun! We were fortunate to have Tara do a very late in the gam...

e engagement shoot for us and she was able to get the pictures back to us super fast so we could use them for the wedding. Also, she gave us several beautiful sneak peeks of the wedding the SAME NIGHT which we were extremely grateful for and excited to show off. Judging from those sneak peeks, I feel confident that she captured every lovely little moment from our wedding and that is something Bob and I will treasure for the rest of our lives ❤️

Tara is AMAZING. Book her now, your research stops here :) It's so easy to be relaxed and yourself around her, which makes for truly authentic and candid photos. Her quality of work speaks for itself, but I'll go on - for both our engagement an...

d wedding photos, we could hardly choose which ones were "framers" because there's just THAT MANY great shots. Our wedding album truly tells the entire story of our day, which was so important for us to share with loved ones who couldn't be there. My husband and I are huge fans of her as a person, and you will be too. We're definitely booking her for future big moments!!
