our approach

Here’s what we’re not going to do: we aren’t going to tell you, “act natural!” No sir, together we’re going to coach you throughout the entire session so that instead of feeling awkward, we get those genuine crinkle-nosed-snorting-laughs. Also likely to be included in your experience is some spicy slow dancing to Ed Sheeran or Bon Iver, some long, lingering hugs, and a few crazy fast piggy-pack rides. Deal?

All your friends are gonna be jealous – we’ll help plan locations, wardrobe + overall experience.

No matter where you are in your relationship journey, we love creating photos that are not only gorgeous today but also remind our couples that even on the days when the dog won’t stop barking, the floor is covered in cheerios or the laundry room looks like an episode of hoarders, your love for each other and your story is, yes, still beautiful. Your history together is worth documenting.

Side Note: Our non-photo-loving guys have shared with us that the couples session was one of their favorite experiences because it was so easy and actually fun!

So let’s plan a day, go somewhere beautiful and create a slew of images that will fill up the frames on your walls for years to come.

“…I wouldn’t think twice about hiring them again…”

Tara did an amazing job as the photographer at our wedding. I don’t think my wife and I would have been able to plan things out and have a perfect night without Tara’s help and guidance. Everything from the planning, engagement, and of course the wedding photos, Tara was there doing a phenomenal job.

Their skills go way beyond the camera and the photos she takes, Tara is just all around an amazing person I wouldn’t think twice about hiring them again if I had to do it all over again.

“…more than wedding photographers… truly incredible…”

“Tara and Stephen are more than wedding photographers. They helped with the timeline of our wedding to ensure every moment was captured perfectly. They became the friends we needed when handling a stressful time. They taught us how to photograph as a couple so both of us looked and felt flawless. I cant give enough stars or gratitude for these two individuals. Truly incredible people who take their passion for photography to a new level.”

“they will go above and beyond… absolutely gorgeous!”

Tara and Stephen are not only amazing photographers but amazing people! They truly care about YOU and want to get to know you to ensure your wedding is perfect. They will go above and beyond to make you feel special and comfortable. Plus, their photos are absolutely gorgeous. We are so lucky to have them photograph all of our special moments!

“…amazing, magazine cover-like photos!…”

Tara and Stephen with Pattengale Photography are the “A” team, and this husband and wife duo are such a pleasure to work with. Tara is super organized and really has it down when it comes to thinking through all the details, developing a photography timeline, and coordinating with the other vendors to ensure she knows the flow of the day. They coached us along the way and worked with our adventure engagement session location to deliver amazing, magazine cover-like photos! They made the wedding day a blast as well, as they worked intimately with us to capture every exciting and joyful moment of the day.

“…I was blown away with all they delivered”

“If I could give this couple 50 stars I would!! Who wouldn’t want a couple that loves love so much sharing and capturing their magical day!? Stephen and Tara are such special people and couldn’t be more perfect for this avenue of photography. Beyond taking stunning images, they truly understand what all a wedding entails and they do all they can to take any stress away from the day. I couldn’t believe how well they helped me prepare for the day by running us through all details, making me a timeline and helping everyone stick to it day of, basically they were also my wedding coordinators. I knew from our initial meeting I could trust them and let that worry go for the big day and I was blown away with all they delivered. We even hope to stay in touch after because they really are just cool people!”
