Pamela Tatz Photography
I'm Pamela Tatz, a wedding photographer and videographer based in Southern California. The choice of a wedding photographer is deeply personal, and I’m grateful that you’ve found your way here.
After photographing wedding celebrations of all types and sizes—from intimate elopements to huge multi-day destination weddings—I’ve refined a style that mixes romantic detail shots, documentary-style candids, and romantic, free-flowing, editorial portraiture that feel like stills from a movie.
OUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY SERVICES
I specialize in capturing your wedding day as it really happened, true to the colors of your day. My photography style is candid and authentic, rooted in photojournalism and influenced by editorial and fashion photography. What results are images that are fresh, cinematic, and emotional.
I offer separate packages for intimate or micro-weddings, full wedding days, and multi-day weddings, as well as wedding videography services as an add-on to the photography packages. Additionally, I offer second photographer services (which are complimentary with full-day wedding photography packages) and drone photography. I also travel frequently for destination weddings.
My team and I are dedicated to capturing weddings beautifully without interrupting the flow and magic of the day (there will be no hovering over you during the ceremony and blocking your guests' view). That's one of the main reasons why we began to offer videography add-ons: Your video and photo coverage will work as a team, and as the lead photographer, I can ensure that we all have the same mindset and approach.
MY APPROACH TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: I'VE GOT YOUR BACK
I like to describe myself as the friendly fly-on-the-wall photographer. I won't be weirdly silent in a corner of the room, tying myself into pretzels or standing on tables. Instead, I'll mix into the group, laughing along with you and your wedding party, being a calming and friendly presence, and snapping candids as they happen. Years of experience as a wedding photographer have taught me when to insert myself (maybe suggesting a good time for you and your wedding party to crack open that bottle of champagne), when to provide guidance, and when to create space and step away.
During portraits, my approach is to keep it as fun and easy-going as possible. I’ll always give you guidance on how to stand and where to put your hands, and I’ll usually give you something to think of, something to do, or something silly to say to each other that distracts you from the camera, gets honest laughter, and creates photos that look cinematic, like stills from a movie. My goal isn’t just to take beautiful photos; it’s to capture the essence of your connection.
