You’ve heard it a million times before:

Your wedding day will pass by in a blur. You won’t remember a thing!

let that be someone else's story.

I'm Tara

LUXURY DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR HOPELESS ROMANTICS & FASHION-FOWARD COUPLES

Would it surprise you to know I remember every moment of my ten+ hour wedding day? It’s true. I thought through and planned for the emotional moments ahead of time.  

And in collaboration with your planner, I will do the same for you. 

Using over nine years of experience, I intuitively know what moments to look for, where to be, and when. And I constantly search for the nuanced, deeper emotional connection of each moment as I guide you along the way. 

You see, I do my best work when art intersects with your love story — allowing me to create an environment where you can experience and feel every single moment in real-time.

So, you can slow down, savor the experience, and fully take in the day. Knowing you can return to that joy, time and time again.

"Tara was the single best choice we made for our wedding!

She was hands-on throughout the process, everything from giving advice on how to style our
engagement shoot to discussing every detail of our day-of timeline until it was perfect.

Not only is Tara an amazing photographer – she is also an incredibly sweet and thoughtful person. I enjoyed every minute with her!”
