It’s been almost two years since our wedding. Tara was late on the day of, so we never got to take any photos of us getting ready.
The package we paid for also included a wedding ...
album, which we never got. Tara has totally ignored all of my emails, texts and phone calls. I even reached out to her assistant to have her get in touch with me.. and nothing. Totally unprofessional!! I just want our album or some money refunded so I can get our album elsewhere!! I’m in the process of seeking legal action!
Do not hire, her communication is horrible !
While the photos I received were beautiful, Tara’s lack of communication throughout was truly terrible. She also did not show up on time to my wedding causing me to hire an emergen...
cy photographer to fill in. She has ignored requests to discuss a refund and I am pursing legal action.
It’s been over 2 years since our wedding and we have yet to receive our album which we paid nearly $2K. Tara has completely ignored our communications and refuses to deliver what w...
e paid for. Unfortunately we’ve had to pursue legal action. DO NOT WORK WITH HER.
Tara is truly a professional, 20/10 would recommend!!! My husband and I are so uncomfortable in front of the camera, but you would never know it from the photos Tara captured. Afte...
r our first phone call she had several photo schedule options based on the timing of the sunset (never would’ve thought of this), and during both our engagement and wedding photos helped us find poses that felt natural rather than awkward or forced. She and her team also captured so many sweet candids of us, our family and friends which we LOVE. Having Tara thinking of all of these details allowed us to relax and genuinely enjoy the day, and looking back on the photos it totally shows! We would 100% pick Tara again, she helped make our day so special.
Tara took both my engagement and wedding photos. My pictures came out absolutely stunning! She was prompt and easy to work with wedding day. I gave 4 stars because of communication...
. My wedding was 12/4/2021; however, I did not receive my photos till April 8, 2022. Her contract said 6-8 weeks to receive photos. I had to initiate communication regarding status of photos. I was fine if they were taking longer than expected but I just wanted an update.
Tara was a dream to work with! I found her on instagram and immediately loved the look of her photos. She mixes it up so that you get serious looking, playful, candid, etc. I am ca...
mera shy and have no idea what to do my body when posing. Tara has the perfect eye though! She gives great direction and knows exactly what looks good in a photo and what doesn't work. I literally do not have a single photo from her that I don't like. I tear up every time I look at them because it just reminds of such a perfect day and she captured it beautifully! I could not have asked for more in a photographer and highly, highly recommend! Thank you for everything Tara!
Tara is an excellent wedding photographer! We chose her for her dreamy photos and great use of capturing light which was wonderful for our sunset wedding on the beach! She was easy...
to work with and so much fun the day of the wedding which made it so much easier to be comfortable with so many cameras around. She was also very professional and great with communication prior to the wedding. She did a great job of picking beautiful backdrops and getting amazing photos during sunset! I would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding photographer!
It gives me great pleasure to take a few minutes to write a review for Tara. This girl is the real deal, and my husband and I couldn't be more grateful that we found her. I spent...
an inordinate amount of time looking for the right fit for our wedding photographer. I interviewed multiple people, and really didn't feel like I found the right person until I talked to Tara. My husband and I instantly connected with her, and I knew she would be the right fit. I really wanted a photographer who had a variety of styles, yet was classic and timeless. Her work speaks for itself, but I also wanted someone that we could click with and that would help us to feel comfortable taking pictures, and Tara did just that. Our engagement photos came back and were absolutely amazing (our friends and family are still talking about these photos) we even had one of them blown up and hung up at our wedding because it was so beautiful. Tara delivered exactly what we were looking for and then some. She arrived early the day of the wedding and was professional, articulate, kind, directive, and calming to be around. She sent us our "sneak peaks" 3 days after the wedding which is unbelievable. We never expected to get our photos back so soon, and they are absolutely beautiful. They made us both cry because they came out so perfect. Tara is wonderful, if you're looking for a photographer take my word for it. I spent hours searching for the perfect photographer, and Tara is it!
Ok Ladies & Gents -
This woman is seriously A GEM!!! I could not have asked for a better photographer! She was FANTASTIC. She was meticulous in her work, very cautious of our timi...
ng and extremely creative. I loved working with her and to mention you become best friends with her right away. Matthew and I could have not had more fun doing pictures with her. She wastes no time and has a vision immediately for what she wants. I was stressing out where exactly at my venue we were going to take pictures and within 2 seconds she led the way and had a vision in mind. Her charisma shines right through her work and you will not regret spending the money for pictures you can have for a lifetime. SO SO SO HAPPY with Tara and love her to pieces! If you don't choose her as your photographer you are seriously missing out on BEAUTIFUL work!
Tara was incredible to work with, she was always so quick to respond to any questions I had. Our photos are AMAZING and she had a ton of previews ready for us before we even return...

e enjoyed shooting with her so much. She made us feel comfortable and "real" when we were together. Not only did wee feel comfortable with her, but the photographs are AMAZING!!! They came out so beautiful. The lighting, emotions, love captured was outstanding.
Tara is amazing! Tara was the first wedding vendor we booked, and as it turned out, the very best decision we made! Her work speaks for itself, but she was great to work with. She ...
was extremely responsive (always a bonus when planning a wedding!). The day of she arrived on time, quickly captured all the shots we requested. She also had a great eye for finding unique backdrops that translated to film beautifully. She truly listened to what was important to us, but still provided her recommendations on how to make the photos the best they can be! During dancing, I barely even knew she and her assistant were there. I believe it's a rare combination to find a photographer that blends professionalism, and the level of skill that Tara poses. We were absolutely thrilled with the entire process! She and shared some of her favorite photos of our wedding with us even sooner than we had expected! I highly recommend you talk to Tara about capturing your special day!

Everything was beyond our expectation!! I was in contact with a few photographers at first but Tara was an easy pick above the rest. She was flexible, affordable, interested in our...
vision and our look and just wanted to get to know us to really relate and capture our relationship and love for the big day. Our engagement pictures and wedding pictures are all beyond STUNNING and perfection, I didn’t know we could ever look that good haha! Also, after seeing just the preview of our wedding day photos, our newly engaged friends already booked her for their special day. Tara and her partner were relaxed and prepared amongst all the crazy wedding events the day of, so it helped me stay calm and just focus on the beauty of the whole day. I truly could not have asked for more beautiful pictures and experience with a photographer during our happiest, craziest and most exciting season!

willing to work with me for what I wanted. I have never felt 100% comfortable in front of the camera but Tara made taking these special photos come so easy and natural. When we got our wedding photos back I was truly blown away by how beautiful they were. She captured our special day in the most perfect way and I will forever be thankful. There will never be enough words to thank her for for giving us all these precious memories. Cannot wait to use her again for future family sessions (:
