Tara gave us absolutely the best experience! From the beginning she was incredibly responsive, always emailing back promptly. Her prices are great and her work is outstanding! We wanted a photographer who would produce natural but still beautiful and finished looking photos. We also did an engagement session her, and our schedules are very hectic but she was flexible and easy to meet up with. The photos we have received of our wedding are absolutely stunning! We asked her to shoot a wedding at a venue she hadn't shot before, both inside and outside at night. The photos are amazing and she works very creatively with the space. I couldn't recommend a better photographer! As a bonus, she's so professional and organized that as long as you follow her set-up list, you should feel taken care of the entire time! She knew the wedding itinerary as well as I did! Her second photographer was also great, but she took most of the men's photos so I didn't have as much contact with her- but her photos are gorgeous as well! I cannot recommend Tara strongly enough. If you want a complete set of beautiful, natural and fun photos, definitely talk to her!

I absolutely loved working with Tara. Two friends of ours used her and loved her and from our very first conversation she was very personal and professional. The day of our wedding was one of the hottest days of the month of June (of course) and she didn't skip a beat at all. She captured every moment and then some. Our pictures turned out absolutely amazing! The only thing we requested was a good picture with our dog(yes we are those people) and the picture she captured was one of mine and my husbands favorite picture. I would recommend Tara to anyone!

If you are looking for a photographer and are considering booking Tara Katherine Photography, please do so! I met Tara at a bridal show and fell and love with her work. Tara was absolutely wonderful to work with! I cannot say how thankful I am to Tara and her second shooter Kay for all their beautiful photos and support the day of the wedding! I received so many wonderful photos that I am having trouble picking which photos I want to get printed and displayed. I love every single photo! Tara is extremely talented, reasonably priced and such a perfectionist. She went out of the way to get the perfect shot and knew when we would be able to get the perfect lighting for our photos. Thank you so much Tara! Your beautiful photos will always remind of us of one of most special days of our lives.

Tara did an amazing job photographing our wedding! Both Tara and her assistant were warm and professional. They made everyone in the wedding party feel comfortable and relaxed. The photos turned out beautiful, and we got the drive with all of the photos within a month. We are in the process of selecting photos for print and for our photo book and cannot wait to see how it turns out. We were so pleased with Tara’s work and professionalism and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

There are not enough nice words to describe how happy I am with Tara and her second shooter Kay. They are absolutely wonderful, professional, personable, and talented! Tara has been a complete joy to work with since the first day I met her at a friend’s wedding! She did our engagement photos are part of our package and they were exactly what we wanted. As happy as we were with the engagement photos, our wedding pictures are even more amazing and we have only seen the sneak peek so far!! I adore her use of color and natural light and just the way she and Kay were able to capture our special moments. Both Tara and Kay came to me before each one of them left and made sure I had every photo I wanted and would not leave until I was happy, and they even commuted over an hour to my wedding, so how super sweet what that?!? Love Tara and Kay and would not have wanted anyone else capturing my special day, highly highly recommend!!

Tara was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning experience. Not only was she an excellent photography choice, but she was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about my wedding planning questions in general. Tara is so friendly and warm that she really makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. Tara is creative and fun and does an excellent job making sure your personality and interests shine through in her pictures-- she suggested we take our engagement pictures at Camden Yards! Her photography packages and deals are unrivaled and made her a really easy choice. We had Kelsey as a second shooter on our wedding day and she was very professional and did a great job too. I'd highly recommend Tara Katherine Photography for any photography needs. I can't wait to have Tara photograph our future family milestones.

Tara was very easy to work with; accessible and professional but also made us feel comfortable. My husband and I used her for our engagement photos (included in your package! Otherwise we would have skipped them) as well as our wedding day and she does a great job giving you direction on poses and keeping you laughing so your smiles look natural. The quality of her work is excellent; well lit, well framed, well timed and with great color and her turn around time is pretty fast too. Having exceptional photos from our wedding was a top priority for us and Tara delivered. We look forward to having her photograph milestones in our family for years to come.

Tara was an amazing photographer to work with for my engagement pictures and wedding! I found Tara through Wedding Wire and contacted her through email. Tara got back to me right away and we set a time to meet in person. We met at a Starbucks where we had a chance to get to know each other a little and talk about her packages and such. I instantly felt comfortable with Tara! She was very professional coming with examples of her work and answers to all my questions. I booked Tara more than a year before my wedding, and we kept in contact through phone and email. Tara was so helpful when it came to planning the engagement shoot, wedding day shots, and my sparkler send off! I was so excited when my engagement photos and wedding photos came in the mail! Tara put a sneak peek on her Facebook, and followed up by mailing a USB of my photos. I have so many photos that it is hard to pick my favorites! I would recommend Tara to any soon-to-be bride! Thank you again, Tara! :)

Tara is an amazing photographer! She makes every photo she takes a good time, but is still professional doing it. I wouldn't have wanted any one else to do our wedding. The quality of her photos are awesome and so beautiful! I would recommend her for any photos you need done, I hope to use her in the future if I want family photos done. She will not let you down!

I worked with Tara on about half a dozen of weddings in 2016 and it's always been fantastic! As a second shooter, you hardly ever have any contact with clients before their wedding day, but Tara made sure to provide me with enough information so that I always walked in to the event equipped with everything I needed to know. She prepared detailed timeline of the day and family formal shot list and insight to couple's personalities and interests. Besides being very organized, Tara is also a very gifted photographer. She always had a clear vision for making the best use of 2 shooters and provided strong guidance as well as creative freedom. One of my favorite moments of working with Tara was when she talked the newlyweds into stepping out for a few minutes during reception to get that wow shot when the light was magical and the crowds were gone. Also, she loves to drive golf carts to get to the best location swiftly and it makes for a great experience for the couple getting married. Can't wait to work with Tara again! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!
