If I could rate this photographer higher than a 5 of 5 I would definitely give her a 5+!!! She has a wonderful eye for creativity to give each photo a little something of your own personality as a couple to shine through while capturing each unique moment without you even realizing she is there! She also added a few AMAZING things to our wedding day that have all of our guests talking. She not only put together a photo slideshow for our guests to watch, she went a step further to add photos from that day at the ceremony and other shots, for guests to see! She put the slideshow together beautifully and then also had a photo station set up with props for guests to use! Everyone had so much fun with the photo station and was brought to tears watching the masterfully crafted slideshow. I would recommend Tara to ANY bride, she is one of a kind wonderful!

Tara you are AMAZING!!!

My husband and I couldnt be any luckier to have Tara shoot our engagement pics and our entire wedding day. Not only was Tara super sweet, she was so fun, easy going and made our e-session and wedding day stress free and special.

From the moment I contacted her to meet us she was super quick to return every phone call, text, or email...and she had some great ideas and tips for the e-session. She finished our e-pics in less than two weeks and her work is incredible. We fell in love with sooo many pics from our e-shoot and are so antsy and excited to see our wedding day pics...we cant wait!!!!

Tara brought a second shooter for the entire day (Noah) and both arrived earlier than was in our contract- I was so happy! She took the time to listen to all the special shots I wanted and had my husband and I recreate every one of them. She was great with our family and wedding party too and everyone loved how she directed us during photos, knew all our names.. and wasnt bossy at all.

Tara made our special day stress free!! She worked out certain details as to timing of certain entrances, dances, bouqet toss etc with our DJ and made our day really seamless. Our guests went crazy over the little photo booth and it was a huuuge it with everyone--from flowergirls to our grandparents. She included a special slideshow of our e-pics and our wedding dady ( which we ALL loved) about 30 mins before our reception ended. It really was a perfect ending to a perfect night. It was so great to see the moment when I walked down the aisle, to the moment we were pronounced as husband and wife...we were able to share those moments again with our family and friends and we will never forget being able to pause for a few mins to re-live those moments ... it really was perfect.

Tara..you and your work is amazing. Thank you SO much for making our day so incredible...we cant wait to see the pics. I also want to thank you for our gift in the bridal suite. That was such an incredible surprise and is already hanging in our new condo :) :) :)

Thanks again...I cant wait to refer you to other brides!!

Tara, Tara, Tara.... She blew me away with her talent! When we first were introduced to Tara by a mutual friend, she drove all the way down to San Diego from her home in San Clemente, just to go over what she was all about. She brought all her books & her adorable personality! It was kind of a no brainer to choose Tara just from first impression alone. She even enjoyed a margarita with us at our apartment and just chilled for awhile talking about how we met, who we were, etc. When our Engagement session came around, Tara made my not-so-comfy-infront-of-the-camera Husband, completely at ease. The Epics turned out AMAZING!!!!
Then came the Wedding day: She was able to control our very "excited" 16 person+ bridal party & still managed to capture some awesome pictures. She brought an amazing/funny/lighthearted team with her, and ever single picture came out awesome. With all the stresses & tears that came from that day, she still made us look like super models!
Tara always returned my emails, phone calls, and text messages in a timely manner and never made me feel like I was inconveniencing her (which with all my bridal planning questions, Im sure I did)!
Tara sure does deliver & I would use her over & over & over if I could.
