Taran and Ines were absolutely amazing, and we cannot recommend them enough! From the beginning, they were extremely thoughtful and professional, putting together a package for us ...
based on our needs. As we got closer to our wedding day, they had excellent communication and helped us put together a timeline that balanced all the shots we wanted with all the little details we didn't even think about. On our wedding day, we had three separate ceremonies, and they were so professional and efficient throughout, keeping track of the timeline, making sure they got through our extensive shotlist, helping us pose, and suggesting nice scenic areas to take photos. They delivered photos ahead of their promised timeline, and we are blown away by how beautiful the photos are, and how the spirit of our day was captured throughout the photos. Neither I nor my husband are what we consider "photogenic" people but thanks to their expertise, our photos turned out better than we could have imagined!

From our first experience with Taran and Ines, they were incredibly professional, approachable, and kind. They were quick to respond to all communications, and managed to make a stereotypically stressful and busy time feel more relaxed and manageable. They worked with us closely to achieve our vision and to make the wedding photography experience comfortable and fun, from our engagement shoot through the day and evening of the wedding.
We highly recommend you go with Wedding Nature Photography for any event you have, we will definitely be booking them again for future photoshoot

We have only amazing things to say about Wedding Nature Photography! Taran and Ines are a great team to work with, answering all of our questions clearly and kindly, and making sur...
e we felt comfortable.
They presented a thorough timeline for us and catered to our photography needs. For example, we said romantic photos were more important to us than family photos, and they worked with our timeline to give us a great variety of photos. They also coordinated with our other vendors on the timeline (especially our wedding planner) which was a huge weight lifted off of us.
It was very important to us that the photographers for our wedding didn't make themselves seen too much especially during the ceremony and reception dances/speeches/etc. We hired Wedding Nature Photography because they photographed our friends' wedding and we noticed we barely noticed them!! For our wedding they were perfect, I honestly didn't even know they were there and that's something you want in a wedding photographer. For the portraits, Taran and Ines were so helpful with the poses, telling us exactly what to do with our stance, hands, legs, head, everything! And this is something that my now husband and I needed! We didn't have to worry about coming up with poses, they had such a great variety ready for us.
We were given a sneak peak of a few photos a few days after our wedding while we were on our honeymoon which was such an unexpected treat! Then a couple weeks later they sent the link to a website with all of our digital photos organized into categories (preparation, ceremony, etc.). You're able to download them to your phone or computer within a couple months which is great! The photos themselves are high resolution and are of gorgeous quality.
Overall, we highly recommend Wedding Nature Photography for wedding or engagement photos because they offer exceptional service, beautiful photos incorporating nature and important wedding aspects, and they're very professional.

I have so many amazing things to say about Taran and Wedding Nature - honestly hard to capture it all. Ines and Taran make a great team. Communication and planning for the timeline...
was seamless and easy, and they have all the details down pat for how to organize for flow. Taran is a mastermind at perspective and knew so many great places to take photos around SB - at the courthouse, our ceremony location the Unitarian church, and Alice Keck Park - that's one of the reasons why I chose him! He really brings out the beauty of natural outdoor spaces and light. And oh how amazing he is at editing. ALL of our guests complimented how beautiful the photos turned out.
On top of being very flexible on the day of when we switched up some of the plans for where to take photos, he made my husband and I feel at ease by posing us and directing guests, bridal party, and family members for photos. Ines was present on the day of as assistant and helped me feel comfortable as a bride, putting my nerves at rest and adjusting hair, veil, all the bridal accoutrements. :)
I can't thank them enough. Husband and I absolutely love our wedding photos, which Taran was able to turn around in a weeks time (!!!). We loved working with Wedding Nature so much.

We had such a great experience with Taran and Ines. This is what professional photography should be like!
The communication throughout the entire process was quick, flawless and p...
rofessional.
They addressed every concern we had and accommodated everything we asked for.
Our wedding was at the Santa Barbara Courthouse.
Taran came fully equipped with 2 cameras, ready with different lenses to save time and a portable flash for indoor photography.
We are pretty nerdy and are not great at romantic posing. But Taran told us exactly where and how to stand, where to look, and what to do. The entire photo session that included both in-door and outdoor photography was super fun and was an experience on its own.
Less than a week after our wedding we got a link with all the photos in high resolution, so we didn't even have to wait too long.
The result was amazin. We got a variety of super awesome photographs, some very romantic and some formal. Some outdoors with natural light and some looked like scenes from a Hollywood movie from inside the courthouse.
The post-editing was amazing. The colors and contrast were dreamy and absolutely magical. Exactly how we asked for and hoped for, but even better. Each photo is 100% perfect.
I wouldn't recommend any other photography service. They are the real deal.
Thank so much for everything!

Taran and Ines thoroughly captured the feeling of the evening - every important moment at the alter but also the tiniest of hand squeezes between my parents, sweet glances with grandmother and grandson on the dance floor. They even allowed me to hire them for an extra hour to stay until the end and capture our exit- at such a reasonable price. I couldnโt imagine our wedding without them and am so grateful I found them through the Knot.

dding, and it was one of the best choices we made! My husband and I did quite a lot of research beforehand and were super impressed by the samples on their website - and the actual photos do not disappoint! Taran captured all of our special moments, helped us decide on poses and locations, recommended an almost entirely empty beach in Malibu for our session, and really went above and beyond throughout the day. Our officiant ended up being around 2 hours late, completely missing our sunset ceremony, but Taran's energy and positivity was great to have around and he recommended a few unique phots to fill the time and make our sunset "ceremony" special! Even on his way out, he paused to suggest a few more pictures that turned out so well. They also had a 2 week turnaround for our pictures, which was MUCH faster than most other shops. Cannot say enough about how great our experience was and how impressed we were - save yourself some time and stress; book with Wedding Nature Photography!

We booked Wedding Nature Photography when we were originally planning a 150 person wedding at a large venue in Santa Barbara in September 2020. With the pandemic, we had to cancel ...
most of our plans and instead host a small wedding with immediate family only in a family member's backyard. Taran and Ines remained calm, flexible, and compassionate throughout the process of planning a new event when there were a lot of unknowns. On our wedding day, Taran was wonderful to work with. He made us feel comfortable despite the heat wave and pandemic, and gave us clear directions during our formal portraits to ensure we looked our best. He managed to capture every part of the ceremony and reception, with a real attention to detail and variety. My husband remarked that he doesn't remember seeing Taran at all, yet somehow Taran managed to be everywhere all at once! We received our photos after only two weeks, and they are stunning. Taran captured our love and happiness so well, and we simply cannot decide on favoriteย photos as we love them all! Since our guests could not be there in person, it's particularly meaningful that we have such special photos that captured the joy of our wedding day.

I am not going to deny that I am a very picky and particular bride... especially about photos. :D So when I was looking for a photographer for our outdoor wedding, I instantly knew...
that Taran & Ines were the ones - and they did not disappoint!! Taran shot our small covid wedding ceremony on a private beach and was able to catch the spirit of the place and moment so beautifully. Scrolling through the photos, they truly create a full story of the ceremony, that we know we will cherish for years to come. The bride & groom photoshoot we had after was so much fun and it is incredibly hard to pick just one favorite photo because there are so many! Taran was really great at guiding us, was professional but also so kind, and my family absolutely loved him. We can't wait for Taran & Ines to capture our big reception next year!

Where to start. Taran and Ines are just simply amazing. We hired them for our engagement shoot and our wedding. Both sets of photos turned out absolutely beautiful. My friends and ...
family keep asking who they are because the way they take advantage of the environment around them is breathtaking. Trust their process and I promise it'll be more than worth it!
We went from a 250 person wedding to a small 50 person social distanced wedding. I had several vendors and my venue cancel 2 months before our date so we did a lot of scrambling, I was emailing them a couple times a week and they showed us nothing but grace when tackling the changes. They're help and kindness really helped pull it all together in the end. We cannot thank them enough for the wonderful photos and experience that will last us a lifetime.

Wedding Nature Photography did a fantastic job at our daughters wedding! They were very easy to work with. They had ideas and examples of what we might like and also listened to w...
hat we wanted and delivered it! For example we provided a list of "must have" photos of various family members and they got them all. During the event, a Catholic church service, they were unobtrusive and respective of the religious ceremony while capturing many great shots of the service, the couple and the crowd. Similarly at the reception which had both outdoor and indoor components, they captured those beautifully. They are true professionals! Post wedding, the on-line portal they provided was very easy to use, well organized and it was obvious they put time into great organization and naming of the pictures. The site allowed us to order professional prints on a variety of surfaces (i.e. canvas etc.) . Lastly, they were extremely responsive to any inquiries we had. Great job Ilya and Ines! Definitely give them a look when considering your photographers!

Ilya and Ines did a fantastic job capturing all of our precious moments on our Big Day. They were also extremely professional to work with the day of my wedding and also the days l...
eading up to it. They contacted me immediately if I had a question or concern.
Regarding the quality of the photos~they are top notch! Their light and airy touch caught my eye and I could not be happier with my photos. They captured our most intimate moments and created absolute magic. Each photo was more beautiful than I had imagined.
Also-I spent a lot of time researching wedding photographers and most of them were around $4,000-5,000- totally out of my budget. Then I came across Ilya and Ines, and it seemed too good to be true. Not only were they affordable for a bride on a budget, but they did the best work and are such a pleasure to work with. If youโre looking for all of these qualities in a photographer, look no further!

ent and wedding photos! They captured every moment so beautifully; there were details in the wedding that I had missed but their photos captured them so perfectly. They were so receptive to worries that I had or certain shots that I wanted and made them happen. Every detail and every smile from our special day was captured and we could not be happier :). Our wedding day was perfect and Ilya and Ines made sure to capture all our the wonderful details and happy moments. They made both myself and my husband comfortable and effortless in front of the camera, which really added something special into our photos. They are so incredibly talented and I could not recommend them more! What was also so great was that we got our photos so quickly after the wedding!! Our engagement photos took less than ten days to get back and we got our wedding photos three weeks after the wedding. Getting the pictures was like reliving our special day all over again! I loved working with Ilya and Ines and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their special day photographed :).

Lisa & Alberto were so wonderful to work with. They were so helpful. We didn't have a wedding planner so they basically did our timeline for us to make sure our day ran smoothly. ...
And it really did. we were able to enjoy our day and have enough time to do all the photos that we wanted. Photography was the most important vendor to us because we both love photos, and we were completely blown away by the photos they delivered. We could not have asked for more!

st style, LOOK NO FURTHER. Not only was their turn-around so fast, they were the most seamless part of the day. Our outdoor wedding + reception ended up with some fluke rainy weather in spite of the "sunny and 73" forecast. They played a big part in helping me feel at ease and not worried about the constant drizzle. The pictures turned out stunning and they were able to leverage the filtered light from the weather to create some of the most romantic shots I have seen. I can't believe these are OUR wedding pictures. Our family and friends could not believe the amount of special and candid moments they captured. It truly was the perfect blend for us and we loved working with Taran and Ines.

We could not have been happier with Wedding Nature Photography's work for our wedding! The photos came so quickly and were everything that I had wanted. They captured every moment ...
of the wedding and it was so amazing to look through all of the photos from such an important day. There was so much attention to detail, whether it was the lighting, angles, helpful posing, etc. and it definitely shows! We have been receiving so many compliments from everyone on the amazing quality photos, and they are definitely some shots that will be framed in our home for years to come. We are beyond happy with the results!

Wedding Nature Photography is simply amazing! No other way to put it. Ilya was very professional and patient with us and scoped out amazing places to take pictures. He also told us...
how to pose, which may seem a simple thing, but was really helpful for us non-models. I also think he must have done some photoshop magic to make my veil look the same white color as my dress, because that is definitely something that was overlooked in my planning phase. The pictures turned out wonderfully and we're so, so happy! Choosing Wedding Nature Photography means you can feel very confident on your wedding day that the pictures, at least, will be perfect.

Wedding Nature Photography was a dream to work with! For many, choosing a photographer for your special day can be extremely stressful. When I saw pics and reviews of Wedding Natur...
e on The Knot, I just knew immediately they were the ones I would choose to capture some awesome shots. IIya is truly talented the way he captures nature and pays attention to details to get the perfect and imperfect (candid) shot. He explores where you want to take pics ahead of time (engagement shoot), gives you tips, makes you feel at ease and really puts in the thought & creativity to get some incredible shots. From the moment I reached out to them, llya and Ines were prompt, professional and so kind! They were so extremely easy and enjoyable to work with! In fact, on my wedding day... no one could tell llya was even there. Both our engagement and wedding day photos were finished very quickly. He took the most amazing shots that my husband and I will treasure forever, in fact we still get compliments on them. We canโt thank them enough and would definitely use again in the future without a doubt!

could have imagined. My biggest priority in the wedding was having a good photographer, so I spent a lot of time researching wedding photographers in the area. All of the good ones were SO expensive. $4,000-5,000!! Then I came across Ilya and Ines, and it seemed to good to be true, it fit the budget and the portfolio was beautiful. But it's true. Not only were they a pleasure to work with, but the photos turned out STUNNING. And Ilya was able to capture the entire day, from the posed family photos to (more importantly) the emotions, and candid shots. & we received our photos so quick! We were still on the honeymoon so we were able to look at them and relive the day on our honeymoon which was so special.

autiful intimate portraits as well as stunning artistic shots like the ones we loved on their website. On our wedding day, they were professional and efficient, which helped family portraits go smoothly, but they were also so fun to work with: when Ines was there while my bridesmaids and I were getting ready earlier in the day, it didn't feel at all like there was a stranger in the room, which made the candid shots even better. From the rain at the ceremony, to the sun coming out, to the night falling, every moment was captured so vividly. Best of all, we received the full collection of photos only ten days after the wedding. We would highly recommend Wedding Nature to anyone!

I can truly say that I can look back at all of my photos and actually relive my wedding because there were so many amazing moments that were captured for us to remember forever. They were also very responsive when it came to booking the dates, as well as sending me lists of what I would need ready for them to have a great photoshoot.

fectly captured. We couldn't be happier with the outcome! Not only did the photos come out beautifully, he gave us a lasting memory during our engagement period.
Ilya is professional, warm and kind. Even before we met, he stayed on top of all our communications, especially through the chaotic Woolsey Fire incident. During the shoot, he really helped bring out our best selves and feel natural while doing so.
Highly recommend Wedding Nature to anyone who needs their special moments captured forever.

Both Ilya and Ines are as amazing as their work. I have so many great things to say about them that its hard to narrow it down. Their personalities and warm demeanor alone make you...
feel at ease and comfortable every step of the way. I've never felt more beautiful. They not only offer very reasonable quotes, but their willingness to work with you and personalize your photos is so extremely refreshing. I got my prints back no more than 3 weeks after my wedding day, I know at least 2 brides right now that are still waiting for their photos and they got married well before my wedding date. When I saw my prints for the first time I could not believe they were of myself, and I was just at a loss for words. So absolutely incredible. I am so happy I choose Wedding Nature Photography and I highly HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding. I will definitely be contacting them again for any event I should have in the future, I can't think of working with anyone better than Ilya and Ines!
