Your story, captured
I photograph your wedding day through the touches, laughter, and quiet glances across the room — the moments that make your day feel alive and true. Even when something feels imperfect, it’s often exactly what makes it meaningful.
Your wedding exists in a single day, but the photographs carry the atmosphere, the emotions, and the people who surround you — allowing you to return to those moments for years to come.
For Couples Who Value Depth, Not Just Moments
You care about the quiet, intimate moments as much as the joyful celebrations. The way a glance across the room or a gentle touch can say more than words ever could.
You’re drawn to honest, romantic storytelling and want images that feel natural, artful, and timeless. Whether your celebration is small or grand, close to home or across the miles, you want your story preserved in a way that feels personal, effortless, and completely you.
A photography experience that lets you be present.
Your wedding day is made up of more than the moments that make it onto a timeline.
It's the nervous excitement before the ceremony. The way your people gather around you. The quiet moments between events. The hands you hold, the people you laugh with, the places that mean something to you.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple receives a thoughtful, highly personal experience from our first conversation to the delivery of your final gallery.
I offer intimate and full-day collections, thoughtfully designed around the way you choose to celebrate. Custom coverage is also available for celebrations that don't fit neatly into a collection.
Wedding collections begin at $2,200.
What to Expect
Before
Once we're officially booked, we'll stay in touch as your plans come together. I'll help with your photography timeline, answer questions along the way, and make sure you feel prepared as your wedding day approaches.
During
On your wedding day, I'll be there to document it as it naturally unfolds. I'll offer gentle direction when it's helpful, step back when it isn't, and make space for the moments that happen in between.
After
After your wedding, I'll carefully select and hand-edit your photographs to create a gallery that feels true to your day. You'll receive a preview within 72 hours, with your complete gallery delivered within 10 weeks.

4-hours Of Intimate Wedding Coverage
“Tara was the best decision that we made for our wedding day! I was originally drawn to her dreamy / fairytale like editing style and the fact that she really seemed to be capturing moments, not just photos. She was so communicative throughout the entire process, and is just such a genuine, sweet person. She made the day feel much less stressful and was able to capture all of the important moments I wanted in a way that felt so natural. I have never felt more beautiful than I do in my wedding photos! She also was able to capture posed family photos which were important to my husband and his family, and those are beautiful as well! I would 100% recommend Tara for any event and I hope to get to work with her again in the future!”
