Tia & Claire Studio

Claire was so easy to work with and so lovely. She totally got that we wanted to get pictures done quickly to enjoy the wedding and accommodated that, and she managed to take pictures that truly captured the emotion of the ceremony and reception. The pictures are absolutely stunning and perfect.

Both Tia and Claire were great at the wedding! The photos they took were beautiful and I never felt like they were being intrusive. Tia was great about communicating with me before the wedding and took note about the feel of the photographs I was looking for.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Claire! After my initial phone call with Claire, I immediately knew we were going with her. She was so friendly and professional, very easy to talk to, and understood our vision for the day. Claire did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and both turned out fantastic! We received so many great shots, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! I can't recommend her enough. My husband usually hates getting his picture taken, but even he enjoyed the photo shoots (which is saying a lot!). I highly recommend Tia & Claire Studio - you will not be disappointed!

You cannot go wrong with Tia. We are so happy with her and the photos! Our wedding venue was in the wine country last year, but had to move last minute to the mountains of Santa Cruz, due to the forest fire. Tia was very accommodating. She came out and looked at the lighting the day before with us. I love Tia's personality. She is easy going and relaxed. This is particularly helpful on the wedding day when everything was stressful. And of course the photos are stunning! All our friends, family are so impressed by the results. People cannot stop talking about my red dress color, and it's so spectacular in the shots. We are so pleased with Tia and would highly recommend her!

I couldn't recommend Tia and Claire Studios more highly. Claire was simply fabulous to work with. She is such a great communicator, and most importantly captured stunning pictures of my wedding! I was planning from across the country and Claire immediately put me at ease when we spoke on the phone. Throughout the planning process she was able to answer all of my questions and made the day totally seamless. We had some complicated family dynamics at our wedding and she navigated all of the family pictures in a 100% efficient and professional way that got us the shots we needed quickly. On the flip side, my portraits with my husband and bridesmaids turned out fabulously because she kept us on schedule and we had plenty of time to get great candids. Meeting someone who is going to be spending all day with you on the day of your wedding could have been tough but Claire fit right in with my girls and captured the fun we had all day. We didn't want our wedding album to look overly posed and stuffy, true to her other work, Claire was able to put the feeling of the day into our pictures. We couldn't be happier. Thank you Claire!

Tia & Claire Studios is amazing!! Claire was our head photographer and Tia happened to be available on our wedding day and joined Claire as well. Claire was so incredibly nice and easy to work with pre-wedding. We talked a few times regarding how the day would go, she asked ahead of time about the photos we wanted to make sure to get, and was so incredibly accommodating. All of our family and our whole wedding party loved working with Claire and Tia! They helped direct us, took amazing photos and were quick, timely and efficient in their work!

We absolutely loved working with Tia and Claire for our October wedding. Claire did our engagement photos a few months earlier, and we had the best, most natural experience. Claire is a true photographer that didn't force any staged moments and really worked with the environment to capture us naturally and beautifully. It rained on our wedding! But we knew we were in good hands when we saw some other rainy weddings they had shot. Our photos were amazing - creative, unique to us and captured the day. They also were able to easily manage all the shots we had listed and all the improv photos. We are so happy with everything and highly highly recommend!

Claire of Tia & Claire Studio just recently photographed our wedding in Geyserville, California (Sonoma). She was outstanding! Not one negative thing to say about the whole experience. She took charge from the beginning helping us to plan our timeline. She has such a calm and charming demeanor.. I knew we were in good hands from the beginning. The photographs were incredible and everything we hoped for and more. She is a true artist. Truly exceptional.

Tia is great! She is so easy to work with and I love the photos she captured of our wedding! She knows what she is doing! There are photos she grabbed prior to the ceremony that are perfect and yet we never discussed even taking them. She has great positive energy that I enjoyed having close by on our wedding day.

Tia was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for!!!

We had a small wedding in a winery in Sonoma and had Tia by herself photograph the ceremony and reception. She was an absolute pleasure on the day and took the most perfect photos to capture our special day. We had a destination wedding and the photos were one of the most important things to us as we will be sharing them with all our loved ones who could not make the wedding. Tia captured the most natural and beautiful shots of the entire day. We could not be happier! E&R

I used Tia and Claire for my engagement photos in August 2012 and for my wedding in December 2012. They did a wonderful job. I was looking for a photographer that beautifully captured natural moments. And after seeing their work and meeting with them, I knew we had found our match. Also, my groom isn't that comfortable in front of the camera, but somehow Tia & Claire were able to get him to loosen up, feel comfortable, and actually enjoy himself. They didn't disappoint. Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully, both ladies were a pleasure to work with and have at our wedding. For the most part, we barely knew they were there. They did a perfect job of blending into the crowd and not being intrusive, which was very important to us. I worked closer with Tia throughout the planning process. She was so helpful and always quick to respond. I would highly recommend Tia & Claire photography!

Tia & Claire are outstanding ... 5++++ stars! We hired them for our wedding in Napa in August. They were everything we wanted and more. Very easy to work with, extremely professional, artistic while still capturing every precious moment. This was by far one of the best vendors we chose (and all of our wedding vendors luckily were great). We couldn't have been more pleased with the entire process. We were very picky about our photographers, we wanted a bit of an artistic quality but going too far. We wanted to still recognize ourselves and have those special moments and emotions captured naturally. We interviewed many photographers (at least 6 in the Napa area), and not only did we love their work and instantly felt comfortable when speaking with them, but they were reasonably priced for what we were getting. We live in NY so had to hire them only by seeing their samples and talking on the phone. When we went to SF in June for our engagement shoot, we knew we had made a great decision. Claire was so easy to work with, we were instantly at ease with her. She turned around the photos in days!! And we loved every shot - we knew at the wedding we were in good hands and that meant a lot to us. At the wedding, they thought of everything for us, had the photo schedule under control, covered the shot list without any stress or hassle. And best of all, the photos are INCREDIBLE! Shot after shot is stunning, from the posed shots, to those with a bit of humor, to candids and more. They are quick to turn around images, they respond immediately to emails, and are simply very nice people who do a great job and are a true pleasure to work with. Thanks so much again Tia & Claire for capturing our magical wedding day!

Tia and Claire were absolutely amazing! On the day of the wedding, they showed up early to take another look at the venue. They helped us to stay on schedule and still stay relaxed and looking great in the photos. They did such a wonderful job of capturing the day! The pictures were absolutely amazing and we couldn't be happier!

She was able to snap pictures of moments that lasted only a split second. Amazing!
