Hiring Tarren as our photographer for our wedding was the best decision we made. When we first saw her work, we fell in love, but actually working with her was a dream come true. N...
ot only was she a true professional and fantastic at her job, her warm and inviting personality made everyone feel comfortable. She had our backs throughout the whole wedding process and knew exactly what we needed. She went from being a photographer we hired to being our day of hype woman to becoming part of our family and a friend we can count on. Her pictures capture true emotion and highlight our favorite things about each other. Looking through her pictures brings us right back to everything we loved about our big day. Thank you Tarren for helping to make our day better than we dreamed of!
Tarren (and Angela) were amazing to work with! She was efficient in capturing all of my requested shots and blended in with our vibe of the day so easily. Our wedding party was so ...
impressed with her ability to organize the large group quickly and keep the fun energy up! Not only was she so wonderful to spend the day with, but she got our preview photos back to us in less than 48 hours! She was thorough, fun, relaxed, and everything we could ask for in a wedding day photographer!

Tarren Bailey is the most friendly and professional photographer to work with. Not only did she knock it out of the park for my own wedding back in 2019, but she continued to shine...

Her eye for detail is unmatched, her organization skills are like none other and her candid shots are absolutely the best!
Thank you Tarren for capturing these priceless memories!

The photographs were given to us in a timely manner and we absolutely loved them! We were so lucky to have Tarren as our photographer and highly recommend her.
Tarren did engagement photos for my fiancé and I (and is booked for our wedding). She is very easy to work with and wants you to get the photos you want out of the shoot but also h...
as great suggestions for poses. My fiancé doesn’t really like taking pictures but Tarren was great at getting him to relax and be himself during the whole process. The turn around for getting our finalized pictures was quick and we loved all of them as well as being able to send the link of the digital photos to friends and family for them to pick their favorites to print.
Tarren is awesome! So friendly and easy to work with. My fiance and I have never had professional pictures taken and she instantly made us feel comfortable. Her pictures have such ...
a beautiful quality to them and she made the process so easy. So excited for how our wedding photos will turn out. Highly recommend!
I'm beyond thankful that we hired Tarren to photograph our intimate wedding ceremony/dinner in May. We had about 30 guests and Tarren honestly felt like one of the family. Not only...
did she perfectly capture out day, but she kept us calm and made sure everything was organized and running on time. Cannot recommend her enough!!
Tarren is a gem to work with! She didn’t hesitate to travel to Maine for our midweek wedding. My now-husband doesn’t love having his picture taken, but you’d never know by looking ...
at our wedding photos. I even forgot a camera was pointed at us most of the time. Tarren captured our wedding day story perfectly through a lens. The hard part is deciding which ones to frame!

ry helpful suggestions. I collected a small group of photo ideas and sent them to her and she hit the nail on the head on what we wanted. Tarren had her husband as her second shooter. They are an amazing team and our guests and wedding party couldn’t stop telling us about how great they were to work with. Tarren was able to capture so many magical moments from our wedding, I would never hesitate to recommend Tarren to anyone looking for someone to take wedding photos, family photos, engagement photos, etc.

We loved the photos from our wedding so much, that we hired her for our maternity photos and upcoming newborn photos!
Tarren captured our special day so perfectly, I can't even begin to explain. She was so helpful from beginning to end, and traveled all the way to Georgia to capture my wedding. Th...
e pictures are amazing and perfectly capture what my husband and I's love is. I have received so many compliments on how great our photographer was and how nice she was and how great our photos came out. I knew the one thing I really wanted for my wedding was the perfect photographer, and I found her. You will not regret having her capture your special day. The pictures you get at the end truly make you relive that day, and see so many special moments that just fly by. I have those moments forever because of her. Perfectly captured, perfectly us. Thank you Tarren! <3
Tarren was exceptionally attentive to the wishes of the bride and groom. She sought opportunities to record precious memories, while remaining in the background. We had no idea she...
had captured the images until we saw the preview.
We felt as though Tarren shared our joy and excitement even though we had just met her. I highly recommend that you trust Tarren to photograph your special day.
Tarren is the absolute best, she photographed my wedding and has done several family photo shoots for us over the years since we had kids. As for the wedding photography she takes...
amazing pictures, gives excellent direction which I desperately need since Im not natural at having my photo taken. Tarren also helps keeping everyone organized and moving along and could not be more warm and enjoyable to work with. As for family photos she is a natural with children and excellent at rolling with the kids moods and dealing my three year olds random moods he gets into. She had a wide variety of poses and combinations of all five of us and also took some great candid shots that I really loved. I would highly recommend her for either weddings or family photos.
Our wedding day was everything we expected and Tarren and Sam captured every important moment! Tarren was able to wrangle our very large families with ease, especially while some o...
f them aren’t very interested in taking pictures. You can see her passion in every picture she takes!
Literally the most amazing experience and most stunning photos!!!
We highly recommend Tarren Bailey Photography for capturing your wedding memories. We did, not once but twice in 2021! Our sons married only 5 months apart and to say it was a hec...
tic time is putting in mildly. Tarren's calm demeanor and professionalism took the worry out of one aspect of the planning and the wedding day. Each wedding was captured in it's own unique way and we couldn't be happier.
I recently got engaged and did my engagement shoot with Tarren. I cannot recommend her enough! She is ready to work with what ever photography ideas you have but also has so many...
great suggestions. She captured so many beautiful shots and many of them with my fiancé smiling (which is hard to do!). And was open to any location and time we wanted. I cannot wait to work with her and Sam on my wedding day because I know she will be able to capture so many amazing moments for us to look back on in the future.

We are very happy with our experience, and will definitely call Tarren again if we need photos in the future! We strongly recommend her work :)

he made it her top priority to make sure my desired style was captured in all photos. I told her how much I loved artistic and candid photos and she was SPOT ON! To say I'm obsessed with her photos from my wedding is an understatement! She did such a fabulous job to make sure timing was everything and all the different types of photos we wanted during our first look, wedding party, and family photos were captures and nothing was missed or forgotten! She is so kind, sweet, and east to work with it make the day so relaxed and comfortable, I never felt like I was being forced into any photos or like I had to make photos happen. She make everyting happen so smoothly and made sure my entire day from getting ready all the way to dancing my shoes off on the dance floor was captured and remembered. Finally, she is so eager to make sure your own personal budget is met and will do whatever she can to do so.

e was accommodating to my neice who has a fear of picture taking and took time prior to our event to familiarize my neice to what she would be doing. Because of this we were able to get family shots that will be treasured for years. We were so pleased with our wedding portraits we booked her to photograph us for our first baby announcement! She was able to produce stunning options while adhering to my ideas of a more simple portrait with less props. In 8 months time we will surely be booking her for our baby shoot!
