INTIMATE WEDDING & ELOPEMENT

our approach
01
So here’s the deal. After photographing over 100 weddings and elopements the past few years, what we’ve found is that the real magic is found somewhere between an adventurous experience you two have together and the conversations over an intimate candlelit dinner with your closest friends. It’s not in the wedding binders filled with checklists of traditions you “should do,” the endless emails, or in inviting your second cousin, twice removed whom you’ve never met. It’s also not about throwing the biggest party of the year that seems cool but honestly, isn’t you. Don’t get us wrong, we love a good partayyy, but this is your story.
And that story is about the two of you deeply & wildly & passionately celebrating. What we – and our couples – have come to value are the in-between moments you can’t get enough of. The way he brushes those joyful tears away and pulls you close. Or the look in your dad’s eye as he gives you away. When your dress catches up in the wind as you both overlook that breathtaking view. Or the way he fiddles with his new ring all night and it’s honestly the sexiest thing you’ve ever clapped eyes on. We believe in capturing moments. And providing a ridiculous experience you’ll look back on years hence and say,
“Dahum, that was the BEST way to celebrate us.”
As photographers, we’ll seal those moments up for forever. And as friends, we believe that the best is yet to come.

“…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!”

“…I wouldn’t think twice about hiring them again…”
Tara & Stephen did an amazing job as the photographers 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 and Stephen’s help and guidance. Everything from the planning, engagement, and of course the wedding photos, Tara and Stephen were there doing a phenomenal job.
Their skills go way beyond the camera and the photos they take, they’re just all around amazing people. 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 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.
